Reborn As An Extra : I'm gonna mess up everything

Strongest Transformation

Her eyes widened in shock. Her face turned pale. There was no space to dodge.

"Even luck isn't on your side," Elara said with a cruel smirk. He raised his sword high to finish her.

But suddenly, Esdeath's frightened expression turned into a sly grin.

"Gotcha," she whispered.

A small glow appeared around her body.

<Skill activated: Elite Shooter - Time will slow down for 12 seconds>

Swishhh...

The air shifted. Time itself began to slow.

Elara's eyes opened wide. He understood what was happening.

"A time-based thing..."

But it was already too late.

A huge cannon started forming on Esdeath's shoulder, glowing with energy.

"Killer move... Oblivion Nova."

A bright white light burst out of the cannon.

It was blinding.

The beam hit Elara with full force. He flew back like a broken doll, tumbling over fifty meters away. His body was burned, parts of him broken and scorched. He hit the ground hard, smoke rising from his body.

Esdeath's body was slightly trembling, breathing heavily.

"Pant... pant... I have no mana left..." she whispered, as the massive cannon disappeared into thin air turning back to ZK-20.

Esdeath had already used her killer move, Oblivion Nova, more than once. She had been controlling her ZK-20 weapon for quite some time, while also dealing with other things.

She only had B-grade aptitude, so it was natural that she'd run out of energy eventually.

Ethan wasn't in good shape either, though at least he still had a little mana left. The only one who had plenty of mana remaining was Maruti.

"Did we kill him?" Ethan asked, rushing over to Esdeath.

"I don't think it's that easy. Besides, my mana's gone. Just run ahead! Backup should be here soon-if we make it to them, we're safe," Esdeath said, walking quickly in the opposite direction.

"Predictor, give me a speed boost and come with me. I don't think the academy is safe anymore. We also have to bring her with us," Esdeath added, glancing at Maruti.

By "her," she clearly meant Selene. Esdeath had left Selene in the dorm room under Corin's protection-who was now a wolfman-and told Selene not to come out unless Esdeath herself came to get her.

At this point, everything seemed like it might be okay. The rain and thunder had stopped ever since Ethan broke Elara's refinement process.

But then, Elara's clone let out a loud, furious roar.

"You're not going anywhere!" he shouted as he stood up, his body half-burned and smoking.

He ran straight at Esdeath with eyes full of rage. His body started healing, though it looked like it was some strange power helping him recover. Still, he coughed up blood.

Even though he could heal his body, Esdeath's attack had damaged his soul, which was something not so easy to recover from. The hit had done serious harm.

But it still wasn't enough to kill him.

He charged at Esdeath.

For some reason, she didn't notice him coming. Maybe she was too tired. With no mana left, she was no stronger than a normal person now.
