Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Huff...Huff.....

With heavy gasps, Lucas stared at the scattered corpse around him for a moment and then put them inside the bracelet.

"If I sell these corpses outside it would fetch a great sum but all of this will be taken by the academy."

Through treachery, he took down a horde of Kobolds by trapping them in a hole and throwing fireballs at them until they died while at other times, he would hide and observe other battles.

When someone loses against 1-Star and teleports out, Lucas would sneak in and take down the prey

He stared at the experience points after killing 12 1-Star while avoiding 2-Star and above.

His exp was at 18700

"I can finally buy the mana breathing technique now, "Lucas was satisfied with the way he advanced.

Instead of looking for trouble, he chose to play as safely as possible.

Lucas, who was in a pleasant mood, heard the sound of footsteps. He turned around and as soon as he saw the person gawking at him, he knew he was in trouble.

"Why is there so much blood here?"

"How many points do you have? Can you show it to me?"

David spoke with a wide grin as he walked towards Lucas.

Suppressing his inner desire to curse, Lucas spoke with an amicable expression"I am ashamed to show you my points. It's quite less."

"Still it's better than nothing isn't it?"David spoke, walking forward.

Lucas took a step back.

"Don't be afraid. I am here to help you."

"See, you are suffering and going through a lot of hardship. This place is too much for you to survive, isn't it?"David muttered nonchalantly.

"So?" Lucas asked while running the horses in his mind to think of a way to get out of there.

"So, it's simple. Just give me the points and get eliminated. There is no need to endure anymore."

'Bullshit. How can a person speak shamelessly with such a sincere expression.'

'His pretty face makes him an excellent scammer.'Lucas cursed David.

Annoying bugs like him can be found everywhere.

As David came closer to Lucas while preparing to attack, Lucas screamed suddenly.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!A 3-Star beast is coming at us."

"What.....Where?"David shrieked in panic and looked back only to find nothing.

Hushhhh!

Cold air blew carrying dried leaves along with it.

Lucas activated the flash step and ran ahead.

His speed increased and his body felt light. However, he had only taken a few steps when his legs jolted and he stumbled crashing into the ground.

"Ahhh!"

"I am not used to this. If I knew this would happen, I would have practiced before."

Lucas stood up and lunged ahead without looking back. The fall wasted 3-4 seconds of Flash Steps however Lucas did not panic.

The terrain was not apt for chasing. The muddy soil with literal falls along with broken twigs scattered all around makes it hard to get a good footing.

Lianas and creepers shrouded one vision so as long as Lucas could maintain sufficient distance, he would be safe.

Lucas saw a greenish basilisk jumping at him. Lucas sidestepped and holding the tail, threw it at David who sliced it into two parts with just a slash.

"Hey, get back here."

"If you promise to hand over your points peacefully? I swear I will not make things difficult for you."David shouted, chasing behind Lucas.

"Why is he so obsessed with my points?"

"I just have 15 points. Why don't you look for another one?"Lucas screamed.

"15 points is enough. Just give it to me."

'Damn it! What kind of maniac is he?'

'Once I reach 2-Star, I will beat his ass.'

Rolling and sliding, Lucas tried to escape.

On the way, he did not find anyone who could divert the bastard's attention.

The terrain changed and the thick rays of the sun bathed him suddenly, and running all around Lucas found an open patch of land filled with grasses.

Slamming his foot off the ground, he leaped ahead deciding to climb a tree in the dense vegetation after this grassland but his feet came to an abrupt halt.

SCREECH!

"Haaaa...…Exhausted are you?"A mocking voice echoed from behind.

"You should have listened to me and handed over the points?"David spoke joyfully and came near Lucas.

However, as he came out from the bush and got closer, he heard a loud shriek making his hair stand up in fear causing him to yell loudly.

A hush silence prevailed for a moment.

Far away from them stood a gigantic wolf over 4 meters tall fighting with Charles and his sidekicks.

The Steel Wolf and Charles party paused in their tracks and turned their gaze toward the two newcomers.

While Charles and his sidekicks along with David made stupid faces, his speed of response by Lucas to the desperate situation was swift and decisive.

Turning around, he stomped his feet on the ground and made a run.

Irked by Lucas's sudden move, The Steel Wolf growled fiercely. The huge protruding horn over the snout glowed and a bolt of lightning was shot.

Lucas's senses screamed and noticing his back was lighted, he activated his flash steps and reversed his run.

BOOOM!

A bolt of lightning descended and struck a few steps before Lucas forming a small crack in the ground.

Lucas almost cried wondering why...

Why was he attacked when there were others besides him?

Did he have an innate ability to pull aggro on monsters?

This is unreasonable….

He questioned his cruel fate for an answer, but instead of getting an answer, what he heard was the growling sound of the Steel Wolf who on seeing a weak bug surviving its attack felt his ego hurt.

"What kind of stupidity is this? Ignoring Charles and others who pose a threat to him, it's coming for me."

Dragging its huge body, the Steel Wolf charged ahead making the ground tremble.

"Hey, attack now. This is the best chance we have got."Charles let the monster go and then ordered his sidekicks but the Steel Wolf was quite fast.

"No, don't come here. I did not do anything."Shouting stupidly, David made a run trying to outrun Lucas.

To Lucas's misfortune, he successfully outruns him and made Lucas the sole target of the monster.

Lucas knows the difference in speed so using flash steps whose cool down was over, he climbed up the nearest tree as quickly as possible.

Charging over, the Steel wolf noticed Lucas and slammed its huge body straight against the tree.

BANG!

The tree shook causing the branches to sway.

Pulling itself back, it struck again and slashed its huge paw at the tree breaking its trunk apart.

Its body collided with the other trees, making them tilt.

The trunk was unable to take in, burst apart and the tree broke and glided down with great velocity.

The huge tree got entangled with the other trees via creepers and vines causing another tree to fall along it.

The Steel Wolf raises its two paws to slash again, seeing Lucas jump to another tree, and just then a boulder of rock hits him from behind.

Meanwhile, Lucas held onto the branch tightly.

In a normal world, he would be good as gone if he was in this situation but it's different here.

He decided to jump just before the tree plunged into the ground.

Lucas's heart thumped wildly and his breathing hastened.

CREAAAAAKK!

With a creaking sound, Lucas jumped to another tree falling with it, and then jumped another.

Scratches and bruises appeared all over his body as he did so.

Just when he was searching for a landing spot, he found David struck between the falling trees all around him.

"Found you."

Lucas stomped his feet with all his might and shot at David like a bullet. Coupled with the momentum of descent, he rotated his sword and raised his handle to strike.

David, who was protecting himself from getting buried under the trees, heard a rustling sound. He glanced around but being unable to spot any, he raised his head a bit only to find something slamming his head and knocking him down.

Bright stars danced in his dark vision and drowsiness embraced him, making him fall to the ground with a thud.

Lucas knocked him down and had hardly taken a breath of relief when he saw trees falling over him.

"Shit! I jumped too early."

His flash step was still in a cool-down period and he was running low on stamina. He tried to make a run again but before he could do that trees and twigs started to pour over him one after another.
