Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy



The battle continued for several hours, to the point that several showed signs of exhaustion.

And it was not until the sun went down that everyone realized something was wrong. Despite fighting like that, dozens of golems were still left behind.

Everyone, after a round of fighting, found that golems had not been attacking, rather they were firmly blocking the path ahead. Only after stepping into a certain radius, would the golem attack.

Sixty percent of the students were unable to step out of the test site. However, all of them were in a state where they could no longer fight due to injuries and exhaustion.

Lucas stared at the disappointed faces of the students.

'It's a blessing in disguise. You might end with a few broken bones, but at the least, you might not die if you are a bit lucky.'

If given a choice, Lucas did not want to stay where the golems will go crazy and rampage across the place.

Though it was better to fight golems than members of Omen, he would rather not get surrounded and die being crushed under a golem.

Their configuration is set to easy mode. So, they value defense over attack now. But soon it was going to change.

If the instructors don't react, this place will become a graveyard.

Activating flash steps, Lucas sped his way through the gaps.

A golem swung his arms at Lucas, which he avoided by simply sliding against the floor. He then stood up, seeing another golem blocking his way.

Sidestepping to avoid the golem attack, Lucas lunged over the golem's shoulder. Maintaining his foothold over the broad shoulder of the golem, he stabbed his sword through the small gap.

"Kheeemmm!"

The veins on his arms bulged outward as he pushed his sword to the left through the joint.

CRACKLEEEE!

The joint through which the hand was attached broke out and fell on the ground.

Lucas then moved towards the neck and did the same. Advancing similarly, Lucas gleamed after finding a gap.

He took out a small black ball and threw it.

The ball bursts, emitting black smoke covering one's vision. The golem came to a standstill in the black fog. Lucas used this chance to run out and escape.

As soon as Lucas managed to get out of the first hurdle, he reacted immediately by raising his sword before him.

"Lucasss!"

CLANGGG!

Sparks flew in the air and Lucas's feet dragged back on the ground for a few steps…

Lucas's eyes twitched, seeing the figure of a blonde-haired girl glaring at him.

"Helena!"

CLANG!

Before he could speak, Helena struck again.

"I will defeat you today." Helena declared confidently.

"Damn Helena, why are you so obsessed with me?"

"Why are you making me feel like a sinner who committed a crime by defeating you?" Lucas screamed in annoyance as he did not want to waste time on her. He wanted to move to the hiding spot before the sunset.

"Shut up and fight me!"

Lucas cursed in his heart.

Wild girls like her were hateful and in s, love-hate relationships like this often end up as a couple.

'Damn! I swear even if you are the last girl left alive and even if I have to die a virgin, I will not marry you. I should throw Parth into your wildfire.'

Lucas cleared his messy thoughts and started fighting back.

Helena pushed three pairs of slashes one after another, which Lucas parried easily.

"Helena, even if you don't care about your figure, at least think about me."

"How will I marry in the future? You are ruining my innocence? I don't want useless rumours to spread about me?"Lucas spoke seriously.

Though, Lucas wanted to mock Helena, making her lose her composure. He wasn't lying in this regard. If Parth saw this scene, he wouldn't let this chance go and make him lose his face in public.

"Damn, you! Stop bullshitting." Helena screamed angrily.

'Tsk.'

Seeing the sun almost down, Lucas clicked his tongue.

'I can't defeat her in the short run. I need to find a chance.'

The two closed in and Lucas slashed at Helena, who parried Lucas's blow easily, but Lucas simply mutated his slash into a thrust.

Lucas threw cuts and thrusts at Helan relentlessly, driving her towards the edge not letting her get a firm balance.

She was surprised to see Lucas on an offensive run. Lucas's moves had changed beyond her imagination. Previously, his moves were crude and filled with flaws, but now they were quite refined, and elegant and each move was packed with power.

Helena desperately parried the attack, then tried to find an opening to counter, but Lucas pressed on her without yielding, never giving up the initiative to attack.

Samar's swordsmanship needs space to display precision, which is blocked by Lucas. Every time the distance widens, Lucas would close in using flash steps.

Lucas's tip finally slipped past Helena's guard, and he jerked his hand back, barely turning his sword to cleave from the side into a gash across Helena's hands.

In shock and pain, Helena stumbled back in her steps on the ground with a cut across her right arm.

Gritting her teeth, Helena jumped up only to see leaves fluttering in the air.

"Damn! He ran away again." Helena cursed, gnashing her teeth, and stomped her feet in anger.

"Next time, I will get you."

She then stared at her wound. Hesitating for a moment to decide whether to use a potion or not, she decided to conserve the potion.

"The sun had settled. I should search for a safe house and then look for Rose. She is the one who abandoned me first, so I am not at fault for separating from her."

"Hmm!" Helena snorted.

............

Students at the outer edge have already given up fighting the golems. The stronger ones have already passed through the lines leaving the weaker ones to wriggle in despair.

Still, they did not lose hope, as the golems had stopped attacking them. Unless you move closer to the periphery, the golem will not attack you.

Taking a good rest to replenish themselves and strategize about this, they can attempt to advance tomorrow.

Maybe the exam planners had expected something like this to happen and hoped the weaker ones would unite as a group to work together and clear the lines.

"Taking out the golems by ourselves is too much."

"Even if we can take 2-Star ones, 3-Stars possess great difficulty."

"We need to draw their attention."

The entire place descended into silence at this suggestion.

"Do we have no other option?" Minna asked, taking the lead.

"I don't think so, "Esprit replied beside her.

As the heavy tension lingered and the discussion went on, all of them felt the familiar feeling of shaking ground.

"Am I the only one feeling this," asked Jasprit.

"No, I can feel the ground shaking."

"Something is wrong."One of them screamed.

As everyone moved out to discern what was going on.

Far away from the darkness, red dots started to emerge one after another through the darkness.

"Are they golems? Don't they emit a bluish glow?"

Someone muttered, confused by the situation, but his words fell into a dead ear.

On being showered by rays of the moon, the body of the hellish golem emitted a reddish haze seemingly more violent than before reflected in their eyes.

A deathly chill radiated for a moment, making the temperature freeze around the students.
