Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 399: The Path to Ascension appears... Part-1.



Maya Continent.

Central Plains, Center of the Chaotic Mana.

Standing in the sky, Alverto could see all the weak demons squirm around on the ground like

worms.

Hundreds and thousands of lower-rank demons can be seen standing on the central plains.

There are demons everywhere, as far as the eye can see.

"You are finally here..."

Alverto glanced to the side, and a purple-haired man walked out of a portal.

"Well, the plans are in their final stages; it's about time I come here personally..."

Neo shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the sky.

"Is it time yet?"

Alverto nodded his head at that question.

"Yeah, I am waiting for the moons to appear. It is said that if you something under the presence of moonlight, it brings luck."

Neo sneered at those words and spoke in an amused tone.

"I didn't except even demons believe in things like these... That's something quite shocking..."

Alverto shook his head and replied in a calm voice,

"Well, I also didn't use to believe in these things before, but a certain exception appeared in our kind... I guess even demons can change under particular circumstances..."

Alverto shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Neo before asking,

"By the way, it's been quite a few decades since we started working together; finally we will have our goals accomplished..."

Neo laughed a bit at those words and shook his head,

"Forget about cooperation; the moment the plan finishes and I am free, the first thing I will do is kill you and obliterate you into nothingness, Demon Prince..."

Hearing Neo's threats, Alverto just laughed a bit and replied in a calm voice,

"Well, we will see who will kill who; what I am doing is for the sake of the world anyway; it won't matter if I die after completing my goals; as for you... I think you should be more worried about how you will survive..."

"After all, the moment you go back to the human empire, you will be hunted down by Ashtel Rex..."

"Although I also have a score to be settled with him, I am not really 100 percent sure I can spare the time to deal with him right now... You, on the other hand, are completely helpless in front of him..."

At those words, Neo laughed coldly, and a wide grin appeared on his face.

"Hehe, unlike you, I have only been planning for a few decades, but I am not sloppy either, demon prince..."

"I already have the plan and the assets to finally get rid of that thorn called Ashtel Rex that's been poking my neck again and again!"

"That guy's been restricting my movements for decades now, and he bosses me around like I am his subordinate or something... Hmph, I have been waiting for this day for so long..."

"Now's the time; I will deal with him once and for all..."

Hearing Neo's words of determination, Alverto smiled happily.

"Yes! Ahaha, that's the reason why I decided to team up with you; you have the cunningness to be considered my partner..."

"It was a good thing I teamed up with you; it would have been such a waste if we hadn't started working together..."

"The offer still stands the same. Neo Aldif, accept Demonification, become my subordinate... You will achieve a lot if you become my subordinate..."

Neo waved his hand at those words and directly rejected that offer.

"No, as I said, we are just partners, and I am not planning on becoming a demon at all; once I deal with Ashtel and my plan comes to an end, the next thing I will do is deal with you..."

"Make sure you are ready; after all, by that time I will be so strong that even the dragon king will have to lick my boots... hehe..."

Alverto shook his head at those words.

"Your dreams are quite big; I wonder if you really have the capability to support those dreams though..."

"I haven't met someone like you ever before who is able to go to such great lengths to the point of colliding with demons just to deal with their nemesis..."

"I guess you are one of a kind, Neo Aldif... I have to praise you for your persistence, I guess..." Neo smirked at Alverto's words of praise and replied in a confident tone,

"Well, those who are born with nothing and are forced to see others remain happy, learn to snatch that happiness by force from others's hands and make it their own..."

"Ever since the start, ever since the very beginning, I have done anything and everything to reach my level today; you can say that my journey to rank SS was one of the most eventful among all..."

"Unlike Ashtel, who rose like a rocket and never struggled at anything, I have faced more difficulties in life... And to tell you the truth, I envy him a lot..."

"I envy how he's so upright and so strong, yet is able to remain so disciplined and is respected all over the world... He's the exact opposite of me..."

Neo crossed his arms and gritted his teeth before continuing speaking.

"I will rip apart that façade of benevolence from his face and break that pride of his to bits!"

"Although my 'original plan' didn't succeed, now I am quite sure that this will end it all at last..."

Alverto brought out two glasses of wine from his space ring, handed one to both of them, and poured some wine for both of them.

"Well, this is the last wine we are having together; let's enjoy ourselves; after this, we will be mortal enemies of each other..."

Neo grabbed the wine and used an artifact to scan it for any kind of poison or curse and only drank it after confirming that it wasn't tempered in any way.

Alverto sighed at that and spoke in an amused tone,

"Haha, no need to be so suspicious; we are still comrades in arms right now..."

"I am not like other demons; I have been enlightened two times; I have enough dignity to not

do sneak attacks at the least..."

Neo sneered at those words,

"Hmph, just like how a dog wearing clothes would still remain a dog, a demon will still remain a demon even if they got the heavenly blessings and got immense wisdom..." "All demons are the same; drop the façade of being a gentleman; it doesn't suit you at all, demon prince... Perhaps you should try it on someone else... It won't work on me..." Although Alverto and Neo are working together, they are in it for their own personal benefits. Both of them made deals that benefitted them both on equal terms; the two of them are in a win-win situation; that's why their cooperation is still working fine.

Once they both get what they want to achieve, they will become enemies that very instant. That is the kind of partnership the two of them have between them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Alverto and Neo are both the same kind of people in a sense; they both like to scheme behind the scenes and work while hiding themselves in the shadows.

Even when they have both shown a few points of their plans to the world with their actions, the world still can't figure out what they are planning to do and is still in the dark after everything they have done.

This simply shows how good both of them are at laying out long-term plans, which even the strongest people in the world will find difficult to decipher.

In fact, the two themselves don't know what the other party is actually planning at the end.

The two are only working with each other for specific gains, but both of them didn't tell each other about their full plans and what they are going to achieve with them.

In other words, only they themselves know about the full extent of their plans, and the rest of the world is completely oblivious about it all.

Just like nobody knows why Alverto is collecting those fragments, nobody knows what Neo is trying to achieve with forbidden magic.

Not even Alverto knows what kind of forbidden magic has Neo stolen for himself and what its

effects will be.

While the two sipped the wine, the two moons finally appeared in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the entire area with its brightness.

"It's time..." Alverto glanced at the sky and smiled to himself; his two-hundred-year plan has finally

started to show its results.

"What are you going to do with that kid, by the way? Is he already useless?"

Hearing Neo's question, Alverto smirked a bit,

"No, there's still one last purpose for him; even after extracting all that luck, there's still the

last few strands left. I will extract everything dry out of him, even the last few bits..."

"I have no personal grudges against him; it's just that for my plan to succeed, I must get that luck out of him; he's just an unfortunate victim, I guess..."

Alverto glanced at the sky and looked at the two moons with a smile on his face.

"The time has come, now the moment when those fragments will show their true purpose..."

"You have been asking me for quite some time why I have been collecting those fragments,

right?" "Actually, there are only three purposes these fragments can serve... I only know one purpose out of the three..."

"In fact, even I don't know what these fragments actually are, but I was fortunate enough to know what I can achieve with their blessings..."

"I will change the world forever with this power; rejoice! You will be the first to lay your eyes

on it, Neo..."
