Dawn Of Legend:Rise Of An Extra



"Huh?! What do you mean?" Frederick asked, acting confused.

For a moment he wondered if Lucas was joking and was about to laugh it off, but his words caught up in his throat seeing those cold emotionless gazes burning with fury.

"Lu.."

"Frederick!"

A sharp voice cut his speech.

"You know very well what I meant."

Lucas spoke slowly, emphasizing each word carefully.

Parth and Charlee standing in between them rotated their gaze to and fro with a bewildered expression.

Parth even wondered if Lucas had hit his head or if hugging Princess made him lose his mind.

'Damn, man I also want to lose my mind by hugging a beauty.'

If everyone knew what was going on inside Parth's mind, he might be killed instantly right now for real.

"Lucas, what are you saying? You are asking why Frederick didn't save us?" Parth shook his head and decided to interfere.

"Come one man, you are being unreasonable now. Even if Frederick is quite strong among his peers, he isn't that invincible."

Lucas' eyes locked onto Parth's, frightening him.

"Why don't you ask him whether he is or he isn't?"

"Tell me, Frederick, you of all had the power to avert the disaster so why didn't you act? Tell Parth, whether you have a trump card or that I am lying."

"That..." Frederick swallowed his saliva.

At first, he wanted to refute Lucas' claim sharply but something inside his heart got struck seeing Lucas' expression.

How can he not know this feeling?

A feeling of grief of letting down your friend.

A feeling akin to betraying your friend's trust and being unable to live up to their expectations even if they always tried to live up to your expectations.

Those eyes seem to pierce his soul.

Charles felt the air getting somber and the surroundings becoming a chilly blizzard blowing.

His heart screamed warning him that something bad might happen if he didn't interfere now.

"Lucas, what's going on?" Charles asked with a frown.

"Lucas, stop it. You are accusing Frederick wrongly and tell me how you know that." Parth spoke softly by walking towards Lucas and patting Lucas' dropped shoulder.

His fingers flinched due to an electrifying sensation and his eyes contracted as he noticed that, a sharp crimson aura which was unnoticed from afar, was slowly coagulating over Lucas' body as if he was prepared to face a deadly crisis.

"Lucas, calm down." Charles raised his hand noticing an anomaly around the mana surrounding Lucas.

Frederick's eyes also flashed with curiosity.

'Wait! How did Lucas know all this? No, did he know this from before and is he talking about the spear but how?'

Thousands of questions rang in his mind.

Someone who knew his secret and became his friend didn't bode well with him.

Who knows if he later turns out to be a foe?

Even though Frederick attempted to keep his composure, he felt his heartstrings struck by an unknown feeling.

A deep uncomfortable silence lingered for a moment that was broken by the loud grasp of Frederick as Lucas just raised his left hand showcasing something.

His eyes widened seeing the familiar ring on Lucas' finger which almost blew his mind.

"No, it can't be."

"How do you have this?"

Frederick's jaw opened wide and his breathing stagnated witnessing this thing. For a moment, he wondered if this was a lie and he was just dreaming.

"Oh! So, you also know this ring." Lucas smirked, causing Parth and Charles to look at the ring carefully.

"What's with this ring? It looks like an ordinary couple's ring." Parth interjected while scratching his head as this ring looked too ordinary. There wasn't even a jewel on top of it.I think you should take a look at

"Shut up!"

Frederick and Lucas reprimanded Parth at the same time, making him step back.

'What the hell? Why are you in sync now?' Parth stepped with a sullen expression.

Charles pulled Parth back and glared at him to keep quiet.

"What! I was just trying to calm them down."

"More like fanning more flames."Charles snorted.

Lucas turned his gaze towards everyone and then it lingered on Frederick.

According to the book, only four people knew about the presence of this ring aside from Saintess Luna.

The Sage of Humanity who had gone to hide, The Pope, Julian and lastly Frederick.

Julian came to know about this from Luna, while Frederick came to know about this thing from Spear, however, it seems he didn't know about other extra effects except for giving an extra life.

Frederick had tried to poach the ring from Luna but she was too reluctant to part with it. Frederick had met Luna a few times before the academy, where he tried to get this ring but failed while Luna gave him a hint that he would get what he deserved when a suitable time arrived.

Things might become wary if Frederick found that such a precious thing which he was never able to get was handed to Lucas quite easily so Lucas wanted to use this opportunity to clear that this thing had become useless after all he couldn't blindly trust the book.

What if anyone other than this knew about this ring and came after him?

He couldn't blindly assume that.

'I need to make this clear now. And Frederick, forgive me, even if I am going to put you in my shit, it is nothing much for the protagonist, no?'

Lucas smirked,"It seems Saintess Luna had foreseen your incompetence."

"Let me tell you the whole thing."

The commotion in the infirmary ceased for a moment and all the eyes and ears were now locked onto Lucas.

Taking a heavy breath to calm down, Lucas started to narrate the events slowly and steadily,"Last time, when we visited the Church for blessing, everyone should know what happened there. After we saved Ju...Senior Julian from kidnappers of Dark Church,Saintess Luna pulled me aside and gave me this ring saying that it was useful in the future."

"I don't know what this ring is but I thought of it as another one of the pranks played by her. Truthfully, I don't like her at all. She is good at playing with words and had put me in a life-threatening situation last time. However, she forced me to accept this ordinary ring and made me vow to wear this ring without any chance of refusal. I could only swallow my grievance and put up with her as I can't deny such a mighty figure.''

"Before that ugly evil spirit descended and knocked everyone, someone from that group almost killed me, no I think I have died there definitely. I felt as if my soul left my body and I was about to move to the afterlife but just then, this ring flashed with a bright light that seemed to bring me to life. Or you can, it gave me an extra life but before I could rejoice, I was fucked up as I was possessed by someone. I don't even know if it's an Angel or an Evil spirit. My memories are still hazy but after that being taken over my body and channeled his or her power into my body forcefully. All I remember was pain worse than death, like someone tearing and pulling out my nerves one after another."

"Using my body as a medium it destroyed and killed all forces of the Dark Church saving Senior Julian and every one of you. And before leaving, it said that you had power. The power to prevent all this. You had a trump card." Lucas emphasized each word and spoke loudly as if he wanted everyone in this place to hear the story.

Lucas lied with a stoic expression. It was a well-thought-out lie trying to cover up things as much as possible while dumping the blame on Luna and using her as a scapegoat to escape his predicament.

He can even imagine her rotten expression when she learns about this. Even if she is wronged, she can only swallow her grievance as people are going to praise her up to heaven for such a miraculous plan.

There were three reasons behind this.

Blaming Frederick was just a way to open up the chance to narrate the events that happened to get out of trouble and through this he can test Frederick's stance about being their friend.

And lastly, play a victim role and pay back Luna for putting them through that shit. She knew all this was going to happen. That's why she put an additional blessing to help Future Lucas and heal his ruptured heart and broken body without which he would be dead.

'It's time for a triple kill.'

....

There may be a bit of ambiguity and confusion about using the terms of Gods and Goddess. Due to write in a flow, I used the terms that came into my mind while writing which might create a lot of confusion as pointed out by my proofreader. I am also confused in using both the terms.

So, I wanted to clarify a thing.

Gods are the general term and here by God I dont refer to a single God but rather a whole group while Goddess that I mostly used refer to Goddess Rebecca or her group, I mean her particular followers.

From a group of God which includes Goddess, the core of the group or the one who was them is Goddess Rebecca and her group.

So when I refer to Goddess it refers to Goddess Rebecca's group while the term God refers to the whole group.
