The Extra Who Shouldn't Exist novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239 : A Haunting realization (2)

Alex stood perfectly still, the fractured air around him humming with unseen energy. His expression was calm, eyes half-lidded, his sword glowing faintly as space itself began to distort around him.

Under his breath, so low that not even Alden or Ethan could hear, Alex whispered,

"Astral Void Rend, Fifth Form: Dimensional Sever."

The world stilled.

Then—space screamed.

All four of Alex’s echoes moved at once, perfectly synchronized with him, as they swung their blades in unison. Their slashes cut through reality itself, creating jagged rifts that tore across the battlefield.

Each tear glimmered like a mirror of the void, devouring light, sound, and even the raging hurricanes of black fire that hurtled toward them. The torn space expanded, twisting inward—collapsing into miniature black holes that began swallowing everything in their path.

The eleven infernal hurricanes, the flames, even the distorted air itself—all were consumed into nothingness. The coliseum floor cracked and buckled under the weight of collapsing space.

The storm of destruction ended in eerie silence. Only the echo of space knitting itself back together remained.

Alden stood frozen, his sword trembling in his hand. His mind refused to believe what his eyes had seen.

’He... he tore space apart,’ he thought, his heart pounding. ’Did he just... create black holes with his sword technique ? Even a master(peak) rank couldn’t control a force like that.’

Then something else struck him. His memories flickered back to an image, a faint recollection of a duel of a silver haired boy with his sister.

’That technique... I’ve seen it before. Then suddely a hunting realization dawned on him

No... no, it can’t be.’

His disbelief turned into manic laughter, echoing through the coliseum.

"Hahaha! No way... this can’t be real that guy died."

Even his echoes began to laugh with him, their voices distorting with madness.

The echoes of Alex flickered and disappeared like fading shadows, their purpose complete.

Alex lowered his sword, looking toward Alden’s wild expression with mild amusement.

"Did you like that technique?" he asked with a teasing grin. "My annoying master taught it to me herself. Cool, right? Creating temporary black holes with a swing? Makes training rather... interesting and horrible i wouldn’t recommend trying it."

Alden’s eyes narrowed. His voice came out sharp and commanding. "Remove your mask."

Alex’s smile vanished. For a moment, the arena was silent.

Then he replied coldly, "Sorry, but I don’t like being ordered around." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Alden’s pupils shrank. That voice is different but that tone. The way he spoke—it was too familiar.

’That manner of talking... it’s way similar to him...He’s also wielding my sister’s sword which she never let’s someone borrow.’

Before alden could finish the thought, Alex vanished.

A blur of motion. A flicker of black lightning.

In the next instant, ten of Alden’s remaining echoes were decapitated—clean, precise cuts that left them no time to react. Their bodies disintegrated into sparks, fading into the air.

Alden barely had time to raise his sword before Alex’s blade was at his neck.

When suddely—Ethan appeared.

With a roar, Ethan tackled Alden aside and took the slash directly to his chest as blood sprayed out.

But just as suddely flames erupted from the wound, healing him instantly.

Ethan stood upright, glaring at Alden and shouting, "What are you doing just standing there? Snap out of it! That guy’s beyond both of us—we’ll need to work together if we want to survive this!"

A sword materialized in Ethan’s hand—the Celestial Sunblade, his divine weapon.

But Alex noticed something. The once radiant golden sword was still stained—its edges blackened, pulsing faintly with corruption.

A smirk formed beneath Alex’s mask.

’Looks like you’re still struggling to make that weapon accept you, hero.’

Ethan clenched the sword tighter, muttering under his breath,

"Dawnbreaker Judgement, Fourth Form: Severing Ray."

A beam of concentrated light-energy burst from his blade, transforming into a cannon of divine thunder, racing toward Alex with impossible speed.

Alex raised his sword calmly and took the same stance.
