An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 102.1
Chapter 102.1
The conference room was engulfed in a sea of flames and water.
As I plunged into the heart of the battlefield, where the abilities of Alors and Argenta clashed, I was met with a suffocating wave of humidity and scorching heat. The oppressive moisture clung to me, its warmth a malevolent presence.
Through the swirling steam, I saw him.
Roar!
A powerful surge of water ability surged from beyond the steam, a torrent aimed directly at Diello.
No, it was meant to engulf him.
Thud!
My power intercepted the torrent, causing it to dissipate harmlessly.
“What, what is this?”
I met the bewildered gaze of Duke Alors. His trembling hand pointed at me.
“Krua Alors, how do you possess such power?”
His disbelief was evident as he prepared to unleash another wave of water. Of course, I wouldn’t stand idly by.
Roar!
Empowered by my ability, a sharp jet of water erupted, piercing the conference room ceiling before abruptly turning and surging towards Duke Alors.
“….!”
Swoosh!
He managed to deflect the initial strikes, though his limitations soon became apparent. As the water grazed his body, inflicting wounds, his expression grew desperate.
“You couldn’t even control a single drop of water…!”
Gritting his teeth, he barely had time to dodge.
I watched with a cold gaze as he frantically evaded my attacks. And when he was sufficiently disoriented…
Splash!
I unleashed a powerful torrent of water, sending him flying.
“Ugh!”
Duke Alors crashed violently against the conference room wall.
“How dare you, without the power of the source?!”
Despite the impact, Duke Alors gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with malevolent intent.
“It’s useless to struggle!”
With a face contorted with rage, he launched another torrent of water. However, just as he thought he had gathered enough power to strike, the water changed course.
“….”
My eyes widened as I saw the distorted expression of Duke Alors.
The water surged towards Diello.
I tried to stop it, but was I too late?
Whoosh!
Belatedly, I summoned my power, weakening the momentum of the water that threatened to pierce Diello. Nevertheless, I couldn’t completely prevent it from reaching him.
Sizzle!
A split second later, a wall of fire erupted from Diello, repelling the water.
“….”
Diello exhaled a short breath.
The weakened torrent of water cascaded down his body. And perhaps because of the water seeping through his battle-torn clothes…
Swoosh!
I sensed a strange presence within him.
More precisely, beneath his collarbone, where the lilies should be.
Ah.
That was the true appearance of the lilies.
The one that hindered the power of the head. It seemed I could sense it more acutely now that I was a head myself. Even though Nira must have used special makeup to conceal it, it seemed the water had washed it away.
“….”
And Duke Alors noticed the change as well. Emerging slowly from the steam, his expression contorted.
“That shadow assassin should be dead? And besides…”
He couldn’t believe that I was the one who had blocked his water.
He shouldn’t believe anything else. Now that I had no reason to feign obedience to him, I looked him straight in the eye.
“I saved Nira.”
Duke Alors’ face contorted.
“…What?”
There was no need for me to explain further. With a twisted expression, the Duke once again summoned water.
Hiss…
Maliciously, he launched a torrent of water and steam towards Diello.
“….”
In an instant, I shielded Diello, who had momentarily frozen. Without taking my eyes off Duke Alors, I blocked his water.
Crack!
A radiant power erupted from my hand. Seeing the head’s mark on the back of my hand where I had shielded Diello, Duke Alors’ jaw dropped.
“You, you…?”
What a truly unimaginable expression.
It was exhilarating, but I wasn’t done yet.
Swoosh!
The power that gathered in my hand began to amass water beneath Duke Alors’ feet—a swirling prison of water.
“….!”
Duke Alors desperately reached out with his magic, but it was a feeble resistance. As he became trapped in the water, I wrapped my arm around Diello’s shoulder.
“….”
Gritting his teeth, he was struggling more than I had expected. Dried blood clung to the corners of his mouth.
It was a testament to the countless horrors he had endured every time the hot steam touched him. It was probably because the memories of his childhood were resurfacing. The feeling of the child trembling in his dreams was vivid. The current him was trembling in a similar way.
“It’s okay.”
I took Diello’s trembling hand and pulled him closer.
Don’t tremble.
I suddenly remembered when Duke Alors had trapped me in water.
‘Don’t resist.’
