500 Years as Just an Extra,

The Original Story Still Won’t Begin

Episode 051

“Can you recognize me? Can you see my face?”

Vivid blue eyes caught in his blurry vision were looking at him with desperate longing.

Why did laughter suddenly come out? Termion, feeling strangely cheerful, threw out an inappropriate joke.

“It’s been a while… hasn’t it.”

“Oh my god, thank you God. Thank you, thank you…!”

Magical power poured out from Ailesia’s hands like a waterfall. Only then did Termion feel his breathing become much more comfortable.

“That whistle, it wasn’t a toy after all.”

“…That thing? That’s what made you like this?”

She didn’t even respond to Termion’s words. She just turned her head with a colder expression than ever before.

“Grrrrrr…”

The Drake that staggered to its feet shook its head vigorously. Despite taking Ailesia’s magic head-on, it looked quite intact.

“The beast is moving again!”

“Load all remaining crossbows! Other personnel focus on defense!”

Just as the Knights were moving busily, Ailesia raised one arm.

“Everyone protect Termion.”

“Pardon?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’ll face it alone, so don’t interfere.”

“No, Teacher.”

The Knight who responded carelessly suddenly stiffened his body. Meeting Ailesia’s gaze directly, he unconsciously swallowed dry saliva.

“I’ll say it once more.”

Ailesia slowly looked at each of the Knights one by one.

Her eyes, calm as a lake, contained chillingly cold killing intent.

“No one interfere.”

Under that overwhelming presence, no one dared to open their mouth.

Some even broke out in cold sweat or staggered as if their legs had lost strength.

The Knights present here were elite among the Tigel Knight Order. They had not only faced all kinds of magical beasts, but also had extensive experience sparring at full strength with Aura Masters.

However, the aura Ailesia was emitting now was on a completely different dimension from all of that. Even knowing she held no hostility toward them, they felt their throats constrict eerily.

“Krooooo!”

The Drake, having completely recovered, roared roughly. The Drake spread its wings and took flight again, then took a deep breath.

Thump!

Ailesia took a heavy step forward, her gaze turning skyward.

Soon, the rage boiling within her exploded outward.

“Today is your death day! You damn lizard bastard!”

Kwarrrrrrung!

Surging magical power spread around, making the atmosphere ring thunderously.

Before anyone knew it, Ailesia’s eyes glaring at the Drake were dyed a brilliant golden color.

“Kyaaaaa!”

Not to be outdone, the Drake also spewed out a Breath Attack on a completely different dimension than before.

A massive dark red flame sphere shot toward the ground. Seeing this sight, Ailesia extended her staff without hesitation.

Piercing Bitter Cold Moonlight

『Moonlight Explosion』

A pale silver magic circle was drawn in midair. A blue flash that instantly swallowed the flame sphere extended relentlessly and struck the Drake’s body hard.

Zzzzzzzing!

From the Drake’s face to its entire upper body turned pure white. Soon ice flowers bloomed magnificently and exploded, sharply tearing apart the giant magical beast’s body.

Pop pop pop pong!

“Kieeeeeek!”

Ice fragments that burst out like blades pierced through the Drake’s entire body.

The hard scales that the Knights couldn’t even scratch no matter how hard they tried were torn more easily than paper.

Kugugung!

With a tremendous sound, the Drake crashed to the ground.

On the red stains that thoroughly soaked the snow field, the Drake writhed in pain.

The pair of wings that had freely ravaged the sky were already riddled with holes everywhere and could no longer function properly.

“Grrrrrluk…!”

Yellow eyes filled with madness found the opponent who had reduced it to this state.

Just as the Drake tried to rise up like a final struggle, a cold voice was heard.

“Where do you get off glaring so insolently?”

Rumble-

Dark clouds suddenly began to gather in the clear sky.

As if God himself was angry, the sound of thunder announcing the final judgment echoed in all directions.

Noble Heavenly Judgment

『Judgement of the Heaven』

Kwaaaaaang!

A single bolt of lightning that struck down with the force to pierce the earth instantly dyed the surroundings pure white.

“Uaaaak!”

“G-get down!”

The moment their vision returned to normal after the thunderous roar that buried even screams, the Knights faced an unbelievable sight before their eyes.

The Drake, hardened like a stone statue, was slowly tilting sideways while emitting pure white steam from its entire body.

And then it finally laid its cursed body on the floor.

Kuuuuung!

A one-sided battle with no tension or fierceness.

In the middle of it all, there was only one woman standing serenely like a lie, her golden hair flowing down to her waist fluttering in the wind.

Ailesia, who had been gazing at the Drake with calm eyes for a moment, suddenly came to her senses and turned around.

“Termion! Are you okay?”

“I’m managing to survive somehow.”

Termion, who had received healing magic, was in slightly better condition than before.

His complexion was still pale and his voice lacked strength, but he could at least force himself to maintain his posture.

Still, his answer didn’t sound very reassuring, so Ailesia carefully took his hand and couldn’t hide her gloomy expression.

“I’m sorry… If only I had come a little faster.”

“It’s fine. Thanks to you, no one died.”

“Say that while looking at your condition! You fool!”

“Really now.”

To think that he, supposedly a Grand Duke, would be called a fool in front of all the Knights.

He couldn’t tell if she was worried or angry.

“You’re probably the only person who can talk to Duke Letis like that.”

“What else should I call a fool but a fool! This guy doesn’t even know his life is precious!”

It was a strange feeling. Was it because this was the first time someone scolded him like this?

‘I thought you were always only interested in Elly.’

Just because he was Elenora’s Uncle? For that reason alone, he couldn’t understand her reaction at all.

Her lips that always wore a smile were rigidly hardened, and her blue eyes that always shone with vitality were filled with fear.

That sight was so pitiful that Termion unconsciously reached out his hand as if enchanted.

‘…She’s definitely different from Elly.’

Her skin, white and clear as snow, was surprisingly soft and smooth. It had such an unrealistic texture that he wondered if it was okay to touch it so carelessly.

Curving his fingers, he gently caressed Ailesia’s cheek.

Though he was the one who was injured, strangely enough, it felt like he should be the one comforting her right now.

“You did nothing wrong, so why are you making that expression?”

“What am I doing?”

“…Don’t tell me, are you crying?”

Seeing her eyes completely distorted, Termion asked in a flustered voice.

Ailesia flinched for a moment, then was startled and threw his hand away.

“C-crying? Who’s crying! A patient shouldn’t say such things!”

“Where is there someone who treats a patient so roughly?”

“Be quiet! Sick people should stay quiet!”

“You’re the one making all the noise though.”

“Argh!”

Ailesia’s face flushed red in an instant as she turned around, fuming.

Not knowing exactly what had made her so angry, she shouted furiously at the knights around them.

“What are you doing! Divide up and collect the corpses, clean up the scene, and guard the perimeter! Are you here to sightsee?!”

“Yes, yes sir!”

“Deal with the blood before other monsters are attracted! Check the ogre corpses near the colony too!”

“Scout from 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock direction! The 6 o’clock end is a cliff, so just guard it!”

“Bring heat stones and cloaks! Maintaining His Highness’s body temperature is the top priority!”

The knights who received the scolding began moving busily. Even so, they kept stealing glances at Termion and Ailesia from the corner of their eyes.

‘This is more like a novel than an actual novel.’

‘Tsk, I’m envious of His Highness…’

‘I’m in favor, absolutely in favor!’

‘Even their looks are a match made in heaven!’

Her popularity was already skyrocketing, and now even the atmosphere between her and Termion seemed unusual.

All the knights watching Ailesia were thinking the same thing.

‘A mage who single-handedly defeats a drake – there’s no better candidate for the mistress of Retis!’

While the Tigel Knight Order, who revered magic as much as martial arts, was indulging in their fantasies, the sound of urgent footsteps grew closer.

“Your Highness, are you safe!”

“Ah, Rebecca. You came quickly?”

“You’ve worked hard, Sir Senberg.”

Termion and Ailesia were so calm in receiving the greeting that Rebecca, who had rushed over urgently, felt somewhat embarrassed.

Her relief was short-lived as she clutched her chest. She had to widen her eyes at the sight of the massive corpse lying in the snow field.

“D-Drake?”
