Transmigrating as an Extra, But the Heroine Has Regressed?!

Kael reached the bridge and saw that the bridge was collapsed.

Behind him were two hundreds of demons chasing him.

"KAEL! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Edwin shouted, breaking with fury and fear as he grabbed Kael's arm.

"JUST RUN!" Kael shouted back.

"RUN BEFORE THEY SWARM US!"

Chaos erupted.

Mothers shrieked for their children. Villagers tripped over fallen beams and broken stones, scrambling toward any corner that might provide safety.

The demons were closing in fast.

"WE'RE TRAPPED!" Alina cried.

"We are all going to die"

"No one is gonna die", said Jin.

Selene spun toward Isolde in panic.

"What do we do?! We can't hold this many!"

Isolde gritted her teeth, clutching her emergency talisman in one shaking hand.

"The talisman! Tear the emergency talisman NOW!"

"Jin, hurry!" Elysia shouted.

Jin didn't hesitate.

He yanked the talisman from his belt and ripped it in half with a sharp trip.

But the demons did not stop.

Another shadow streaked overhead.

"MOVE!" he screamed.

A second fireball screamed down from above, hissing like a comet.

This one was aimed at all the survivors.

BOOOOOOM!

The explosion tore through the heart of the group of survivors near the escape bridge, sending shockwaves that knocked everyone off their feet.

Everyone screamed.

"AAAHHHHHH!"

A mother shielded her child with her body, taking the full brunt of the blast.

The heat scorched her flesh instantly, but her arms remained locked around the small boy.

When the smoke cleared, the mother lay still, lifeless, while the trembling child whimpered beneath her charred cloak.

"No… no, no, no…" Alina's voice cracked as she dropped to her knees beside another fallen villager, desperately channeling healing mana that couldn't save the already dead.

The survivors were few. Most of the villagers had been incinerated in the blink of an eye.

The handful who remained clung to each other, coughing from smoke and choking back sobs.

Rage flared in Edwin's chest like wildfire. He turned to face the advancing horde.

"You mosters!" he roared, gripping his blade so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

Beside him, Jin's expression twisted into raw fury.

"I'll kill you a thousand times!" He drew his weapon and planted his feet, mana surging along the edge of his twin swords.

"WAIT—don't be stupid!" Selene cried, grabbing at Jin's arm.

"There's too many of them!"

But neither Edwin nor Jin listened.

The two charged forward.

Kael's heart pounded as he watched them rush toward certain death.

The emergency talisman suddenly lit up with a deep glow in Professor Slyvia's office, shining brightly.

Slyvia's looked at it as soon as she saw it, she knew right away it was the emergency signal from the Blackstone rescue team.

"Blackstone Plaza… no!" she gasped, shooting to her feet so quickly that her chair toppled backward.

She snatched the talisman from her desk.

She stormed out of her office.

"Someone go to Orwen and ask for my companion!" she said to a group of first year students.

"Now! Tell the principal what's happening. The Blackstone team is under attack!"

"Y-Yes, Professor Sylvia!" they darted away at once, leaving Slyvia to march toward the teleportation terminal.

Meanwhile, at the ruined village of Blackstone Plaza.

"Stay together!" Elysia shouted, gripping her Oath Blade beneath the demons' charge.

Jin, the twin-sword user, stepped forward with a smirk that barely hid the tension in his eyes.

"Two hundred, huh? Guess we'll just have to cut them down until they stop coming."

Edwin, wielding his single blade, cracked his neck and tightened his grip on the hilt. "Don't die showing off, Jin."

"Worry about yourself," Jin shot back.

The first wave of demons lunged forward—hulking beasts with jagged horns and gaping maws.

Jin moved like lightning, his twin blades flashing in arcs of silver as he slashed through the nearest attackers.

One fell with a screech, then another, black blood splattering across the cracked stone.

Edwin, by contrast, was a wall of raw power.

He planted his feet firmly, meeting the charge head-on. With a roar, he swung his sword in a sweeping horizontal slash that cleaved three demons cleanly in half.

"BLAZING SPIRAL", he shouted.

Sparks burst from the clash of steel and claw as he pivoted, driving his blade through the chest of a fourth beast that lunged too close.

"Twenty down!" Jin shouted between gritted teeth, spinning low to slice through a demon's leg before driving his second blade upward into its throat.

"Not enough!" Edwin said to himself.

But for every monster that fell, more surged forward. The endless tide pressed them back step by step.

Their breathing grew faster, sweat streaking their foreheads.

Jin's twin swords began to slow down.

"Damn it," Jin hissed as a clawed fist grazed his arm, tearing through the fabric of his sleeve and leaving a deep gash.

Blood ran freely down to his wrist.

Edwin wasn't faring much better. A massive demon leapt from the side, its horn catching him across the ribs.

The force of the blow sent him staggering back several steps.

"Jin!" Alina shouted as she rushed forward.

she chanted an incantation, streams of energy flowing into Jin's torn arm and Edwin's bleeding side.

"Keep them back!" Selene shouted as she cut down a demon that tried to leap at Alina.

Sparks of magical energy flared from her staff, forming a temporary barrier of shimmering light around the healer.

Kael's eyes hardened as he watched his teammates struggle.

"Damn demons," Kael thought.

Elysia moved to his side. "Stay sharp. Don't let them surround you!"

Isolde and Seraphina followed and they drew their weapon.

Together, they charged into the fray like a single unstoppable wave.

Elysia moved with deadly grace beside them.

Behind them, Edwin, though bloodied and barely standing, refused to falter.

His gaze fell on the terrified villagers clustered near the ruined bridge. Smoke and fire surrounded them, and the bridge itself groaned ominously as chunks of stone began to crumble into the river below.

"Go!" Edwin. He grabbed a young boy first, lifting him with both arms and heaving him across the gap to the safer side of the bridge.

"Edwin, you're bleeding too much!" Alina cried, trying to move closer.

"Doesn't matter!" Edwin roared, lifting another child and threw to the other side.

"We can only fight when they are at safe," Edwin said.
