He had decided that he would kill that man with his own hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and Alverto tracked down Kevin’s tracks and used his cursed puppets to figure out where Kevin was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even made another deal with Neo and asked him to distract Ashtel so that he can carry out his plan of destroying Kevin along with everything he cared for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Neo a piece of valuable information and told him about the forbidden spell’s location, which Neo would go on to use in the future to possess his own son’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was a person who liked to make bets on many things at the same time; he agreed with Alverto without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told Ashtel that there was a new SS-rank gate near the edge of the solar system and he should go deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gate was in fact discovered by Neo several years ago; he was keeping it hidden from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was using it to raise his ’tools’; he immediately abandoned those ’tools’ and sacrificed them for his own plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raji hadn’t ascended to rank SS properly yet, and thus there weren’t any other SS-rankers to stop Alverto from wreaking havoc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly teleported to the ’Drift City’ and used that same infectious miasmic bioweapon to deal a devastating blow to the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Local authorities collapsed almost immediately; nearly all awakeners were either slaughtered by Alverto or got corrupted too deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of thousands of people rushed all over the place and became demons in a matter of seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was pure chaos; Alverto used this tactic to draw out all the stronger awakeners in the city, exhausting them with the angry mob before ultimately finishing them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan was to destroy everything that Kevin cared about; thus, he didn’t spare any effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even carved out a massive miasma circle on the ground, which started using the miasma and blood in the surroundings as its fuel to summon even more powerful demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Royal demons have the ability to use a summoning circle to summon other demons from the demon continent or anywhere else in the world for their own aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability of theirs is the main reason why all races try to assassinate all royal demons the moment they appear in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are basically a walking army on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Alverto was wreaking havoc on Drift City, Kevin had no other choice but to confront him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin was already depressed from not being able to get along with his family, and he had already stopped using the ’soul-splitting’ sword by now, as he couldn’t handle it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the only S ranker in the vicinity and had no room to retreat, as he had to secure a safe route of retreat for his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin fought Alverto and smashed the demon summoning circle to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alverto and Kevin’s fight caused massive damage to the entire city, but Kevin was consciously trying to avoid damaging the area where his family had escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not in his prime anymore, as he had already abandoned his weapon and his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he fought with Alverto on equal terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alverto used the other demons to his advantage and kept throwing them at Kevin to exhaust him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin being weaker and having to hold back because of his family became the reason why he ended up letting his guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An evil smirk appeared on Alverto’s face as he brought out another vial of the corruption-spreading bioweapon; he used that small mistake to his advantage and splashed that bioweapon on Kevin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a powerful and concentrated amount of corruption was not something that even Kevin could resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body started to melt away and turn into black corrupted filth; his left arm liquified almost instantly and fell off from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already starting to lose his sanity, but he held on with sheer willpower and killed even more demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he felt like he was going insane, the more fiercely he fought; he had become a berserker at that point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Alverto was shocked at his strong willpower and couldn’t do any more damage to him after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin slaughtered nearly half of the demons in the entire city all by himself, and his efforts didn’t go unrewarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He succeeded in holding Alverto and other powerful demons down for a long time with his continuous rampage; this gave the awakener’s association enough time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several S-rankers from all over the nations rushed over to the drift city in a matter of minutes, and Alverto had no other choice but to think about retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn’t accomplish all of the goals that he wanted, he at the very least succeeded in getting revenge for his comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kevin’s entire body had already liquified due to corruption by that point, and his bones were starting to show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the arriving presence of several strong S-rankers, Kevin finally stopped his rampage and collapsed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Alverto lifted his spear and cut off Kevin’s head in one swift strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This incident created giant waves in the hearts of all citizens of the human empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a cruel act of massacring an entire city caused widespread fear in the empire and caused massive loss of both life and property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Kevin’s desperate efforts, a few dozen people managed to survive that tragedy, and Rio became one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wasn’t a good dad or a good husband, he protected his child to the very end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene in Alverto’s memory, Rio let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that how it is... it’s all just a chain of revenge... he killed for revenge and now I also am trying to deal with him for revenge...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As they say, the path of revenge is one of the worst; it’s cruel, and it never ends in greatness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio shook his head as he spoke those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Drift City incident, Alverto had to become completely underground to avoid getting killed by Ashtel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time talks about that horrifying incident died down, Fade appeared, and Alverto had no other choice but to appear again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest obstacle in his path was no one else but Ashtel Rex, the strongest human in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Ashtel, Alverto couldn’t just barge in and capture Fade easily; he had to make a proper plan first, and most importantly, he needed to gather three ’Fragment’ first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Rio couldn’t see any memory of Alverto ever describing the origin or the function of those unknown ’fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was certain: Alverto needed to collect at least ’three fragments’ to summon the ’Spire of Ascension.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio couldn’t see any further into Alverto’s memories and couldn’t even figure out his actual plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After relaying so much information, the memory fragment finally collapsed, and the environment around Rio shattered, as if it were a giant mirror collapsing into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio finally appeared in the place that he had been aiming for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lowest floor of the Spire of Ascension,Floor 0.\u003C\u002Fp>",1671,"2026-05-30T11:25:30.853Z","2026-06-01T04:31:07.166Z",1,"novelbin.me","deba29de8694e5dba1e933553b5f5540c28f37bbd129ba3b67e90004bb86fe41","reborn-as-an-extra-chapter-457","reborn-as-an-extra-chapter-455",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-an-extra-cover.jpg"]
