You think I am a little kid who can be easily fooled, right? You only hit me with the flute! I won’t fall for that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio’s skills worked directly on the soul level, and as he didn’t harm or do anything bad to Kifrid, it was near impossible for Kifrid to even notice anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even SS-rankers might not be able to sense that Rio changed something inside Kifrid’s soul and sea of consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the scariest and most horrific factor of Rio’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the victim would know what happened to them once hit by Rio’s powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these powers were in the hand of some villain, he could have created hell on earth by misusing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, don’t be greedy, kiddo. I already blessed you with such an amazing blessing. what else do you want? I only have some candies left now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the word candy, Kifrid’s eyes shone brightly but he somehow managed to stop himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, my mom said not to take candies from strangers; I will not fall for that trick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio could only give a wry smile at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it was Riya she might have fallen for that trick though... but well, she’s already so strong, it wouldn’t matter anymore...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riya was already capable of blasting demons and monsters to bits when she was just a mere A-ranker, and now that she’s become an S-ranker, her healing skills might be as lethal as Rio’s miasma in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sun is setting; you should head home now, kid. it’s quite late-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Rio could finish his words, Kifrid interjected,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I have thought about it! If you want to grant me a wish, then help my grandpa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandpa is an old man, but he’s been depressed because he can’t find his lost weapons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio was taken aback by that request and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is your old grandpa looking for weapons? Shouldn’t he be basking in the sun all day and enjoying retirement?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I am quite good at finding things, so perhaps I can help him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio does have a powerful skill to track down people or items. He can just pierce Kifrid’s grandpa with his sword and use soul manipulation to figure out where he lost his weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People usually find it hard to remember many things, but their souls and sea of consciousness never forget any incident in their life; by accessing those two things, it’s possible to read a person’s entire life story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio has experimented on quite a few voluntary test subjects to practice these skills, so he’s skilled enough to say that as long as the other person is an S-ranker or lower level, Rio can safely read their mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Let’s go then! I am sure Grandpa will be very happy! Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Kifrid sheathed his wooden toy sword and placed it beside his small waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he started walking towards his grandpa’s home, but his legs were too small and he was too slow, so Rio grabbed him and placed him on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio walked faster, and the nice wind breeze hit Kifrid’s face while riding on Rio’s shoulders, making him smile and laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whooo~ this is nice! I have decided! You are my friend from now on! You are my big bro Rio from now on! Hehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio rolled his eyes at those words and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t trust strangers too easily, kiddo. What if I was a bad guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kifrid giggled at Rio’s question and spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard the sweet tune you were playing! It was very nice; only someone who’s a good person can play it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio was a bit taken aback by that answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Err... this kid, he’s too naïve... well, he’s a little kid; he will mature as he grows up..’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While sighing to himself, Rio carried the little kid on his shoulders as they both made their way to a giant hilltop nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi oi, why is your grandpa living on a hilltop? How is he able to climb such a steep hill in his old age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kifrid giggled at Rio’s words and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s always complaining about his back pain, but he refuses to live with us! He’s always sitting in his gloomy small house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio could only sigh at those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the hill was quite far from the town, so Rio did not have to worry about anyone seeing him with Kifrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a human in this dwarf kingdom will make him stand out too much, and Rio didn’t want that; he was only helping Kifrid because he needed to pay off the debt he owed to this little kiddo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kifrid was highly talented, and Rio could intuitively feel that this kid might become a great figure in the future, so it was better to establish a friendly relationship beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandpa!! I am here~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Rio and Kifrid reached the small home, Kifrid shouted excitedly while Rio observed the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This seems like a forge or something? Is his grandpa a blacksmith or something?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a blacksmith, making weapons and artifacts, was a very popular and ancient profession of the dwarf people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you chose any random three dwarves, you would likely find at least one blacksmith, even today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Factories and industries can mass-produce weapons nowadays, but powerful weapons are still handcrafted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is what all dwarves pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them want to become master blacksmiths capable of crafting S-rank or even more powerful artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t feel any mana fluctuation or any change in the environmental phenomena... that means Kifrid’s grandpa is an ordinary person...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio took Kifrid to the front door, and Kifrid jumped down from his shoulders before kicking the door of the forge open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am here grandpa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kifrid’s grandpa was drinking beer while sitting on his worn-out chair placed near the small forge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! You are here, my adorable grandson! It’s been a while since I saw you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kifrid and his grandpa hugged each other to greet each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio also walked in at that time and Kifrid introduced him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my new friend! Big Bro Rio! You were saying that you had lost some items before; I brought him to find them! He said he’s good at finding things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Rio walked inside the forge, Kifrid’s grandpa also raised his eyes to look at Rio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if this moment was purposely planned by Fate itself; it was as if the entire world had come to a standstill in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kifrid’s grandpa’s eyes fell on the Rio flute hanging by his waist, and he almost jumped up from his chair in sheer shock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god!!! Is that ’Vinash’!? That’s ’Vinash,’ isn’t it!? How do you have that sword!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear and horror appeared on the old man’s face as he hurriedly hid Kifrid behind him in shock and disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha-what!? Why do you have that cursed weapon on you!? And who are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, you look familiar!! What’s your relation with that b*stard Kevin Flash!??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rio was just as shocked by the old man’s words, and he almost tripped due to the sheer shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected anyone to recognize his sword so easily, even though it was disguised as a normal steel flute.\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-05-30T11:25:47.001Z","2026-06-01T04:31:07.166Z",1,"novelbin.me","e2586d714b05713946e25d77b606a3038c69198218f89931c616b8a71907e45c","reborn-as-an-extra-chapter-532","reborn-as-an-extra-chapter-530",755,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-as-an-extra-cover.jpg"]
