Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Time went back to when the battle had begun. Soma, who dashed forward and faced the mysterious robe person, arrived within each other's range. He thrust his fist forward, and his opponent blocked using the body of the black sword.

A loud 'clank' reverberated, but because of the momentum and the weakened state of the opponent, its body got blown away from the dragon's place.

Soma began to give chase as he dived down toward his memories, searching for the specific thing regarding the black blade that looked familiar to him.

The robed person spun in midair, trying to fix its stance. Once its feet had landed on the road, the momentum of the strike kept pushing it until it was a dozen meters away. Soma could see the robed person lowering its center of gravity.

'Let me see how long you can keep your identity a secret!'. He plans another strike, retracting his fist backward and shooting forward like a missile.

"Hm, how monotonous!".

From behind the hood, Soma could faintly hear a woman's voice as she ridiculed Soma for doing the same act twice. However, despite knowing she could dodge it, the woman held the sword hilt tightly before the two attacks collided.

Another loud 'clank' followed by a shockwave that shattered every mirror in the surrounding area. Because of those shockwaves, the hood fluttered and began to reveal the face hidden under it.

'As I thought!'. Soma's eyes opened wide for a brief moment before he kicked the ground in midair, launching himself to the left side of the woman and launching a kick that she barely blocked.

The woman's body got pushed to the side, but she managed to stop the impact several meters away.

"Superbia!". Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

As soon as that word escapes Soma's lips, the woman's deadpan expression shows a bit of twitch on her brow.

The woman called Superbia had an impressive figure; she was taller than Soma. Hidden behind the robe was her voluptuous body, wearing a white battle outfit adorned with gold.

Her straight and long platinum golden hair shone under the sun, and her face was among the top; even though she was his enemy, Soma admitted that Superbia was one of the most beautiful characters in the story. However, there was one more distinctive feature of the woman.

"Mere peasant dare to call my name without honorifics! Know your place!". Her silver-colored eyes radiate a cold that even makes hell freeze under them, coupled with her stiff expression. She is worthy of the name Superbia, the sins of Arrogance.

In a flash, her body disappears, and it appears within Soma's range. Even though she used a sword that had quite a range to launch an attack, she closed the distance. Instead of using the sword edge, she used the hilt, thrusting it toward Soma's lower jaw.

'Fast! But…'. Soma bent his head backward, dodging the attack. Then he took a step back to launch a counter, but Superbia had already predicted all of this.

Soma directed a left punch at Superbia's right ribs. She calmly dealt with it by swinging her sword so close. Because of the difference in range, Soma had to change his focus midway.

He saw the sword trajectory closing in his right neck. Under the pressure, he changed his attack pattern. Soma twisted his body angle and struck the body sword using his right hand.

*Clank!

Because of his awkward body position, Soma loses his balance and starts to fall down. In his field of vision, Soma sees Superbia's leg drawing near his face, and luckily, Soma can react in time, blocking the strike as his body gets blasted away.

Soma had to roll several times to kill the momentum, and he shot back up, fixing his stance. But the impact from earlier still had some effect, as his vision blurred for a second. He blinked but found Superbia standing right in front of him while her sword raised upward.

'Crap!'. Hurriedly, Soma had to wake up his slumbering senses because the opponent he was facing right now was a bit different from the other he had fought.

Superbia is one of the Demon Lord's seven subordinates who, along with the other two, survived the ancient war to this day. Her combat experience was nothing compared to anything the world could offer.

Even during the current fight, she had with Soma. She never used her aura and only utilized her superior combat sense to overwhelm Soma. The difference in experience had brought her toward the peak as the strongest Demon Lord subordinate.

From the outsider's view, Soma, who managed to dodge, deflect and even block Superbia's attack calmly, probably had a chance in this fight. But in truth, Soma is in a desperate situation. He is forcing his emotions down and using his two Extra Skills to their fullest potential, controlling him from the back of his consciousness.

Soma used his puppeteer skill to force his body to follow his instinct to survive the relentless attack and forced down his emotions to focus only on his opponent before him. As for his Adapt skill, Soma used it to get used to the tearing flesh and searing pain that assaulted his nerves because of him forcing his body to move unnaturally.

The relentless attack that keeps flooding Soma shows no sign of subsiding. From the corner of his sight, he found the timer of his Oni strengthening technique had almost reached its final stage. 'No good, I'm losing it'.

Slowly, Soma's consciousness darkened, inviting him to be submerged in an endless darkness that would embrace him in eternal comfort. However, in his desperate attempt to escape this predicament, a translucent panel appears.

A flash of platinum light burst forth from Soma's body, blinding Superbia's vision for a moment. Her intuition rang an alarm, prompting her to gain some distance from Soma. When she stared at the change within Soma, Superbia's eyes knitted in annoyance at feeling the familiar yet disturbing power coming from Soma.

"You bastard, not only do you dare to stand in front of 'this me,' and yet you dare to show that disgusting power before 'this me!' Despicable!".

From within Superbia's body, a tremendous gold aura mixed with a tint of miasma burst forth, enveloping the area surrounding her. The aura that came from her was noble, yet at the same time, there is a wicked vile mixed in it, indeed, a perfect fit to her name as someone who bears the sin of Arrogance.

Soma was aware of the change within the Superbia's atmosphere. He gulped his saliva, racking his brain to find a way to escape this predicament.

'What should I do? Her aura is radiating a dangerous level that my instinct skill for the first time telling me to flee… However, if I leave her here, she will become a potential threat that could wipe everyone out there'. Soma keeps searching for a method to help him hold back Superbia.

He looked toward his gauntlet and wondered if he must unleash his trump card. 'Tch, there is no reason to hesitate! I beg of you guys, please win! Because I couldn't help you after using this!'.

"Raiden Descend!".

The clear blue sky that kept witnessing the event that happened on the land turned gloomy because of the black clouds that suddenly gathered at a fast pace. The black clouds formed a spiral while also letting out rumbles that summoned a sign of calamities.

"Hmph, foolish attempt. No matter what method a peasant likes you to do. In front of absolute power, everything is meaningless!?".

As soon as Superbia said those words, her head jerked upward to see a thundering roar of brilliant flash from a crimson pillar shot down, and it bathed the worthless peasant. She could see the peasant's body suddenly change in appearance. 'What is…!?'.

Soma could feel himself brimming with overwhelmed power, an absolute power that came from another dimension. He could hear a clattering noise coming from his equipment, only to find it began to change.

His gauntlets and boots that were struck by the bolts expanded, and crimson scales began to cover all of Soma's body, turning the equipment into a full plate armor that fit his physique.

Then, the change within him stopped after the crimson scales covered Soma's half face, giving his sight freedom to see a full picture of his surroundings.

"Woah!". Soma was amazed by the change he had, and his voice was a bit hoarse because he was covered by the half-mask.
