A Guide for Background Characters to Survive in a Manga - Chapter 343 : Chapter 343

Chapter 343

The “Manga Consciousness” was a bit puzzled. “What are you trying to do? You can’t use your Ability right now.”

Hearing this, Su Bei’s lips curled up slightly. I looked at the Snow Woman’s feet and said meaningfully, “Who says you can’t help without an Ability?”

Because it knew the final outcome would be the same, the “Manga Consciousness” didn’t stop Su Bei. Instead, it watched him curiously, wanting to know what he was going to do.

Su Bei’s method was simple. I just took out another flying device to support my body, then held a corner of the magic carpet, and with a powerful flick, accurately threw the carpet under the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast’s feet.

Although it had been a while since I’d thrown a Gear, my touch was still there. Even with a much larger magic carpet, I could easily throw it to the right position.

The magic carpet slid under the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast’s feet and immediately flew up. The snow that had been continuously flowing from the snow mountain into the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast was quickly cut off due to the distance, and at the same time, the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast’s attacks immediately weakened by more than one level of intensity.

“As expected.” Su Bei curled his lips.

Just as I had guessed, the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast’s endless power indeed originated from the snow on the mountain. When the opponent was attacking earlier, I had noticed that the snow on the mountain seemed to be moving on its own without any wind, but because it was all a vast expanse of white, I couldn’t see it clearly. Now it seemed my judgment was correct; as long as I cut off the link between the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast and the snow mountain, it would lose most of its power.

Elvis’ trio was very smart. Although the current situation was a bit beyond their expectations, seeing the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast’s attack power suddenly weaken so much, combined with the action of the magic carpet, they quickly identified the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast’s weakness.

“Tiffany, lift it up!” Elvis immediately commanded. At the same time, the moment the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast jumped off the magic carpet, he reversed time, forcibly sending it back onto the carpet.

This delay dragged on until Tiffany found an anti-freeze item and got close to the Nightmare Beast. Seeing the Snow Woman lifted up, Su Bei immediately retrieved the magic carpet. This item was quite useful, and I didn’t want to leave it here.

While fighting the Snow Woman, Ian asked curiously, “Who is helping us? Can you show yourself? After the battle is over, please let us thank you in person.”

After waiting for a while, he thought for a moment and asked tentatively, “Are you the boy who ate with us the day before yesterday?”

His guess was quite accurate. Su Bei raised his eyebrows but didn’t make a sound.

Seeing that no one appeared or spoke, not even giving a hint, Ian immediately understood that Su Bei didn’t want to come out. He didn’t ask any more questions and focused on attacking the Nightmare Beast.

After successfully moving the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast away from the snow mountain, the Snow Woman, having lost most of its power, was no longer a match for the trio and was quickly defeated by their joint efforts.

However, just a second before the Nightmare Beast was about to die, it suddenly erupted with a strong black light. The entire Nightmare Beast exploded, turning into black snow that scattered down from the sky.

The next second, standing on the top of the snow mountain, one could see several snow mountains, including this one, suddenly start to avalanche. The snow on the mountains rushed down at an extremely fast speed, reaching halfway down the mountain in the blink of an eye, heading towards the city at the foot of the mountain.

“My god!” Ian’s eyes widened, his face full of panic. “What do we do? The residents at the foot of the mountain definitely can’t avoid it!”

Seeing this, Elvis immediately used his Ability to reverse time. Although his Ability couldn’t bring the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast back to life, it could temporarily revert the effects it caused back to the beginning.

This meant that he would need to continuously consume Mental Energy, repeatedly retracting the energy waves released by the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast, to keep the avalanche in a state of dynamic pause.

But this was obviously not a long-term solution, as Elvis’ Mental Energy was limited. His face was pale, with a miniature of a huge clock above him, and he sternly said, “Quick, call the Ability Government or the academy here!”

Ian nodded repeatedly while making the call. But just after dialing the number, he stuffed the phone into Tiffany’s hand and then quickly ran down the mountain himself. “You make the call. I remember there seems to be a broadcasting station over there. I’ll go get the residents to evacuate!”

The reason he didn’t ask Tiffany to go was that she wasn’t good at communicating with others. Also, if she was seen in her vampire form, it could easily cause a panic.

Reaching a suitable position, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot. This was one of his Ability’s skills; he could teleport to a certain extent within the [World in a Painting].

Su Bei continued to sit cross-legged on the summoned magic carpet and asked knowingly, “Are we about to enter the main plot now?”

The “Manga Consciousness” gave an affirmative answer. “Yes, people from the main character group will come over next. Do you want to say hello to them?”

“Of course not.” Su Bei refused without hesitation. “If I’m going offline, I might as well do it thoroughly. Besides, this part won’t be drawn in the manga, right?”

Since the Author’s design was for me to appear at the last moment, for the sake of the shock value then, they certainly wouldn’t let me appear before that. Anyway, it served no purpose, so less trouble was better than more. Su Bei chose not to see them this time. I had to avoid exposing myself outside as much as possible to prevent the enemy from discovering my tracks.

The subsequent plot was within Su Bei’s expectations. Because the North Pole was a remote place, and many people were busy right now, the mission was carried out by Jiang Tianming and the others, assisted by the teleportation master Lei Ze’en.

Only they could arrive at the North Pole in time. If it were anyone else, by the time they got there, it would be too late. No matter how much Elvis conserved his Mental Energy, he couldn’t hold on for several hours.

A group of people bustled about, cooperating with each other. This time, it was Ai Baozhu’s home ground. She relied on her [Gorgeous Domain] to hold back the avalanches of several mountains all by herself. That’s right, at the critical moment, she had successfully developed the ability to make her Ability run on multiple lines, creating a total of five [Gorgeous Domain]s simultaneously and placing them in different locations.

Su Bei had previously thought her improvement would be reflected in the strength of her defense, but unexpectedly, it was in the quantity of her defenses. Five [Gorgeous Domain]s, which could also be placed in different, far-apart locations, was indeed a good evolution.

However, the direction of the main character group’s Ability evolution these last two times had been in breadth. It seemed that what followed would indeed be a large-scale war involving everyone.

After controlling the avalanche and evacuating the public, the four people standing on the mountain top, overseeing the overall situation, began to talk about what happened before the avalanche. After all, at the time, things were urgent, and the person reporting, Tiffany, was not good with words, so they didn’t explain many things clearly.

Even the Ability Government only knew that a High-Level Nightmare Beast had caused a massive avalanche before its death, that Elvis’ trio had temporarily controlled the situation, and that they now needed reinforcements to be sent quickly.

Jiang Tianming and the others who were sent as reinforcements were even more confused. They were quite curious about how that Nightmare Beast had caused such a big avalanche. And with such a powerful ability, how did Elvis’ trio manage to defeat it?

The first question was easy to answer, but the second question——

“You’re saying that while you were fighting the Nightmare Beast, a magic carpet suddenly appeared and told you the Nightmare Beast’s weakness?” Ai Baozhu repeated Elvis’ words, her face full of disbelief. “Seriously?”

Elvis gave her a noble and cold glance. “Do we have any reason to lie?”

That was true, but this kind of thing sounded too absurd. Could it be that the North Pole also had a sweeping monk-type character who would suddenly help? Lan Subing silently complained in her heart.

She pulled back Ai Baozhu, who wanted to argue with Elvis, and said with some helplessness, “Then did you see where the magic carpet disappeared from?”

“Mid-air.” This time it was Tiffany who answered, clearly worried that the two would start arguing

Mid-air? It couldn’t possibly be a fairy godmother who came to help, right? Lan Subing was about to say something when she was suddenly pulled by Jiang Tianming.

She turned her head in confusion and saw Jiang Tianming giving her a strange look, signaling her not to ask anymore.

Although she didn’t understand why, Lan Subing was very obedient to her companions and decisively shut her mouth.

After they found an excuse to send Elvis and Tiffany down the mountain, Jiang Tianming finally spoke, “If I remember correctly, counting the time, Su Bei should have arrived in the North Pole as well.”

As soon as he said this, Lan Subing’s eyes widened. “You mean——”

This kind of behavior, appearing from mid-air to help others, really did seem like something Su Bei would do. Could Su Bei be here?

Jiang Tianming didn’t let her finish, nodding affirmatively. “I think it’s possible, but since he didn’t show himself just now, let’s not look for him.”

No one knew better than them how dangerous it was outside now. As an Ability user without an Ability, once Su Bei was discovered to be alive, he would definitely face immense danger.

“You’re right.” Lan Subing nodded in agreement. “But Elvis and the others probably don’t know yet. It seems Su Bei has no intention of revealing that he’s still alive.”

After all, Su Bei had spent a considerable amount of time alone with Elvis and the others just now. At that time, he was only willing to help while invisible, rather than actively showing himself after dealing with the Snow Woman Nightmare Beast. It was clear he didn’t want to show his face.

Although it was a bit wrong to say this, Lan Subing was indeed a little happy. Su Bei hadn’t hidden the fact that he was still alive from them; even his fake death had only begun after he had shown himself to them.

This should mean that they were very important to Su Bei, right?

Jiang Tianming coughed. “Then let’s not say anything either.”

However, what they didn’t know was that Su Bei was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, watching their conversation with great interest. I didn’t expect Jiang Tianming to be so sharp as to directly guess that it was me who helped. But obviously, they didn’t guess that I didn’t leave immediately after helping, but continued to watch the show here.

To be honest, if I didn’t want to show my face, I would have urged these two to leave quickly. Again, it’s really cold in mid-air in the North Pole, okay?
