Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Chapter 128:Stranded [2]
*BAM*

Interrupting me mid-sentence, the stationary carriage somehow flipped over, sending everyone flying downwards to the floor.

This time, I was prepared for more sudden shakes, so I raised my hand to my eyes, instantly slowing my perception of time.

Using the well of corruption inside me, I magnified six tentacles that all appeared on my back before soaring upwards at an incredible speed.

Catching me mid-fall, the tentacles plunged into the hardwood of the carriage roof, suspending me in the air.

Creating multiple holes in the roof, the corrupted tentacles pierced right through the roof of the carriage.

Controlling the tentacles while unstable hovering in the air, I attached them from the roof and made them plunge downwards at a slower speed.

All five tentacles moved in different directions: two went to my right, two to my left, one to the back of the carriage, and one to the front.

As both the tentacles and I plunged towards the ground, I sent the tentacles downwards at an even faster speed until they finally made contact with the ground.

As the tentacles dug straight through the grass and dirt of the ground, my body was finally stabilized in the air, hovering a couple feet above the carriage’s floor.

Like a spider, I had six legs or tentacles, in this case, holding me up. Each one flew right out of my back, out of the hole in the carriage roof, and down into the ground.

From an outside perspective, it would seriously look like there was a massive spider inside of the carriage.

Suspending in the air and looking downwards, I also saw Ruby falling straight at the hard ground, so I manifested yet another tentacle, this time appearing above my shoulder.

In a swift and fluid motion, the tentacle pierced through the air and wrapped around Ruby’s body right before she hit the floor.

With the tentacles now carrying Ruby’s additional weight, I infused more corruption into the six tentacles, causing them to grow longer and dig further into the ground.

As the tentacles pierced right through the stone below the ground like a knife cutting butter, I finally stabilized both Ruby and me.

“AHHH”

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS”

“KEVIN, WHAT THE H-”

“I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING; STOP PROJECTING.”

As the carriage completely flipped over and loud screams could be heard from further inside the carriage, Ruby and I were the only ones to remain unharmed as my tentacles held us up the entire time.

Feeling the carriage stop shaking and become motionless again, I dismissed the tentacles, causing both Ruby and I to fall to the ground.

Landing on my feet, I saw Ruby gently descend to the floor and land on her back with a confused expression.

…I guess you really can learn from your former enemies.

This whole spider tentacle thing had been a spontaneous decision inspired by my first-ever battle with the djinn in the mirror room.

The horror I felt when seeing the tentacles for the first time transformed, as now I felt like Spider-Man when I used them myself.

How much have I changed since that first incident..?

Quite a bit… I guess.

Still, recalling how the tentacles effortlessly pierced through both Liam and Irene’s bodies, a sense of horror still remained.

Could I do that…? Did I want to do that?

As the sun shone through the hole in the carriage room from my tentacles, Ruby covered her eyes and asked.

“Do I even want to know at this point?”

Offering her my hand with a smile, I replied.

“I learned a couple of new tricks.”

As she overlapped her hand with mine and gently applied pressure to my palm to stand up, I felt the same sense of warmth from earlier.

Why was it so comfortable… so natural?

In that fleeting moment where our hands were joined together, it felt like time stopped…and not literally.

All my worries and thoughts about our current unknown sensation faded away, being overpowering a sensation of relaxation and warmth.

Who cared if we were stranded and lost in the middle of a forest…? Who cared if we were about to die?

The soft sensation of her hand pressing against mine seemed to overpower my mind, calming down my brain, which was moving at the speed of light, trying to figure out our current situation.

At that moment, there were no negative thoughts or worries inside my head.

Only positive memories and thoughts flooded my head, causing a small and awkward smile to subconsciously appear on my face.

If only this moment could last forever…it felt so comfortable and calming…

However, that was just a dream.

As Ruby stood up and removed her hand from mine, my mind quickly returned to internal chaos as I tried to make sense of our current situation.

How had our carriage been teleported over 10,000 meters away from our intended location…?

Interrupting my thoughts, I saw Lily and Alya appear as they entered the driver’s part of the carriage with Ruby and I.

Behind her, I could see the carriage in shambles. The chairs were all flipped over, and the floor had dents from things falling, and there were dust clouds everywhere.

On the other hand, the driver’s compartment was in slightly better condition as I had partially stabilized it with my tentacles.

Ignoring the destroyed carriage behind her, Lily looked right at me and asked.

“Are you ready to talk now?”

“PFFT”

As Ruby broke into laughter at Lily’s words, I sighed before saying the same exact thing.

“Like I said, the driver wasn’t here when I woke up.”

Pointing out of the window, I continued.

“Look, do you know where we are?”

Glancing out the window, Alya, who had some territorial knowledge as she was the second successor to the Elven throne, muttered.

“T-that’s the Hajin m-mountain range.”

“..?”

Responding to Lily’s confusion, Alya continued.

“I-it’s the barrier between the human and demon realm… which is over ten thousand miles away from where we are supposed to be.”
