Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Chapter 169:Ranking Up [5]
It seemed that Liam hadn’t completely lost his mind from my words as he opted to use one of the weaker attacks in his arsenal.

He was still trying to keep the carriage somewhat intact while hurting me at the same time.

Unfortunately, it didn’t matter what attack he used… because I knew all of them.

“Sky Plunge.”

An attack where Liam imbues his fist with divinity and then jumps in the air before barrelling downwards at the ground.

However, the real trick about this attack is that Liam is able to change locations right as he is about to reach the ground.

You could be in the perfect place to dodge his plunge, but in the next second, Liam would disappear and reappear right behind you with his fist hurling at you.

If it was your first time seeing Liam’s attack, the odds of you dodging it were close to zero.

Even for me, who knew the exact attack description and effects, it could be quite hard to dodge.

How could I predict where he would teleport to at the last moment to attack me?

Well, with my time-slowing ability, why would I even bother to try and predict?

Seeing Liam begin his descent, his light-blue fist hurling towards me already, I slowed my perception of time and waited.

Even though my perception of time was slowed, Liam was actually moving quite fast, so I couldn’t be too careless.

Keeping my eyes on Liam and ignoring the horrified and confused expressions of everyone else in the carriage, I patiently waited.

As Liam neared me, his figure suddenly disappeared, prompting me to swivel my head a full 360 degrees like an owl

Finding his new location, which was to the right, I immediately dodged to the right, watching Liam flying right past me

*BANG*

As Liam’s fist collided with the carriage floor, the entire carriage shook, throwing the sleeping Zach off his seat.

Standing back up and looking at the hole in the carriage floor that his fist had caused, Liam looked even more furious as sparks of fire began to dance in his normally passive eyes.

Cockily and slowly clapping my hands, I said to Liam’s back.

“Is that all?”

I needed Liam to get out all his anger right now, or the problem would continue to resurface and cause further problems in the main cast.

It was also quite entertaining watching him struggle while I seamlessly and easily dodged his attacks.

To Liam, I would probably seem like some oracle who could see the future and dodge his attacks easily, and he wouldn’t actually be too far off with that assumption.

Seeing Liam regain his composure and charge back at me, this time with a sword in his hand, I simply stood still.

“Ravage Rush”

A much stronger skill, and Liam was already preparing to use it.

Seeing his grip on his sword, which was placed slightly lower than usual, and the irregular style of running, I could already predict it.

Usually, Liam would charge right at me to take a one-on-one combat fight, yet right now, he was running at an angle.

As Liam’s sword approached me, I manifested two corrupted daggers before immediately activating the dragon’s transform.

As my right hand slowly shifted to that of a dragon, gaining scales, claws, and an abnormal red and green color, I readied the two daggers.

Finally reaching me after many unnecessary detours, Liam swung his light-blue sword, prompting me to raise my daggers.

Calculating the trajectory of the sword in my eyes, I raised my daggers before immediately turning my head around, not bothering to watch and see if my daggers actually blocked his sword.

As the cold steel of Liam’s sword clashed against my daggers, pushing me back, I simply let myself fall back.

The next second, the pressure exerted on my daggers disappeared.

Not skipping a beat, I turned around completely, placing the daggers right below my chin.

Then, the next moment, before I could even see Liam with my eyes, his sword seemed to manifest from the air and immediately slash down on me.

Ready for the sudden attack, I didn’t hesitate to block it, forming an “X” with my two daggers to block the full force of the sword.

Again, as the metal of his sword collided with my daggers, I immediately removed my daggers.

Like clockwork, Liam’s sword emerged from the air on the other side of me, striking right at me.

*CLASH*

*CLASH*

In the carriage, only the sound of my daggers blocking his constant and relentless sword strikes remained.

Every time my corruption interacted with his divinity, a bright light would appear, blinding everyone besides Liam and me, who already knew to look away.

*CLASH*

*CLASH*

Blocking another slash, I immediately turned around, seeing Liam’s sword appear out of the empty air to my right.

*CLASH*

*CLASH*

Strike after strike.

Block after block.

We were at a stalemate.

At least, that’s what Liam thought.

As Liam continued slashing at me with his sword, and I kept blocking with my daggers, I was slowly memorizing the pattern of his attacks.

Unlike his Sky Plunge, where he could choose where he reappeared, the Ravage Rush had a predetermined pattern of moving that Liam could not alter.

Ah, it takes me back… doesn’t it?

The countless hours I spent in the training hall, fighting AI dummies and slowly but surely memorizing their attack pattern, were finally coming to fruition.

Seeing Liam’s slashes remain their high speed and high power even after so long, I smiled.

After all, his talent was his inability to give up and his persistence.

In other words, he essentially had infinite energy.

That’s why, instead of just giving up on the Ravage Rush and choosing another ability, he kept using it.

He was hoping that I would get tired and miss a block, handing him the win.

To think, the talent that made him the protagonist of this world was actually slowly leading him to his downfall.

He was just giving more and more time to memorize the pattern.

*CLASH*
