Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain - Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Chapter 239:Winnable [4]
Letting a grin creep onto her face, Ruby allowed the tip of her wand to burst into flames.

Then, instead of simply casting the spell, Ruby threw her wand with the burning tip at the explosives as if using a match to start a fire.

*RUMBLE*

*RUMBLE*

*RUMBLE*

As the explosives began to ignite, the entire magic space, both above and underground, began to quake and shudder.

Han and Jin, thinking this was probably one part of Ren’s crazy schemes, accepted their fates and… sat down?

The two boys simply sat down criss-cross before staring upward at the sky through the massive hole in the ground created by their fight with Alya, Lily, and Zach.

Leaning backward, Jin stared at Han before eventually saying.

“You know… when I said I wanted to win, I didn’t think there was a chance of it actually happening.”

Sighing, Han leaned back as well, allowing his sore muscles to relax.

“Don’t you ever learn? Anything is possible with that idiot…”

Shaking his head, Jin chuckled before replying.

“Still…wasn’t it fun to fight and plan together? We should get into fights like this more often!”

“…”

Ignoring Jin’s comment, Han simply shook his head, grinning while staring at the pitch-black sky above.

Lily, staring at the two boys sitting on the ground and feeling the constant tremors, also sighed before looking up.

Alya, perhaps also realizing that escape was impossible, did the same… while Zach sat down crisscrossed on the floor as well.

Back on the surface, Liam, feeling the ground quaking and shuddering below him, immediately suspected something was off.

Although he couldn’t see what was exactly happening below the ground, he knew that Lily, Alya, and Zach were engaged in a fight down there.

Catching his breath for a second, Liam was about to head underground, and the floor below him suddenly quaked.

Not just a normal quake… the ground quite literally split up into two, creating a gigantic chasm in the middle of the magic space.

The chasm, stretching from one boundary of the magic to the other, opened up, allowing Liam to see what was happening below.

Seeing Lily staring upwards, Liam was about to ask how things were going when Lily started frantically waving at him.

Pointing into the distance, Lily rapidly gestured to move before yelling.

“GET OUT OF HERE! IT’S GOING TO EXPLODE!”

Liam, not wasting a second, attempted to move… but when he commanded his leg to move forward… it stayed still.

“…huh?”

After a moment, Liam realized that his body… was completely paralyzed.

No matter how he tried or told his brain, his body didn’t budge a single inch.

Was it his nerves?

No…he had been in plenty of near-death situations before… but his body had never frozen up like this before.

What was the difference between here and before then…?

Ren.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

As the ground shook more violently and the chasm burst into a cacophony of sounds that pierced Liam’s ear, Liam began more frantic.

Shivering at the explosions… that vaguely seemed like fireworks that were now flying out of the chasm, Liam once again commanded his body to move.

However… it actually moved?

Not expecting anything to happen as it had been a second since he last tried, Liam awkwardly took a step.

But… before he could take another step, a gigantic firework had flown right out of the chasm and was now right before him.

“Ren, that son of a b-”

Back in the recruiter’s room, the entire room was filled with excitement as they watched the fireworks show take place from the best perspective.

Since the drone was above the chasm, it caught every single firework that flew out of the chasm.

Almost all of them didn’t even hit anyone… but nonetheless, the massive fires and explosions that happened when they hit the ground sent waves of excitement through the recruiters who were watching.

Kazuki and Kaneki were eagerly staring at the bottom of the chasm, seeing who would survive out of Han, Jin, Lily, Alya, and Zach.

However…surprising all of them, the first elimination was someone else.

*STUDENT RUBY (Scarlett) HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*STUDENT RUBY (Scarlett) HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*THERE ARE SEVEN STUDENTS REMAINING!*

Having not seen this Ruby character on screen for over ten minutes, the recruiters had practically all forgotten about her.

Paying no attention to Ruby’s elimination announcement, everyone eagerly watched the bottom of the chasm.

Fireworks were blasting and bouncing off the walls of chasms randomly, and each time a firework hit the ground, it exploded, causing a bout of fire and smoke to appear.

And despite all of this… two figures continued sitting, while leaning back and ignoring the chaos unfolding around them.

Jin, scratching his hair, sighed as a firework whizzed right by him.

“Shouldn’t we do something, Han?”

Han laid back on the ground with his eyes closed, covering his ears before emotionlessly replying.

“With the amount of fireworks around us, attempting to dodge would only be useless.

“So… we’re just sitting down and waiting for them to eventually hit us?”

“I guess s-”

“AH”

On the opposite of the cavern, Lily and Alya, who had been grouped up together, were suddenly hit by a firework.

In the next second, two fireworks hit Han and Jin, causing their health to drop rapidly.

And finally… Zach was left unharmed.

Leaning against the wall, Zach stared, his eyes full of pity, as his teammates were about to lose all of their health.

Remembering that they had decided Liam would be the winner, Zach smiled before… eliminating himself.

Above ground, Liam, spreading his arms, simply stared at the firework with his mouth open.

A couple of seconds later, Liam was nowhere to be seen as the firework one-tapped him since Ren’s dagger strike earlier had also taken Liam’s health while paralyzing him.

Only a couple of seconds later, the underground was also empty, as fireworks aimlessly bounced around the wall.. but there were no humans to be hit.
