Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Chapter 221: Chapter 221:Closing In [5]

With his sword resting in his scabbard, which was dangling from his waist and almost touching the ground, Liam raised his hand.

Taking a step forward, Liam distanced himself from the rest of the main cast before turning around to face them.

Lily may have been the strategist and plan maker with her extensive knowledge... but on the battlefield, Liam was the undisputed leader.

Even Kevin had learned to accept it... although he did still occasionally challenge LIam for a spar to claim the spot of leader.

Slowly unsheathing his sword, LIam weighed the broadsword he had obtained from an early chest in his hands.

In contrast to the weapons held by Zach, Kevin, and Alya, Liam's was by far the worst as the metal had already started to rust.

The hilt's material was rough, causing bumps to appear on Liam's hands as he tightened his grip around the sword.

On the other hand, Kevin's broadsword seemed to be almost brand new, and it even had a basic ability known as a firewall.

Every minute, Kevin could swing his sword, creating a wall of flames that separated him from his opponents.

Zach's battle axe also had an ability known as "rage," where Kevin's strength stat would increase by two sub-ranks for a minute when he used it.

Alya's rapier had a similar ability to Zach, but instead of increasing her strength, the rapier would increase Alya's speed by two-substations for a minute.

Combined with the fact that the weight of a rapier was significantly less than a broadsword and battle axe, Alya was by far the fastest in the group, living up to her mother's title as the fastest being in the entire world.

Even the wands held by Ruby, Lily, and Irene had some special abilities, such as reduced mana consumption or increased output of certain elemental spells.

In comparison, Liam's sword was just a plain, regular old iron sword with no abilities or special quirks.

That was because it did not matter what sword Liam used.

The true power was vested not in the sword, a vessel of power, but in Liam himself.

Raising his sword upward, Liam allowed it to shine as the orange sky seemed to beam down on it and only it.

The next second, Liam's sword was no longer visible.

Then, before anyone could react, Liam's sword burst into flames before they eventually descended.

The rusty, old iron sword Liam's had quite literally transformed.

All that could be seen was the bumpy hilt of the sword, and above that, a divine blue color formed around the blade, preventing the rusty sword from being seen.

While everyone else had been massively nerfed, losing the main weapons that they centered their battle style around, Liam had almost been buffed.

Staring at the descending sun above, Liam started to rush as he pointed his sword forward before breaking out into a sprint.

Using his movement ability, gliding steps, Liam appeared to run on the air, increasing his pace even further.

Behind him, Kevin, Alya, and Zach swiftly followed, barely keeping up with Liam, while the wand users stayed a bit farther back.

As a looming tower came into sight, Lily screamed out from behind the pack.

"THEY SHOULD BE HERE."

After capturing a student who was attempting to run to the center to meet up with the alliance, Lily discovered a major change from the book.

There was now a leader of the alliance.

The prince, Bertus, had opted to compete in the battle royale instead of bowing out like in the book.

In other words, the main cast couldn't simply walk around, waiting for the alliance to fall apart as arguments ensued.

With a leader, the alliance was now an entity capable of rivaling the main cast if they used their large numbers to their advantage and worked as a team.

Staring at a map in her hands that she obtained from using her compass to track Bertus, Liam screamed out.

"FIRE!"

In unison, three beams of light appeared from behind Liam, from the wands of each of the girls.

The first beam, colored an ocean blue, shot forward faster than the pace at which was Liam was moving

*BANG*

The top of the water beam was a light orange due to the sky above while the bottom remained a dark-blue, creating an interesting mix of colors.

The two colors, in harmony, charged forward, advancing nearer and nearer to the looming tower in the distance

Like a bullet going through a person, the ocean blue pierced the massive tower, creating a massive hole.

Acting like it was nothing, the beam continued forward and forward, not allowing anything to slow its pace.

In contrast, two red beams, one light-red and one dark-red, appeared from the sides of the ocean-blue beam.

However, these beams did not pierce the tower.

Just as the two beams were about to hit the tower, Ruby and Irene suddenly jumped to the right, causing the beams to curve around the tower.

In between the ocean-blue beam was light-red beam was Liam with his light-blue sword, and between the ocean-blue beam and dark-red beam on the other side was Zach, Alya, and Kevin.

Fully trusting in his teamate's control over the beams, Liam charged forward, ignoring the fact that if the any of the beams slightly moved, he would be eliminate from loss of health.

As the Liam, Alya, Kevin, and Zach reached the tower, the beams disappeared, revealing the horde of students on other side.

Their formation was a mess from the beams, and utter chaos was ensuing due to the massive amount of eliminations caused by the magic beams.

Wasting no time, Liam gestured for his teammates to move forward while he stayed back at the tower.

Finally, after a couple of seconds, Liam spotted his target.

Hidden amongst the horde of students was a particularly student with a crown sitting on his golden-blonde hair.

Noticing Liam's penetrating gaze, the student turned around, making eye contact with his light-blue eyes.
