Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Still retaining control over the barriers, I could enter the clearing without being noticed, as the two demons were so confident in their barriers that they were staring at the spirit.

Suspended in the air and floating in the middle was a foggy figure that even I couldn't discern with my eyes.

However, it was better than nothing, as all the demons could see with their normal eyes was just a bunch of fog gathered up that stretched from the floor to the roof.

But just looking at it... I could feel the presence of a mystical entity.

Just like how an A-rank gave up an imposing aura, this mystical entity emitted the same thing... but it wasn't damaging.

One could struggle even to move or stand up under the pressure of an A-rank's aura, but with this entity's aura, which was indisputably stronger than an A-rank, you had no physical effects.

In fact, it was quite calming. I felt a sense of serenity wrap around my brain, removing all the stress and worries clashing in my head.

With the Elven Queen fighting the majority of the demons someplace else, only two demons were stationed here, despite it being the most important point in the entire tree.

With Albert's insane bow skills, I was confident that the main cast could defeat these two demons quickly.

Below the foggy figure floating in the air were the two demons, one holding a cube-shaped device.

*THUD~THUD*

As the sound of the main cast and Albert's rapid footsteps finally made it into the clearing, the demons still showed no signs of life as they remained below the fog.

One of the demons held a cube-shaped device with a small hole on the top, emitting black smoke that flew upwards toward the fog.

As the black smoke slowly mixed with the cloud of fog in the middle of the room, my vision of the figure inside became less clear, and the pure white fog began to turn light grey.

They were corrupting not the physical World Tree but the spirit and manifestation of the World Tree.

Staring at the corrupted daggers in my hand, I wondered why they had only brought one cube-shaped device to corrupt the cube.

If they had brought about a hundred, the World Tree would have been gone by now!

Looking away from the figure inside the partially grey fog, I focused on the device in the demon's hand, perfectly capturing all its outward details.

Searching around the clearing, I finally found a vantage point to stand on before discreetly climbing onto a rough rock protruding from the walls.

Using the higher vantage point, I peered into the cube's inner portion using the hole on the top that was emitting the black smoke.

Using my eyes to memorize the exact details of the cube-shaped device, I stored the information in my head before shifting my gaze to the clearing's entrance.

*THUMP~THUMP*

As the main cast and Albert walked through the mana cage, which was now under my control, I stepped back into the shadows, dismissed my daggers, and manifested the same device the demons were holding.

Using the last of my corruption, I created a lid covering the top so the black smoke wouldn't leak out.

Since the device had so many intricate details and was so complicated, I had to use every single bit of my corruption to replicate it, so it worked perfectly.

Unfortunately... that left me with no weapons or corruption for my wings.

All I had was my mana in my chest, the blood-red substance flowing in my body, and my cat sitting in my hood!

Reaching into my jacket pocket, I felt the cold and fragile glass of the countless potions lined up, each filled with a dark blue substance.

All my preparation was really just finding a shit ton of mana potions...

What would Raven say when he saw our expenses for this month when I get back...?

All his hard work and time spent distributing scrolls, putting up advertisements, and hiring and interviewing people were used in a single day.

...Would he believe me if I said I was saving the world...?

He wouldn't... but Zeng probably would!

Letting out a final sigh as I imagined Raven trying to hand in his resignation papers, I made sure I was out of sight before watching Albert enter the clearing.

At the same time, the demons continued staring at the device on the ground with their backs turned away, still having complete faith in "their" mana cage.

Wasn't I just the best person?

I had set up the perfect sneak attack for them!

At this point, shouldn't I basically be a main cast member?

I sure as hell have done more for them than Zack! What does that guy even do besides provide emotional support!?

Wait, aren't I the entire main cast and protagonist at this point?

I'm the one saving the world, not Liam!

Me, Raven, Zeng, and the cat in my hoodie! We were the new and improved main cast!

A savior from another world, a money-hungry kid from the black market, a villain who became a good guy, and finally, a random ass cat that could be a god with time travel magic!

We even sounded like a real main cast from a magic book, didn't we!?

There was only one thing missing... none of us had good intentions.

My goal was to leave this world and return to mine, and the rest of the members just wanted money or were animals who just wanted food.

Unlike the pure-hearted Liam, the naive Lily, the humble Alya, and the good-natured Zach, who just wanted to save people and better the world with their actions.

... we were just a bunch of anti-heroes out for fame and glory, weren't we...?

Well, who cares about the journey there? It's only the end goal that matters.

Our groups were both saving the world, but my group was doing a lot better!

For now, that main cast spot was ours!

Scrapping those thoughts out of my head, I began unscrewing some of the mana potions in preparation while watching Albert nock his first arrow.
