Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Her long, elegant white hair cascaded down to her waist and stayed perfectly still as Liana moved upwards, as there was no wind or breeze in this space to move it.

Going up the last step, the entire space around us was plunged into darkness as there were no more streetlights to illuminate our path ahead.

Yet... I could still see Liana walking next to me.

The only thing I could see in this world of darkness was Liana\'s purple eyes.

Her shining amethyst-colored eyes seemed to be floating in the air, as her entire body was invisible due to the darkness.

Even with my enhanced eyesight from the dragon\'s eye, I couldn\'t peer through the darkness as some sort of invisible force was blocking my eyesight.

It was the first time I had been blind.

Ignoring the sense of anxiety that enveloped me as I strode further into the darkness, I continued walking forward with a pair of purple eyes by my side.

As we continued wandering further and further into the neverending abyss of darkness, my surroundings became increasingly visible.

Not because of any streetlights but because Liana\'s amethyst eyes were glowing brighter and brighter as we approached the hut as if responding to it.

As Liana\'s purple eyes started to illuminate the area around us, the trees and grass outside the path also turned purple, and the entire world around me seemed to bathe in the light of her eyes.

Finally reaching the hut, Liana hesitated before the hut door for a second, so I said.

"It\'s not too late to stop now."

Shaking her head, Liana replied.

"No, it\'s not that."

"Aren\'t you the one who told me to do what I wanted and ignore what others would think?"

Placing her hand on the doorknob, Liana replied.

"This is what I want to do, though."

As she twisted the doorknob, I asked.

"So, then, what were you thinking about?"

Pulling back the door, Liana stepped into the hut without taking any precautions and replied.

"I\'m just thinking how my people... and my family would react to the news."

"You\'re about to die and turn into a spirit basically, but you\'ll still be thinking about everyone but yourself."

Strolling into the small hut behind Liana, I saw that it was basically a replica of the Elven huts that the academy students and I had slept in.

Though there was only one floor, the layout was practically the same: two beds were on each side of the hut, and a couch was on the back wall.

The only difference was what was lying in the middle of the hut.

Instead of some desks, there was a large circle, with coordinates plotted on the outside and intricate symbols in the middle.

In the center of the circle, there was a symbol of a diamond surrounded by a rectangle, and that rectangle was surrounded by countless triangles on every side.

The tip of each triangle almost reached the outer circle, and inside each triangle was the symbol of the moon.

To top it all off, inside the diamond at the very center of the circle, there was a large tree resembling the ones we had seen on our way here.

Kneeling down on the floor and touching the outside of the circle, Liana finally answered my question... with another one.

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Making sure not to walk through the magic circle, I walked around the room until I finally reached the couch against the back wall.

"I mean, it\'s your choice, so I don\'t see anything wrong with it. But as a living being, wanting to survive\'s in your nature."

"And, what exactly are you trying to say."

Looking up to the roof, where a large window was, I stared into the black abyss above us and responded.

"You\'re not being honest, but then again, that\'s not a problem; after all, I haven\'t been completely honest either."

Walking into the center of the circle where the diamond lay, Liana placed her hand above it, allowing electric sparks to fall.

However, the sparks did not fully fill the diamond as they left the symbol of the tree untouched.

Although I hadn\'t recognized this fairy-tale-type space due to its location, which is different from where the main cast and Albert arrived, I knew of this ritual.

So, I wasn\'t surprised or confused to see Liana walk slowly around the circle, allowing lightning sparks to fall on specific locations. However, to the outside eye, the locations weren\'t connected.

In the original story, the queen wasn\'t even involved, so instead of pure lightning, Albert used ice crystals.

After going around the circle once, Liana summoned a lightning spirit and made it hover above the circle\'s center.

Sighing, Liana finally turned to me and replied.

"You really think I want to have a child tell me off before I permanently turn into a spirit?"

Sitting down on the couch, I responded.

"I was just repaying the favor. You gave me some thoughts, and I gave you some thoughts."

Standing up from the floor, Liana intently stared at the circle while replying.

"Really, is that all?"

"I like to repay all of my debts."

Chuckling at my answer, Liana looked up from the circle and gestured to me, so I reluctantly stood up from the couch and headed to her.

Stopping next to her, I already knew what to do, so I manifested the corrupting device made by the demons and handed it to her.

After standing there shocked for a second, Liana took the device out of my hands and fiddled with it before asking.

"So, you knew from the start?"

"Only halfway through."

Walking over the sparks of lightning, Liana released the lid from the device and placed it right inside the symbol of the tree and below the lightning spirit.

"Well, this is a lot easier now that I don\'t have to explain anything to you."
