Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

"Alright, let's get a move on, guys."

Getting up from the ground, I leaned against the tower and glanced at the map that was in Han's hands.

Thankfully, besides a couple of people I saw while peering through the forest who had just passed by us, there was no one in the vicinity.

However, that would soon change.

The magic space had already been reduced by fifty percent of its original size, so the alliance would begin their hunt now.

Assuming they had a brain, they would most likely attempt to create a wall or blockade of humans that stopped the main cast from progressing toward the center.

This would make the main cast slowly lose health to the closing boundaries as they would be unable to move forward.

However, since we were technically not a part of the alliance, Han, Jin, and I were also in danger of being trapped in the very same way.

Staring upward, I stifled a chuckle as the two drones from earlier had finally disappeared.

I'd have to ask Charlotte later if she was entertained watching me rest in the shade for over an hour.

Staring up at the sky, I saw that the color had changed from a light blue to an orange as the sun began to set.

Time in the magic space flowed by much slower than in the outside world, so I wasn't losing any time to plan.

Signaling for Han and Jin to get up, I grouped up with them before pointing at the map and saying.

"We have to find a place to hide until the top ten."

Although I knew of the tower from the book, I had forgotten basically every other important place, so I now had to rely on the map like a normal person.

As the three of us scanned each inch of the map meticulously, Jin suddenly looked away from the map at the ground, confusing all three of us.

Han, worried at the incoming barriers, angrily looked at Jin and said.

"Take this seriously, man. Our futures are on the on the line."

Ignoring Han's words, Jin leaned down before placing a hand on the ground, crushing the grass under.

Finally responding, Jin simply looked up at us and said.

"What if we don't hide on the map?"

Ignoring Han's irritated expression, I curiously looked down at Jin and asked.

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

Grabbing his scabbard, Jin gracefully removed his odachi before holding it high in the air, allowing the sun to reflect off its cold, clean metal surface.

Blinded by the sunlight reflecting off the odachi, I covered my eyes before carefully watching Jin's next movements.

In a swift and graceful motion, Jin flipped his odachi so that its tip was facing the ground.

Then, the next moment, Jin plunged the odachi into the ground so that only the hilt was visible, while the rest of the sword was embedded in the ground.

Han and I, curious, watched as Jin removed the sword before repeating the same actions over and over again like a miner searching for gold.

Finally stopping, Jin removed his odachi one last time before shaking all the dirt off it, returning it to its earlier and cleaner condition.

Staring at the countless holes formed in the ground, Jin leaned down and examined each of them carefully before standing back up.

Then, gesturing at the holes in the ground, Jin put his odachi back in his scabbard before cheerfully exclaiming.

"What if we hide underground? I just checked, there's nothing stopping us from doing it!"

...really?

Temporarily stunned, I leaned downwards and confirmed that there was, indeed, nothing stopping us from heading underground.

...was the a loophole in the plot of the story?

Had the author really made no restrictions against this?

Looking at Han, I saw him shrug his shoulders before hesitantly replying.

"...he might just be onto something with this one."

Thus, for the next thirty minutes, the three of them used their power magical artifacts that were coveted by everyone in the world for their combat power... to stab at the dirt.

Realizing that we wouldn't make a big enough hole to fit us before the border closed in on this at this point, I manifested three shovels with corruption.

Shrugging my shoulders, I handed the shovels to Han and Jin, who thankfully accepted them without any questions or complaints.

Finally, after about twenty more minutes, there was a large hole in the ground, big enough to fit all three of us.

The creator of this plan, Jin, was the first to jump into the hole, and upon seeing him unharmed or not losing health, the rest of us followed.

Landing on the cold, dirt floor, I looked around and touched the walls, confirming everything was stable.

After that, I turned back to Jin.

"Well, guys... it's time to go tunneling!"

"...but making this hole already took sooooo long!"

"Do we have too...?

Hearing a groan come from Jin and Han, I immediately said.

"Yo Jin, this was your idea. Why the hell are you complaining!?"

As Jin continued to sigh and began digging toward the center of the magic space, using the map and corrupted shovel, Han asked.

"...why don't we just make the hole closer to the center and start tunneling from there? We'll save a lot of time."

Pointing at the tower above, which was still visible through the hole we made in the ground, I replied.

"Trust me...this tunnel will be useful in the future."

Accepting my vague explanation, Han picked up my corrupted shovel before heading to Jin and helping create the tunnel toward the center of the magic space.

On the other hand, I grabbed my own shovel and began filling in the hole in the ground, making the tunnel no longer visible from the surface.

As the sunlight slowly disappeared from my filling in the hole, Han grabbed an arrow from his quiver and placed it on the wall.
