DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

Davies watched the frigid penguin as it made its way toward the ice fortress in the distance, but he couldn't just follow it inside as he didn't know what was inside the fortress and it was too far away for his snow sense to sense anything. Since he was here to find information about the potential A-rank or above monster that was here in a B-rank he couldn't just barge in guns blazing like an idiot protagonist… not that he had any guns though.

[How do you plan to follow Skipper in there?] Miya asked him.

'I don't know yet, even though I can't sense anything from here, I'm willing to bet that that place is crawling with monsters,' Davies replied half halfheartedly, deep in thought.

[Since you can't sense anything, how can you know that the place is crawling with monsters?] she asked again.

'How big do you think the ice fortress is?' Davies replied with a question.

[It's huge, I guess]

'Huge enough to accommodate over five thousand monsters?' Davies said in a questioning tone.

[What makes you think you'll meet up to five thousand monsters in there?]

'Well, you don't exactly see the rest of the ten thousand monsters that we're supposed to kill roaming about here, do you?'

[Agh… how do you plan to enter then?]

'It seems I'll have to use that,' Davies replied as he watched the penguin move ever closer to the ice fortress.

[That???]

'One of the skills I've been developing,'

[Which one?]

'Elementalization,' Davies replied and began to spread his mana into every part of his body, fully saturating himself in his mana and then beginning to convert his mana-saturated flesh into ice. Davies's body began to turn as white as snow until he became a snowman.

'Unfortunately, this move is still incomplete, and it still has many limitations,' Davies thought as most of his concentration was focused on controlling his ice transformation.

He was right, this move was still limited in many ways. It limited his speed, and he couldn't fight in this form. Also, his defense in this ice state may seem good, but in reality, he can't afford to get any part of him blown to oblivion as he hadn't developed the skill until it reached the ice-healing state. He had gotten the inspiration for this skill from an anime where they ate tattooed fruits that tasted like horseshit, but his skill wasn't able to display half of the ability it should have.

'At least it should get me in there unseen,' he thought to himself as his body began to break into snow that hovered above the ground, looking like it was being swept around by the wind.

[Pretty neat trick] Miya commented as he turned into snow.

'Please keep your comments to yourself, I'm trying to concentrate here,' Davies replied irritably, as it was taking all of his concentration to just keep his new snow body from being blown away by the wind and dying before even beginning his story.

Davies finally managed to bring his snowy body under control… if it could even be called a body, at this point he was just a moving cloud of snow and icy dust.

Davies began to head down the cliff by carrying his icy form through the air by using his mana to keep himself afloat and with this technique he could pull off flying short distances. He began to follow the penguin again and soon they reached the ice fortress and were about to enter.

Davies stayed close to the snowy floor where nobody would be able to distinguish the difference between his snowy body and the snow on the ground. As they entered the fortress,

[Damn, you were right] Miya said with a sour tone, but you could still hear the surprise in her voice.

'How did we not sense anything?' Davies wondered as he looked at the monsters that filled up the area.

[I hate it when you're right] Miya grumbled, but Davies did not pay her any attention as he followed after the penguin that has started going towards the deeper area of the base.

Even as he followed the penguin through the base, the number of monsters didn't decrease and this was beginning to worry Davies because having this many monsters in one place was a very troublesome issue, especially for them as they had to fight and kill ten thousand monsters to be able to leave this gate, but Davies's thoughts didn't last long as they soon got to an extremely glamorous and beautiful door.

Even inside the ice fortress, where every living structure was made of ice, this door easily stood out. It was ginormous.

'Looks like a boss room,' Davies wondered as he looked at the big, beautifully carved ice door.

[Well duh]

[Maybe it's Superman behind the door] Miya replied to him.

'You're still on that, I told you he doesn't exi…' Davies began to explain but was cut off by the sound of the door grating heavily as it slowly began to be opened.

Davies quickly began to rise towards the ceiling of where he was hiding and began to follow the penguin into the room from the ceiling because the moment the door of the room began to slide open Davies sensed a powerful aura and quickly took action to avoid being detected, he came here to look for information after all, not to get into stupid fights.

Davies entered the room from the top of the door and quickly found a good position where he wouldn't be noticed by whatever or whoever was inside the room, only then did he look down,

'What the hell!!!' Davies's eyes widened and his mouth fell open.

Inside the room was a huge ice spike bear, a B-rank bear-like creature that stood at an average of 12ft and had a huge and strong body, along with dangerous ice spikes on his back and also at the back of his paws. It was a very strong monster, worthy enough to be the boss of a B-rank dungeon and even capable of giving Davies a hard time if he fought it, but that was not what caused Davies's eye wideness and opened mouth symptoms.

A figure sat on an icy throne in the corner of the room. Due to the shadows in that corner of the room, the figure's face was not visible, but he wore a tight blue spandex suit and had a red cape roiling down his back.

[Who was it that said Superman didn't exist in this world] Miya said with a laughing tone, happy that she had one-upped Davies this time.
