Chapter 31 CHAPTER 31: CAMP
Tisha releases her power of telekinesis from Davies's body as they reached the floor.
"Sorry…" she tries to apologize even though she doesn't understand why he's so angry, but Davies simply ignored her apology and began to move in the direction of the rest of the camp. Even though Tisha's apology was rejected she also followed after Davies towards the rest of her companions.
**Back at the camp of the B-Squad**
"Thorny shield!"
Anthony's golden shield suddenly had spikes growing on its surface and he charged at a group of monsters and pushed them back continuously, injuring them lightly in the process, then he stopped and used his strength to push them away from him, allowing Sakura and Jack to attack the monsters,
"Whisper of the ripper," Jack used his skill to appear behind some of the monsters and stabbed them from behind and then quickly got out of the way of Sakura's attack.
"Cursed Crescent," Sakura threw a flying slash of cursed energy at the monsters, killing them immediately.
A little distance away from them, Jonas dashed around, killing monsters before they could even react and leaving trails of blue sparks all over the place,
"Bolt," he muttered and his speed increased as he ran even faster and tore through the ice wolves, snow lizards, and yukionnas that were arrayed in front of him.
"Wind scythe," Teresa swung her staff and sent a compressed scythe of wind at a group of snow lizards, quickly killing them.
"That's the last of them," Anthony said as his sharp blade shot out of the end of his shield and he stabbed it into the throat of an ice wolf watching it as its blood splayed everywhere, its eyes grew dim and devoid of life and then it fell to the ground spasming until it grew unresponsive after succumbing to the cold hands of Hades.
They all let out a sigh of relief and tiredness as they sat down to rest. Arnim quickly began moving around to heal their injuries.
"Where do you think Tisha and the boss went?" Teresa wondered out loud as she found somewhere unstained by blood to sit.
"Boss…? Why do you call him that?" Anthony asked as Arnim healed his injuries.
"Well, he is our boss, isn't he?" Teresa replied.
"Is he?" Anthony asked again in a disbelieving tone.
"Urgh… how many times do we have to explain it to you?" Sakura groaned at Anthony's dumb question.
"He owns Imperium Technologies and by extension, the Imperium League… so yes, he is our boss," Jonas explained, slightly panting as he sat down beside Anthony and Arnim as he also needed to be treated for his few injuries.
"..."
"Haha, you're such a muscle-head," Jack laughed as he sat beside Sakura.
"It should be pretty obvious that someone who can get the league to listen to his orders at any time like that is obviously our boss," Jack continued.
"We're pretty lucky that he's with us in this gate," Teresa added.
"What lucky? We can easily complete this mission gate!" Anthony disagreed with Teresa's statement.
"Says the guy that is huffing and puffing after killing a few hundred monsters," Teresa said with a mocking laugh.
"Most of them weren't even B-rank monsters," Sakura added with a laugh.
"As much as I hate to admit it… he is very powerful," Jonas sighed as he remembered Davies's killing of three hundred and seventy monsters in one attack without breaking a sweat.
'If it's him… I can…' he thought.
"Annoying fact, but it's true," Jack also said with a sigh.
"Arghhhh… but he's so infuriating," Anthony groaned causing his teammates to have a bout of laughter.
As they laughed, they suddenly heard the sounds of footsteps coming their way in the snow.
*Crunch* *Crunch*
They sprang up to their feet, wary of the footsteps and worried if it was another group of monsters, but instead, Davies's silhouette came into their view with Tisha trailing after him.
*Pheew*
They heaved a collective sigh of relief when they realized that they didn't have to bother with fighting again and were about to sink back into their seats when Davies spoke,
"Let's go," he said as he stopped.
"Huh???" they almost couldn't believe their eyes at his bluntness. He hadn't commended them or even told them where he went or anything of the sort and he was already giving orders.
"We obviously can't stay in a place reeking of blood that will only end up attracting more monsters," Davies said with a raised eyebrow.
Annoyingly, he was right and because of that, they couldn't protest against his decision.
'What a slave driver!' they all thought collectively as they were all tired after their constant battles and movement and they hadn't yet managed to have any rest.
"Urrghhhhhhhhh!" They groaned in annoyance, but Davies didn't bother with how they felt or how tired they were as he was already walking away.
They groaned again, even louder, and began to follow him. Tisha went to Teresa and walked together with her and they began to have a conversation in hushed tones, though it was mostly Teresa doing the talking as she noticed that Tisha seemed down.
As they left their former camp, they didn't notice that their footsteps were being erased as they walked further into the snowy forest. It was Davies that was erasing their footsteps and also at the same time, moving the snow around in a way that would cover their scent and make them untraceable. He wasn't stupid enough to leave obvious evidence of the direction they went in if he was trying to hide away from the monsters… and Khal Ed, if he ended up coming after him.
After walking for about 45 minutes, they reached another clearing and Davies decided that this was the best place to set up camp, as even he was tired, but he'd never admit that out loud.
"Let's stay here," he said and it sounded like music to the ears of the B-Squad as they were almost ready to just fall on the snow and sleep.
He created a 3-story building from the ice as he thought,
'If monsters can live in a castle, why should this handsome brother live in an igloo,' he thought narcissistically as he built the building with ice and even made sure to put in details.
After the building was completed the jaws of the B-Squad dropped as they looked at the ice building,
'So he could create something like this before?' they thought with their mouths opened wide.
"What are you waiting for? Get in," Davies said to them and walked inside the ice house.
