DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

"They're here," Davies muttered as he immediately rose from his ice hammock and jumped to the ground, surprising the B-Squad as he had just gotten on the hammock hardly a minute ago.

"Well… If you have an appointment with Hades that you must keep, keep laying down,"

"But if you still have plans to stay in the land of the living, then get off your asses, we've got monsters incoming…"

"... a lot of them," he told the B-Squad

Every member of the B-Squad groaned tiredly but still got up as they obviously had no plans to meet with Hades yet, "I haven't even had a chance to touch a boob yet," Arnim thought almost tearfully as he also stood up quickly with the rest of his group.

If Davies could hear his thoughts, he'd tell him, "Wimps don't deserve big boobs… you can have the washboards," but fortunately or unfortunately, Davies couldn't hear his thoughts.

Davies stood still as he used his snow sensing to try to determine the number of monsters, but the numbers kept on rising as more monsters entered the range of his skill, 'At least one thousand monsters, and the number is still rising,'

"We're surrounded," he muttered,

[You being in this forest is quite troubling, you won't be able to make the best use of any big skill as your element is not very destructive]

"I know that… " Davies sighed,

"Take over sensing for me," he said as he began to make a spear of ice,

[Okay] Miya said as she began to use her Davies snowfield sensing skill to map out the area and the monsters around as they closed in.

[30 degrees to the left, 80 meters, B-rank monster, snow bear] she called out to Davies,

"Thanks," Davies replied as he fired the ice spear he just made in the direction that Miya just pointed out,

"Today is the worst day, I've had in a while," Davies muttered to himself as an ice sword formed in his grasp and he pointed it at the monsters,

"The devil better pray that you're not all bad guys otherwise he's going to be getting a lot of new inmates soon,"

"...well, I'm sure he wouldn't mind though," he said to himself as he turned towards where the direction of the most monsters.

"Don't make me have to save your sorry asses, because I won't," Davies told the B-Squad as he began to run toward the monster.

[You'll still save them if they're in a pinch, right?]

'Maybe I will… maybe I won't,' Davies replied to Miya as he arrived in front of a scaled humanoid creature with extremely sharp claws and jagged teeth that could tear wood off trees.

Though Davies had said that he might save the B-Squad if they were in a pinch, Miya knew better than to believe that he would save them.

Davies wasn't the type of person to do something like saving someone out of the goodness of his heart, and if he determined that they were useless, then they better hope they don't get in a pinch, because not only would he not bother to save them, but he'd also even get some popcorn and watch how they struggled and fell into despair before they died.

[It doesn't concern me either way] she thought as she watched Davies dodge the lizard-like creature's sharp claw that swung towards him before cutting off the monster's arm.

*Shrieeeek* the monster screamed in pain after losing an arm, but it soon went silent as Davies's ice sword found its way into its head, putting it out of its misery.

Three ice wolves quickly pounced towards Davies while his sword was still in "the lizard's" head, but the poor wolves didn't manage to get halfway towards him when they ended up having a meeting with the business end of ice spikes that had shot out of the floor and impaled them.

Davies let go of his ice sword and quickly conjured more ice spears in the air and started sending them at various monsters, switching to a long-range battle style instead of continuous close-range battles that would end up tiring him out.

An ice armadillo, a creature that looked like a mega-size armadillo with especially thick skin came rolling towards Davies at high speed. Davies shot more ice spears at the ice armadillo, but they couldn't pierce its back's shell as the armadillo continued towards, completely undisturbed by Davies's ice spears.

Davies quickly jumped out of the way of the ice armadillo and did a barrel roll to quickly get back on his feet as he looked at the ice armadillo that was turning towards his direction and once again rushing towards him.

'Its defense is quite high,' he thought as he jumped out of the way of the armadillo once again,

'Ice explosion wouldn't be able to do anything as it wouldn't be able to get through its defense, I need something heavy or strong enough to smash it to bits… maybe I should use that,' he thought as he continually evaded the ice armadillo's attempts to him turn him to roadkill, but while he was thinking of how to deal with the ice armadillo, he had ended up putting too much focus on the armadillo and forgot about the other monsters around him for a second, but that was enough for an ice werewolf that had been watching and waiting for Davies to make a mistake. It quickly charged at his open back in hopes of pulling off a sneak attack.

[Behind you!] Miya's voice rang inside Davies's head causing his self-protective instincts to flare up and, in an instant, he spun quickly on the spot while creating three daggers of ice and grabbing the first one,

"One to the heart," he muttered as he stabbed the werewolf that appeared behind him right in the heart, bursting his heart open and causing blood to splash out, but Davies didn't bother about that as he grabbed the remaining two daggers and stabbed them into the abdomen of the werewolf.

"Two to the lungs," he recited almost unconsciously and turned the daggers that he had stabbed into the lungs of the werewolf, further rupturing its lungs and stopping its airflow.

He then jumped up and created two more ice daggers that he threw into the eyes of the werewolf, using them as a foothold, he kicked hard at the daggers, plunging them further into the head of the werewolf and at the same time using it as a spring to push himself out of the way of the armadillo that was rolling in their direction,

*SQUELCH* the sickening sound of flesh and bones being crushed, filled Davies's ear as he landed on the snowy ground, but the gory sight of the blood and the squished body with its innards all over the place did not even cause him to flinch, as he had seen and even done worse in his past life, back when he was still called "The Mad Blood Demon Tyrant", but that's a story for another day.

Davies looked over at where the B-Squad members were fighting and luckily it seemed they would be able to hold out against the monsters,

'So, they're not completely useless,' he thought and turned back towards the armadillo that was already rolling towards him once again.

"This is getting old," he muttered as he activated his mana zone (an ability that can only be achieved by being able to tap into the surrounding mana and bend it perfectly to your will, forming a complete affinity with the mana in the range of your mana zone. When activated, it increases the activation speed of any skill/spell with mana and increases the power of the skill/spell depending on your mastery and understanding of the ability. It is the elementals equivalent of the weaponizer's domain)

Davies began to gather and condense mana until it became visible and began to flow around like water,

"Let's finish this," he said as he jumped towards the ice armadillo and turned the condensed mana into a huge ice hammer,

"UNITED STATES OF…"

*SMASHHHHH*
