'Did I miss something?' Davies asked himself as he sensed the mana coming from the fortress.

It was so alarmingly high that he couldn't even miss it by mistake and even worse, more mana was flowing in that direction causing the amount to increase even further.

"Huh?"

Davies heard different gasps and exclamations from behind him as the B-Squad members also noticed the huge amount of mana.

'Even those duds managed to notice the mana,' Davies thought as he glanced over his shadow at them, but then they immediately went quiet, leaving Davies wondering why they were so exceptionally quiet today, they were usually annoyingly loud in the one day he had known them after all.

'Hey Miya, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think either Khal Ed or the other ice elf said anything about gathering huge amounts of mana, right?' Davies asked thoughtfully.

[No, they said nothing about it]

[But don't forget that while they mentioned attacking the outside world…]

[... they never mentioned how] Miya replied quickly with her own personal thoughts and conclusion.

'Hmmmm…'

'So… whatever is causing that large amount of mana to gather is their attack plan,' Davies concluded.

'See… this is what it's like when you're actually helpful,'

'Two heads are truly better than one…'

'... actually, two minds in the same head,' Davies said and chuckled lightly.

[Hmph] Miya scoffed,

[Well, whatever you have to do, make sure to do it fast]

[I'm pretty sure I don't need to tell you what would happen if that kind of mana is used for anything destructive]

[... I'd rather not die before I get to watch the final part of the final season of Attack on Titans, so do me a favor and don't die like an idiot]

'...'

"... Ah, lord, I know that I am a sinner, but nothing I ever did deserves having inside my head," Davies facepalmed and grumbled in low tones.

[Yeah, you deserve one of those dual cultivation systems that would require you to do nothing but find cock sleeves everywhere you go]

[Though I'm pretty sure that would have worked well for you, you're good at that anyway] Miya interjected and then went radio silent.

After realizing that Miya wasn't going to say anything else, Davies came out of his thoughts to focus on the current glaring problem that needed to be solved sooner rather than later.

"Okay… slight of plans," Davies called out with a loud tone to the B-Squad as he turned around to face them.

"You guys should increase the speed at which you kill monsters while I will still take care of the boss, but I need to find out what is gathering that much mana,' he laid out his new plans,

"Could it be a blessed treasure?" Anthony called out, causing everybody to look at him while fighting the urge to facepalm. Some of them couldn't resist though and loud slapping sounds rang out in the area.

"Of course not, you dimwit, what type of blessed treasure gathers mana like that!!!" Is what Davies wanted to say, but he swallowed his words and contented himself with just glaring coldly at Anthony, his eyes literally saying,

"Please shut the f**k up,"

Luckily, Anthony did shut the f**k up after being on the business end of Davies's cold glare, allowing him to get across his final words to the group.

"Move smart, hit hard, and don't die," he said and then turned his back on the group and began to make his way down the cliff, very quick on his feet.

The B-Squad quickly followed suit and ran after him as he closed in on the ice fortress.

As Davies got close enough, he noticed a gate made from ice where the opening into the fortress used to be.

"That wasn't here last time…"

"... Well, nothing a little knocking wouldn't solve," he muttered as he ran even faster towards the gate of the ice fortress while simultaneously activating his mana zone and conjuring three huge ice pillars with their ends sharpened before sending them flying at high speed towards the gate.

"Knock, Knock,"

*BOOOM*

The ice pillars crashed heavily into the gates formed of ice and blasted them into oblivion with a loud bang.

"I know I said don't die, but do try to stay alive," Davies slightly turned and said in the direction of Tisha before jumping and disappearing into the cloud of ice dust and snow flying around due to the ice pillars crashing into the ice gate.

'Dynamic Entry!!!' Davies shouted internally as he came out of the other side of the cloud of ice dust and kicked a snow baboon across the face, sending it flying.

"Grrrrooooooaaaahhhh!" the monster roared when it was sent flying.

Who was this human that had destroyed the gate he was guarding and then come flying inside with his legs first and kicking him?

Did he not even know basic courtesy?

You're supposed to greet people you know and meet for the first time with a handshake right?

The snow baboon's thinking time was cut short by an ice spear shooting towards its head, unfortunately, since it was airborne it could not dodge the ice spear and the ice spear ended up lodged in the snow baboon's head, causing everything to go dark for the baboon.

Davies didn't have time to involve himself in any time-wasting battles so he quickly finished off the snow baboon and quickly began darting through the monsters in the direction of where the huge mana was being accumulated.

The monsters tried to catch him or stomp on him, but Davies showed amazing mobility and dexterity as he made it halfway through the wave of monsters without being drawn into a fight, but it was taking too long, so he quickly activated the incomplete elementalization technique and using that, he was able to make it out of the back of the monster wave without being drawn into a fight or even being noticed.

He looked back in the direction of the gate of the fortress of the monsters, and he was able to hear the sounds of battle, it seemed the B-Squad was already battling the monsters.

Once he had confirmed that, he dashed off in the direction of the mana. It didn't seem to be coming from the direction of the boss's room, but since he was following a trail of mana he didn't get lost, and after a while, he finally reached the front of the room where the mana was coming from.

He readied himself for a surprise attack, (if there was to be any) and opened the door of the room.

Good, there was no surprise attack. There didn't even seem to be anybody in this room for that matter. This caused Davies to ease up a bit, but the moment he noticed where the humongous amount of mana seemed to be coming from, all that ease flew out the window.

"Ah, shit,"
