DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

'What the fu**!!!'

[Who was it that said that Superman didn't exist in this world?] Miya asked with a victorious tone.

'Nah... it can't be him...' At first, Davies was quite alarmed but then calmed himself even though just the thought of fighting a Kryptonian sent shivers down his spine.

[What if it really is him?]

'It's okay... one of Superman's weaknesses is magic and I got plenty of it,' Davies said to Miya, but it was more of a way of psyching himself.

'But if even that doesn't work...'

'... then we're dead,' Davies added as he watched the frigid penguin waddle past the bear and move towards the shadowy figure sitting on the ice throne. The frigid penguin stopped a little distance in front of the shadowy figure. The figure stood up from the ice throne and began to walk towards the frigid penguin, finally revealing his facial features.

[Eh... (￣^￣)]

[... who is this Superman lite?] Miya asked disappointedly as she saw the wannabe Superman was nothing but a pale figure with white skin, white hair, and long ears and was simply wearing a blue spandex suit with a flowing red cape hanging from his back.

'Not Superman, but an ice elf that does cosplay,' Davies had to resist the urge to laugh at her question so as not to give himself away.

'... but he is strong though,' Davies thought as he felt the mana coming from the cosplaying ice elf. This guy was making no effort to hide his strength as he allowed his mana to flow unrestrained.

[You're right, he's S-rank but it seems he just became S-rank, his mana is a bit lacking] Miya informed Davies as they kept on watching the monsters.

The ice elf walked over to the frigid penguin and grabbed it by the head and raised it up,

"Let me see what the intruders can do?" he said and began to suck the life out of the penguin as the penguin began to lose body mass, turned into a bag of bones, lost all vitality, and when the ice elf released the penguin, it fell to the ground, dead.

'Seems like some sort of life drain that also has the ability to take the memories of its target,' Davies mused internally.

[He's an evil Superman... he killed skipper] Miya cried out inside Davies's head.

'... So?'

[You must get revenge for skipper] Miya said shamelessly.

'Err, No.'

'Rule No.6 of cowardice... if you meet an enemy stronger than you, run,'

'May the cowardice be with you,'

'Amen.'

[(￣^￣)]

[But you can defeat him, right?]

'If I use "Reversion", I'd squish him like a bug, but you and I both know why I can't afford to use it,'

[Then don't... just YOLO your way to victory] Miya cheekily replied.

'...'

'Are you sure you're an intelligent system interface assistant or a death mine of stupid and suicidal ideas,'

[*gasp*]

[I'm hurt by your impression of me] Miya said in a voice filled with mock sadness.

'Whatever...'

'The point is, I can't beat him easily, so no fighting unless absolutely necessary,'

[Then... why aren't you running away already?]

'*sighs*'

'... we came here to get information, remember?'

[But what more information do we need?]

[You already confirmed the presence of an S-rank gate inhabitant that is probably the...] Miya began to ask but stopped when she noticed "Superman lite" beginning to walk towards another corner of the room where a huge block of ice stood.

[What do you think he's doing?] Miya asked Davies but Davies didn't reply.

The ice elf stopped in front of the huge block of ice that was as tall as he was and as wide as 4 grown men put side by side.

He put his hand on the block of ice and the ice began melting away selectively until a rectangular ice mirror was all that was left of the huge ice block.

[Eh?]

[Did he do all that to make a mirror so he can admire himself?] Miya began but, 'Just keep quiet and watch, okay,' Davies interrupted her.

Suddenly the ice mirror began to glow and then an image appeared on the ice mirror.

Another ice elf's face was displayed in the mirror. An oppressive force was sent around the room causing Davies to gasp for breath at the sudden display of strength from just the image of this ice elf.

'Just his image caused this kind of reaction,' Davies thought, startled.

"Superman Lite" knelt before the image of the ice elf on the ice mirror.

"Did you manage to scout the target area? Khal Ed," the new ice elf asked "Superman lite". His voice sounded regal and cold.

"No, my liege," Khal Ed replied as he knelt.

"Hmmm? Why?" the ice elf on the mirror asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Some human blessed ones entered the small world before we could even note anything and now the portal that leads to the outside world is locked up by what seems to be chains made of pure mana," Khal Ed answered his Liege's questions.

"It became a mission gate huh? the ice elf muttered to himself, but everyone on Khal Ed's side of the mirror could still hear his voice.

"Then why aren't the humans dead yet?" the regal-sounding ice elf's voice took on a slightly oppressive tone as he asked Khal Ed.

Khal Ed's body shivered as he quickly replied, "Unfortunately, they're quite strong and unless I personally go into battle against them, I don't think they will be killed... and even then, one of them gives me a very uncomfortable feeling".

"Oho..." The ice elf seemed intrigued about the humans that were messing with his plans, and for a second, Davies thought he glanced his way.

'I must be imagining it,' Davies whispered to himself.

"Change of plans... make your way to another small world and continue your mission to prepare the monsters for the attack on section 2487, known to the humans as Yorkshire..."

"We can't afford to have you suffer losses on this kind of small world... it isn't much anyway,"

"Above all, the mission remains the same, we are going to take the world by storm in a year as a gift to the Evil Lord of Devastation upon his reawakening, and there I nothing a couple of ants can do about it,"

"... don't you think so, blessed human?" the ice elf on the mirror said as his eyes turned towards Davies who was staying camouflaged as snow on the icy ceiling of the boss room.

'Shit...! So I wasn't imagining it,' Davies thought with a wry smile.
