47 CHAPTER 47: BREAKING THE DEADLOCK II

Davies requested immediately after he set Tisha down,

"I need you to do something for me,"

Tisha didn't reply but it was obvious from the look on her face that she was listening to what he had to ask of her.

"On my signal, I need you to use your telekinesis to send me flying as fast as you can toward that annoying bear,"

"Can you do that?" Davies asked after making his request.

Tisha nodded, albeit a bit hesitantly as she remembered the last time she had used her power on Davies and how he had reacted afterward, but since he was the one asking for it, there shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Ok, let's go," Davies said after seeing her nod affirmatively. They started to run around the left flank of the monster but still gave it a wide berth with Davies in the lead and Tisha just behind him.

Davies began to conjure a huge ice spear as he ran around the bear, while Tisha used her barrier to block the ice spike bear's spike attacks.

Once the ice spear grew to the size of a car, Davies shot it at the bear and shouted to Tisha.

"Now!"

Tisha quickly wrapped her telekinetic power around Davies's figure before picking him up and sending him straight at the ice bear at the highest speed she could muster.

Davies was sent flying at the ice spike bear at high speed after the huge ice spear that he had shot at the bear.

The ice spike bear stood up on its hind legs to block the huge ice spear as it was too big for it to wave off and it was too slow to avoid the ice spear completely, but as it did, it noticed Davies zeroing on his location.

This was the idea that Davies had come up with… divert the attention of the bear and occupy its hands and then quickly move in for a lightning-fast attack and the first move in the attack was,

*PUCHI*

An ice spike quickly formed from the snow beneath the ice spike bear and shot upwards until it pierced into a weakness present in any animal… it's asshole.

[Hidden jutsu; A thousand years of death!]

"GRRROOOOOOAAAHHHHH"

The ice bear threw its head backward and cried out in pain from being pierced anally, but Davies wasn't going to let the bear go just because he tore him a new one,

He quickly activated mana zone and conjured a huge ice sword above the ice bear and brought it stabbing down towards the bear's head, but the bear managed to narrowly avoid death instinctively at the last moment.

Though the bear had managed to avoid death by not letting the huge ice sword stab directly into its head, it had still not been able to completely dodge the ice sword and the sword had lodged itself into its body from its right shoulder causing the bear to lose its grip over the huge ice spear that Davies had first shot at it.

The moment this happened, Davies slammed into the ice spear at high speed, leg first and pushing the spear into the chest of the ice bear and injuring it gravely, but this still wasn't the end of Davies's attacks.

He used his mana to create two ice projectiles that looked like missiles with extremely sharp ends and shot them into the two eyes of the bear, effectively blinding it and piercing the brain of the bear.

"Tick tock… boom," Davies muttered as he turned away from the bear and began to walk while at the same time activating the skill "ice explosion and imploding all the ice "projectiles" that had been impaled into the bear.

The ice blew up, shredding the brain and the… of the bear.

Overkill?

Definitely, but Davies was a person that made sure that his enemies stayed deader than dead, he wasn't a fan of resurrected enemies that had no business coming back to life but still doing it, though, for this poor bear, the chance was minuscule, but Davies didn't care.

'You don't need an asshole in the afterlife anyway… pretty sure there ain't nobody gay there, right?' Davies couldn't help but wonder, but he quickly put that aside and focused on something more important at the moment which was getting his ass out of the gate before the bomb blew up.

'Miya, how much time do we have left?' he quickly asked.

[29 minutes and 39 seconds]

"Shit… can't make it out in ti-" he was muttering to himself until his eyes fell on Tisha who was waiting with an anxious look on her face.

"... or can I?" a wry smile appeared on his face and he hastened his steps as he moved toward her.

"We have to fly… or you have to, and carry me along… it's the only way," Davies said the moment he reached her and this time Tisha didn't have any hesitation,

"Okay," she answered immediately and wrapped her telekinetic power around him and herself and shot them into the sky at high speed.

'Phew…' though Davies didn't reveal it on his face neither did he say it out loud, he was relieved that Tisha did end up coming back for him, otherwise, his story would have ended before he even finished his first arc.

He looked at the ground below them that whizzed past as they flew along but then noticed something strange.

'... huhh, Miya, is it just me, or does the ground seem to be getting closer?' he asked about the strange occurrence that he had noticed.

[No kidding]

Immediately he looked up at Tisha who was responsible for their flight and quickly noticed that she was sweating quite a bit and looked tired and winded like she had just completed a ten-kilometer run.

"...!" before he could even get a chance to say a word, he felt the warm feeling of being wrapped in Tisha's telekinetic force disappear and they began to plunge toward the ground.

"Shit!" he quickly used his mana to conjure an ice platform beneath his feet that he used to push himself towards Tisha and catch her before he began to fall as it didn't seem like she had the energy to do anything to protect herself as she fell.

*PLOSSH*

They fell into the snow after falling for about two seconds. Luckily, they weren't far from the ground and the snow on the ground was quite thick, so it easily cushioned their fall.

He quickly pushed Tisha away from on top of him and got up as this wasn't the time to lie in the snow and make snow angels.

"I ran out of mana…" Tisha's weak apologetic voice reached his ears as he rose up.

"Figures…" for once, Davies didn't blame her as this situation was inevitable and he didn't have the time to think about it earlier.

She had fought with her teammates against the monsters, then she had gone with them to the portal to the gate, then she had flown back at top speed towards Davies and helped him with his battle against the ice spike wolf and had then begun to fly them back to the gate and had already flown them more than halfway there.

It would be stranger if she wasn't out of mana.

This was why she was now showing signs of "mana overuse." It happens when any being that uses mana uses enough mana to the point where it interrupts the mana being used for bodily functions and the symptoms that accompany it are weakness, temporary paralysis, and many others.

Unfortunately, Davies was now back to having to run to the gate, but carrying Tisha along would end up slowing him down and was not a feasible option.

But he'd be damned if he just let go of the pawn he had just managed to acquire, so he quickly picked her up and began conjuring a flat platform under him with some specific qualities… he ended up creating a snowboard and firmly setting his feet on the ice snowboard and freezing his legs to the snowboard, he began to snowboard as fast as he could with the help of his ice powers.

'How many minutes?' he didn't need to elaborate on the question for Miya to understand what he meant, and she quickly answered,

[19 minutes, 56 seconds]

'Noted' he nodded slightly and employed his ice powers to go even faster.

'...I never thought there would come a day when I would snowboard in a gate wearing a shirt, trousers, and dress shoes, and have a ticking bomb on my ass,' he thought wistfully to himself.

[With a hottie in your arms] Miya added and giggled, but you could hear the unease in her voice if you listened well enough.

Both Davies and Miya were very anxious, but they'd never admit it and they coped with it through their various means of coping with anxiety. Davies by acting as if the problem didn't exist and focusing on something else to distract himself and Miya by pricking at Davies at every opportunity.

Their anxiety though couldn't match Tisha's as she was carried along by Davies. She was feeling extremely useless right now, but she didn't even have the energy to do anything about it as she had already burnt herself out.

Finally, Davies could see the portal that led out of the gate, and to his utter shock, the members of the B-Squad were waiting at the portal.

"Ahh, for Chris's sake…"

"Get in the portal you fu**ing blobs of uselessness!" for the first time, Davies had to shout at the top of his voice at them as he approached.

What the f*k were they doing waiting for him?

Who waits around when there's a nuke that can wipe you out at any time?

This was stupidity, utter stupidity, there was no other way to explain it.

[Ten seconds]

[Nine]

[Eight]

'Shit, shit, shit,' Davies increased his speed and was finally almost at the gate.

[Three]

[Two]

[O-]

'Goddamit shut up!!!' Davies bellowed inside his head as he arrived in front of the portal, that led outside the gate.

*BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM*

Davies didn't need an invitation to jump inside the portal headfirst and instantly fall out on the other side.

Out of the corner of his eye, as he was still mid-air, he noticed that the portal wouldn't close immediately and would require about three seconds to close, so he didn't make any attempt to land on his feet and continued falling towards the ground, but not forgetting to shout,

"Get down!!!"
