The Villain's Side of the Novel
chapter-187

Montaser's gaze darted across the chaotic scene below as he hovered in mid-air, suspended by his telekinetic abilities. The once pristine frozen landscapes were now shattered and strewn with debris, remnants of the fierce battle that had taken place. Surrounding the epicenter of destruction stood Fray, a solitary figure amid the lifeless bodies of the monstrous creatures.

Suddenly, Montaser's heightened senses kicked in, alerting him to imminent danger. Two sizzling blue energy balls hurtled towards him with incredible speed, their trajectory impossible to track for even someone as extraordinary as Montaser. The distance between him and the approaching attacks seemed to collapse within an instant, leaving him little time to react.

Instinct took over as Montaser unleashed his telekinetic abilities. With a surge of power, he propelled himself several meters away from the trajectory of the energy balls, narrowly evading their deadly impact. The intense heat scorched the air as the energy projectiles whizzed past, missing him by mere inches.

Relieved that he had dodged the attacks, Montaser's attention was abruptly drawn to the ground below. In the center of the massive hole created by Fray's devastating blow, a colossal explosion of blue energy erupted. The force of the blast sent shockwaves through the air, reaching Montaser's ears with a deafening roar. Without a moment's hesitation, he descended swiftly to Fray's side.

Worry etched deeply across Montaser's features as he assessed Fray's condition. His master lay sprawled on the unforgiving ground, bearing the visible marks of the impact. Concern and urgency infused Montaser's voice as he urgently inquired about Fray's well-being. "Are you alright, Master? How bad are your injuries?" Montaser asked, his eyes scanning Fray's battered form.

"Montaser!" Fray's voice carried a hint of pain. "I'm fine. How are the others?" he asked, struggling to get up.

As Montaser prepared to update Fray on the situation, his acute senses alerted him once again. He glanced up, his eyes widening with alarm as he noticed the towering shadow that loomed overhead, with two massive blue eyes glowing ominously from within the darkness. A sense of foreboding washed over Montaser as he realized they were facing yet another imminent attack.

With quick reaction, Montaser tapped into his telekinetic powers. With focused concentration, he created ten protective shields of telekinetic force. Each shield shimmered with an ethereal glow, forming a barrier around him and Fray.

The approaching attack came hurtling towards them, crackling with overwhelming power. Montaser's heart raced as he braced himself, his telekinetic shields standing strong against the immense force.

Boom!

The collision between the energy ball and the shields caused a blinding explosion, threatening to shatter the protective barrier. Montaser strained against the tremendous energy, his every muscle trembling under the strain. With great difficulty, Montaser managed to hold the shields intact, preventing the attack from reaching them.

Gasping for breath, Fray looked up at Montaser. "The monster can't attack us if it can't see us," he gasped, his voice strained from the battle.

The words struck a chord within Montaser's memory, recalling Fray's teachings about the monster's abilities. It possessed a lightning-fast skill that could only be utilized when it had a clear visual on its target. A plan began to form in Montaser's mind.

Drawing upon his telekinetic prowess once more, Montaser manipulated massive chunks of ice from the shattered landscapes. With precise control, he maneuvered the ice chunks, strategically positioning them between himself, Fray, and the towering shadow. The icy barriers served

as a temporary shield, effectively obstructing the monster's line of sight and rendering them invisible to its senses.

As the dust settled and the immediate danger subsided, Fray struggled to rise, leaning against a nearby chunk of ice for support. Beads of sweat lined his forehead as he mustered his strength to speak. "The monster won't attack us if it can't see us," he declared, his voice determined.

Montaser nodded in agreement, understanding the urgency of their escape. "Don't worry, sir. I will find a way out for us," he assured Fray.

However, before they could devise an escape plan, a sudden roar echoed through the desolate landscape. The voices grew louder, indicating the approach of potential allies or adversaries. Montaser and Fray exchanged alarmed glances, their senses heightened.

The sound of approaching roars filled the air, causing Montaser's heart to race. They needed to act swiftly. Fray was visibly tired and injured, and although Montaser possessed great strength, he knew he couldn't win against the boss of the dungeon while protecting Fray. Their best move was to run. Thus, Fray and Montaser prepared to make their escape.

Montaser used his telekinetic power to support Fray and help him move. With calculated speed, they began to navigate through the wreckage. Montaser's mind raced, recalling Fray's words about the boss' ability. With that knowledge, Montaser continued to employ his telekinetic abilities, manipulating the massive ice chunks to shield their movements from the creature's line of sight.

As they made their way, Fray suddenly heard a familiar sound approaching very fast. He looked in a certain direction, his expression serious. "Montaser, use your power to create a barrier using the chunks of ice around us," Fray said urgently.

Montaser didn't hear or understand why Fray wanted to stop moving and create a dome, but as always, he simply answered, "Alright, sir."

Thus, Montaser stopped moving, and under the full force of his telekinetic abilities, hundreds of building-sized chunks of frozen ice started floating in the sky. Montaser organized them with precision, establishing thick walls around him and Fray. The towering ice walls rose, encasing them in a protective fortress.

As Montaser focused his telekinetic abilities, the frozen chunks of ice responded to his command. They soared through the air, coming together with remarkable precision and speed. Towering walls of ice began to form, encircling Montaser and Fray, creating a protective barrier against the approaching monsters.

The ice walls rose higher and higher, reaching formidable heights that blocked out the surrounding landscape. The glistening surface of the ice shimmered under the faint light, casting an ethereal glow upon the battle-worn duo. The barrier stretched wide, offering a formidable defense against the relentless onslaught of the monstrous creatures.

Four huge monsters, just like the one Fray had killed, appeared on the horizon and thundered toward the ice barrier. Their roars echoed through the air as they charged. With each collision, the barrier shuddered under the force of their attacks. Cracks spiderwebbed across the surface, evidence of the immense strain on the ice walls. But Montaser's unwavering focus and telekinetic control allowed him to reinforce the weakened sections, mending the fractures and fortifying the defense.

Inside the icy fortress, Montaser's brow furrowed with concentration as he continued to manipulate the ice, reinforcing the barrier in real-time to counter the monsters' relentless assault. Fray, leaning against the ice wall, retrieved a healing jar from his quick-access ring. He knew that regaining his power and healing his injuries was essential to their survival.

The monsters' powerful strikes reverberated throughout the icy enclosure, causing vibrations to ripple through the walls. Yet, Montaser's mastery over his telekinetic powers allowed him to absorb and disperse the impact, preventing any significant damage to the barrier. But it was just a matter of time before Montaser wouldn't be able to reinforce the barrier any further, so Fray and Montaser knew they had to find a way out.
