The villain's side of the novel

Chapter 165 The Frozen Dungeon

?

Amidst the vast expanse of the open sea, two formidable women-led ships bobbed gently on the waves. The crews of both vessels stood on the deck of the ships as they looked at a massive dimensional portal shimmering in the distance. Fray stood resolutely on the deck of one of the ships, his gaze fixed upon the two powerful beams of energy launched toward the portal. thinking ( it seems that the invention has succeeded. It's impossible to sense the energy of the portal now )

As Fray turned around, his eyes fell upon Elisa, Adam, and Giam, accompanied by a knight standing steadfastly beside Elisa. Looking at the knight Fray said, "Are you ready?"

The knight felt a slight nervousness in Fray's presence and the other big characters straightened his posture and summoned his courage. With a flourish of his hand, he conjured a swirling aura, and from its midst materialized a spectral bird, with obsidian feathers glistened with an ethereal sheen, reflecting shades of iridescent blues and purples and shiny golden eyes that reflected Fray's image with pure quality. "Yes, Sir I'm ready," said the knight

The knight gently cupped the bird in his hands, offering it whispered words of encouragement and guidance. With a soft release, the bird spread its majestic wings, launching itself into the awaiting portal. The crew members watched in awe as the avian emissary disappeared into the rift, leaving behind a trail of enchanting sparkles.

Inside the dungeon, the magical bird soared through a realm transformed by an icy grip. It beheld a desolate landscape where the sea had frozen over, giving birth to towering ice mountains that pierced the sky. Biting cold winds whipped through the air, causing the bird's feathers to ruffle and its tiny body to shiver.

Undeterred by the freezing conditions, the bird soared deeper into the dungeon, until a haunting sight unfolded before its eyes. In the dim light, the vast army of monsters emerged from the shadows, their presence sending a shiver down the bird's delicate spine. They stood with an eerie stillness, their gray-skinned bodies blending seamlessly with the frigid surroundings.

These abominable creatures possessed no eyes, only deep, hollow sockets that seemed to devour the very essence of light. Their mouths, wide and cavernous, stretched across their faces, filled with jagged teeth that jutted at grotesque angles. Each breath they exhaled sent forth plumes of icy mist, the freezing vapor trailing behind them like a morbid specter.

Millions of them stretched as far as the bird's keen vision could reach, Their whispers, like an eerie symphony of dread, filled the air, their voices carrying a chilling resonance that sent shivers down the bird's spine. They moved as a unified entity, their movements synchronized with unsettling precision. Their gray bodies formed a relentless wave, pulsating with otherworldly energy. As the bird's gaze swept across the assembly, it suddenly noticed a figure looming in the distance, a massive blurry shadow stood still behind the army. This silhouette cast an oppressive aura, sending a chill down the bird's spine. 

Suddenly, an unexpected event shook the frozen depths. A deafening roar reverberated through the space, causing the very ice to tremble. The army of monsters stirred with heightened agitation, their attention diverted towards a new source of the disturbance. The bird caught a glimpse of a colossal creature, larger than any of the others, emerge from the depths—a hulking beast with razor-sharp claws and glowing, malevolent eyes.

Fear gripped the bird's heart as the ground beneath it quivered, threatening to collapse. Realizing the imminent danger, the avian scout knew it had to escape the dungeon swiftly and deliver its vital message. With lightning speed, the bird propelled itself through the icy wind, weaving through the frozen mountains with an urgency fueled by survival.

The colossal beast roared once more, the sound echoing through the dungeon, its proximity growing closer with each passing moment. The bird's wings beat frantically, propelling it toward the portal with all the speed it could muster.

....

The knight's eyes widened, as he glanced at the bird passing through the portal with a huge speed, as he raised his hand in the air, the bird quickly headed towards the knight's arm. 

" it looks nervous, " Adam said, looking at the bird. 

" Show us what it saw," said Fray, looking at the trembling bird. 

" Alright, sir "Answered the man as he activates his bond with the spirit. 

 *Vision sharing *

suddenly a magical string of energy appeared connecting the knight's head with the bird's head. Thus, a connection is formed between the two, Then with a quick move with his hand, the knight creates more strings that connect Fray and the others with the bird. 

 At that moment Fray, Adam, Elisa, and Giam. A shimmering ethereal projection materialized before them, showcasing the chilling events that unfolded within the depths of the dungeon. They stood transfixed, their eyes wide with a mix of awe and horror as the scenes unfolded before them.

Through the magical link, they witnessed the vast army of eyeless monsters, their twisted forms moving with eerie precision. They saw the colossal creature, its monstrous stature sending tremors through the frozen corridors. The blurry shadow figure loomed ominously, exuding an aura of darkness that seemed to seep into their very souls.

The magical bird acted as a conduit, relaying not only its own experiences but also the emotions and sensations of the dungeon. Fray and the others could almost feel the bone-chilling coldness that permeated the air, the weight of the impending doom, and the palpable sense of fear that gripped the avian scout.

As the projection reached its climax, the bird's wings glowed brightly, illuminating the deck of the ship with an otherworldly light. The magical connection faded, leaving Fray and his companions to absorb the gravity of what they had witnessed. 

" Oh- my God!!" mumbles the knight with lifeless eyes. " There are millions of them "

" So this is a five-star dungeon " mumbled Giam with a pale face. 

" Even with the Arezo family, can we really defeat this dungeon,?" Adam said, looking deeply at the huge portal. 

"..." Elisa, which was responsible for the raiding squad, Looked at the dungeon with a complicated look, knowing that the current power of the Parada family isn't enough to face this danger 

Meanwhile, Fray with his regular emotionless face turned towards Adam and with a calm voice said "Let's return to the mansion"
