Meeting Again

Trapped within the ice, Nox strained with all his might, attempting to shatter the statue encasing him and free himself, but it was in vain. He couldn't even move a single muscle. His eyes rolled in their sockets as he looked around; indeed, the others were also struggling, but it was futile.

'It feels as if the ice is restricting our powers,' Nox thought, feeling slightly dizzy. The freezing cold was almost unbearable, and he couldn't help but curse the Elemental Beast in his mind.

Was it a hidden psychopath that preferred to give its enemies a slow, painful death? Nox couldn't help but wonder.

Slowly, the world started to blur, and Nox, along with everyone else, lost consciousness.

As they slipped into unconsciousness, the icy dome began to melt away. At first, the process was slow, but it soon picked up speed. The reason was simple: the Elemental Beast was no longer inside the dome.
