Change of plans.

While Marian tried to make Dantalian as comfortable as possible to buy Echidna more time to get a healing potion

A massive ice sphere would fall in the middle of the city, with Marian's house being too far away for her to know about it.

Luck for her, after all, the one who would come out of this sphere was the ice aberration.

"What the hell is this?"

"Why did he decide to show up?"

"We shouldn't have irritated him."

"Now is he after us? Why? We didn't do anything."

These were the cries of the villagers, all running in fear. Why did the villain suddenly appear in their town? What was the motive? He wasn't after the Duchess, so why attack the poor villagers?

"You betrayed me!" A male voice would come from within the ice sphere.
