When Sparrow saw what had happened to Rose, he was utterly stunned, grappling with disbelief. Her body was encased in a thick layer of crystal ice, resembling a chilling coffin that enveloped her completely.
The transformation had occurred so rapidly that even Evelyn, who had been tending to Rose, hadn’t had a moment to react before the ice sealed her in seconds.
That’s why she and the others in the back of the truck became frantic, pounding on the small window to get the attention of the driver and the passenger.
They urged them to call for Sparrow’s assistance. With the base so close, they were terrified about what to do with Rose in this state; they didn’t know if they could bring her back or if it was even safe to try.
The sight of her in such a condition filled them all with worry and dread.
A thick layer of frost coated the metal floor of the truck, and an unbearable chill swept through the back, transforming it into a freezing chamber.
The sudden drop in temperature made everyone shiver uncontrollably, as if they were trapped in a walk-in freezer.
Even the fire-type ability users felt the drastic drop in temperature. They attempted to use their flames to melt the ice while warming themselves, but their efforts proved futile; the crystal ice showed no signs of melting, even under their intense heat.
Instead, their hands grew increasingly cold when they got too close, as if the ice were siphoning the warmth from their bodies.
Evelyn even attempted to use her steeled body to scrape the ice away, but when her steel made contact with the crystal ice, all they heard was a sharp ’clink’ of crystal meeting metal.
If it weren’t for the bone-chilling cold, they might have mistaken the ice for diamond, its surface gleaming with an otherworldly brilliance and sturdiness.
Sparrow observed them as they exhausted every possible method, only to be met with repeated failure.
After a moment of regaining his composure, he stepped forward and motioned for the others to back away.
Summoning a wind blade in his right hand, he aimed it directly at the encasing crystal ice.
This was his most potent wind attack, one he knew possessed the sharpness to slice through steel.
However, concern crept in; he feared it might inadvertently harm Rose, trapped within the encasing crystal.
To mitigate this risk, he prepared a second wind blade, ready to deflect the first, ensuring it wouldn’t pierce through the ice and endanger her.
But lo and behold!
His wind blade didn’t even graze the surface of the ice; instead, it bounced off, as if the crystal were impervious to his attack.
The edges of the ice deflected the wind blade, sending it soaring upward instead. With a sharp whoosh, it sliced through the ceiling of the truck, creating a clean cut in the dark green cover above.
The sudden sound of tearing metal echoed in the confined space, drawing startled looks from everyone present.
The remnants of the blade whirled around briefly before dissipating into thin air, leaving behind a tense silence filled with disbelief.
Sparrow’s heart raced as he realized the extent of the ice’s power—if his most potent attack had been rendered ineffective, then they were facing something truly formidable.
Sparrow was left speechless as he watched his wind blade deflect effortlessly off the crystal ice, his eyes widening in shock and disbelief.
Determined to try again, he quickly shot the other wind blade from his other hand, but to his dismay, it met the same fate.
The second blade ricocheted off the ice, reinforcing the unsettling realization that they were dealing with a force far beyond anything they had encountered before. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Frustration mingled with fear as he struggled to comprehend the situation, his mind racing for alternative solutions.
Everyone stood frozen, overwhelmed by confusion and fear. Questions raced through their minds: ’What was happening to Rose? Would she be able to breathe inside the ice? Was she dead, or was there still hope?’
The uncertainty weighed heavily on them, and the most pressing concern loomed— ’Should they take her to Kisha for help?’
