The transformation occurred instantly.
Before the three guards could even fully move toward her, terrifying cold erupted outward from Kiara's body like an exploding glacier, and within a fraction of a second, ice spread violently across the entire venue floor with cracking sounds sharp enough to resemble shattering glass while white frost swallowed tables, lanterns, chairs, and even the surrounding air itself.
Guests felt their blood nearly stop flowing.
Breath turned white.
Skin numbed.
The three attackers froze mid-motion.
Xander Cross himself became trapped in ice before even understanding what happened.
Almost everyone inside the venue transformed into frozen statues.
Only Noah and Zion remained unaffected.
Kiara's expression, however, remained calm. But inwardly, she did not dare relax even slightly.
Two of the guards possessed cultivation at the Elementary Legendary Realm, Low-Eight-star Rank.
The third stood at Peak Seven-star Rank.
