Fragments of ice scattered everywhere as I watched the Rank 5 monster burst out of the ground behind us where we had been standing, its terrifying roar echoing behind us and filling my head.
This thing wasn't like the Demon of Dreams or the Nightmare Flower, creatures specialized in the mind, which made them weaker compared to other monsters.
No, this thing was built purely for killing.
Its gaze sent chills down my spine as Elliot and I reached a dead end where a wall of ice several meters thick and dozens of meters tall appeared before us.
Normally, something like this wouldn't matter to us.
But now, with a monster behind us that could resume chasing us at any moment, slowing down for even a second wasn't an option.
"Elliot, do something!" I shouted toward him so he could hear me through the roaring wind.
Elliot focused his gaze ahead before grabbing my arm the moment we reached the ice wall.
