The sound of battle in front of the Ice Spirit Ancient Tree reverberated through the icy abyss, while inside the towering ice mountain behind the battlefield, a different scene unfolded.
A pale blue ice shadow silently shuttled through the ice layers, its body made of ice crystals blending perfectly with the surrounding ice, as if it were a part of the ice mountain itself.

The ice shadow abruptly stopped, slowly squeezing out from the ice body.
The ice crystals covering its body began to melt and restructure at a speed visible to the naked eye.
