Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Massive ice spears rained down continuously from the sky, while crystalline ice flowers bloomed across the ground.
Caught between the ice spears above and the ice flowers below, even Gamabunta, despite his agility, was thrown into a flustered mess. Frost spread over several parts of his body, and an ice spear even struck his back.
