"What things we took? What exactly do you mean?"
Megan asked, her voice quite clear even in the rainy night. In that brief span of time, the ship behind her and Shade had already been completely frozen over. This was not the ability of a Ring Arcanist, but an out-of-control relic affecting the surrounding environment.

That final roar fully revealed just how furious the man was, while also proving that the small wooden key was indeed quite important.

Shade said as well. Unlike the others, who could make their voices carry clearly and powerfully through the rainy night using various techniques, he was relying purely on physical strength to shout.
As he spoke, he squeezed the witch's hand behind him, signaling that she could have her followers come over.
