"You wretched beast! How dare you run wild!"
The moment the cold, imperious female voice fell, the snowflakes and ice crystals suspended across the sky seemed to answer an absolute summons. They surged madly toward the Ice Blue Greatsword plunging down from the heavens.
The Ice Blue Greatsword swelled enormously, becoming a frozen sword of judgment that reached from sky to earth. It stabbed toward the dazzling Profound Nether Ice Phoenix below!
