Vivian's pupils contracted sharply at the sight of the enemy that had suddenly burst in!
At such close range, with the attack coming so suddenly, she only had time to hastily conjure a thick Ice Shield in front of herself!

The Frost Breath slammed squarely into the Ice Shield!
The frigid energy shattered the ice crystals relentlessly.
While the Ice Shield still held, Vivian seized the opportunity to counterattack with ice magic. But because of the Frost Giant Lizard's high ice resistance, her attack failed to inflict any meaningful damage.

But just then, Greg threw his body directly between Vivian and the Frost Breath!
There was no time left to push Vivian aside, so he chose the most direct-and most dangerous-option!
