Noah activated his Presence Detection, allowing a three-dimensional map of his surroundings to form in his mind. Shapes and movements became clear, and soon, he locked onto a powerful presence not too far from his location.
He moved swiftly, the icy wind whipping against his cloak as he approached. The terrain was rugged, covered in thick layers of snow and jagged ice formations. And then—he saw it.
The creature stood at an imposing four meters tall, its muscular frame covered in thick, frosted blue skin that looked as hard as glacier stone. Its broad shoulders and massive arms were layered with natural ice armor, jagged and crystalline, forming spiked protrusions across its back and forearms.
Its face was monstrous, with deep-set, glowing white eyes, a flat nose, and razor-sharp teeth jutting out from its lower jaw. Frosted horns curved back from its skull, covered in a thin layer of ice that emitted a chilling mist.
