After conquering the second floor in six hours, Noah stepped through the next portal, arriving at the third floor.
A world of endless white stretched before him. Unlike the tundra, this place was covered in a raging blizzard, reducing visibility to near zero. Snow and ice storms howled, making it difficult to navigate.
The wind was razor-sharp, cutting like blades against his skin.
Noah pulled up his cloak, activating Mana's Armor Level 1 to shield himself from the elements. His Presence Detection spread outward, mapping the battlefield.
Here, the monsters were not just stronger—they were smarter.
A sudden sensation made Noah jump back just in time. From beneath the snow, a creature lunged—a humanoid beast cloaked in icy mist, wielding curved claws that shimmered with frost magic.
Ice Stalkers.
They blended into the blizzard, their figures nearly invisible, attacking with lightning-fast strikes before vanishing again.
