The sound of battle echoed through Redfik Street, a relentless symphony of clashing steel, dying screams, and the crackle of unleashed energy. Smith Clan warriors and Blade Clan soldiers fought with unyielding ferocity, neither side willing to surrender. The once-proud streets were now littered with blood, scorch marks, severed limbs, and shattered weapons, turning the battlefield into a nightmarish graveyard.
Yet, amidst the carnage, one structure remained untouched.
A colossal fortress of ice stood in the heart of Veryan City, its sheer presence dominating the skyline. Thick, white, and unnaturally cold, it pulsed with an eerie energy that sent shivers through the air. The frost that surrounded it was no ordinary ice—it was death itself. Any who dared venture too close were instantly frozen solid, their bodies transformed into statues of suffering. But the most horrifying part was the screaming.
Those trapped in ice did not die in silence.
