Karina leapt down from the vessel as sheets of ice spread across the ocean. The sea froze in an instant, locking the cthulhus in place before the ice shattered under their struggling forms.
Forced onto solid ground, they were dragged into direct confrontation with the Bundesritters.
Each time the ice broke, it reformed just as quickly. The battlefield reshaped itself in an instant, denying the creatures any chance to surface freely. This was not a place where they could rise and vanish at will like moles.
Here, the terrain itself refused to let them escape.
"Major!"
One of the Navy officers shouted from behind her as the ice continued to spread across the sea.
Karina did not turn. Her boots pressed against the frozen surface. The Cthulhus thrashed, but none of them managed to break through.
