Everything turned into chaos the moment that woman stepped forward. Even the air trembled around her. I had never witnessed such strength in my life, not even close. I could not understand how someone like that had been kept in a simple underground prison. There was only one explanation. Either the holy capital had no idea what kind of monster they were holding… or my ice was far more unusual than I ever imagined, strong enough to weaken seals that should never break.
It did not matter now. I had a chance. I had to flee while fate still allowed it. Wasting this precious moment would be the last mistake I ever made.
Even though a part of me burned with the urge to turn back and deal with Silver, I pushed the thought away. There would be time for that someday, when I was stronger, when I could crush her without crawling for survival. For now, escape was the only thing that mattered.
