Cryonis recognized the frozen silhouette, even though he had never seen one before. A Shirogane sorcerer. They remained invisible despite being encased in ice, and if he hadn't piled several layers on top of the first, they would have been able to escape once more without him knowing their position.
The one he caught had their arm stretched with a blade aimed straight ahead. They were trying to stab someone, or maybe slash them, and since he was the only one standing in that spot a moment before, the cold hero knew his neck had been the target.
A shadow fell over Cryonis just as the thought crossed his mind, and before he could look up, something fell on the ice sculpture, smashing it into pieces. The force of the strike washed over the surroundings, and if his hands hadn't been stuck to the ice on the ground, the cold hero could have been blown away by now.
