In front of Sam, there is a humanoid figure made up of ice and also holding a spear made of ice. The whole body of the figure is emitting fog all over and it is facing Sam directly.
Sam's spiritual sense is still not working, he once again closed his eyes and looked at the hologram inside the tower and this time, he noticed that Philip, Watt, and Jack are on the third floor of the tower.
They are also looking at the hologram along with Sam.
They don't know if Sam is looking or not, so they didn't make a sound.
Sam just observed the energy waves of the Icy figure and noticed that it is also a pre-transcendent. Just like the beast that is outside.
A pre-transcendent stage Ice warrior appeared out of nowhere and that too when Sam was pulled towards a whirlpool by an invisible force.
