At the Misty Forest.
The Misty Forest was deafeningly quiet at the moment. Only the sound of falling snowflakes could be heard through the crevices between the branches and leaves. The ground was covered in thick snow, and the smudged footprints of magical beasts could be seen in the distance.
A ray of light flashed across the ground in the midst of the silence, revealing a massive magical array. Watson, Sven, the astrologer, Nightingale, and ten Shadow Guards appeared in the forest, followed by 100,000 magical beasts. The roar echoed across the sky, and the entire Misty Forest came to life in an instant.
"Watson—" The astrologer could not help but speak as soon as he exited the magical array, but he was interrupted by Watson. "Master, look!"
Watson pointed in the direction of a nearby peak. The mountain was hundreds of meters high and completely covered with snow. Only a few exposed boulders revealed that the mountain was formerly green-gray.
