Even twenty C-rank frost giants weren't as intimidating as this woman standing before them now. The twenty they could at least outrun and endure against but her, there was no escape.
"Frost?" Borris being the more experienced of the group called upon their strongest protector with a resigned look in his eyes. They were truly up against a rock and a hard place.
