"Wain! It's really you!" Zero exclaimed with a dazed look.
"Yeah. I am." Wain nodded as he placed Zero on the ground.
Zero shook off the dust, looked around, and muttered, "Where are we? Where did we go?"
Crackling.
Several monsters with menacing auras that stared at Zero emerged from the ice caves. Small shards of ice were falling down from the monsters' sharp claws while more and more of them appeared.
"Shit!" Zero frowned as she prepared to fight.
At the same time, a man with black hair and yellow as though gold eyes appeared next to Wain, then he honed his hand toward Wain.
Zero's pupils narrowed as the dark blade in her hand headed for the man's neck, but suddenly Wain stopped her while shaking the man's hand.
"Elegan, how good to see you. How long has it been?" Wain muttered with a smile on his face.
