The Iceman didn't feel much fear in Amed's heart.
If Hazad derives his courage from Seolo, then the washinian derives his steadfastness from Rokoshta.
He did not try to speak as he had done to the genie, and let Amed begin the conversation:
- "The genie has exaggerated your death, you seem still alive and kicking."
He was bleeding from his head, neck, and shoulders, due to the violent impact of molten metal after encountering the blacksmith's workshop, but his release of the Negative Ice Energy within him saved him from death.
Just then, the hot iron around him quickly froze, increasing the pressure of his energy until it cracked and broke free.
He wasn't prepared for the surprises from people with spiritual swords, so he started his attack by releasing Negative Ice Energy.
That energy could freeze an entire network of water channels, as he did to the network under a castle's well, and thus bodily fluids, so he had learned since childhood to kill wolves by suffocating them. Suddenly all the wolf's blood, fluid, saliva, and even tear ducts would freeze, and it would die.
But he, like most of the rare icemen, did not only use that energy at this elementary level, but he contacted one of the wises of the north and learned to read specifically to examine some of the lost books of the sea-jinn, and worked hard until he knew his latent capabilities, which the original icemen used.
The original iceman was a wonderful creature, he could launch a perfect blizzard, freeze a small river or lake, make walls of ice, or shoot sharp, arrowhead-like ice fractures through his fingers, killing an entire battalion from a distance on his own.
They are famous for saving the continent (Orioum) from the invasion of the continent (Chilek) by the kingdom (New Galluharin) from that small eastern continent, after their victory over the chilekish in the Battle of (Snow Land) in the late eighteenth century.
He carried within him the same Snow Spirit, which the Frozen Lord (Woroz) had given to his ancestors, the god is known to be the owner of Ice and one of the Black Gods.
After years of meditating and training, he managed to reach the second level, so he stretched out his hands in the air in front of him, and attacked Amed.
The moisture from the air withdrew at great speed towards Amed's body, who suddenly felt a cold watery blanket covering his entire body, rapidly thickening, until he found himself trapped in a vast transparent ice block.
He struggled to catch his breath, and the mass surrounded him from all directions, and he saw the Iceman approaching him with sore features, because of his many wounds, as he slowly thrust his hand into the ice in order to catch his neck.
Amed was fighting to free himself, but the mass was besieging him and shackled him tightly, so he muttered to Rokoshta:
- "Break the ice. With fire."
The iceman's hand was permeating into the ice block softly, without cracking it, as if his own hand were part of the block, and a second before he touched his neck, Rokoshta shook vigorously, and then his blade reddened sharply, and cracks spread rapidly in the block, and when the iceman grabbed Amed's neck, he began to feel the deathly coldness inside.
And his blood froze.
