The moon was already dazzling brightly up above the sky, yet Zeno was still nowhere near his destination. Every time he let out a deep breath, water vapor came out of his mouth due to the chilling temperature.
The coldness of the surroundings was enough to freeze every living creature present in the area and turn them into frozen statues. Despite all of this, the demon was walking without any complaints. He was keeping himself warm by emitting a portion of his energy and using it as a barrier against the cold. He kept circulating it around his whole body. It looked simple and easy to do, but it took a lot of concentration to maintain it while moving. On the other hand, to make it not that complicated, he could emit energy in a continuous manner to repel the chilling temperature; however, it would cause him to burn a lot of energy before arriving at the frozen lake.
