"What is... this?"
The Four Dark Corners felt suffocated by the nearly cruel spectacle before them.
What presented itself before their eyes was an odd and extreme environment reminiscent of an icehouse or a snow park—
In a completely ice-covered, enclosed underground chamber, nine humanoid ice sculptures were seated around a round table.
Some stood up in anger, others calmly relaxed their bodies and spread their arms, some whispered closely with the person beside them, and some leaned back as if they wanted to distance themselves from the others...
Like works of art, the nine elves—four males and five females—each with different postures and expressions as if they were alive.
But it was distinctly different from sculpture.
