In the end, Zack's speed truly slowed down when noon came, thanks to the snowstorm in the area. At the same time, he got a bit pissed since Roan didn't inform him of that… maybe the guys who joined his camp forgot to mention the freaking below-zero snowstorm.
After equipping some weapons that increased his spirit, Zack began to feel better, but the snow getting in his clothes, even on the fur of the ice wolves, made things really annoying.
"I really should have turned these into a coat a long time ago," Zack thought.
Zack kept a flame moving around him to improve the temperature, but without his skills, event that wasn't helping much. He could only imagine how the people in the camp should be having a hard time enduring the cold.
