"Anger, Drat, what's happening on your end?"
Heard through the commotion in the communication, the mercenary Airen, who walked at the front of the team, immediately tried to ascertain the situation.
"Are you in danger? Give me more details."
"…"
For a moment, the communication went silent.
Afterwards, the somewhat panicked voices from below resumed:
"There's… something down here, I saw something moving inside the ice layer."
"But it disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Airen furrowed his brows and continued:
"Are you sure it's not a trick of the eye? What did the thing roughly look like?"
As a mercenary, he had seen many instances of hallucinations born from fear, and the current environment was prone to inducing such conditions.
