It was impossible to see more than a few dozen meters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the sharp wind that howled across the plains, the entire region was steeped in a deadly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric walked across the ice-covered ground, draped in an ordinary black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was distant, lost in thought, seemingly unbothered by the biting cold that cut through flesh like invisible blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind tugged at his robe and lashed against his pale skin, yet he showed no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of his steps produced a faint crunch against the frozen surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, movement stirred within the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was nothing more than a vague shadow shifting in the distance. After a few seconds, a massive shape emerged into view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, what had once been a salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature was unmistakably dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icicles clung to its enormous body, and its once-vibrant scales had turned a lifeless white, drained of all color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost coated its limbs, and its eyes were hollow and unseeing. Yet it moved with unnatural precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Undead Frost Salamander approached Fenric and lowered its massive body in silent obedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric stepped forward without hesitation and climbed onto its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead creature turned and surged forward, racing deeper into the Frostbitten Tundra with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, they arrived before a massive fissure in the frozen earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without slowing, the Undead Frost Salamander dove into the chasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they descended, the temperature dropped even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls of the fissure were slick with ice, and jagged formations jutted out like frozen teeth. The darkness thickened as they moved deeper underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would have imagined that the hideout of the Slave Trade Guild was concealed within such a deadly, frozen wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After traveling several dozen meters below the surface, they reached the bottom of the fissure and entered a concealed cave system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the environment changed dramatically. Though still cold, the air was more stable. Torches burned along the walls, casting flickering light across rough stone surfaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Awakeners stood guard within the cave, wrapped in thick robes and layers of beast fur to shield themselves from the chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader...\" they greeted respectfully when they saw Fenric mounted on the undead salamander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric did not respond. He dismounted smoothly from the creature’s back and landed lightly on the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are the preparations?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone was the earlier indifference in his tone. His voice was solemn and resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader, everything has been prepared,\" a woman answered promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a Level 16 Warrior, her posture rigid with discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" Fenric replied with a slight nod. \"No matter what happens, I am not to be disturbed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across them, cold and final.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Leader,\" they answered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric turned and proceeded deeper into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Awakeners watched his departing figure with expressions of reverence and unwavering loyalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might call him evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might condemn his methods and curse his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to them, Fenric was their hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who would lead them beyond weakness and into dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That belief burned within them with unshakable conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the deepest part of the cave stood a massive stone door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Fenric approached, mechanisms within the wall rumbled, and the heavy slab slid aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered and sealed the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber beyond was vast, an underground laboratory illuminated by rows of eerie lanterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent inside was thick and metallic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of large drums filled with blood were arranged across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the left stood shelves lined with glass jars. Each jar contained preserved body parts, both human and beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Livers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Organs of every kind floated in murky preserving fluids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the chamber stood several experimental tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One table was covered with freshly dissected human corpses, their incisions still raw and wet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another held the shriveled remains of beasts long dead, their flesh dried and cracked with age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one corner, a massive cauldron bubbled violently. Inside it churned a mixture of beast blood and human blood, thick and dark red, releasing a pungent stench that saturated the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric approached the cauldron and studied it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching toward a nearby shelf, he retrieved a small bottle. Inside was a silvery liquid that shimmered faintly in the dim light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He uncorked it without hesitation and poured the entire contents into the boiling mixture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the cauldron reacted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boiling intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thick bubbles burst at the surface, splattering droplets across the floor. The red blood began to shift in color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then darker purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the hue deepened until the liquid became completely black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the lingering metallic scent, it would have been impossible to guess that the substance had once been blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He removed his robe, revealing his thin, pale body beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely naked, he inhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stepped into the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tortured scream tore from his throat as the black liquid made contact with his skin. The pain was immediate and overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body convulsed, veins bulging violently across his forehead and neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he did not retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth, he began chanting an incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air within the chamber shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unseen presence seemed to descend upon the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful wind swept through the underground laboratory, though there were no openings through which air could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A suffocating pressure filled the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several glass jars shattered simultaneously, exploding into fragments. Preserving liquid splashed across the floor, and severed body parts fell and rolled across the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric remained focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued chanting with relentless determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin began to blister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then peel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chunks of flesh sloughed away, dissolving into the black liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair fell out in clumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice rose higher, reaching the most critical portion of the incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his eyes rolled backward, and his pupils vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body shook violently within the cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of his skin had fallen away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his skeleton remained standing in the black liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, his organs were still intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They clung to his skeletal frame, fully formed and functioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were no longer red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had turned completely black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to stretch endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without warning, his skeletal form jerked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head snapped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eye sockets, once empty, now glowed with a pitch-black darkness deeper than midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a terrifying sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric gasped repeatedly for air, his ribcage rising and falling rapidly. He struggled to climb out of the cauldron, his skeletal limbs trembling as they bore his weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed briefly onto the stone floor but forced himself upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With slow, staggered movements, he dragged himself toward the far end of the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, embedded into the wall, stood a slab of pure ice the height of a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its surface was smooth and polished, resembling a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenric stopped before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he stared at his reflection, a skeletal figure with blackened organs and hollow eyes filled with darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he reached into his inventory and withdrew a bone dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it...\" he murmured inwardly, his resolve unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could delay no longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything depended on this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking another steady breath, he began chanting a different incantation.
