After several hours, Garan had consumed a large amount of energy. His improvised defense area was currently surrounded by various plants, all trying to get a hold of him.
His hands now had two long daggers, cutting the vines and branches trying to approach him through the gaps of his metallic 'shield'. He looked like he was in a one-sided bird cage that was cold to touch.
It was unclear whether these plants felt pain, but the frozen ground around him definitely slowed them down. He did not have to worry about roots or attacks coming from underground, allowing himself to focus on more visible threats.
