Meanwhile, within the Corroded Zone, Grey was still thinking of a way to escape the intangible gaze of the unknown hidden entity lurking in the depths of the Zone when he suddenly felt a profound change occur.
The entire Corroded Zone seemed to tremble ever so slightly.
Everywhere suddenly became colder.
It was as if an icy current of air had seeped out from the innermost depths of the Zone, slowly spreading outward and enveloping everything in its path. The temperature dropped by several degrees in an instant, and the atmosphere began to closely resemble that of a land buried beneath endless snow.
Even the bizarre trees and plants scattered throughout the surroundings seemed to be affected.
Their strange branches swayed gently as they leaned away from the direction of the cold breeze, as though they instinctively wished to distance themselves from whatever had released it.
The change was subtle, yet strangely terrifying.
There was no storm.
No violent fluctuation of energy.
