Liam continued to descend into the depths of the mysterious icy pond. The water grew darker as he sank further down, but his vision wasn't hindered, courtesy of [Dark Sight]. However, the cold became worse.
After a certain point, Liam could not hold on any longer. He circulated mana in his body and tried to mitigate the biting cold, but it was like trying to hold back a tidal wave with a stick. It was a different level of cold, one that seemed to seep into his very soul.
