Xavier immediately jumped away from the beast as the frost began covering his body; using his [Wind Stride], he created distance between them, also breaking off the frost coating his body.
Xavier landed a few feet away, shaking off the last bits of ice from his body. His breath was sharp and visible in the freezing air.
The Hydra had stopped moving, its remaining five heads staring at them with eerie stillness.
"Don't stop moving, or you'll end up frozen," Xavier shouted.
Then, without warning, the beast let out a loud, guttural roar.
*ROAR!!*
The ground trembled beneath them as frost rapidly spread across the battlefield, coating the ground in an even thicker layer of ice.
"Move! Don't stop!" Xavier shouted, pushing himself forward before the cold could settle into his limbs.
The Harpy flapped her wings harder, moving away and trying to stay above the icy surface, but even she struggled against the sudden drop in temperature.
