"What... What is this?"
It wasn’t just the merchants and guards, even the mages went as white as a sheet upon seeing the sudden appearance of the ice ceiling.
Was this magic?
If so, why weren’t they able to sense any magic oscillation?
Their messy thoughts led them to take a deep breath to calm themselves down. They looked at their surroundings and saw that the camp was still around. There weren’t any blizzards or anything of the sort. However, they also noticed that this ice barricade did not just trap them from above.
The ice wall formed a ring around them, like a pot. The huge ice barricade easily fit all of them.
"What sorcery is this?"
"I… I have never heard of such magic…"
"This isn’t right. Such a large-scale magic would require major magic oscillation and cause elemental changes during casting. Why didn’t I sense anything earlier?"
