When the outline of that colossal creature “stood” up on the horizon, it felt as if all the oxygen had been sucked from the lungs of the six people. Time froze in that instant. Only their hearts remained, hammering wildly in their chests, each beat striking their fragile eardrums.
It was no living creature. It was a myth, a walking mountain range, a nightmare made flesh that could shatter the faith of any mortal.
Even from thirty kilometers away, through the wind and snow, they could feel its savage, ancient, world-destroying presence. Two scarlet lights at the top of its silhouette, like lanterns beckoning souls from the depths of hell, flashed only briefly, yet were enough to plunge everyone’s soul into an icy abyss.
“The Icefield Titan...” Zheng Tianzhi forced the words out through clenched teeth, his voice so low only he could hear it. His pupils narrowed to dangerous pinpricks, not from fear, but from a tangled mix of hatred, helplessness, and grim inevitability.
He was back, and those nightmares had returned with him. They had appeared even earlier than in his previous life.
“C-Captain... Wh-what is that...?” Xu Yang’s voice trembled uncontrollably. He gripped his entrenching tool so tightly his knuckles turned white, as if it were his only lifeline. The wound on his chest had gone numb in the bitter cold, but the chill in his heart could freeze his soul.
“Fall back! Now! Full speed!”
