V leapt off her shoulder as the creature came through the portal. Thousands of shards jutted from its body in every direction, and a cruel smile split its face.
That smile sent a chill down Jade's spine. "V, be careful. I don't know about him," she cautioned, her voice laced with unease.
Rosa shouted from a distance, "Just focus on killing him quickly! The report clearly indicated he was weak."
Jade answered with sarcasm before she could stop herself. "Yeah, because the reports have never been wrong, right?"
As V unleashed hundreds of ice cycles at the creature, which remained unmoving even as the portal closed behind it, it kept smiling menacingly at the group. The projectiles seemed to strike all across the creature's body without any visible effect.
After a brief moment, V confronted the being, "You're the Predominal Searcher, aren't you?"
