After what feels like hours of blood splattering your clothes, you finally reach what looks like the end of another abyss domain. Just as you're about to sheath your sword, you hear a faint, high-pitched squeaking coming from the corner where you'd recently cleared out countless hilichurls. You whip your head around to find... a cryo abyss mage. But this one, to your surprise, has a face and a head of hair, and even an eyepatch. It gargles and floats over to you, seemingly friendly.
