Nom looked around awkwardly at Zach's odd way of rejecting the food, but he quickly moved on and told Zach what he had been ordered to tell him.
The Hydra was sealed on the thirtieth floor. Isuls had used the floor's environment to restrict the Hydra's powers and limit its activity as much as possible. That was why the thirtieth floor diverged from the rest of the section of the Labyrinth.
Up the twenty-ninth floor, the temperature only continued to drop, and the blizzard grew worse. But on the thirtieth, it was like stepping into spring. All the cold had been used to seal the Hydra.
That meant all of it would be re-released alongside the Hydra.
Anyone there to see it happen but not prepared for it would turn into an ice cube before they knew what was happening to them.
Zach didn't have any plans on ever dropping his barriers, but he appreciated the heads-up.
