At the same time there were two though different similar scenes happening at west and north from Daimon's group previous position, let's go with west where a group of four people with water magic beast characteristics such as patches of fish scales on their skin, gills on their necks or fins on their backs and arms, could be seen running through the frozen rocky wasteland.
Unlike Ereth's subordinates, Marcus's ones were pirates or member of the nomad groups that lived in the Maelstrom Sea, they are used to cold and dark environments so moving through this frozen wasteland was like a day in the park for them.
That being said, they weren't in exactly perfect conditions either, as the worn-out parts of their clothes suggested, probably the result of having had to fight with the blood specters after being separated from Marcus and their other companions.
