Sitting atop an ice-covered boulder, Hubert exhaled a plume of frigid air and rubbed his hands together for warmth.
Despite coating his body in spiritual energy to protect himself from the surrounding ice, his skin still felt the sharp sting of the cold.
"At this rate, we're going to freeze into ice sculptures just like the forest. Why is so much cold emanating from him?"
On his left, the fire phoenix who had transformed into a beautiful young lady clad in a feathery outfit, mimicked his actions and rubbed her hands together.
-"I don't feel much cold because my body naturally resists it. Not to mention, I am bonded to Kyle, so his aura doesn't affect me as much. You can leave if it's getting difficult; I can keep an eye on him."
Hubert sighed and shook his head. He couldn't leave, not when he still couldn't figure out why Kyle wasn't waking up.
