C31 (1/2)

After an unknown period of time … on an island's coastline.

”Cough, cough, I thought I was going to die!” Bedivere lied on the beach and coughed continuously, spitting out salty sea water and all kinds of seaweed impurities.

”Are you all right?” Kaye got up and called out. He looked miserable, his armor damaged and washed away by the current, leaving behind a wet shirt that showed the muscular muscles of his chest. His short red hair was covered with beach sand, ice, and seaweed chips, making him look like an old man in a suit.

Bedivere turned and looked for Arthur. He looked around and saw the Knight Arthur quietly lying on the beach, not moving at all.

”… …” It was like a corpse!

”Arthur, Arthur!?” ”Werewolf Boy shook his master, but Silver Knight did not reply.

Arthur no longer breathed, his entire body was ice-cold and his face ashen.

”Go away, don't touch him!” Kai pushed Bedivere away and quickly checked on his condition. Arthur was currently in shock, and due to lack of oxygen, his entire body had turned a deep purple. The situation was already dangerous to the point where he could not be neglected! He hurriedly gave Knight Arthur a few external pressures, and upon seeing no reaction, he once again gave him some artificial breathing.

Still not.

Kai was shocked. He raised his right fist and used all his strength, punching Arthur in the chest.

”Pu!”

”Cough, cough cough cough …!” Knight Boy spat out a mouthful of seawater and recovered his breath.

”Woo — —” Arthur complained in a low voice, ”Do you want to save me, or kill me? ”I feel like I've broken a few of my ribs --”

”If you still have the strength to complain, that means there's no problem.” Kay laughed disapprovingly.

Arthur had just returned from the border of death, but his consciousness was recovering faster than his body. He clambered to his feet, clutching his aching chest, spitting seaweed from his mouth. ”What is this place?” ”

”I don't know.” But it's so cold here, I think we must be drifting north along the ocean current, and we're already very close to the Iceisland, maybe even at the Iceisland. Kaye studied the grayish black sand on the beach.

”But can we talk later?” ”I'm freezing,” Bedivere said, shivering as he hurried to Kaye's side to warm himself. ”

Arthur and his group were extremely lucky. It only took them about ten minutes to find a small cave on the coast.

The cave was not big, but it was enough for the three of them to get into shelter from the wind and snow. Its basalt walls were salty with seawater, but clean and comfortable. Kay had built blocks of ice and snow around the entrance to the cave, so that she could keep out the storm as much as she could while ensuring the supply of oxygen.

Bedivere trembled as he wrung off his clothes. He shook his body like a little dog, trying to shake off the water on his body. Water splashed all over Arthur's face, Arthur really wanted to punch him, but he was completely weak and had no choice but to give up.

Arthur curiously asked, ”I thought Werewolf Race were very resistant to the cold? ”

Eskimo lived in the coldest and harshest place on Earth, the Frozen Plains of Siberia. This sort of coldness shouldn't be considered anything to them, right?

”As long as your fur isn't wet, yes.” ”Werewolf Boy had half dried his body, so it wasn't that cold anymore. The hair on his body was stuck in a ball, making him look very funny.
