Flood stage 2 (part 1)

Sounds of heavy footsteps got louder as berserkers neared the entrance of the cave where Aito stood tall, patiently awaiting his opponents in this accursed freezing weather.

The leather part of his armors kept him moderately warm, however, the metallic pieces absorbed cold and transferred it to his body. Metal was a natural conductor of temperatures. It would conduct any kind of temperature, high or low.
