Chapter 269: Chapter 269 - thundersnow vs sun

After an entire day of sleeping and recovering, Erik slowly opened his eyes while in the arms of his two beautiful wives.

He started the day with a smile. He was excited to test out the power of his new affinity, both in combat with Astrid, and as a tool for smithing after learning the Frostvolt technique.

'Previously, Astrid and I mostly fought using our physical prowess, but I'm excited to see how thundersnow will hold up against sun, since they're both rank four affinities,' he thought to himself curiously.

He was in no hurry, however, and decided to wait a little longer until Emma and Elora had both woken up.

Luckily, it didn't take long for the two to stir.

In fact, Elora likely was never truly asleep in the first place. She needed to keep an eye on Eira and the sigils in this place, after all. She did get her rest, of course, but never truly enough to recover. Her predicament was part of the reason why Erik was pushing hard to make Eira's medium as fast as possible.

"Good morning, Master!" exclaimed the ever chipper Emma while kissing his cheek.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Erik just heard a tired and grumpy groan. "Not so loud! I'm going to continue resting…" after saying so, she quickly disappeared into a cloud of lights, and was absorbed into Erik's body.

While sending soothing feelings towards Elora through their bond, he turned to Emma and kissed her forehead. "Good morning, Emma."

Emma first giggled due to his kiss, but suddenly exclaimed joyfully, "Can you show me again?!"

Erik rolled his eyes, but also chuckled and raised his hand. In mere moments, that same orb with a raging and thundering snowstorm once again took shape.

"It's so beautiful…" Emma mumbled as she stared at the orb in awe. "So this is what a fourth tier affinity looks like…"

Erik raised an eyebrow in amusement. "You do know your light affinity is fifth tier, right? Plus, Astrid's sun affinity is fourth tier as well."

Without taking her eyes of the orb, Emma shrugged uncaringly. "Yeah, well, the light affinity looks boring and emotionless, while I see the sun every day. This looks beautiful, though!"

"Guess I can't argue with that," Erik chuckled. "But if you've had your fill, I do believe we both have things to do today."

"Okay then," Emma pouted sadly and took one last look at the orb, before Erik closed his fist and the orb disappeared.

Erik smiled at her sad face and gave her a comforting peck on the lips, before jumping out of bed.

Before he could take a step, dark green energy flashed, and clothes draped themselves over his naked body.

Over the last seven years, conjuring clothes for Erik at the appropriate times had become more of a reflex than conscious effort on Elora's part.

Emma put on her own maid clothes, and soon, they made their way to the training room together.

There, they split up, with Emma going back to training and advancing her light affinity towards the second rank, and Erik walking towards the fighting stage in the middle.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Astrid was already waiting for him there. An excited grin hung on her lips.

Erik grinned back at her and jumped on top of the stage while saying, "So since this fight obviously won't count for making me call you big sister, do you want to bet on something else?"

Since he still needed time to consolidate his thundersnow affinity, there was a good chance Astrid's sun affinity would beat him for the simple reason that his affinity was still technically at rank one. Something he knew Astrid would never truly accept.

She would only want him to call her big sister if she beat him while they were both at full power.

"Of course!" Astrid nodded excitedly. "Any suggestions?"

She knew Erik, and realized he already had something in mind.

"How about the loser pleasures the winner later?" Erik suggested while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Immediately, Astrid lost some of her momentum as a small blush appeared on her cheeks. Still, she coughed a little and nodded, "F— Fine…" Despite her clear embarrassment, there was a flicker of expectation, as well as an increased desire to win.

Over the last few weeks, during Erik's rare breaks, he and Astrid had met up a few times, during which they continued the physical relationship Erik had started not long after they came here.

It hadn't come very far yet, but Erik had used his hands to make her cum a few more times, and Astrid had even done the same to him once.

Remembering the embarrassed look on Astrid's face she had that day instantly made his dick stir a little.

And he really wanted to see it again.

Still, he was fully prepared to lose this match, and had an interesting idea in mind if he did.

With the bet agreed upon, Astrid quickly found her confidence and fighting intent again.

"So I guess we'll just pit our strongest abilities against each other?" she asked excitedly.

Naturally, for Astrid, that currently meant her sun beam ability. For Erik, on the other hand, that meant the ability he had fused from the concussive lightning and ice shrapnel blasts.

An ability he hadn't used before, but didn't doubt had the highest destructive power amongst those he had access to.

Of course, this wasn't exactly a scientific method, or in any real way an indication of the power difference between thundersnow and sun. But that was fine. This was just for fun anyway.

"Sounds good," Erik grinned, while the two of them moved to a distance of about thirty meters (~100 feet) between them.

At the same time, Erik quickly changed to his werewolf form, as he might need to defend himself against Astrid's attack.

Not that this would be particularly dangerous. The sigils surrounding this place would intervene if anyone's life was actually in danger.

They stared at each other for a moment longer, brimming with fighting intent, before Astrid's grin widened and her crimson eyes suddenly began dissolving into burning orange orbs.

At the same time, Erik raised his chin and opened his wolfish maw wide. A raging white orb, with lightning flickering over its surface, slowly formed within the cavernous depths of his werewolf form's mouth.

The original ice shrapnel blast was a breath attack, and this new spell seemed to have taken that same approach. Unfortunately, he did not have the proficiency required to launch it in a different way just yet.

Not that he minded this way, but versatility was important.

When he and Astrid were done charging their abilities, they both roared. Erik's thundersnow blast left his mouth and, with a thundering sound, flew towards the vampire girl on the other side.

At the same time, two short beams left Astrid's eyes, and traveled in the opposite direction, straight at Erik's attack.

With no more control over the situation, the two of them could now only look at the result with excitement while inwardly cheering for their own attack.

It took less than a second for the two attacks to meet in the middle. Here, they stalled for a moment.

Ice cold lightning crackled. Orange beams fizzled.

Then, an explosion.

*Boom*
