A few hours later, Erik and Astrid were standing next to Astrid's bed. Astrid looked embarrassed and a little frustrated, while Erik looked amused and excited. "I can't believe I let you talk me into this…" Astrid mumbled as she palmed her own face. As a result of their earlier bet, she was now about to do something extremely embarrassing that she had never done before. "You're the one who agreed to the bet, and then insisted our clash ended in a draw," Erik chuckled and decided to start things of by getting undressed. "Ugh," Astrid groaned, "don't remind me. What was I thinking?" Having lost his clothing and with his impressive body now being on full display, Erik lay down on his side casually and propped up his head using one of his arms while looking at Astrid teasingly. "You simply can't accept a victory without it being flawless. It's both a good and bad quality. Although, in this case, I definitely would consider it good." Next he beckoned Astrid while grinning eagerly at her, "Now how about you lose those clothes and join me?" Astrid sighed and resisted the urge to hit him. Despite her frustration, however, she slowly started undressing. There was a healthy blush on her cheeks, as she thought back to how she ended up in this situation.

Unfortunately for Erik, the winner of that clash was quickly determined when the orange beams left the dust cloud and continued on their way towards him. Erik cursed under his breath, and quickly reacted. He activated his second thundersnow ability, the thundersnow armor rune. In less than the blink of an eye, his body was encased in a snow white armor, crackling with icy lightning. At the same time, Erik felt his body become lighter and more powerful as the enhancement part of this ability boosted his physical stats. His muscles screamed and he barely managed to move a few inches to the side when the beams struck his right shoulder. He roared as the right side of his body jerked back and pain shot through his nerves. Luckily, the previous clash had reduced much of the beam's power, while Erik's thundersnow armor and Runebound body also got in the way. In the end, the beams only created two deep, but relatively nonthreatening wounds. At the same time, a female scream was heard from the other side of the cloud. Erik wasn't too worried since the sigils were working, but he still frowned and ignored the pain to sprint through the dust cloud.

She had been pushed back a little, and many small cuts had appeared on her body, but she looked fine otherwise. They both noticed the other's wounds and seemed surprised. "What happened?" they both asked in confusion and at the same time, previously thinking they had lost. As an answer to their question, Elora appeared on Erik shoulder with amused smirk, "I can answer that!" Naturally, she had watched the whole thing with omnisense and knew exactly what happened. Seeing she had their attention, Elora continued with a shrug. "The actual clash of power was, perhaps unsurprisingly, won by Astrid. Her ability has a higher penetrative power and her understanding of the sun affinity is far more profound than Erik's current understanding of thundersnow." Despite her wounds, that naturally caused Astrid to look smug, while Erik sighed in defeat. Elora wasn't done, however. "But Erik's ability clearly has a high potential for destruction, as even after exploding it wasn't done yet. It launched a massive amount of small, electrified grains of snow at Astrid, peppering her in small wounds. If her defensive power wasn't so high, or the power behind Erik's attack was higher, the sigils might have needed to step in to prevent her from dying due to the massive amount of tiny holes they would have created." "I can vouch for that," Astrid grumbled, losing her smug look, but now looking impressed instead. "That ability is very powerful." Now it was Erik's turn to look smug and chuckle a little. 'Guess I made the right choice in combining ice shrapnel and lightning blast.' It wasn't uncommon for a fused ability to be particularly powerful, as they usually had multiple characteristics, while naturally occurring abilities were generally simpler. In this case, his new ability had combined the shrapnel part, and the concussive blast part, of the previously separate abilities. Unfortunately, Erik did feel pretty drained, as this was clearly a powerful, but also energy heavy ability. Before he could think more on this, however, there was an important decision to be made. Erik looked at Astrid with an amused eyebrow raised. "So who won?" "I'll leave that up to you two," Elora shrugged, before disappearing into Erik's body again. Astrid sighed, "Well, even though I won the clash, I refuse to take this as a victory. Call it a draw?" "Well, if you insist," Erik grinned, as a very interesting idea suddenly entered his mind. "But than what about our bet?" Astrid didn't like the look in his eyes, and nervously suggested a solution, "We could just call it of?" "We could," Erik nodded, despite the grin on his face suggesting something very different. "But I believe I have a far better idea!" ———————— Now, a few hours later, after sigils and time had healed their relatively superficial wounds, Astrid was undressing next to an excited Erik who watched Astrid's flawless body being slowly exposed to open air. He was growing harder by the second. When she was done, she didn't hide any part of her body, despite the heavy blush on her face. Instead, she hid her embarrassment by glaring at Erik, despite the carefully hidden lust in her eyes. "Now what?" "Now you lie on top of me," Erik grinned suggestively. "Put your pretty little pussy above my face, and lets see what happens." It was time to take his relationship with Astrid to the next level with a classic 69 maneuver.
