She was a scary opponent to fight against.
However, this is only true for a normal cultivator, in front of a Monster like Nux,
Things were different.
The smoke that spread around the area after the explosion cleared up and Ember narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the scene in front of him with a solemn look on her face.
“Water Element…”
She muttered as she noticed Nux standing in front of her, his entire body was covered with a layer of Water Shield that had cracks all over it, however, Nux, that was protected by the shield was completely fine.
“That was a precise use of [Water Shield], it seems you have practised it well and have good control over your element.
Good.”
Ember praised honestly and Nux chuckled.
Then, he pointed his sword at Ember, his pose was quite similar to Ember’s, thinking that he was taunting her, Ember narrowed her eyes and decided to act again, however, suddenly,
Nux disappeared.
*Clank*
He then appeared right in front of Ember and slashed his sword at her, she blocked his attack with her sword, however, this time, Nux was the one who was overpowering her.
Ember frowned, however, since she was currently in the battle, she didn’t have much time to think and analyse this, therefore, she did what was required and jumped back.
*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*
At the same time, she also shot some Wind Blades at Nux to distract him.
Wind Blades weren’t as strong as Fire Balls, however, they were faster, and dodging one in a battle was troublesome.
Ember’s plan was simple, she wanted Nux to stop there and block all the Wind Blades, and while he is doing at, she would regain her balance and would prepare for her next attack.
This time, however, things didn’t go as she planned and Nux’s next actions surprised Ember to her core.
*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*
Wind Blades formed behind Nux and soon, they were shot towards the Wind Blades made by Ember and the opposing Wind Blades cancelled each other perfectly.
“W-Wind Elements…”
‘He has affinities with two elements as well!’
Ember realized.
However, this was just the beginning.
Nux then appeared in front of her and attacked.
*Clank*
Their swords clashed with each other, and Ember jumped back again, however, while she was jumping back, she noticed that the ground behind her had turned into Sharp Spikes.
“!!!”
Ember’s eyes widened in surprise.
‘Earth Element!’
She couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
Then, she shifted the weight of her body to the other leg and avoided this situation with just a small mark on her shoe.
However, right as she landed on the ground, she felt that the temperature around her has changed. She then looked in front of her and,
“!!!”
Her eyes widened in horror.
A big Wave of Fire was moving towards her!
And she had no way to defend against it!
In the end, Ember could only embrace herself for the impact and swung her sword toward the Flames coming towards her.
*KABOOM*
An explosion sounded, Ember’s body flew back and fell on the ground.
She was hurt, her armour was burnt and was falling apart, her clothes behind her armour had burnt as well, even her white skin had a few marks,
It could be said that her condition was bad, however, she wasn’t done yet.
She still had what it takes to win this fight!
Therefore, Ember moved and then stood up.
Or so she wanted to…Text © owned by .
However, before she could,
A sword was placed on her neck.
Ember then looked at the man who was standing right behind her head,
“That was my strongest Wide Area attack, [Fire Slash], cool right?”
Nux questioned with a small smile on her face and soon, Ember realized something.
“Fire… Fire Element as well…
Water, Wind, Earth and Fire… y-you…
You have an affinity with all four elements!”
Nux’s chuckled,
“I do.”
Ember, however, couldn’t digest this,
“H-How is this possible!
People with affinity with 2 Elements at the same time are rare, I have never heard about someone who has an affinity with 3, how do you have an affinity with all 4 of these elements!?”
“I am a special case.”
Nux’s smile widened and then, he continued,
“Well, a normal person can’t have Ember Windstar all for himself now can he?”
“…”
Ember turned silent and soon, she realized another thing.
She lost…
She lost a battle against an Expert Stage Cultivator…
And as if confirming that fact, Nux smiled,
“Ember Windstar, the opponent’s sword is on your neck, do you accept your defeat?”
With a bitter look on her face, Ember answered,
“I do.”
Nux’s continued with the same smile,
“Winner Takes All,
According to this statement,
I, the winner of the Duel, can demand anything I want, correct?”
“Yes, that is correct…”
Ember answered with a lost look on her face.
She still couldn’t accept her defeat, and in her mind, she was repeating the battle and was trying to find ways to win.
However, Nux’s next actions brought her out of her reverie.
He moved his sword from her neck, then stored it inside his storage ring, then, he extended his hands towards her,
Ember took the hand and Nux pulled her up.
Then, a healing potion appeared in Nux’s hand.
He then looked at Ember and his smile widened,
“Then from now onwards,
You, Ember Windstar, will be mine and mine alone.”
Nux quickly drank the healing potion and then,
“!!!”
He sealed Ember’s lips, bringing her out of her reverie.
Ember then drank the healing potion, directly from Nux’s mouth, once the potion was finished, the two of them started kissing and exchanging their saliva.
Nux’s tongue moved wildly and explored Ember’s mouth while his hands moved towards her butt and he pulled her close to him.
2 minutes later, the Kiss finally ended, and then, Nux questioned,
“Do you accept it?”
“Can I deny it?”
Ember questioned with a playful smile on her face.
“The Loser has no right to deny the Winner’s demand.
From now on, whether you want it or not,
You are mine.”
Nux answered as his golden eyes shined brightly and then, he sealed Ember’s lips again.
This time, Ember reciprocated as well and her tongue moved as well.
Their tongues clashed with each other for supremacy, rolling around and licking each other, Nux, however, cheated and started kneading Ember’s butt.
“Mhf~”
A small, muffled moan leaked out of Ember’s mouth and soon, Nux’s tongue dominated the match.
After sharing a 3 minute-long kiss, the two of them separated and then, Ember smiled,
“You actually won against me, Nux.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Nux’s face.
Hearing the word ‘Boy’ again and again was getting annoying.
He felt that the distance between the two of them was too far, maybe Ember understood that and changed her way of addressing him.
“I told you I would.”
Nux nodded.
“Were you that confident in your strength, or am I just too weak for you?”
Ember questioned.
“…”
Nux didn’t know how to answer this question.
However, Ember wasn’t done yet.
“And why are you stronger than a normal Expert Stage Cultivator? How were you, an Expert Stage Cultivator, were able to push away me, a King Stage Cultivator?
This is just not possible.
Even having an affinity with all 4 elements doesn’t explain this.
Just ho-”
“Don’t bother.”
Suddenly, Ember heard a voice and a frown appeared on her face.
This voice…
She then turned around and there, she saw Thyra leaning on a tree with a casual look on her face.
Seeing that she has gained her attention, Thyra continued,
“Don’t use normal standards to judge him, he is different.”
“W-Why are you here?”
Ember questioned with a flustered look on her face.
Seeing that look, Thyra smiled inwardly.
‘Heh, I can finally get back to you, ‘General’ Ember.’
“Why would I not be here? How can I miss the scene where after which another woman would become my sister?”
Ember’s face turned red.
“Y-You already knew about it?”
“Of course I did. You think my man would hide anything from me?”
Thyra smiled and then continued,
“Woman, the moment you tried to tease him, your fate was sealed.”
“Tsk Tsk, why do you make it sound like I am a bad person.”
Suddenly, Nux snorted.
“You are a bad person, Nux.”
Thyra muttered.
“Why are you acting like you already knew that I would lose this match?”
Suddenly, Ember questioned.
“Huh? Isn’t that obvious? Because I did know about the results already, there is no way you can defeat Nux.”
Thyra answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“Wha-”
Eber wanted to question, however, Nux interrupted.
“Thyra, wear your mask, Ember, wear another Coat, this one is all torn up.”
While saying that, Nux wore his mask.
“Huh?”
Ember frowned, she then looked at Nux before her eyes fell on Thyra, she then realized that Thyra had already covered her face with a mask and was surprised.
She then copied Thyra and did as Nux said.
*Step* *Step* *Step*
Then, Ember, Thyra and Nux heard the sound of footsteps.
Someone was coming towards them.
