Erik's cryptic statement made Nobuntu frown for a moment, but that was all the time she had.
With a sudden roar, he lunged forward again, this time combining Ice Maker with Thundersnow Storm. A tempest of freezing lightning exploded outward, enveloping the immediate area in blinding fury as spikes of ice randomly jutted out from the frozen ground.
Nobuntu, refusing to be overwhelmed, lunged forward into the storm, her Blood affinity flaring dramatically around her. "Blood Reaper," she roared.
Blood erupted from her body in razor-sharp crescents, spinning around her form in a deadly vortex. The sanguine blades sliced through the icy projectiles and clashed fiercely against Erik's elemental storm. Both forces strained against each other in a fierce collision of power, completely upheaving the dirt beneath.
For a brief, charged moment, their eyes met. Surprisingly, there was little anger there. Nobuntu's gaze was stern and calculating, while Erik's was amused.
