Aster saw that they were trying to win him in a raw strength competition and he inwardly sighed.
“These two didn’t listen to me at all”, he thought, then the armor on his left arm separated from his body and increased its size transforming into a four-meter large and one-meter-wide armored golden arm, well more accurately it was just a giant arm armor united by golden light instead of flesh.
With a thought, the giant arm attacked Aria making her step back to avoid being crushed by it, then having lost the support of Aria, Aster easily overpowered Alice.
“Haaa!”, with a loud shout Aster pushed his sword forward making Alice fly towards the ground, clashing against the ice.
“Booom!”, as Alice’s body clashed against the glacier, the latter exploded into a lot of pieces, maybe she wasn’t as physically strong as Aster since she only got the paragon body a few days ago, but her defense was no joke.
So even after being smashed against the ground, it only took her a split of a second to get out of all that debris, completely unscathed on top of that.
That being said, the corners of her skirt were a bit worn out due to the impact, which made her pout.
“Come on, when I say that I like when you tear my clothes apart, I didn’t mean this!”.
Aster chuckled while Aria was speechless.
“Can’t you control your horniness for a moment?”, said Aria as she shook her head.
Although this was supposed to be a serious fight, even Aster couldn’t help but enjoy these dumb interactions with the girls, it reminded him all the things that happened when they met, Alice’s jealousies back then, how Aria started being more attached to him to the point that she started living with them.
Alice saw her brother lost in his thoughts and she giggled, her image flashed as she used lightning step to reach her maximum speed.
In a matter of milliseconds, she appeared in front of her brother and swayed the flat part of her sword at him with a playful smile, but then when her sword made contact with “Aster” she lost her balance, the sword passed through his body without any resistance.
Alice felt a chill running down her spine when she felt a rather familiar presence behind her, but before she could react a palm with a huge amount of impulse smacked her ass.
“Hyaaa~”, a loud pitched sound filled the area, Alice immediately put some distance between Aster and her as she rubbed her butt with her hands while she gave her brother an aggrieved gaze.
Aster chuckled, but inwardly he felt his hand slightly numbed, Alice is a body cultivator and she has the paragon body too, although she hasn’t been able to integrate it to her bloodline like him, since she only got it a few days ago, when she didn’t suppress herself like right now, her body is quite tough.
So, although her bouncy elastic ass was still a delight for the touch, his hand felt a bit hot due to the slapping force.
Aster closed and opened his hand a couple of times as if he was savoring the aftertaste of Alice’s supple perky ass.
Then as he smiled from ear to ear, Aster snapped his fingers and a large barrier covered the whole area, if he was going to play like this with the girls of course he would make sure that others can’t see them.
“I told you, the only way for you to defeat me is working together, even if you are going to do a surprise attack, without Aria’s help it’s not going to reach me… I was the one that taught you lightning step after all”.
As Aster finished speaking, lightning started crackling on his feet and after his image trembled, under the surprised eyes of Alice and Aria a second Aster appeared in front of them, but then after a close look they both pointed at the Aster that just appeared before saying.
“You are the real one!”.
Aster wasn’t surprised that they saw through the little trick he did, just like how he could immediately notice that creature which tried to supplant Alice back at Prasil, they noticed even the smallest details which others would be oblivious of, like the naturally manly scent of their lover and even the way that his hair is usually accommodated.
Anyway, now Alice understood how could her sword simply pass through “Aster”, all the techniques Lilia provided to their children were of the maximum quality possible, lightning step is a peak immortal movement spirit technique.
“You mastered the first level of the lightning step, “Mirage” … as expected of my beloved brother!”.
Even if it wasn’t good for them right now, Alice couldn’t help but feel proud of her brother, just like how sword intents and the like have levels and there is trait developed in each one, some spirit techniques are the same, once you master them past a certain point there will be a “reward”.
In this case Aster managed to master the first of the three levels contained in the lightning step technique, which basically allows him to create an after image which moves along with him, like a mirror, still it was a mere after image without any mass but something like this can save one’s life in a critical moment.
Although it might not sound incredibly useful like other techniques Aster have, it’s only normal, the three levels of lightning step each correspond to the major divisions, meaning that besides practicing the technique, there is a requirement for cultivation in this case the user must be on the earthly realms.
Both Asters smiled, lightning covered their legs as they flashed towards the girls, Alice and Aria exchanged gazes before they flew towards the other, failing once due to being stubborn is acceptable but doing it twice it’s just stupidity.
This time Aster changed the tactic, seeing that Aria was no wary of the paragon body and since he couldn’t hide it from the star maidens, he changed the giant armored arm back to cover his own arm and instead used his sword to attack her.
“Ouch!”, Alice suddenly covered her forehead with her hand feeling as if her brain was shaking, although Aster’s annihilation wouldn’t hurt them, the soul attack still made her stop for a split of a second.
A gap which Aster took advantage of… to attack Aria one more time, with his sword this time.
“Whooosh!”, the sound of air being split apart echoed through the place as Aria managed to dodge the blade of the sword, soul cultivators have better reaction times compared to those that walk in the other paths.
Instead of being worried that his attack missed, Aster smiled, taking advantage of the momentum he let his body roll on the air, making a second attack with his sword which Aria tried to fend of by moving backwards a few centimeters.
“Step back ice princess, he is using sword intent!”.
Having more or less recovered from the headache she was feeling, Alice screamed at the top of her lungs.
Aria’s pupils widened, noticing she wasn’t going to make it on time blue flames exploded in front of her and shield made of Rigel’s flames blocked the attack, or at least that was the idea, the impact of the collision made the shield shatter.
“Slash!”, the tip of Aster’s sword didn’t even touch Aria’s skin… her clothes on the other hand weren’t that lucky, Aria flew backwards until she felt she was out of the reach of Aster’s sword.
But unlike her previous perfectly tidied self the upper left side of her dress which covered her left breast was now hanging from it, revealing her pale fairy-like skin and the light blue bra which was tightly clad around that soft pair of mountains.
Aster evaluated her now uncovered body as if he was appreciating a beautiful portrait, there were some cute laces decorating it on the front, clearly, she chose it for the occasion.
Aria didn’t even bother to look at the place where the sword should have cut her, there was no way that Aster would actually wound her, on the other hand she also blushed a bit feeling the cold air from the glacier touching her bare skin.
“Mm?”, Aster noticed a slight change in the atmosphere, he turned to see Alice and noticed that the red tone of her eyes was now brighter, although her expression wasn’t violent nor lustful.
“You too… it seems mom already taught you how to do it”, he mumbled, that’s right just like Lilia, Alice also now seemed somewhat able to control the excitement periods for her own advantage.
Do not look down on Alice just because the reaction she has towards Aster’s lineage seems to be lesser compared to her mother, in the scale the strength is the same it’s just that Alice is less affected because her bloodline is more immature compared to Lilia.
Alice looked at Aria which didn’t bother to cover the exposed area of her chest, just to see her smirking at her.
“You little…”, Alice felt her blood boiling, but she quickly regained her control earning a recognition nod from Aster, enduring the emotional outburst from a dragon lineage is no joke after all.
Seeing that Alice has started to take things seriously, Aria took a deep breath and then a thin frost mist started to leak from her body.
For the first time since the fight started Aster frowned, there was a slightly sweet scent in the air, something that others which haven’t had Aria in their embrace wouldn’t notice even if they were affected by it.
Aster looked at his hand in which little signs of froze started to appear, he clenched his fist making the little shards of black ice to crack and separate from his hand, but hen he also noticed that his body felt a bit stiff.
Aria smiled happy to see the results of her training, although she treasured the power that the star granted her, that didn’t mean that she would only rely on that, just like how Aster has mastered sword intent and the first level of lightning step, this is the characteristic she learned from her cultivation manual after becoming a peak stage stellar constellation cultivator, which she was now able to use more skillfully after her advance.
“Bewitching Black Snow”, said Aria with a charming smiling expression.
