CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Magic Affinity

Caesar observed the nearby terrain, he couldn't see any trees, mountains, or anything else that could potentially cover them for miles on end.

Caesar furrowed his brows and stroked his chin, to the right of him, Ahri looked at the storm worriedly.

"Will the horses be okay running through it?" She asked curiously.

"Hmm, it should be fine… I'll think of something" Caesar replied with certainty which relieved Ahri.

*whish*

The smell of rainwater and cold winds greeted them as they got closer to the storm, the horses started visibly looking uncomfortable and were clearly reluctant to move forward.

With Caesar behind the reins, however, they still moved quickly, whether they liked it or not.

"Do storms happen often in the dark continent?" Caesar casually asked, as if he was not worried about the upcoming storm one bit.

"Not in particular… but, the temperature is most certainly colder there than it is in Rahvin kingdom"

Caesar nodded his head in understanding… 'it would appear this world is similar to earth with separate time zones, temperature, and terrain depending on the location' Caesar quietly thought to himself.

As they approached the foreboding storm, Caesar squinted his eyes and raised his slender hand… He started to freeze the molecules in the air and slowly form a specific shape.

Slowly, a large slanted object was being formed above the horses and, of course, him and Ahri.

Ahri looked at Caesar suspiciously, "what will this do?" she asked.

Caesar smirked and explained calmly, "the rainwater will hit the slanted ice and fall to the sides of the horses, effectively keeping them dry"

"Won't the ice just melt after a few minutes?" Ahri said with traces of doubt apparent in her eyes.

"That would be correct if I didn't continuously fuel my ice with my mana… Although I agree, It will be quite tiring for me, the horses will stay dry and so will we" Caesar responded.

Ahri nodded her head in acceptance but still carried a reluctant expression, "will you have enough mana? You don't use your magic in fights very often… I had thought that was your weak point" She whispered just quietly enough for Caesar to hear.

Caesar smiled slightly bashfully, "to be completely honest, I had thought my magic was useless…" Caesar said in an embarra.s.sed tone.

He wasn't lying, the last time he used his magic, he could barely form a few spikes… let alone a huge slanted object. The mana he contained was relative to the amount of power he could output, he had not tested his ice element for a very long time.

"Why would you think your magic was useless?" Ahri couldn't help but ask.

Caesar scratched his head, "well, I never had someone to teach me how to use it properly…"

Ahri nodded her head, "that much hasn't changed haha, the way you use your mana is very crude… you just have an excess amount" She giggled softly.

Caesar looked at Ahri curiously, "I move the mana within my body according to the book I read in the past… is that wrong?" he asked.

"Haha, every element is different… because my affinity is fire, my mana is warm while yours is probably cold. Just like each affinity is different, they each have a natural way to move through the body, the way you use your mana is as if you didn't have an affinity in the first place" Ahri explained.

Caesar somewhat comprehended, "so, what is the correct way to utilize my mana the most effectively," he asked.

Ahri's face became troubled, "your affinity is very rare, even the most common magical races, humans and elves can't actually handle the extremely cold temperatures within their body… Because of this, I haven't been educated in the ways of ice magic. You probably need to figure it out yourself" Ahri said in a slightly depressed tone.

Caesar nodded while deep in thought, "do you know of any race or a specific person that can use ice magic?" he asked.

"There used to be ice fairies, unfortunately, their race went extinct the same time the vampires did" Ahri explained.

"Tsk"

Caesar clicked his tongue in displeasure if no one knew how to effectively use ice magic than he would have to learn everything himself to actually make it useful in combat, which took a lot more time.

*pa*

*pa*

*tat*

The sounds of small droplets of water hitting the roof of the carriage temporarily halted their conversation… They should be at the very edge of the storm.

*whish*

The winds were kicking up and the horses involuntarily slowed down a bit, although not much rain was. .h.i.tting then, the wind was still capable of carrying the droplets of water to the horses.

*creak*

Suddenly the window behind both Ahri and Caesar opened up… "is it fokn raining?" a rough voice rang in their ears.

"That would be correct, Joe" Caesar answered.

"G.o.dd.a.m.nit, I hate rain… especially the humid temperature after" Joe grumbled and closed the carriage window.

Caesar shook his head with a wry smile and concentrated on forming new ice where needed. The droplets of water and strong winds actually made it quite hard for Caesar to make the ice stay in place and not swerve.

Fortunately, the sun was hidden behind the dark clouds and didn't speed up the melting process…

They traveled through the storm at a steady pace and beads of sweat started to roll down Caesar's head… He pa.s.sed the reigns to Ahri and fully concentrated on keeping the ice above the horses.

"This was a lot harder than I had initially thought" Caesar couldn't help but complain audibly.

*thump*

Ahri patted Caesar's back and kissed him on the cheek, "you can do it honey!" she said teasingly with a wide smile.

The corner of Caesar's lips twitched, he could feel his arms starting to cramp and get sore… He could tell this would be one h.e.l.l of a b.u.mpy ride at this rate.

Suddenly, an interesting Idea came to Caesar, causing him to smile broadly… "darling, my mana is running out, can I have some of yours" he asked slyly while flas.h.i.+ng his protruding fangs.

Ahri looked at Caesar with surprise and played with her thumbs "y-you can do it without my mana, right?" Ahri asked hesitantly.

Caesar shook his head, "it would appear, that would be impossible" Caesar replied with a faked exhausted tone.

"I-I see…" Ahri scooted closer to Caesar and pulled her dress down ever so slightly… completely revealing her bra.

Caesar raised his eyebrows at the sight and subtly locked the carriage window with ice.

'This trip won't be so bad, after all' he mused to himself.
