Dungeon of Niflheim

Once the cocoons were finished Dark let out a repressed breath before smiling gently at the two shocked guardians.

"Relax, they\'ll be fine. I\'m sure they\'ll still be able to enjoy whatever you two promised them hahahaha." Dark laughed mockingly causing the two girls to blush.

"T…T….Technically he didn\'t win so I don\'t need to give it up." Izuna tried to worm her way out of her promise, her body squirming and her eyes looking into the distance as she did. Her actions only drew Maya\'s curiosity.

"Really? What on Nova did you actually promise him?" She really, really wanted no, needed to know.

"None of your business!" Izuna snapped back at her friend and rival, determined that she\'d be the last person she\'d ever tell.

"Oh come on be a friend, I\'ll tell you all about my promise as well the things Frost, and I get up to in our free time." Maya was absolutely determined to get the answer out of Izuna even to the extent of blabbing about her own secrets. Thanks to Frost\'s frequency and the inclusion of Daki she\'d long lost a lot of her shame when it came to lewd activities.

A stark contrast to her inexperienced self from several months ago.

Maya continued to pester her friend, whispering in her ear with tempting offers and placing her hands on her body in a teasing manner as she guessed what the reward could be.

Dark meanwhile was thinking back on his choice of guardians. Was teaming up Maya and Izuna with Frost and Indra really the right call. According to his initial evaluations and knowledge of their personalities he suspected that they\'d get along, but this was a bit much and far too soon. His gaze then wandered over to the black cocoons holding his sons.

\'It must have been their doing, I\'m sure they\'re the ones responsible for corrupting these two girls.\' He instantly blamed his sons for the changes in Maya and Izuna.

A few minutes later, after Maya finally got the answer she was looking for thanks to her incessant pestering and asking of Dark to cover his ears so Izuna could safely reveal her shame, the black cocoons containing Frost and Indra started fracturing. Bright divine light escaped the cracks before the black shells dissipated revealing the undamaged forms of Frost and Indra.

The two woke up immediately in confusion and inspected their bodies. Finding not a single wound they turned to their father and guardians.

"Ehhh why\'s your face so pink?" Frost asked the moment he saw Maya\'s blushing cheeks.

"N…N...Nothing." She squeamishly replied, her gaze repeatedly drifting towards Izuna\'s magnificent rear.

"Hit hum!" Dark loudly coughed so as to steer the conversation in a more graceful manner. "That was quite the duel my sons, especially the last bout, very enjoyable to watch indeed." Dark nodded his head and showed a wide smile. "Not the end I was expecting but sometimes the unexpected is more interesting."

Frost and Indra looked at one another before tilting their heads to the side. They both passed out the moment after saying \'lucky hit\' so the victor was still unknown to them.

"Who won old man?" Indra loudly questioned as he started remembering the reward promised by Izuna. The young celestial fox felt the intense desire in his tone and shivered, biting her lower lip as she struggled to look directly at her charge.

"Geez! You\'re the only one that refers to me as \'old man\' Indra why can\'t you be more lovable like one of your sisters." Dark shook his head in disappointment. His daughters were much cuter than his sons.

"Tch it\'s a term of endearment old man now tell us who won the duel." Indra brushed off his father\'s complaint and continued to hound him for an answer.

"Please father we need to know." Frost joined his brother in their request, the look in his eyes only slightly less fervent than Indra\'s.

"Haaaaaaa can you not be so obvious with your desires. Here I am trying to be all civil in regards to this official duel yet all you two can do is think with your lower halves. Why are my sons like this, what did I do to deserve this." Dark continued to loudly complain, slightly embarrassing Maya and Izuna but the boys were having none of it.

""Who won!"" They asked again with aura suffused into their words. They couldn\'t have been any more obvious.

"A DRAW!! IT WAS A DRAW OK!!!" Dark snapped, roaring the answer before showing a mocking smirk.

\'Hahahaha with no winner there\'s no reward for either of you hahahaha!!\'

Dark\'s revelation took a few seconds to sink in.

"…A draw…" Frost and Indra blinked their eyes repeatedly and looked towards their guardians for confirmation. After seeing them nod their head their gazes focused on the floor beneath before….

"DAMNNITT!!!!!" Frost screamed at the top of his lungs and punched the ground with unrestrained fury.

"WHY THE FUCK IS IT A DRAW! Now neither of us gets rewarded!" Indra also punched the ground with great force before falling to his knees in despair. If the last ditch encouragement from their guardians never happened they\'d likely be celebrating such a result, hell they may have even hugged while leaping up and down. Now however they only felt dispirited and robbed.

The promise of riches dangled before them only to be snatched away at the last moment, proving their efforts worthless.

Dark watched this debacle with twitching lips, his frustration growing at an alarming rate. He couldn\'t come to grips with the fact that two people who seemingly lived for battle and had so much fun with their duel were falling into despair just because they lost the chance to engage in certain lewd acts with their guardians. It was an insult to the duel they just took part in.

He refused to let this stand.

Bonk! Bonk!

""OW!"" Dark rattled his fists against their heads with a sufficient amount of force.

"You two stop this nonsense right now. Starting acting like respectable men or I promise I won\'t be as lenient with the next blow." A dark swirl of energy wrapped itself around Dark\'s fist, making for quite the intimidating sight.

In response to his threat the two dungeon cores wallowing in despair shivered in fear as their hearts warned them of overwhelming danger. Their dad wasn\'t kidding.

Fearing the promise of further pain the two of them rose to their feet and faced their old man with nervous expressions.

"It seems the two of have forgotten everything else in leu of private rewards hmph! Did the two of you not enjoy testing your skills against one another? Did you not enjoy the thrill of the fight? The chance to push yourselves beyond what you thought was possible.

Were those wild smiles of yours a lie?" Dark spoke with intense gravitas instinctively making his sons tremble before him, struggling to meet his disappointed gaze.

""...Sorry father"" Eventually the two young men apologised with their heads down, feeling rather foolish about their actions. How could they completely forget the joy and exhilaration they felt as they clashed against one another because of a few choice words from their guardians. Their sights thus drifted towards the women standing by Dark\'s side with awkward expressions.

"Don\'t you dare lay the blame on those two. You two were the ones who acted like a pair of brats after hearing the duel\'s results!"

""Ugh! Sorry father"" They were forced to apologise again. Dark\'s fists were still shrouded in that black energy as if waiting for another opportunity to smack them.

"Hehehe" Maya and Izuna failed to fully restrain their giggling thus drawing Dark\'s ire away from his sons.

"Don\'t think you two are completely innocent in this debacle. If you two hadn\'t promised something so tempting these two idiots wouldn\'t have acted so shamefully and ruined an otherwise joyful event."

""Sorry Dark God-sama"" The two guardians quickly found themselves bowing their heads in apology. Perhaps they did go a little too far.

Dark ranted for several more minutes until his disappointment was appeased and he could smile happily again. His kids and their guardians learned their lesson, so it was time to bring an end to this duel.

"Well the initial agreement was that I\'d hand over 10,000DP to the winner while the loser would get a free low rank gatcha spin. The two of you also decided to wage a further 30,000DP of your own reserves on the outcome of this duel. However, there is no winner, nor is there a loser.

Your duel ended in a tie, an unexpected outcome and one that hadn\'t been taken into account when we set up our initial agreement." Dark expressed difficulty, cupping his chin as he thought and paced around the rebuilt arena.

"However it would a great disservice on my part if I didn\'t grant you a single reward after witnessing such a heroic clash, your behaviour afterwards being excluded of course hehehehe." Dark once again mocked his children before coming up with a compromise.

"How about 3000DP each and a free low rank gatcha spin, sound fair."

"Yes father, that sounds very fair." Frost was \'happy\' with Dark\'s offer as was Indra. Something was better than nothing after all.
