The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV General --

Freya smiled wide as a new energy flowed through her body. She was unrecognizable, her ears had become pointed, her fingernails had lengthened like claws and her previously spiky tattoos now adorned her face with demonic tribal markings. At this moment, the Empress was much more of a demon than a wolf.

"Aaaarg !"

"Lynn, what\'s going on with you ?"

At the sight of her transformation, the succubus, who was also a half-demon race, felt her chest tighten and her head get a violent headache. Nixia who was in front had rushed over to help her but didn\'t know what was going on. Lynn was on the floor, writhing in pain as she responded with difficulty.

"I...aaarg...my blood is aaarg..boiling !"

Her heart was beating so fast that it was pumping her blood at an unbelievable rate, causing that pressure headache. The others had turned around with concern, but strangely enough, within seconds it was over. Lynn stood up again, her face terrified and her body shaking. She didn\'t understand what had happened and the lamia was preparing to question her as a powerful, cold and unmistakable voice roared in the distance.

"Let\'s go !"

Cracking her neck, Freya, still unaware of these physical changes, beckoned the giant Nightmare to approach. He didn\'t speak but was smart enough to understand her every word and with a guttural howl, he wielded his axe. A few minutes ago he had been sent into a wall at the back of the room and his only protection was now in pieces.

"GGRRAAAAAOH !"

As the Demon bellowed, it was his turn to rush at Freya, who waited impatiently for what was to come. This time, the hideous giant was running with apparent rage, creating huge craters under his feet, shoving the pillars, making them crumble ever so slightly. His axe almost above his head, he aimed at Freya and wanted to make her pay for her insolence.

With a quick and powerful gesture, the black weapon spun in her direction and unlike all her other fights, she did not stay still. The Demon\'s blows were far too fast for the she-wolf, who could not risk waiting and dodging at the last moment. She possessed great intelligence, but this monster in front of her was 4 levels higher and having both passed the 35 mark, it was no longer a game.

As the black axe strike was gone, the she-wolf leapt through the air to land on his blade large enough to support her. Without waiting any longer, she ran down the handle and then onto the green, slimy arm of the Demon who was trying to stop her. With his free hand, he beat the air trying to catch her but Freya jumped, leaning on her feet to propel herself forward.

"I\'m here !"

In an almost roaring voice, she had appeared on the Nightmare\'s shoulder before leaping into the void not without lacerating his entire torso with her claws in the process. With a howl of pain, though the wound was not fatal due to his resistance, the creature retracted his pustule-filled tongue like a toad. With a quick movement of his head, he threw it at the Empress who had already landed on the ground in a powerful explosion.

It was then that in the space of a blink of an eye, the monster\'s tongue was cut out instantly without even having time to touch its target. The Demon, while screaming in pain and green and black blood literally flooded the ground, looked at Freya who still wore that terrifying smile. In her hand, her black, drawn sword pointed proudly towards the ceiling while a small white wing hung from its handle, dangling innocently.

The she-wolf, not wanting to be caught a second time, had drawn her sword as fast as lightning to avoid being hit. Blood had splattered on her face and despite the atrocity of the viscous liquid, she was licking her lips without the slightest trace of disgust on her face. The scene was captivating, disgusting and terrifying all at once as Feya disappeared again to continue.

"Is that all you got ?"

Her voice came from everywhere and nowhere at the same time making the monster go crazy. Unable to bear this situation, for the first time he dropped his axe which fell with a deafening crash before raising his arms.

"Oh no I don\'t think so !"

Freya had guessed what he wanted to do and pounced on him but it was already too late. The Demon had joined his hands into a giant fist before hitting the ground in an incredible explosion. This time, the pillars near him collapsed completely and the slabs flew into thousands of large and small pieces.

"Aaargh !"

The she-wolf, who had not arrived in time, was blown away by the sudden blow as she was struck by fragments of hard, cold stone. Not all of them hit her as she crushed them to pieces but some had managed to hit her forehead and left shoulder. Miraculously, the room hadn\'t collapsed on itself as the other pillars still standing though weak, were more numerous but its condition was getting worse.

Lynn, Inferno, the Commanders and Lieutenants were far enough away that they didn\'t have to suffer from the debris, but they understood exactly what had happened. A cloud of dust hid the scene, but before it could form, they had all seen Freya in a bad way, disappearing into that smoke. The soldiers and the Empress\' stallion were no longer holding on, and as some of them began to run, the voice of one of the Commanders rang out.

"Don\'t move ! Her Highness hasn\'t ordered us to do anything yet !"

"But she..."

"Trust her ! Until the Empress asks for our help we are not moving ! We must not interfere with her and rushing to certain death is certainly not part of her plans."

The one who had spoken was obviously Nixia, who at that moment had stopped Ralph, Luna and Thorunn who were the most impulsive of all the Commanders. This battle was far from risk-free and for the moment even if Freya and the Demon were both injured, it wasn\'t fatal. The violence of the clash was such that the soldiers were unable to analyze the strength of the two properly.

For those of them not yet on the level of the she-wolf, it was impossible not to see every blow as deadly and always felt as if the Empress was wounded to death. As the vampire, the half-panther, and the half-wolf half-vampire hybrid had stopped, Persea\'s soft voice rang out.

"Even though this fight is...the most dangerous we\'ve ever seen...her Highness is different. You\'ve all seen her changes so I...look !"

The dryad had cried out without realizing it causing all heads to turn in the direction of the two Demons that were clashing. In the distance, as the dust cleared, a huge green figure appeared and further away was the Empress of Elysium. She stood there, blood as red as her pupils flowed from her temple and her left arm looked sore but against all odds she was still smiling.

"Not bad...tsk !"

She spoke these words as she spat out blood with a haughty look, turning her teeth and mouth an ominous red. The liquid from her head did not stop, yet Freya did not seem to care at all. The blood flowed profusely but without even paying attention, she brandished her katana before charging towards her enemy. The Demon, who was the only one who could see her movements, grabbed blocks of broken slabs to throw at her.

He crushed huge pieces before sending the thousands of debris in the direction of the she-wolf. He was so big and powerful that the dust in his hands was already very dangerous for her. These thousands of small pieces, the size of a human\'s head, shot straight towards the she-wolf, leaving her no way out. Stepping forward without fear, her eyes shining like rubies, her charge remained as fast as ever as she closed her eyes.

"Eyes closed again ?"

"Will she...dance again ?"

The Commanders were watching the scene and had seen her briefly close her eyelids as she had during her fight with Kirk and the adventurers. Even though this action seemed foolish and suicidal, depriving herself of her sight allowed the Empress to concentrate more. She used all her other senses and even seemed to fight better that way when it came to avoiding projectiles or weapons in numbers.

With agility and precision, the Empress made sweeping, powerful movements, shattering every rock that came near her. The larger ones she would leap over, propelling herself ever closer to the Demon, her black hair whipping through the air. Freya used her entire body and the perfect control she had to slide, dodge, jump and destroy. The slightest sound was heard by her ears, the slightest vibration by her entire body, and as incredible as it sounded, nothing could touch her anymore.

The demon she-wolf was no longer smiling because she was far too focused and despite her closed eyes, she seemed to see everything. Projectiles rained down on her endlessly and yet her feet moved with ease, as if carried by the wind as she moved with wild grace. Freya was exploding every bit of her in a sword dance that was both mesmerizing and perfect.

They were coming from all sides, but the Empress was leaning on her hands, throwing powerful kicks, slashing the air, spinning around and sliding with ease. At that moment, he was wounded, she was wounded, but the fight had only become more intense and deadly. Everyone\'s movements were calculated to kill. The Demon was still throwing that debris but to no avail, the ceiling was starting to crumble, the pillars too but nothing could disturb Freya. The dancer of the battlefield was back.

"GRAAAAHH !"

Suddenly, the green giant grabbed a piece of slab as big as his head and threw it straight at her with a terrifying scream. The blast from this huge projectile swept away everything, even the smaller ones in its path, and a strong wind picked up at the same time, forcing the soldiers who could to protect the group by building walls of elements. Freya was facing this rock, to her almost as big as a meteorite but continuing her mad rush.

Wielding her black katana forward, Freya leapt into the air before plunging the dark tip into the stone not without difficulty. The speed and power of the projectile made things complicated but Freya, while uttering an unconscious cry, propelled by her jump, whirled around her blade that she held in her left hand. The more she spun, the more she disappeared in a red and black blur before unhooking the blade and projecting herself even higher.

The Empress had used the spinning speed to gain even more power and speed. As her sword disengaged, the meteor shattered as she was propelled to the height of the ceiling. Freya now hovered over the monster, her face bloodied but her eyes unspeakably cruel. As he moved his arms to intercept her, in a flash the one on the right was suddenly cut while the other was slashed.

"AAAAAAAARRGGG !!"

The Demon had streams of blood flowing from his perfectly severed arm, the severed part of which was rotting on the floor for all to see. Where they were fighting was now a field of ruins immersed in a lake of blood in a room that would soon collapse if the fight continued.

"Tsk...my aim was off !"

The Empress had her eyes open again and was now literally suspended several feet high on a pillar. Her claws had sunk deep into the stone and her feet were firmly anchored to it allowing her to hold on without difficulty.

"Well you\'re lucky but not for long !"

As she said this, Freya, who was standing right on top of the Nightmare, jumped back up to reach his eyes, which she wanted to rip out with her claws. She wanted to see them explode, to see him scream, suffer and enjoy the spectacle, but the Demon seemed to have decided otherwise. With his axe, which he had picked up with his able-bodied left hand, in a backward motion he sent the she-wolf flying into a corner while he sent the weapon in a very opposite direction.

"Shit !"

The Empress of Elysium had managed to stabilize herself and land on the uneven ground, but it wasn\'t for herself that she was worried. At that moment, the Demon had not swung his gigantic black axe at her but at her soldiers who were much further away. The weapon was spinning at breakneck speed and Freya couldn\'t catch it in time. She could see the Commanders and Lieutenants panicking and casting their spells to stop the deadly blow, but the she-wolf was not fooled.

"They won\'t make it ! Together they might be able to slow it down, but the axe will hit them full force right after ! Damn it !"

The Demon had calculated his action perfectly and if the being he was fighting would not die, then he would kill her companions to compensate. Focusing all of her strength and mind, Feya began to run as fast as she could while watching her soldiers build walls of plants, wood, fire, and wind.

"I wouldn\'t make it in time...there\'s only one solution left ! Sorry Kira I know I promised you to be careful but this is the only way..."

As the Empress whispered this sentence, her feet stopped as she began to scream at the top of her lungs as if to unleash the strength within her. The axe was only a few feet away from the others, cutting through each wall as if it were a sheet of paper. But...suddenly, as the Commanders saw their deaths coming, Freya\'s powerful scream reached their ears.

The next moment, a huge wall of ice appeared in front of them, narrowly blocking the attack and protecting them from harm. It was huge, incredibly thick, and rose proudly to the ceiling like a sunken city. It was the biggest wall the she-wolf had ever created at one time, but she had finally managed to act in time.

Unfortunately, Freya was now coughing up a lot of blood, as this performance had cost the Empress a great deal, as she had to use almost all of her mana to save her warriors...the lights of the Elysium Empire.
