The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

- POV General -

Shortly before the Empress and the Queen appeared on the battlefield, announcing the end of the war, a titanic battle took place. Myles and Leto were at the top of an ice platform where they had to fight the two female rulers of the Empire. The sounds of the war going on below rose into the sky as the four stared at each other, motionless and silent.

Freya had just kissed her wife before the stunned eyes of the two humans who had been casting their spells to fight. Their faces were now filled with disgust but also apprehension at the calmness of the she-wolf and the dragoness. The wind was blowing and whispering in their ears when suddenly, Saint Leto pulled out an object filled with mana from his white and gold robe.

"Gaya.."

"Umu... what he has in his hand is filled with mana.."

From where they stood, the Empress and the Queen could very well feel the power of what the Paladin had just pulled out of his pocket. They knew of course that humans had magical knowledge that the Empire did not, giving them the use of very interesting items. As Gaya answered Freya, Saint Leto at the same time put on what turned out to be a ring.

Just after, an even larger white aura formed around him as his body began to shake from nowhere. Myles at his side suddenly smiled as he finally swung his sword at his two opponents. The Paladin's power seemed to have doubled and the Knight who had finished incanting had doubled in size, his muscles making him look like a modified human.

"Hahahaha~ Now get ready, you are about to taste the power of humans !"

After finishing his sentence, Saint Leto made a huge hammer of light appear in front of him as well as a long spear in his left hand. Sir Myles, on the other hand, had his sword whose blade, previously made of iron, had turned into a long blade made of water. The two men were level 40 but at that moment had between them, a power greater than Freya and Gaya combined.

"My love..."

"It's okay, honey~ instead of worrying, watch me do it instead. You'll see how a real dragoness fights fufu~"

The Empress who didn't doubt her wife's strength still felt worried about this first fight by her side. However, what she should not forget was that before she was her wife and the Queen of her Empire, Gaya was a proud and powerful dragoness. As the crimson-haired woman winked at Freya, two huge, majestic wings suddenly appeared behind her back.

Sharp claws grew in place of her fingernails, scales formed on her forearms and a large tail appeared at the bottom of her back. Gaya could feel the power flowing through her body as she was in a form closer to her original one and it showed. Steam seemed to be coming out of her nostrils, mouth and her amber-colored eyes, glowed with excitement and bloodlust.

"So let's go."

Nodding at her reaction, a smile appeared on the bottom of Freya's face as ice wings sprang up behind her as well. They didn't have time to move when already a dazzling blue slash was coming from their right at great speed. Myles had been the first to launch an attack, his sword extending like a whip to reach the farthest reaches of the platform.

Flapping their wings at the same time, the she-wolf and the dragoness flew away without much concern to avoid the attack that was supposed to take them by surprise. Hovering now at about 10 meters from the ground, they looked down on the two humans to observe their every move. Sir Myles who was now two meters tall was not content with this missed move as he was already running in their direction covered by Saint Leto.

"Raaaaah !!!"

His footsteps were almost shaking the whole platform and in just a few seconds he was already under them. Swinging his huge arms, the human threw his water blade once again toward the two women, splitting the air in a deafening noise. Avoiding another close call, Freya and Gaya moved through the air with ease, still watching but not rushing to stay safe.

"This isn't over !"

As he shouted, Sir Myles began to reel in his sword, sending out a multitude of even faster and denser slashes. The attacks rained down in a dazzling way, forcing Freya to pull out her black katana and Gaya to reinforce her body with her aura. The two women twirled in the wind, only dodging and unable to retaliate for the moment as the flow of attacks was insane.

"Watch out !"

Suddenly, the huge hammer made of light of the Paladin appeared above the dragon woman before coming down on her under the eyes of the she-wolf. With a loud thud, it had fallen straight down on her before she could even move or escape. However, the hammer had not hit the ground because right underneath it, Gaya had stopped it, putting her two arms in a cross and pushing with all her strength.

The ice floor cracked under her feet and the level 30 Queen did her best to resist the Paladin's level 40 attack. She had covered her arms with a layer of earth element that formed a small bubble, her body was shaking but she was still holding on. As her feet sank further into the ice, the Empress' wife did a 180-degree turn, swinging her tail against the 5-meter weapon.

With a strength her wife didn't know she had, Gaya sent the hammer skyward toward the cage that kept the humans out. At the same time, Freya exploded her aura around her, nullifying all of Myles' attacks around her. As the Empress landed back next to her Queen, the Knight did the same as the Paladin raised his voice from where he stood.

"Not bad for a dragon and what's more a woman"

"Oh, so in addition to being so stupid as to be blinded by prejudice you are also mysoginous ? Yet it seems to me that your best warrior Mage Knight was a woman. Hahaha~ getting better and better..."

Gaya hadn't been able to help but respond as she raised an eyebrow at the words Saint Leto had said about her. She hadn't spoken with a cold, harsh voice like Freya did but rather with a surprising and unexpected softness giving her a very elegant air. The dragoness was smiling but her lilting tone hid a wave of immense anger that was not to be taken lightly as the human answered her.

"Well... I'm not responsible for who the Knights appoint to lead them and I don't really care. To tell you the truth, whether you're a dragon, a woman or both...you disgust me just as much."

"Then let me tell you something....a dragon is fierce, dangerous and deadly, but a woman can be even more so !"

Without waiting for his answer, the Queen spread her wings before launching herself straight at the Paladin to prove her words personally. Her feet no longer touched the ground as she literally flew, stirring the air incredibly with her powerful wings. Seeing Gaya coming, Sir Myles switched targets and launched new waves of water attack in her direction to prevent her from getting any closer.

"Don't even think about it !"

From where she was, the Empress had gone on the attack and without moving, sent spikes of ice against each blade of water aimed at her Queen with speed. They almost cut Freya's element, but she still managed to stop each salvo perfectly. Thus, a dragoness could be seen spinning at an impressive speed without even caring what was around her, proving her blind trust in her wife.

"This is as far as you go !!!"

Forming his hammer of light again, Saint Leto threw it straight at Gaya who was in a straight line, facing him and impossible to miss. The seconds seemed to pass at a maddeningly slow pace as the crimson-haired woman's body would collide with the weapon. Putting once again her two arms in front of her face, the dragoness blocked the attack which on the impact produced a powerful shock wave.

Then, using the speed she had gained, the Queen began to punch against the huge surface of solidified mana. For his part, the Paladin was sending more and more mana into his weapon to push in the opposite direction. However, even though Gaya was gradually being pushed back, she continued to strike without stopping, her blows becoming strangely then devastating each time.

"You..."

Saint Leto felt this gradual change and could not help but be surprised by it while he also felt her aura change. As if in a second state, the Queen struck, again and again, showing a relentlessness and brutality worthy of a dragon. The whole platform was drowned out by the muffled beating of her blows, which at that moment sounded like the beating of a racing heart.

Suddenly, cracks appeared on the hammer which started to crack under the fists of Gaya who aimed at only one place from the beginning. Concentrating all her power on one point, it was the decision she had taken to overcome the gap in strength that separated them. Even a small trickle of water flowing in the same place could split the rock with time and that the Queen knew very well.

"Aaarrrgghh !!!"
Gaya also had a skill called "Earth Fists/Earthquake" that made it easier to carry out her plan, amplifying the strength of her hands. Thus, in a dazzling burst of mana, the hammer broke in two leaving her to cross as quickly as she had arrived. Reaching his height, the human didn't even have time to react when the Queen was already under his nose, claws out and ready to strike.

Reacting with great speed, he used his spear to block this new wave that fell on him more powerfully than he had expected. The Paladin had never faced this style of combat in his life because the woman in front of him was fighting in a very special way. For the first time, Saint Leto tasted the "Dragon Fighting Style" which left him no time to breathe, attacked from all sides and in different ways.

Since the beginning, the Dragon Queen had not touched the ground once and used her wings to move with ease and precision. Her blows were brutal and yet there was a certain grace in every movement, almost hypnotic. Gaya struck wildly with her tail, legs, elbows, claws and even her whole body, circling the Paladin without stopping.

Sir Myles, who had stopped launching his attacks, was preparing to attack her again when suddenly threads of blood grabbed his arms and legs and pulled him away. He had been inattentive for a second, leaving Freya a perfect opening to restrain him. As he sped toward her, the Empress summoned an ice pick that he was about to impale himself on.

Seeing the danger coming, the Knight then inflated his huge muscles before forming a shield of his element just before the impact. It was a smart move on his part because, although the spike had pierced his protection, it had slowed it down and saved his life. The spike had passed through the shield before sinking into his armor without seriously injuring him.

Tied up and then drawn towards the Empress by her divine threads of blood, Sir Myles was now propelled in the opposite direction, having taken the blow with full force. At the same time, Saint Leto was also hit by the Queen's scaly tail, following the trajectory that his companion had taken just before. The two men, so confident five minutes ago, were now crashing into the she-wolf's ice cage.

"Not bad for humans."

"Indeed my love, indeed~

As a result, the Knight and Paladin were sent flying dozens of feet away, rolling on the ground and exploding chunks of ice in the process. The Queen couldn't help but reuse Saint Leto's words, openly mocking him, her wife confirming with a smile. The fight had only just begun, and yet the only two to bite the dust were those who had with their army, underestimated the entire forest.

"I...*cough cough*!!!"

"Uuurg...*cough*...!!"

Neither attack had mortally wounded them, and both men were already on their feet, stunned and angry. Even though their bodies had been hit, their egos and pride had been hit the hardest triggering even more hatred.

"Y-You want to play that ? F-Fine !"

Dipping his trembling hand into his toga once more, Saint Leto pulled out two small rings identical to the first, before tossing one to Sir Myles. Putting them on, all their wounds closed and a new boost of power came through their bodies. Their mana, which was already high, began to climb, causing the Empress to frown and know that things were getting even more dangerous.

"Then come closer, humans !"

Feeling the same as her wife, Gaya replied as her body began to distort and change color at a glance. Her white skin gave way to a skin made of crimson scales, hard and shiny in the last light of day. Her face was getting longer, her body was getting bigger as under the eyes of the Knight, the Paladin and her wife, Gaya was finally taking her dragon form.

"ROAAAAAAAR !!! COME ON IF YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE DOWN A DRAGON !!!"

In an instant, a gigantic dragoness was in front of them speaking this time in a powerful voice seemingly made of dozens of others. Her roar had shaken the entire platform and her every word was laced with palpable animosity. While the humans hesitated at this sudden and impressive transformation, Freya, who was farther away, had her eyes twinkling with admiration as she whispered.

"I love her..."
