The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya-Chapter 197 Freya Vs Jade I [Hell - Part III]

The Hell that my soldiers and I had created was all around me, at a glance I could see my Commanders, my little sister and my wife fighting. Of course I wasn't 100% reassured but more than anything else I trusted them...blind trust. For the moment, despite the horror movie mess, I was focused and intrigued by the one in front of me.

When Ynir used her illusion skill, I was hidden far away watching each soldier carefully and reading what they were all capable of. In only 7 minutes with my high intelligence, it was possible for me to detect everything and create a strategy. However, while I was observing everything, my eyes fell on one person in particular who was the most powerful.

Thanks to my heightened senses, it was easy for me to understand that the young woman was not at all affected by the illusion and even claimed to be. Moreover, her profile described her as being of the Vampire race and at the sight of this information, dozens of questions had crossed my mind. Why had she done everything she could not to wake up the army? What was a vampire like her doing in the human army ? And...a Fallen Queen ?

Her title was also quite interesting, making me want to hear her story and find out what made her do this. My instinct was not to miss this Jade who called herself Erina, known as the Knight Mage of the Kingdom of Zal. To be honest, if she had been human I wouldn't have tried to understand, but seeing her say nothing when she could have woken up her comrades, intrigued me.

While I was busy with her blood knives coming at me by the hundreds, Jade came up behind me with more speed than she had at first. She covered herself in a kind of blood armor I had never seen before and caught me off guard. Within seconds, blood was spurting to the sky as one of her swords went through my shoulder and one of my ice picks went through hers.

[HP: 167,000 / 170,000]

My goal as Empress was to stop the most powerful one, but against all odds, although very serious about the task, she amused me and kept my interest in her growing. The mutual blow that we had dealt each other had hurt us, but it took a lot more than that to bring us to our knees or call it a victory.

"You are fast fufu~"

"Y-You too.."

As we both jumped into the air again, we pulled out whatever was stuck in our respective shoulders. It was kind of weird to be able to get hurt by something other than a creature or a beast but I was discovering new things. I wanted to defeat Jade and ask her all the questions I could think of, I wanted to know her secret and in a fair way.

As she stared at my every move, I moved behind my katana planted in the ground before withdrawing it with a sharp blow. Shiro's lucky charm was still attached to the handle and as I looked at it with a smile, threads of blood were once again coming out of my right hand. They were slowly and discreetly wrapped around the handle as I tore off my awkward coat with my other hand.

[ BLOOD: 76 / 100 ]

This time I had concentrated on making them thin and strong and once I was sure they were well attached it was my turn to attack. Twirling my katana, I ran to her position and reached it in an instant. Jade wielded three swords, but I had mastered my weapon better than any other and for the first time since I arrived here, I could unleash all my knowledge.

Reeling in my arm, I suddenly threw my weapon in her direction waiting patiently for her to dodge before launching my second real attack. My katana passed by her face almost cutting a strand of her hair as she smiled to provoke me. However, that smile faded when Jade realized far too late that I was holding the handle in my blood.

"Shit !!"

Clenching the fist that was manipulating my threads and pulling with a sharp jerk, I brought my black blade in my direction right into the Knight's dead center. Instantly ducking, she managed to avoid the quick, powerful and deadly blow, but only by a small margin, while I released the wires holding my katana, which, as a result, came rushing back at me.

"Hmpf !"

Jade had reacted quickly and despite my weapon coming at me, she hadn't noticed my wires wrapping around her leg. Firing again with my right arm, she lost her balance as I started to run to her. I ran straight at her with my blade coming at me, catching it with my left hand still without stopping.

Arriving very quickly at Jade's level, I raised my blade to strike her chest but the young redheaded woman avoided by leaning her body completely backward. Anticipating her movement, I crouched down to slide my left leg and sweep her feet. But, against all odds, Jade had also planned something else and while my leg mowed her down, in her fall her fist hit my head violently.

Using the speed of her blow, I spun around to catch her and propel her away from me as my body hit the ground. Hers bounced, split the ground, broke the stones and turned the earth over with each impact ending up in a rock. Without giving her time to do anything, I formed a huge ice spike that in only a few seconds was already heading towards Jade. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

It was huge, the size of a huge pillar, sharp and as hard as steel but despite all that, it was going at an impressive speed. All I could see afterward was the ice pick crashing into Jade who was coming out of the rock in which I had stuck her for a few seconds. No more movement was detectable at this place when suddenly, the ice cracked gently before exploding into thousands of small pieces.

*Oh~? Interesting~*

From behind the ice dust reappeared Jade with blood flowing from her temple but her three blood swords and armor were still intact. She had just cut my attack with power and even if she had suffered the force of it, I discovered with satisfaction that she was still standing. The more time passed, the more I could feel my body heating up as the excitement for this fight mounted within me.

"Y-You !"

While I was focused on her shining armor for flaws, Jade stared at me with green eyes filled with anger. She licked the blood that flowed from her lips as once again, the wound on her temple smoked to close. However, unlike the first time, the healing process was taking longer and that was sure to get my attention.

*Her blood armor must require a lot of mana, when she uses it she must constantly lose a little. It's a powerful and effective defense, however the fight must not drag on for long because it's depleting a bit every second. Her healing ability is even a little slower than a few minutes ago. Interesting... really interesting fufu~*

For the first time during a fight, Kira was not present at my side but I could not stop talking in my mind. As if her voice was going to answer me, I was thinking while explaining point by point in my mind, where I wanted to go. What was sure was that even though Jade's armor seemed to be foolproof, time was working against her.

"Impressive~!!!"

From where she stood, the redheaded Knight had screamed while her bloodied face finally broke into an excited smile almost similar to mine. The young female vampire in front of me was beginning to feel the same chills as I was. Probably for the first time in her life, she was facing an opponent against whom it was possible to use all her power.

Both of us didn't care about what was around us, only the other and our fight mattered at that moment. Straightening up, I smiled back at her while conscientiously licking my fangs and lips. I had not lost many lives but something told me that everything would be more difficult. As I prepared myself for what was to come, Jade's voice echoed in the distance again.

"My turn !"

"Come !"

I had thrown her far enough in front of the wall of flame with my last attack that we were hundreds of feet apart. Without further ado, I could see the redheaded vampire take hold of her right foot before propelling herself towards me, breaking the ground with her strength. Her green eyes were even brighter with the same glint of madness in them as mine and her angry expression had completely changed.

*How exciting !*

On my side, I crouched down, clapping my hands on the ground, concentrating all my mana while showing great concentration. Like when I crossed the sea with Kira, this time I wanted to use my "Frozen Wrath" skill in battle. I could feel the air around me getting colder and colder, my breath creating steam as my hair changed color to white.

Everything was happening very fast and suddenly the whole ground in front of me froze instantly creating a white ground where I was. However, it took more than that to stop Jade's run, which, although slowed down, continued to advance towards me. When she was already halfway to me, I made hundreds of ice spikes appear from the ground and rise into the sky.

The redheaded Knight danced among them, avoiding the larger ones and breaking the smaller ones with her swords with once again impressive responsiveness. She was getting closer, but in the sky above her head, hundreds more ice peaks were forming. Jade hadn't noticed them yet because she was too busy getting out of this frozen hell.

*You sent me a rain of knives, let me return the favor fufu~*

Suddenly, releasing all my mana contained in the spikes, they split the sky straight towards Jade who was overwhelmed. Ice was coming from everywhere, from the ground to the sky and as if that wasn't enough, the ground itself was frozen. With a huge noise and an explosion of ice and stone, they had all locked Jade in a prison of frozen spikes.

As I watched the scene in front of me carefully, a familiar scent came to my nostrils... the smell of blood and it was getting stronger. However, it wasn't mine and by the time I realized it, it was slightly too late. Coming out of the ground, breaking the ice, blades of blood were coming out right underneath me, three in number.

*Shit !*

My hands were on the ground and I couldn't remove them if I wanted to continue forming ice spikes with my "Frozen Wrath" skill. Pushing on my legs, keeping my hands on the ground, I propelled my feet backwards to dodge. The blades passed only a few inches from my face with inhuman speed. Turning almost completely around on my hands, I looked at the place where Jade was.

However, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see her anywhere, and yet my attention was only taken for a few seconds. When the blades of blood had appeared, I had not been able to observe what was happening, too busy to react. Suddenly, a shadow formed on the ground and as I looked up, I could see the young redheaded woman running towards me.

Jade was covered in blood, her armor was cracked, and it was not hard to understand that getting out of this ice prison had been trying. This time, her two vampire canines were completely out, she was snarling and seemed to have gone wild. Reacting as fast as I could, I formed an ice armor around my body and grabbed my katana to block her powerful blow.

The ground broke under my feet, my whole body vibrated at the impact and a white aura came out proving my concentration. All my muscles were used and despite my advantage, the young knight was fighting and resisting more than I thought. Once again, our faces were quite close to each other but this time we were both smiling wildly despite the blood that had already been spilled.

"Who are you really ?"

Jade had raised her voice with interest while our weapons were still against each other, each pushing with force. Her beautiful green eyes shone with palpable excitement and despite her age being close to mine, I couldn't help but think of Kira. Smiling with all my teeth, I intensified the force of pressure in my arms to force her to back away. Bending down to her cheek, I licked the blood that had run down it before whispering my answer in her ear.

"Entertain me~ Let's play some more and I'll tell you fufu~"
