The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya-Chapter 11 Freya Vs Warg
-- POV Gaya --
As Freya left the cave to face Warg, I didn't dare ask her if she knew what a "pet contract" meant for dragons.
*Aaaah how could I tell her?! I don't want her to kill me for not telling her but...*
We had just met and yet I had bonded with her.
Among dragons, forming a "pet contract" means that the dragon agrees to submit its body, its soul, its entire being to the person concerned. This was a once-in-a-lifetime act, some waiting thousands of years to find the one, others making it a lifelong quest. For other races this contract was not as important, having different names depending on the beliefs, the most used being "pet contract". But for us dragons, it had a different name.
*Maybe I should have told her that the real name of the contract is "Tuum usque in sempiternum".*
[N/A: "Forever yours" in Latin]
Although it meant a lot to me, it doesn't force Freya to see it that way. She didn't even seem willing to let me call her Freya, but that was understandable at the moment...we weren't in an ordinary situation.
Reflecting and taking the trouble to evaluate the situation I suddenly realized that everything had gone very fast. But I was happy. I didn't even know why. I had just bonded with a complete stranger who was as beautiful as she was scary, and yet I wasn't afraid of the future. Freya seemed to hold a lot of anger deep inside her, but I couldn't be sure because it was impossible to know what she was thinking or feeling. I wanted to help her, it was like instinctive. Was it an effect of the contract?
Suddenly I remembered an important detail.
*Wait, didn't she say she was level 11?*
Yet she was already so powerful! In our world the leveling was not fast at all, on the contrary. Even Warg, Magni and Daggus, whom I hadn't seen in years, couldn't have gone up a level. I was sure of it because it was like that in this world, there had never been anyone like Freya, an entity that defies logic.
Being able to reach me when she was only level 11, already proved this theory...Freya must have a unique talent and a special power. Therefore, she must have been born not long ago. Her progress seemed unusually fast, which meant that she had not been here long. At first I thought it might be a few weeks or even a month or two, but after thinking about it ....
*A few days...?????*
I had just bonded with a dangerous, domineering she-wolf who could make me flinch and shiver. She was cruel, angry, with a ruthlessly fierce aura and she was...young...very young.
*I would be careful never to tell her my age....*
There was no way for me to know it...but she already knew that information because of her system.
*Dear Freya, be careful* I whispered before falling back to sleep.

-- POV Freya --
As I headed south, I could feel chills run through my body. I had a feeling that something very important had just happened, but unfortunately I couldn't figure out what. Putting this thought aside, I continued to run through the night that had already fallen.
Gaya had told me that Warg lived near a waterfall a few miles south of the mountain where I met her. I had been running for several hours now when suddenly the distant sound of wild water tickled my ear.
*I think we are close.*
Walking cautiously towards the place where the noise came from, I could feel the presence of a creature much more powerful than those I had met in the forest.
*I will try to remain discreet and observe before acting. Caution and discretion first!*
[I agree Freya-sama, how do you plan to proceed?]
*I don't know yet, I need to get close enough to access his status. Then it'll be easier to make a decision and set up a strategy.*
[That's actually very wise. Are you looking to set up an instant death strategy so you don't waste time and move on to the others?]
*Haha of course not, didn't you hear me earlier? I will make him suffer as planned. Think of me as a rabid wolf stalking its prey to play with.*
[My apologies, I won't forget this.]
While Kira apologized, I quietly poked my head out of the bushes, luckily I was black and hidden in the night, so I wasn't afraid to be seen. So I started to observe the area where the noise came from. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ
There in front of me was a huge clearing, with a large lake in the middle like I had never seen before. In the center of this lake was an island on which stood proudly a massive tree. A weeping willow made of water and glass, its leaves were water flowing into the lake and its branches were transparent like crystal. Butterflies with luminous bodies fluttered all around the trunk and the top. There wasn't much else but when you looked into the dark water, the moon and stars reflected perfectly, making this scene, a scene straight out of a novelkiss.
*Gaya didn't tell me that the waterfall was actually a tree. I wonder what it is*.
[Syn Forest Water Tree - allows water element users to never run out of mana (MP) when they are nearby. ]
*Aaaaah, that's annoying. Now I understand better why he decided to live here. Unfortunately I still haven't seen him...*
[Freya-sama! I feel the presence coming closer].
*Mmh I feel it too.*
Slowly getting out of the lake and walking on the island where the tree was, I could see a huge scorpion with a sky-blue carapace that looked quite thick.

*Well I must admit that I am a little disappointed, it is certainly strong but it is not what I imagined.*
[Do you have a plan ?]
*I'm thinking of attacking him head on, using my agility, stamina, speed and skills to catch him off guard. Even if his MP are currently unlimited, his life is not. So I just need to be faster than him and end his life before my MPs are exhausted...it's a race against time.*
[I understand your reasoning but it seems quite risky to me, don't forget that despite your many advantages there are still 3 levels above you not counting the tree].
*Daijoubu ! I would never get into a fight that I can't win, and then if it gets too serious I can just break the tree or absorb its mana with "devouring chaos" to cancel its effects.*
[Good luck and be careful.] 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com
*Always. Thank you.*
Without making a sound, I slipped out of my hiding place and started to form 10 infernal ice spikes all around me while releasing my demonic aura on Warg. Not having too much of a difference in levels, Warg was affected and couldn't face me...his body didn't respond anymore.
No doubt an instinctive reaction.
Taking advantage of the situation, I rushed at the scorpion, throwing 5 of my 10 spikes at its head and neck. The ice broke on impact, but not without doing some damage.
[ Water Scorpius Warg - HP: 15 000 / 20 000 ]
I had managed to take out 5,000 HP from him in one go, but that's because he was standing still, I wouldn't be so lucky next time.
Moving again, the pain had woken him up from his trance he stared at me with hateful eyes before shouting.
"MISERABLE!!! HOW DARE YOU??? WHO ARE YOU???"
"..."
"YOU...."
Taking my silence as an insult, Warg got all worked up. But it wasn't that I didn't want to answer, it was rather that I couldn't.
The scorpion came towards me in a fighting stance, it had a long tail folded back on itself above its head that began to spin faster and faster. Suddenly, from the tip of his tail came a multitude of water droplets as transparent as they were robust as he launched his incantation.
"Water! Come to me and drill: water projectiles!!! "
The drops of water flew back and forth across the clearing crashing into the nearest trees with an exploding sound. I had managed to avoid almost all of them but a few had hit me in the shoulder and hip.
[Freya - HP : 14 120 / 15 100]
*Aouch, it doesn't feel good*
Using my agility to zigzag between these water balls I threw my 5 remaining spikes at Warg aiming at his neck, tail, head and stomach.
"Stand before my enemies: wall of water!"
The scorpion effortlessly dodged my attacks while protecting himself from the spikes flying straight at him with a wall of water. Unfortunately for him, although he managed to avoid them, they would immediately come back at him. You could see the ice and water clashing violently as I closed in on my target.
"DON'T THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE ME"
*But I'm not even trying to escape, you filthy insect!*
Coming both face to face, I released once again my demonic aura in order to engulf him with my presence, while using my claw skill to tear off his leg. Frightened but not immobilized Warg swung his tail hitting my right paw and my right flank with power sending me flying and crashing into a nearby tree.
[Freya - HP : 12 341 / 15 100]
*Arg! I feel like I have one or two broken ribs.
-- PING --
[ Host to acquired: Pain Resistance (lvl 1) ]
"HAHAHAHA!!! THAT'S IT STAY DOWN, THAT'S WHERE YOU BELONG DOG!"
Ignoring the notifications, as I stood up, his last words made me stop and shake.
"ARE YOU SCARED NOW? IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRETS!"
*Scared ? To have regrets? Me?*
I felt my body boil with uncontrollable rage as my hair stood on end. I didn't want to have fun anymore, I didn't want to play his pathetic game. He had insulted me and mocked me openly with a smile on his face...it was too much.
Standing up despite the pain in my ribs and the bleeding of my wounds I summoned 15 infernal ice spikes that flew as one in his direction. His walls of water spouted out on both sides of his position, but despite the speed of his incantations it was still too slow against me. Not needing to speak, or even incant, I was without a doubt in this world, the one who could cast skills the fastest.
"WHAT..."
7 out of 15 spikes had finally hit him hard, planting themselves in his tail and back crossing between the plates of his hard shell.
[Water Scorpius Warg - HP: 10,037 / 20,000]
"AAAARGH!"
He only had half his HP left. Not wanting to kill it quickly, I decided to rip off its legs and tail with my claws and fangs to prevent it from escaping.
"NOOOO! PITY I..."
[Water Scorpius Warg - HP: 8,743 / 20,000]
Violently slashing his limbs one by one, I could see the fear and pain cross his eyes as he begged...but it wasn't enough.
*I will make you suffer for what you said!*
Although my original goal was to make him suffer for acting like a traitor, this had turned into a personal vendetta.
The moon was still high in the sky while in its light I could be seen smiling fiercely at my victim.
*It's a good thing I needed a guinea pig to check some things kufufufu ~*
It was going to be a long night as his nightmare was just beginning.
