The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

- POV Freya -

As May and June stood in front of me, an unexpected thought crossed my mind after my eyes lingered on Jade. She was the one I had taken prisoner during the war, a vampire among humans, with statistics theoretically as powerful as mine. I hadn't yet revealed her true race to the remaining humans, but then, why not let her do it herself in a fight ?

I had just resurrected two new Sins, I had their status in front of me and even though the twins were lost, I wanted to see their power. When they were human, it was my Commanders who had fought them, not me. What was the strength of a newly born Sin like ? Kira, the Sin of Greed had trained for war and had had a meteoric rise, but she held a special title.

"Empress."

"Hmpf !"

Suddenly, Commander Luna appeared in front of me throwing the young ginger woman with emerald eyes who had only been watching from the beginning onto the ground. She looked as lost as the others but I felt a different, instinctive apprehension. Since I had revealed my form and that of the other three, Jade was still silent but I had easily felt an almost imperceptible change, especially in her eyes.

Snapping my fingers, Luna hurried to untie her, who had been nursed back to health a few minutes earlier by my Commanders' initiative at my announcement. I also wanted to have the opportunity to see from the outside what this very mysterious vampire's fighting style looked like. I leaned over and said a few words to her so that she would be warned that she could not leave the arena and that she had to play the game.

"Don't think of escaping or I'll drain you of your blood~"

"Yes your Highness"

"Good."

I also wanted to check my intuition in a fight between the twins and the vampire, two against one but the difference in level would close the gap. After seeing the look on June and May's face at their former submissive King had intrigued me more than anything. Awake for only a few minutes, how would they fight ? Their element seemed to be linked with the other's alone, so would they be two linked Sins sharing the same mana?

*I can't wait to find out. But for now...*

All these questions were exciting, I felt like I was discovering how two of my creations would work. This fight was going to close the evening which had already been very eventful but more than satisfying for everyone. Turning my head towards Kira, I nodded my head to signal that it could begin while I returned to my seat next to Gaya, the King who had become less than nothing following me obediently.

"Haha honey~ you never miss a chance to have fun, do you ? Pfffff~"

As I sat down, my dear wife's voice came tickling my wolf ears along with her quiet little laugh that I found absolutely adorable. She had whispered so that no one would hear us, the Commanders being a few meters behind us. Sketching a small smile, before the fight started, I leaned gently to her ear to whisper my answer.

"I can't help it my love, all this blood it turns me on fufu~"

"Big bad naughty she-wolf~"

"Of course~"

Moving away from Gaya, I gave her a discreet wink while tenderly patting her nose causing her to smile shyly and beautifully. As my heart started to beat suddenly very fast, I coughed feeling my cheeks getting strangely hot. I could also see Kira holding back a laugh so squinting I signaled her to start if she didn't want me to destroy her forehead with a flick.

"A-All right, then we'll get started but first some rules ! Killing and taking a bestial form is forbidden during this fight but you obviously have the right to use your elements ! The winner or winners will be decided when the other side forfeits or is no longer able to fight ! Try all three of you to offer the Empress a fight capable of making her vibrate hehe~"

Without saying another word, my little sister jumped several feet into the air to get away while her right arm was raised to give the signal. She hadn't done anything yet when suddenly the atmosphere seemed to change drastically as the fight approached. June and May were side by side but had bent over in an attack posture while Jade stood straight, arms on her chest, their minds seemingly blanking out everything else around.

"3...2...1...0, GO !"

On cue, May spread the black wings on her back, rising quickly into the sky as her sister June ran straight at her target. The vampire hadn't moved a single centimeter but blood was flowing from her arms, as if she had made a deep cut. Soon it covered her arms before solidifying into part of the red armor that Jade had used during our fight.

None of the three had a weapon, so it would be a physical and elemental fight for now that from the beginning was already very interesting. The first one to reach the Vampire was June who, when she reached the top of her body, swung her snake tail as powerfully as possible as an attack. By the time Jade's two arms were blocking without too much difficulty, May above her was already racing, her nails transformed into claws.

The next moment, a huge sound of impact was heard while the dust rose for a few seconds preventing us from seeing perfectly. The young woman with red hair had blocked simultaneously the blows of the two sisters with an ease that did not surprise me. However, there were two of them and Jade was alone and as I had suspected, June and May were relying on their instinct at that moment.

Without wasting another second, the two sisters started to throw punches, one on the ground and the other in the air, more and more wildly. Their adversary managed to receive each blow without retreating a little more because of their growing strength. Suddenly, the young female vampire was propelled to the ground by the twins who had struck her legs and arms in synchronization.

*Ara~ ?*

The moment Jade hit the ground as surprised as I was, the two demons she was facing started to appear little by little. Around May's hands, black flames were dancing but their base was glowing with a particular green color that looked dangerous. Next to her, June had covered her whole body with a slimy substance which she could control because her ice clothes did not melt on contact with it.

The aura they gave off had changed and I found the same sensations I felt with Kira when she became more...wild. The feeling was familiar, my body remembered it more than my mind, but my own instinct was not wrong. The indescribable bond we had vibrated within me and as the fight progressed, I felt my entire being tremble with a special excitement.

"Ah !"

Jade who had gotten up right away, blood dripping down the corner of her mouth, was suddenly gushing red liquid all around her body. Her aura too had flared up at the same time as her ego forbade her to lose despite the mysterious restraint she was showing. The next moment, two long canines grew in her mouth, her nails grew and her green eyes began to glow more intensely.

*Jade Wolfury...bloodthirsty vampire and fallen Queen*

The blood armor reformed around her, lighter but complete, announcing the elemental attacks of the three participants. This time it was her turn to propel herself forward with great speed, aiming first at June who was on the ground. With a movement of her arm, the same viscous substance that was around her started to appear at the end of her fingers before spinning towards Jade like bullets.

Every time one hit something, on impact, a slight explosion that was actually the effect of the ignition of her element. A rain of acid fell on the vampire but protected by her armor, she continued to spin between, getting closer and closer despite some attacks that hit her. Very quickly, with range of who representing Envy, the young woman taking advantage of its dash, balanced her foot in the stomach of her adversary.

"AAARG !!!"

Without stopping, leaning on her leg still on June, Jade was propelling herself in the air where May was still, throwing fireballs in her direction. However, her speed was too great for her to react and with a back kick to her shoulder, the young woman crashed to the ground. Hot air escaped from where she landed as I finally felt a wave of power coming from the two sisters.

The twins, despite having taken their first blow, had then started to smile slightly leaving more room for their bestial instinct. Black scales and feathers appeared on their necks and cheeks according to their race as I could feel their mana going crazy. Not waiting a second longer, the two of them dashed at full speed at the vampire, surprised by their sudden increase in speed.

"You won't get me so easily !!!"

This time aware of the danger, conjuring up a sword of blood, Jade had shouted in the hope of destabilizing them but it obviously wasn't enough. Swinging her weapon at May the first to arrive from the sky, she missed her blow, the young woman having dodged perfectly. The next moment, her whole body was surrounded by black and green flames surprising and blinding the one with the armor and the bloody blade.

Jade had the time to move back but June appeared in her back and with a 90 degree movement, she hit her back with all the strength of her tail, propelling her forward where her sister was. Instead of launching an attack, the one with the black wings opened wide her arms to embrace the one who was coming right on her. Once imprisoned in her arms, May made the flames that dressed her at that moment burn even more intensely.

"AAAAAHH !!!"

At her feet had also appeared a puddle of acid in which the vampire fell after being dropped by the one who had held her long enough. I could gradually glimpse a fraction of their teamwork appearing, which the sisters had had to keep from their lives as humans. The moment Jade touched the liquid, it suddenly caught fire, slowly melting her armor and skin, still in the grip of the black flames.

I could already understand a little better the elements that my two new demons had, understanding that they complemented each other. Their fighting style was still messy, but the twins were able to stand up to someone much more powerful at level 15. Their reflexes and attacks were more instinctive than strategic but with intensive training like Kira's, they would become formidable very quickly.

"Y-You..."

As I was lost in thought, Jade's voice brought me back to the fight as I could see her dripping the fiery blood from her armor onto the ground. She was also slowly regenerating under the stunned eyes of Myles who finally understood that she was not human. Making two swords appear in each of her hands this time, the young female vampire spoke in an irritated and threatening voice.

"I-I don't know what made me hold back until now but it's over..."

I didn't know either but everything was getting much more interesting and the others in the big arena were thinking the same thing because no sound could be heard. This time her speed had increased too because at the moment she was charging June and May, I was probably one of the few who could follow her movements perfectly. The next second she attacked the two sisters with more rage and strength.

They were defending themselves with their claws, with their bare hands, taking care not to be cut in two with each blocked blow. Unfortunately, the more time passed, the more I could feel that June and May were being overwhelmed by the real power of Jade, which was emerging little by little. A cloud of dust rose around the three fighters and a few seconds later, only the sound of the fight could be heard.

"ARG !!!"

"HMPF !!!"

Then, emerging from that small cloud, the twins would crash to the ground in a mess just before Jade appeared right in front of them. The tips of her two swords were pointed at the necks of both of them, marking the end of the fight and a result that surprised me very little. I had paid attention to every detail of what had happened and it had to be said that I had been very amused by this little unexpected event.

"Jade's victory over the demon twins !"

Kira was already standing announcing the result while the hitherto silent crowd stood up to applaud, impressed by what had happened. The fight itself was not the most exciting I had seen but what made it interesting were the participants themselves. I had also learned quite a bit and I knew that my one-on-one with this mysterious vampire was going to be very, very rewarding.

I was also proud of the two newcomers who, in a very special and unfamiliar atmosphere, although disoriented, had done their best. This evening had started in blood, my wife had even undergone a transformation that I could not explain and ended with this fight. Only the King and Myles were still alive, but during these events, an even more diabolical idea had occurred to me.

What Gaya, Kira, and I had remembered most was the Church of Zal and its Supreme, who were directly threatening our precious family. My ambition was to wipe the Kingdom off the map, and the two remaining humans were the first two pawns I would advance on the chessboard.
