The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV General --

In a clearing south of the Syn Forest, there stood a magnificent tree, as pure as crystal, with water flowing like rivers over its structure. In this clearing, the moon still shone high in the starry black sky as many wild animals ventured forth. They had been attracted by the noise, the mana that had gone wild, and as soon as the dominant aura disappeared, these animals had dared to approach.

Everything was quiet, but thousands of meters below ground, however, everything was far from quiet. In this huge room filled with towering pillars, a complicated battle was indeed taking place. The same room that was silent when the 21 people arrived was now plunged into a deafening cacophony testifying to the violence of the battle.

Just before launching the counterattack, the Empress had cleared the area around them, causing the Nightmares to hesitate for a few moments. One second was enough, and as the creatures tried to figure out what had happened to their comrades in front, the charge had already been launched. At the she-wolf's command, a portion of the Commanders had dashed forward to take their places and fight in formation.

The two sections of the army based on the close attack were Ralph and Emilia who accompanied by their Lieutenants Liz and Zak, were fighting fiercely in the front line. True to form, they had charged into the pile without regard to their numbers, fearless and with palpable rage. Hundreds and hundreds of creatures kept appearing, but where the Commanders were, their bodies were flying by the dozens.

Until now Emilia and Ralph had not even begun to fight and had simply engulfed in this living mass and yet none managed to touch them. Like trucks launched at high speed, the two young women of their only force, struck the monsters in a frantic race sending the bodies to waltz. Some were crashing into the pillars, others were knocking down their allies. Now they found themselves surrounded, but it took more than that to make them falter.

"Emilia ! Let's show her Highness the progress we've made !"

"Mmh !"

Ralph had said these words while preparing her fists, which were beginning to crackle as a thick layer of lava formed on them. Emilia, on the other hand, held her thick sword firmly in both hands and nodded with a small smile. The two Commanders were ready to fight and as the Nightmares pounced on them, their battles could begin.

"Here we go !"

The red-eyed young hybrid woman grinned almost as wildly as the Ice Empress and swung her fiery fists in all directions, burning everyone in her path. The green skin of the Nightmares burned or exploded from the power and speed of the impact. Ralph fought like the ferocious half-wolf she was, driven by a deep desire for victory and blood.

She didn't just use her fists, and even her feet were used to rip off heads and explode chests, for her entire body was her weapon. The sound of cracking bones filled the surrounding area while no creature could touch Ralph at the moment. Their fingernails, as sharp and long as daggers, were still blocked and broken by the hybrid's glowing fists, preventing any defense or attack.

"That's it come on !"

Ralph was unleashed, she had no weapon and yet was just as effective. Like a wild beast, the Commander killed indiscriminately and from a distance the others could only see red explosions and muffled screams. Smoke rose from the ceiling as well, while a horrific smell of burning flesh filled the room. Several feet away was also fighting her friend who could not control the mana.

Emilia, on the other hand, was calmer but just as deadly. Her heavy sword split the air in a circle, slashing all nearby creatures in green, almost black blood. Her shiny blade was now covered with this putrid liquid and the deep dark blue handle was no longer visible.

Unlike Ralph, who mainly used her great strength granted by her hybrid race, the cat Commander moved her body with agility and precision. She didn't hesitate to lean on the pillars to propel herself fearlessly at her enemies, and when her sword touched the ground, cracks appeared. Her blows were so devastating that they formed a space around her where the monsters ended up piled up, dead.

Emilia slipped through the Nightmares, untouchable, powerful and as sharp as lightning. She jumped, spun, slid, and all in spite of her thick weapon, which she wielded to perfection. As the half-human sliced and heads, arms and legs flew, the creatures decided to use a new tactic. They piled up the ones on the others to gain height and attack Emilia and Ralph by the top.

The two young women were able to ransack their ranks with ease so far, but could not handle the heights. While the Nightmares were coming at them from the ceiling, they were suddenly pushed back and killed instantly by a salvo of arrows and water. In this battle Emilia and Ralph were not alone and could count on air support and as they looked up, a soft voice rang out from the ceiling.

"Keep going, we've got your back !"

"Thank you !"

The voice from above was that of the gentle Trioa fighting from the sky. She stood there above this tide of monsters, beautiful, her long grey hair swept by the wind her wings produced. In her hands she held a bow custom-made by the blacksmith's Leader, as powerful and deadly as it was light. Its handle had been carved out of a light and strong grey stone and both ends were not made of wood but of blades. Thus, the young half-human could also defend herself with it in hand-to-hand combat in case of emergency.

In the heights, Commander Trioa fired arrows at an incredible speed, making her movements almost imperceptible. No matter what creature she aimed at, her attacks always hit their targets even as the half-wyvern whirled in the air. Trioa was supported by her Lieutenant Nella, the harpy who with her water element, killed Nightmares by drowning them. Her attacks were less effective but were more than enough to defend Emilia and Ralph who fought valiantly although surrounded.

Behind the front lines were Nixia, Naia, Thorunn, and Persea, who were attacking from a distance, pushing back any Creatures that tried to get close. The black-scaled lamia twirled her spears of black flame in her hands before throwing them, impaling 5 Nightmares at a time on the pillars, all in the heart. She was dangerously accurate, and whenever a monster got too close, it would end up crushed or swept away by her powerful tail.

Her spears were long, glowing and burned everything in their path. If some creatures didn't die by impalement, they would end up ashes on the ground. These black flames were devastating and the Nightmares being small in size, Nixia had no trouble fending them off by the dozens every second. As if her weapons had come to life, they moved with speed, going back and forth towards the lamia who, once in hand, worked to send them away. From a distance, you could almost tell she was dancing and manipulating her magical weapons with grace and precision.

Naia had almost the same style of attack as Nixia as she used her fire arrows to pierce the enemy. A bit less precise as she didn't aim for the heart, but her attacks were enough to almost kill on the spot. Skulls and bodies burned, sometimes with black flames, sometimes with flames as red as the young vixen's hair.

"Watch out, they're climbing !!"

Naia had shouted these words as the Nightmares began to climb the pillars in an attempt to reach Trioa and Nella. Their toad feet clung perfectly to the stone as they were studded with tiny little hairs that acted as suction cups. The creatures climbed on top of each other, stepping on each other with disgusting, bestial screams and swarming like a cockroach invasion.

While Trioa flew effortlessly through the monsters that were throwing themselves from the top of the pillars to reach her, Nella was having a little more trouble keeping up. For the first time, she was facing attacks from all sides and despite her concentration, she was losing altitude. Though not very intelligent, the Nightmares sensed fear, weakness, and like the deceitful creatures they were, began to target the young harpy to invade her.

"Co...Commander Trioa ! I'm...it's getting worse and worse!"

"Concentrate ! Don't forget to move with the drafts so you don't get tired and definitely don't stay in one place for too long, I'm coming !"

Nella had called out to the half-wyvern for help, who had responded with her ever-soft voice despite the situation. She wasn't far from the others but had called on Trioa because she was her Commander, whom she admired greatly. The young harpy was still managing to avoid the attacks but they were becoming more and more numerous, she felt lost and overwhelmed. She was only level 11 and her experience was nowhere near Trioa's, who wasn't that far away but was struggling to reach her.

While Nella was still holding on, one of the Nightmares on the pillars jumped out with its mouth wide open, ready to tear. It passed very close to the harpy's right wing, but not without tearing off a feather or two, making her lose her balance.

"Aaaaa !!"

Nella was now falling through the air, unable to regain her composure to rise into the air again. Just below her was a sea of monsters waiting to grab her, devour her and tear off her limbs. Her wings flapped in the air but there was no logic to her movements and Nella couldn't fight back as two Nightmares pounced on her. Just as their claws were about to tear into her flesh, they were both suddenly sliced off by something invisible.

Just then, a young woman with golden hair and red eyes leapt from pillar to pillar, crushing heads with her hands and creating a vortex of wind to protect herself before pushing Nella to a specific spot. The young harpy was speechless as suddenly she felt herself land on a bed of plants that had formed to catch her. As she turned her head still shaking, she saw Commander Persea, arms outstretched who had created a thornless bramble bed for her as Thorunn landed beside her breaking the ground beneath her feet.

The maternal dryad smiled fondly and the blood covered vampire licked her fangs with amusement. The young Nella had been saved by two Commanders and couldn't help but blush as she felt the tears well up. Without giving her time to answer anything, as she flew down, Thorunn raised her voice.

"Don't let it break your concentration, you're doing a good job and if you feel tired let us know, we'll know how to act accordingly. LEON LET'S GO !"

"Yes Commander !"

As Nella nodded her head, the beautiful vampire took her turn in the pile of monsters. So far she had only attacked from a distance, but her blood was boiling and now she wanted to fight hand to hand. Her section was the only one that was versatile, able to attack from a distance as well as up close as its members were all mages and powerful races. Leon, her Lieutenant, was a Kobold who used wind magic as well and at her command, had also sunk into the greenish tide.

Like Ralph, Thorunn coupled her physical prowess with her element but seemed more elegant. Her sharp fingernails slit the throats of Nightmares with ease, and whenever they got too close, a gust of wind blew them away. Her red eyes glowed in the night, and her blonde hair, like threads of gold, glistened in the light of Naia's flames and Ralph's glowing explosions.

As elusive as the wind, the vampire Commander slid behind each of her victims to blow their heads off, slit their throats or tear them apart. The more she killed, the more the smell of blood, which didn't disgust her like some people, intoxicated her, turning her into a war machine little by little. Her fangs were out, her gaze was murderous and her appearance although beautiful hid a true beast.

Leon at her side, could not help but look at her for a few seconds as she was so formidable. Her movements were precise, deadly and her magic much more powerful than his. Even the Kobold couldn't get too close for fear of being caught in her violent and dangerous winds that surrounded her Commander. Thorunn was creating a tornado around her where it was possible to see blood, limbs and bodies flying everywhere.

The young succubus who was standing back had been amazed and frightened by the powerful aura of her Empress which had chilled her blood but at this moment it was the Commanders who left her speechless.

At that moment, they were the only ones fighting because a rotation had been planned to avoid fatigue and it was a success. The other warriors were watching, equally amazed at the scene. The monsters surrounded them by thousands and yet the Commanders managed to push them back without a single one being able to pass through them or hurt them. The Empress had not yet entered the battle and watched her powerful soldiers fight with pride and confidence.

"That's...crazy, don't you think ?"

The succubus was talking to Inferno, who had sparkling eyes at the sight, just as mesmerized as Lynn. In front of them were fighting the strongest female warriors of the Empire, chosen by the she-wolf herself. They were efficient, beautiful, powerful and for the first time the young woman was afraid of her allies. It was not a conscious fear but an instinctive one that came from the depths of her soul and heart before such a frightening display of power.

The cloud of monsters was pushed back always further as the minutes passed when suddenly, the voice of Emilia and Ralph rose in the middle of the creatures.

"LUNA ! CAIPY !"

"PERSEA ! YNIR !"

While Ralph and Emilia jumped high into the air to retreat, it was the turn of the last four Commanders accompanied by their Lieutenants to show what they could do. In a perfect coordination, they thus threw themselves with speed and power in this battle which seemed without end.
