The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya
Chapter 93 Humans Vs She-Wolf [Dark Forest War II - Part IX]-- POV Freya --
-- PING --
[ You have gained 2300 EXP for killing 1 human (level 23) ]
[ You now have +50 attribute points ]
I had just killed the human named Dave for the far too bold words he had spoken. I wasn't a psychopath who killed humans indiscriminately, but I did like to cause pain, to hear screaming and to break those who deserved no mercy. The feeling of making them suffer a fate that they used to inflict on half-humans, filled me with an indescribable thrill.
[Onee-san, you really have to stop this habit of ending up stained with blood.]
My face and clothes were covered in blood but I didn't care. Many people might hate getting dirty but for me it was always almost a habit. I didn't literally love blood like Ralph or Thorunn but I had to admit that the smell of it intoxicated me. Coupled with the screams of my victims, their despair and the life that escaped from them, I couldn't help but always enjoy those moments.
*Sigh, it doesn't bother me you know ? The more blood there is on me, the less blood there is in my victims kufufu~*
[Pfffhaha~ I have to admit that I enjoyed every moment too !]
Kira and I were joking around despite the atmosphere of death around me and my rather terrifying appearance. Our little encounter with these humans was short but had put us in a good mood. Since I had left to meet Dave and his companions, I was completely unaware of what was going on. My telepathic communication had ceased and I had to return to the clearing to continue to monitor what was happening. The Commanders had also lost their telepathic link with Trioa and so they had no idea what was going on either.
*Let's get back to it, we shouldn't keep everyone waiting. Besides, I can't wait to see if the remaining four will manage to come back*
[Well, giving them until dawn is huge so it shouldn't take too long. In fact, they can get there in a few hours if they keep their heads and understand that we're playing with their minds]
*That's right ! After all, this hunt isn't really the end of their nightmare haha~*
I laughed softly as my little sister took on a falsely shocked voice to answer me.
[What do you mean Empress Freya ? Would you lie to these humans and promise them freedom ? What cruelty ! Pfffhaha~]
I didn't care if I lied to them, these humans had entered the forest with the idea of taking as many lives as possible. I felt no shame or pity in playing with them by giving them hope before savagely breaking it. As I smiled mischievously, I raised my hand to my chin and imagined what would happen next.
*In any case, the winners' reward should please them !*
[You're so evil, onee-san !]
While giggling, I disappeared from where I was, running at a breakneck speed towards the clearing where the Commanders and soldiers were waiting for me. While I was already gone, the remains of Dave's body lay motionless in the place that had become his tomb.

It had been several hours since the game had begun and the four remaining humans had finally reached the clearing. The night was still far from over and as Kira had predicted, the remaining four had shown more gumption than the first three.
The twins had been the first to arrive because they had quickly realized the deception. June and May had found their way by the moon, always keeping it on their right side so that they would never get lost. They had had a lot of problems and had almost given up several times, but they had managed to get out of it all the same. The two sisters were unrecognizable, their clothes tattered, their hair matted with what appeared to be branches and leaves. Their previously white skin was now covered in scratches, mud and dust.
The last to arrive were the two men in Sarah's group. They had chosen to fight first and through teamwork had managed to make it back despite the circumstances. Jet and Loyd had fought Ralph and Emilia's soldiers throughout the hunt, but had never come across Thorunn and Nixia's soldiers. They were the only two who had run into soldiers in the entire hunt and yet they had managed to do so.
Sarah and John were still in their ice cages on either side of my throne and were both unconscious. Claire and Paul at their side were not moving, they were still as good as dead, in an eternal state. In all, 6 adventurers were still alive, so we could move on to the next part of the story. As I stood up, I watched the four winners of the hunt stagger towards me, held tightly by Ynir, Persea and Luna. The two young women were about to collapse and the two men no longer had the strength to look at me badly as they had at first. Unlike the humans dressed in red, their minds had not broken, which was perfect for what was to come.
*Good !*
Taking a slight breath, I raised my arms to address all the people who were now gathered. Even the soldiers who had participated had also returned before the twins and were waiting impatiently. All of the Commanders were now standing behind the four humans, their fists over their hearts waiting for what was to come.
"The hunt has ended with four winners although two more are still alive ! So we can move on to the final stage kufufu~. Soldiers, the evening has just begun !"
The soldiers had started shouting and exclaiming while the four humans in front of me did not understand anything. Their exhausted, slow-moving gazes went from Claire to Paul before turning to me. The twins and the two men didn't even have the strength to speak anymore, but Loyd forced himself to do so.
"Release...us..."
As he finished his sentence, the four all collapsed to their knees, unable to bear the weight of their bodies any longer. They had spent the first part of the hardest night of their lives but it wasn't over. As I stepped back slightly to avoid being hit by one of those tired bodies, I calmly replied to the bald man.
"This is not over. It's now time for me to have some fun."
With a snap of my fingers, the cages and my throne disappeared and the Commanders bowed before dragging the four further away.
[I've been waiting for this moment onee-san...]
*Me too !*
I was now surrounded by my entire army and was standing in the middle of an arena made of my soldiers. I was standing in the center of it with John and Sarah still beside me passed out and unaware of what was going on.
"Tonight I will grant this human the honor of fighting me and punish this man for his tongue and insults to the Queen and Princess !"
Turning my gaze to the four victorious humans, still able to think, I squinted my eyes before resuming.
"Take a good look at what's going to happen to them. Don't close your eyes, don't miss anything and enjoy the show if you can..."
I chuckled inwardly as I woke the two adventurers on the ground to fight them. A spike of ice sunk lightly into their shoulders which caused them to wake up instantly.
"Aaaarg !"
"Aaarg what's going on ?"
John and Sarah woke up at the same time, not knowing where they were or what had happened. Gradually, memories seemed to return to their minds and as they got to their feet, their eyes fell on me. I was silent, as stoic as ever, waiting for one of them to speak. Sarah was less hysterical because passing out had calmed her down but her eyes still betrayed the same hatred.
"Mon...monster ! What have you done to us ?"
The green-eyed young woman looked around before noticing John at her side. He too was stunned and wanted to know why he was here before me. I didn't want to drag this out any longer so I hurried to explain.
"You two are going to fight me. Our little game is over and it's time for me to let off some steam of my own !"
At my words, Sarah and John smiled and it was easy for me to guess their thoughts. Alone he would not have been serene but with two of them they thought it would be possible to defeat me. I didn't care, it even made our fight more exciting and interesting.
"Oh~ If I am to believe your smiles, you think you are capable of killing me ?"
The answer was obvious, but I wanted to anger and provoke them. The Commanders, Lieutenants, and soldiers began to laugh as I had intended while the two humans facing me clenched their fists in fury.
"You ! I'll make you regret everything you've done !"
"You killed our companions and locked Sarah up like a beast !"
Sarah and John were screaming and I could feel their desire to kill me increasing.
*Perfect, I'll add the finishing touch !*
Looking arrogant, superior and disdainful, I lifted my chin to stare at the young woman in front of me before speaking. My voice was cold but had a hint of disgust with a bit of mockery.
"Everything I've done ? Do you even have any idea what I've really done ?"
Sarah was silent and waiting, while I continued to confess with amusement how I had fun tormenting her. In a loud voice so that everyone could hear me clearly, I spoke again.
"Do you know how we knew about your arrival ? Do you know how you fell into our trap ? Why were we so well prepared ? Well I'll tell you..."
Pointing to Vig and Alayna still hidden by a hood, I waited for them to remove it before continuing. Everyone's eyes were on them as their masks fell off and all the adventurers discovered who was hiding among us.
"Yes ! Vig and Luna who goes by the name of Alayna. There are humans here who are not rotten like you and who wish to live in peace with us. You and your comrades have been blinded by your bloodlust, not noticing that it was leading you to your doom !"
Sarah and John said nothing but looked at those they considered traitors with anger and disappointment. Not even giving them time to speak, I spoke up again, this time addressing only Sarah.
"Oh by the way ~ I'm the one who killed your little brother Kirk. I broke his will, cut off his legs, ripped out his heart and crushed his skull. He used a fire whip and thought he was all powerful but he was pretty weak and whiny in the end kufufu~ If the little brother wasn't even worth it, maybe the big sister will raise the bar, right ?"
As I finished my sentence, a defiant smile appeared on my face, while the black-haired woman's face turned redder and redder. No one spoke anymore, breaths were cut off and everyone's heart was pounding.
"You...everything...everything is your fault !"
Sarah was shaking more and more as she picked up my black katana that I had left with her, still near her. She wasn't using mana but I could feel an aura slowly coming out of her body, representing her ever-growing bloodlust and anger. John next to her had also been affected by my words and was gritting his teeth almost making them explode with anger.
"That's it. That's good, take out your anger and frustrations and come fight me !"
It was my turn to grin crazily and shake with excitement as for the first time I felt the most interesting fight of my second life coming on. I snapped my fingers once more and a huge cage made of ice appeared around the three of us, preventing any escape or outside intervention.
[Convenient, you didn't even spend MP]
I was indeed using the ambient mana to form this ice even though I had been concentrating for several minutes already to make it appear. As John and Sarah approached me with a murderous look on their faces, I jumped high into the air before for the first time in front of everyone, assuming my original form.
"What..."
My opponents were shocked, as were the many soldiers who had never had the chance to see me in this appearance. I was much larger than a normal wolf and my black fur was still as mesmerizing and beautiful as before. My fangs were huge, sharp, ready to tear and slice these humans with great pleasure.
"A..a divine beast !"
"Amazing.."
"I have never seen this race before."
All the soldiers without exception were speechless and even the Commanders who had seen me in this form before were amazed. My two black horns were pointing at the moon and seemed to reflect it, and my ever-purple eyes had become even more terrifying and savage.
Sarah and John were still angry, but there was confusion and fear on their faces at the thought of fighting an unknown and powerful beast. As I landed on the ground with a huge thud, a gust of wind blew everyone back a few feet as I spoke. My voice was cold, powerful, commanding and deeper than ever.
"Come closer !"
The beginning of my fight had begun.
