The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

Chapter 88 The Humiliation Of Sarah I [Dark Forest War II - Part IV]

-- POV General --

Freya was finally in front of Sarah, who had dropped Emilia in surprise at her sudden appearance. The soldiers and commanders were in charge of keeping the adventurers in the clearings as another plan was being put into place at this very moment. The Empress had watched Sarah from a high point and had come to the conclusion that she was quite capable of defeating her commanders if she did not intervene quickly. Freya trusted her army and her leaders, but the adventurer was 16 levels higher than them and should not be taken lightly.

There were no serious injuries among the soldiers despite the natural fear that had overtaken them, but seeing their commanders fight hard and succeed in hurting this woman had created a trigger. They were not in a game, the battle was real and they had to give everything to protect the forest from these humans. The arrival of the Empress shortly afterwards was enough to revive frightened hearts, exhausted minds and injured bodies. She had arrived out of nowhere and in only a few seconds had broken Sarah's weapon, stopping her deadly blow with only her powerful jaw. The clearing was completely silent, even the fighting of the other commanders and adventurers had ceased as everyone watched the she-wolf under the moonlight.

"Empress Freya !!!"

"This human is already dead"

"It's her Highness, she's finally here !!!"

"We have already won !"

After a few seconds that had seemed to last several minutes, the dozens of soldiers began to cheer the one they thought was invulnerable. None of them had seen her fight, not in training or anywhere else, and the excitement was building. Sarah now felt like a freak in the middle of an arena made by those she hated the most. She already felt humiliated by the she-wolf and couldn't help but try to belittle her in front of her subordinates to no avail.

"So your name is Freya huh ? Tsk, that name sounds so human and I hear you call yourself Empress ? Pfff aren't you even ashamed ? You may lead these useless animals but you are not a leader at all. You are nothing Freya ! And know that I don't need your pity or your weapon !"

Sarah spat her words like venom, her gaze fixed on the she-wolf and her face wearing a crazed smile. Freya didn't move or respond as she analyzed her behavior calmly and contentedly. The leader of the adventurers had lost her footing and by trying to humiliate the Empress, she was only humiliating herself.

"I don't know what you are, but the abominations that this world has spawned must all perish ! To me you are nothing more than another ugly person trying to become someone important ! If you really are an Empress, then Empress of trash suits you very well hahaha~ you wear a mask to hide your cowardice and ugliness from the world !"

The she-wolf was obviously annoyed by this speech but absolutely did not show it. She knew that the time would come when Sarah would realize that she had made a big mistake. "Everything comes to the one who knows how to wait" was the sentence Freya kept repeating to herself so as not to blow her head off.

"Ugly ?"

Was the word the she-wolf had uttered after the hysterical human's monologue. Without making a single move, her mask disappeared under the gaze of everyone who was shocked and taken by surprise. The adventurer could finally see her face and as the Empress spoke again, Sarah had become mute.

"First, these abominations you speak of were all born here, why shouldn't they have the same right to exist as you ? Secondly, my title of Empress doesn't matter, what matters is what I do for those I have sworn to protect. Third, congratulations, with your words you just made your death more painful than expected and finally...get my name out of your dirty mouth. Don't ever speak my name again !"

As she had spoken, her voice had grown colder and colder, the air in the clearing had become almost frigid and a murderous purple light shone in the she-wolf's eyes. Her voice was calm, but to those present, it was even more frightening and startling than words spoken in a shout of anger. Even Freya's allies began to tremble as Sarah said nothing more.

"..."

She couldn't look away from the Empress' heavenly beauty as she was beset with conflicting feelings. The adventurer had called her ugly but the reality was quite different and beyond her imagination. How could she be so gorgeous ? Why had such a creature been given such a gift ? The more she was seduced by Freya, the more she hated her. Sarah would never admit it, but her heart was beating faster than it had ever beaten before. What she had felt when she met Alayna was nothing compared to this beauty that always drove her a little crazier. Her body trembled with excitement and fear but at this moment, what she wanted most was to make her hers.

"Have you lost that tongue you used earlier to insult me ?"

While Sarah was still immersed in her world, the Empress' question snapped her out of her trance. The battle of the female commanders and the other adventurers had resumed, and hers had yet to begin.

-- POV Sarah --

*What...what is happening to me ? Why am I so attracted to her when she is just a subrace ?*

I felt both attracted and seduced by this half-human while I hated her and wanted her to crawl at my feet. Her face was perfect, far too perfect to be real. It wasn't possible, the more I looked at her, the more I felt drawn in.

"Have you lost that tongue you used earlier to insult me ?"

With every word this woman spoke, my muscles redeemed themselves and shivers ran through my body without me being able to do anything about it.

"You ! What did you do to me ?"

I wasn't myself anymore, I was hot, my injured face was red and my heart was uncontrollable. Why had I become like this ? Without even answering me, a smug smile appeared on her beautiful face.

*Sarah, get a grip on yourself ! She's just a piece of trash like the rest !*

"Alright, let's dance a little, shall we ?"

I was still busy trying to figure out what was happening to me when the half-human disappeared at a blinding speed to appear on my right. She was fast and with a punch in the shoulder she sent me to the ground in only a few seconds.

"Aaaarg *cough*...*cough* how.."

"Get up !"

The leader of all these many subraces was several feet away from me and was still looking at me with coldness and disdain. I hadn't seen anything coming but what was weird was that I didn't have a broken bone. Was I finally stronger than her ? Or had she reduced the power to play with me ? Everyone I had fought before was surrounding us and looking at us with unbounded admiration for my opponent. I was being humiliated in front of so much garbage and that I couldn't accept.

"You...you'll see !"

This time I knew I didn't have time to enjoy myself. The one that had appeared a few minutes ago already, was much more powerful than the other two. I had no time to think and I had to act. I threw myself on her with all my strength and abilities as she finally started to move. I had no weapon left so I tried to hit her with my strength without ever reaching her. Besides being unfairly beautiful, she was graceful, agile as if nothing could reach her.

*H...how does she do it ? Could she be of a higher level than me ?*

I wasn't out of breath yet, but nothing seemed to be able to shake her as a smug smile appeared on her beautiful face again. With the back of her hand, in an instant, the scumbag slapped me in the face and it echoed loudly in the forest. She had aimed at the burn and I had felt the skin peel off while an extreme pain made me put a knee on the ground in spite of me.

"Aaaarg that hurts !"

"Well...yes this is the point"

It was so intense that my eyes had started to water with no control over it. The cruel woman was advancing towards me still without a word as she raised her second hand to slap me on the other cheek and then the other, again and again.

"Wait I...aaarg...wait...aaarg !!"

The sound of slapping went up in the clearing and the more she hit me, the more the subraces around us were stomping their feet and making noise to encourage her. I could even hear some of them giggling as I was once again on the ground in the dust. Just by appearing, she had turned the tables.

-- POV General --

Sarah had just been slapped 10 times by Freya. The she-wolf had not used her strength and had only hit her in the face for the moment without killing her or breaking anything. The adventurer's face was swollen, bloody and she was no longer recognizable. The Empress was amused and took great pleasure in ridiculing her in front of her subordinates whom she could obviously hear whispering with her extraordinary hearing.

"Unbelievable ! This human can't do anything !"

"With us she seemed so powerful and now she's on the ground"

"I hope that her Highness will give us a nice show"

"Of course ! I heard that when she gets serious even we have to be careful !"

Sarah could also hear all the murmuring and couldn't help but curse all those who no longer feared her at all since Freya arrived. Picking up a handful of dirt she threw it in the Empress's face before running to pick up the black katana she had thrown before. Freya's head was turned and she sighed as Sarah ran to impale the sword in the heart of the she-wolf. With a simple sideways step, the sword planted itself in her right shoulder as everyone watched the scene in horror.

"Hahahahaha~ your weapon is very useful indeed thank you !"

The green-eyed adventurer with an unrecognizable face laughed again before realizing that no scream had come out of Freya's mouth. Her violet eyes were still observant and despite the blade in her shoulder, the Empress did not flinch. Her black hair flew in the wind and her face was calm, almost serene and amused.

"Impossible !!! Why can't you scream like..."

Sarah couldn't finish her sentence as a kick crashed into her stomach, causing her to spit blood and pull the sword from the she-wolf's shoulder. Without a word, Freya grabbed Sarah by the neck as blood poured from her wound where she had been hit.

"You don't dance well enough, do I have to give you a reason to give everything you have ?"

As her eyes darted into the leader's, a crack sounded, followed by a hoarse, loud scream.

"Aaaaaargh!!!"

Freya had just broken the pinky finger of Sarah's left hand with a sadistic smile before continuing to speak.

"If I motivate you a little, maybe you'll be able to give me a good performance"

Four more cracks sounded as the adventuress had her feet no longer touching the ground, lifted by the injured Empress in the shoulder. The pain was insurmountable, for Sarah had never been hurt like this before. She had always been the torturer and not the tortured and today the roles had been reversed. Her left hand had turned blue and her fingers were going in all directions, broken into a thousand pieces. While the leader was experiencing such intense pain for the first time, her pants started to get wet little by little. She was scared and couldn't hold back from urinating in front of everyone as the liquid ran down her trembling legs. Even the soldiers were speechless in front of their Empress who did not even flinch from her actions. They were admiring and at the same time frightened, being happy to be on the same side.

"Tsk...pathetic !"

Freya with a look of disgust, let go of her neck as Sarah crashed to the ground. Blood was still flowing from her shoulder so with her right hand, she stopped the bleeding by freezing the wound.

"Mmh I wanted to test my resistance to pain, this seems to be working well"

The people around couldn't believe that she had deliberately gotten hit for a simple test. Silence had returned in front of this surreal and completely hypnotizing scene. While grabbing Sarah by the hair on the ground, still shocked by the pain, the she-wolf dragged her to the middle of the arena her soldiers had made before speaking in a powerful voice.

"Those who want to fight her again, step forward ! I'll watch you and then play with her ! If you want to fight it's now !"

The adventurer at these words began to tremble again with anger and fear. She no longer cared about her face or her appearance because the situation had become far too critical.

"I...I have to kill as many as I can! It's now or never !"

A few soldiers hesitantly stepped forward as Freya threw Sarah to the ground like a useless thing. As she was about to give way to the others, Freya leaned over to whisper a few words to the adventurer.

"Show me something more entertaining please, I have plenty of things planned for you kufufu~"

The Empress of Ice had a frightening face, wearing a wild and cruel smile. Her eyes shone dangerously as her tongue ran delicately over her pink lips. Sarah's humiliation was just beginning.
