Chapter 46 The Dancer Of The Battlefield [Dark Forest War - End]
-- POV General --
The sun was high in the sky but none of its rays could reach the forest because thick clouds had formed. A light rain began to fall as Freya stood among the trees facing 10 men and 9 women. The whip of Kirk, who was now a corpse, had cleared the area of all trees so that a new clearing had emerged.
In the background and hidden under the trees were Freya's new subordinates who had come to observe their Empress in all her grandeur. They each had bound and unconscious mercenaries on their side, whom they had dragged up here by the collar.
The furious adventurers wept silently, clenching their teeth and fists at the sight of the body of their leader and companion. Freya, with a defiant look in her eyes, crushed Kirk's heart in her hand and licked her lips. That was the signal, the men and women couldn't take it anymore as they began to move forward.
"Don't just charge ahead without thinking, we need to switch to formation two !"
Sam, with his huge hammer had taken command and was leading the group while the she-wolf watched them without moving. Without a word, four women and five men, all archers, stepped back and knelt down, aiming their bows at the sky. The remaining 5 women and 5 men did not move as their swords, spears and daggers waited.
"Shoot !!!"
At Sam's command the archers fired bursts of arrows without stopping at Freya who looked up lazily at the tide. Raising her katana to the sky and with one powerful and quick movement all the arrows were swept away in an instant. The adventurers did not understand as Sam ordered another salvo.
"Fire more arrows !"
As the archers complied, the she-wolf could be heard clicking her tongue absolutely weary of the situation. More arrows appeared in the skies as the same scene played out before everyone's eyes.
"Humans...you won't be able to hurt me, let alone kill me, with your bits of wood."
The adventurers were enraged and all wanted to throw themselves at the she-wolf who was openly provoking them after coldly murdering their leader. Sam was probably the most angry at having lost his best friend but he kept a cool head. As he searched for an alternative, the she-wolf advanced on Kirk's body and blew his skull off with a heel strike. His brains exploded with power as many pieces flew to the feet of the horrified humans.
The 9 observers were amazed by the aplomb of the majestic she-wolf. Their eyes were shining and they were holding their breaths impatient to know the next move of the actors of the scene that was playing in front of them.
"How dare you ?!"
Kirk's best friend could no longer control himself as he ran at her followed by his companions. Freya was smiling, glad to finally get some action before their executions. Sam was the first to reach her and as he swung his hammer with force and power the others surrounded her pointing their weapons at her.
The she-wolf was trapped by a wall of humans but didn't seem to care. As the huge hammer came down on Freya and the swords split the air in her direction, she closed her eyes.
Relying only on her other highly developed senses, the Ice Empress wanted to test her body and her ability to react with her eyes closed.
"Am I dreaming or is she closing her eyes ??"
Nixia couldn't believe that Freya was planning to confront them without seeing them and couldn't help but worry. The half-humans beside her did not speak as their hearts beat rapidly with excitement and apprehension in their chests.
"Insolent !"
Freya's actions were driving the adventurer crazy as he was about to touch her on the head. There was nowhere for this closed-eyed she-wolf to go, a hammer was about to hit her while spears and swords were not far off as well.
"Die !"
Suddenly, in one swift fluid motion she avoided Sam's weapon while moving her body in time with the wind to dodge the other attacks. The adventurers were all in shock as she dodged each weapon one by one.
"Attack until she can't move ! Barrier with your body if you have to but pierce her !!!"
The blows began to rain down on the young woman again. Her katana was tucked away at her waist and her eyes were still closed. Freya was moving gracefully with sweeping, precise movements so much so that one could believe she could still see. Her feet were like feathers on the wind, her hair fluttered as her body moved elegantly among the deadly weapons.
The she-wolf was content for the moment, only to avoid and had not attacked once. The sound of iron echoed as the humans were clashing their weapons with each other, unable to even scratch their opponent.
The scene was surreal, a woman fighting an entire group driven by rage and revenge. She stood there with her eyes closed, alone, calm and graceful. She was jumping on swords and spears with her toes and propelling herself in a backward somersault. Freya was landing on her hands to spread the blades with two controlled kicks. Whenever a blow came, no matter the side or the power, Freya always managed to get out of it. The she-wolf was sliding across the floor, leaning on her hands, jumping and moving her incredibly flexible body with such beauty.
"Amazing ! And all with your eyes closed !"
"It looks like...she's dancing..."
"It's incredible and..."
"Beautiful yes"
The 9 warrior women couldn't take their eyes off this other woman whom she respected more and more. In the cold rain as the attacks rained down, Freya remained focused and was dancing with grace.
The Empress seemed to dance in her world as the water streamed down her beautiful face. With each movement, her hair floated in the air glistening with rain beads.
"The dancer of the battlefield..."
Luna had uttered this phrase in awe of the beauty of the scene that the Empress she admired offered her. Some even blushed, unable to take their eyes off this elegant and heavenly woman.
"The most magnificent demonstration of strength that I have ever seen..."
It was Persea's turn to speak while Caipy followed right after.
"Indeed...her Highness completely dominates them and yet she hasn't even begun to attack. Her power is undeniable and so is her superiority. They don't stand a chance."
The elf was right, no one could touch her as the adventurers grew more and more breathless, slowing the flow of their blows. Finally pulling her black blade from its scabbard with her eyes still closed, Freya spun around blocking every strike with her katana making her mastery resonate in the new clearing.
Sam was losing patience and her movements were also becoming sloppy, imprecise and slow. Many of the men and women were also exhausted and almost mad from being unable to land a single blow on her.
"We..we have to find a....way to get her..cough"
As Kirk's best friend and new leader finished his sentence, Freya suddenly opened her eyes. Just then, a powerful aura came out of her, it was colder and a strong wind emanated from her body. The violet eyes were cold and still shining with a cruel glow as the she-wolf smiled showing her gleaming fangs before speaking.
"Thanks for the warm-up. Now let's get down to business."
All the beings present at that moment had their mouths almost wide open. Even the female warriors in the forest were shocked at this statement. Everyone could see that Freya was moving with ease but to compare it to a warm-up was almost beyond the realm of possibility. The adventurers were drenched in rain and sweat and couldn't believe that she was having fun with them.
"Don't be fooled by her words, she's only trying to throw us off !"
As if to illustrate her words, the she-wolf doubled her speed to emerge just behind the archers so far away from their companions and useless. Her black blade pierced the throat of one of the women while the others, frightened, began to scream and run for their lives. Without giving anyone time to reach the trees, Freya increased her speed again. No one could see her anymore as she reappeared behind each runner one by one to kill them.
"Please.."
Without wasting any time and despite their pleas that made her smile she dutifully applied herself. Two women had their throats slit, the last one had the black blade driven deep into her skull and three men had no head or arms left. There were two left and the she-wolf had not forgotten them.
The first was still running as she suddenly grabbed his face and squeezed it, shattering his bones with her strength alone. Brains and blood were running down Freya's hands and arms as she turned her head to the last archer. The last one was paralyzed as she reached his level with a big smile.
"I..n..no..please !"
Little did this adventurer know that begging only made the experience more delicious for Freya. In trying to save his life, he was plunging straight into the monstrous abyss of Hell. Wanting to see his desperation up close, the she-wolf crouched before him, plunging her gaze into his as she broke his entire left leg.
"Aaaarg !"
He screamed to death as Freya still watched in silence as his eyes and face contorted with pain and fear. Just as he thought he would end up impaled by her katana, he saw her come up to his ear and whisper a few words.
"Say hello to your little friends from me".
Before he could answer, the she-wolf sank her fangs deep into his neck and pulled a large piece of flesh out. Blood flowed abundantly from the gaping wound of the adventurer who had not even had time to understand anything. His eyes rolled back before his body fell to the ground with a thud.
As the 11 adventurers ran to help them, the 9 archers were already all dead.
"Noooooo !"
Freya slowly stood up, licking her bloody lips before spitting on the ground over the dead body.
"Tsk disgusting !"
Most of the humans vomited on the ground, unable to bear such a scene, others fell to their knees, dropping their weapons in surrender. A demon stood before them and no one had the strength or will to fight against it anymore. Only Sam was still shouting at Freya and her companions, he had gone crazy and out of control.
"Move you b*tch that's an order !?? Are you afraid ?? You make me ashamed !!"
Fear, anger and sadness had turned into a murderous, vengeful madness. Sam had fallen to his lowest point as he began punching his allies in punishment for being so weak. Freya watched the scene with disgust, not even being surprised at the stupidity of the humans of this world.
"Stand up and fight it's an order !!!"
The she-wolf didn't want to see any more as she charged at Sam to unleash a series of punches at breakneck speed. She controlled her strength so as not to kill him, but his entire body was shattered and the adventurer was struggling to breathe. Sam had only a few hours of life left as his bones had punctured some of his organs making him suffer horribly. Despite his injuries, Freya didn't care that much because a few hours was more than enough time for the rest.
"Glragslaadje"
The adventurer could no longer speak and lay on the ground deformed, unrecognizable and broken. The she-wolf then turned to the remaining 10 humans to see only destroyed souls. Fear had taken over their minds and no one could think straight. All weapons were on the ground as bodies shook violently at Freya's approach.
The remaining adventurers stood there as they could not move and waited for death like a herd being led to slaughter.
"You are much calmer all of a sudden kufufu~ "
The Empress was laughing at the situation as seeing these filthy humans kneeling before her gave her an unparalleled sense of superiority and power. Her 9 subordinates at the back were still as mouthful by her casualness, her power, her cruelty and didn't say anything more. She was perfect, beautiful and dangerously deadly.
"I don't need you and I have a delicious moment waiting for me. Let's get it over with..."
As she said this, the she-wolf went on a one-way rampage. She exploded heads with her feet, broke necks with her hands, slit throats with her katana and tore out carotids with her fangs.
The rain had stopped while in the clearing lay the bodies of the adventurers coldly killed by Freya. The day was clear and beautiful after the rain and the air was extraordinarily clean. Smoke no longer crawled over the surface of the earth, but rose in columns into the blue sky above the bloody scene. The Empress stood in the middle bathed in the divine light of the sun, looking at the corpses with a smile. It was her first victory for her little Kingdom.
The war was over, this fight was over and the dancer of the battlefield had won.
