The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV Freya --

-- PING --

[Do you want to accept Earth Dragon (lvl 28) by your side ?]

[ YES/NO ]

*Shouldn't we wait until she is released to proceed with the contract?*

I didn't know if it was a good idea to bond with her now since she was still locked up here. She seemed obviously impatient, but it wasn't like me to act without thinking.

[There's no right or wrong time, it's up to you Freya-sama. That said, if you do it now, it will be possible for Gaya to recover].

*Oh yes, feeding on my mana is it?*

[That's right. However, that's a figure of speech, she won't literally eat your mana. As a "pet", you will be sharing mana which will then flow into your respective bodies naturally and automatically. This is called feeding on mana and it's safe].

*Is there any downside to this?*

[I don't know if there is, but it is advisable to be physically close to each other, so that the transfer can be made easier. ]

*Uuurg*

It's true that I had planned to gather subordinates in the future, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. Anyway, in the back of my mind I was determined, saving this dragoness would bring me much more than if I left her there. And then I had somehow given my word, even if I had not formulated it in this way, for me it was the same.

Looking at Gaya who must have been wondering what was making me hesitate I asked her.

"Tell me, before I accept...can't you change your appearance? If I take you with me, I can say goodbye to discretion."

A horned wolf as black as night accompanied by a crimson dragon of 5 meters high it does not go unnoticed.

"Well to tell you the truth, I could take on a humanoid appearance but with my non-existent MP's, damaged circuitry and life threatening condition I don't have the ability to do so at the moment. It will probably be several weeks before I recover before I can use it."

"..."

"...But once released I could use the little MP I have left to maintain a much smaller form."

"How small?"

"I'd only be about 3 feet tall with wings of about 50 cm. Let's just say I'd be able to fit on your back after that."

"Oh I see, but I'm stopping you right now, no way ! In any case, let's hurry up and finish this contract, you have a lot to tell me."

"Yes!"

[ Do you want to accept Earth Dragon (lvl 28) by your side ? ]

[ YES/NO ]

*YES*

A blinding purple light then suddenly came out of my body, while from Gaya's body came a faint crimson light. Both of them went to the level of my heart before disappearing completely. The dragoness, weaker than ever, trembled as a symbol was engraved on her... heart ? It was black and purple and represented the fang of a wolf on a dragon's wing.

I didn't really know what it was for, but the deal was done.

-- PING --

[Congratulations, you have made your first contract.]

[You have earned the title: Dragon Tamer.]

[ Because of your new contract, you can now access Earth Dragon (lvl 28) status with more detail. ]

*Kira, show me this.*

[Right away Freya-sama.]

*What do you mean "related to"? Am I not her master?*

Turning to Gaya I noticed that she seemed happy for some unknown reason, I could have sworn I saw her blush.

*What's wrong with her?*

I was confused but for the moment it wasn't the most important thing.

[You can ask her when the whole sealing thing is over.]

*I'll think about it! That said, I didn't know that her skills had levels, and then how does she know her current level if the beings in this world don't have a system?*

[Intelligent beings who can use the elements don't have a system, however, just like you, they can see personal information such as skills, level, HP and MP appear in front of their eyes in one of the corners of their field of vision. I can't tell you more about this, I don't have any other information about it. I recommend that you ask Gaya].

*Aaah still so much mystery! But this is only the beginning. Kira closes her status I will look in detail later on my new title as well as hers.*

Looking up, I could see Gaya waiting patiently for me to say something.

"Well Gaya, there is a lot to talk about, I have a lot of questions about this world and how it works and about this contract, but for now I have to deal with your situation. Tell me about these three creatures that sealed you."

"You can tell you're not wasting time Freya hahaha ~ ...so I"

"Sama"

"Hmm?"

"You are now under contract, I don't know you and I don't like this closeness you allow yourself to have with me. The day I trust you fully you can call me Freya but for now it's 'Freya-sama' understood?"

"It's understood Freya-sama."

I didn't want Gaya to think that I had become her friend. Even though her status didn't mention it, I was her master and I intended not to let her forget it. Maybe I was too suspicious, but for me to trust someone, that person had to be special. And for the moment I had not met this person or these people in my past life or in my present life. Those people that could be called "family".

"Tell me what you know about Warg and the others. Since I'm about to pay them a little visit, I have to put all the chances on my side."

"As I told you, Warg is in the South. He belongs to the race of water scorpions capable of controlling the element of water . Magni in the North is a sphinx controlling rock and Daggus who is in the East is a lightning lion."

"Umu..!" I nodded, motioning her to continue.

"Warg is level 14 and his skills are "Watery Projectiles" for attack and "Wall of Water" for defense. Magni at level 16 has "Rock Rain" for attack and "Stone Body" for defense. As for Daggus level 19, he is the strongest of the three and the most cunning. His attack is "Thunder Sword" and "Lightning Armor".

"Oi! Don't they have any other skills? Why is it always one attack and one defense?"

*Now that I think about it, it's exactly the same for Gaya's status...*

"Freya-sama I don't know what your story is or where you come from, but here once you find your affinity with an element, you are automatically given two skills. One offensive and one defensive...all our life we strive therefore to make them evolve."

[You who possess a unique system and course, it is easy for you to use multiple skills. In this world you are a much more powerful being than you think].

Reflecting on her words heavy with meaning, I began to understand. Although there are other creatures and races above level 10, 20 or even 30, as long as I continued on the path of strength I would be almost invulnerable in the future. I was slowly beginning to realize that the standards of this world made me unique and that my path to the top would be very interesting.

*...um, this information is valuable. The ice shouldn't be an issue, neither the rock...but the lion's attacks could be.*

[If you don't mind me saying, you won't face him until the other two are defeated. It might not be so hard to kill him then].

*Indeed.*

"What I can't figure out is how did they seal you in here? Where did these chains come from?"

There were too many unanswered questions and I didn't like it.

"Freya-sama, these chains are made of pure mana powered by Warg, Magni and Daggus. They are formed when foreign mana is injected into a still body placed on a sealing rune. This altar where I am is rune."

"How did you get here?"

"I don't know, I remember falling asleep in the forest and when I woke up I was here with these three traitors pouring out their mana to create these shackles."

"Oooh?? Did you use the word traitor right??"

Before I knew it, I had this big evil smile plastered on my face in response to Gaya's word. I hated humans, but I also hated traitors just as much, regardless of race, gender or age. I licked my lips without realizing it after making the decision to make them suffer.

"I would break their bones, eat their entrails and bathe in their blood! I would rip off their limbs, gouge out their eyes and feed on their cries of desperation."

After hearing my words, Gaya had frozen...she stood there without moving, as if she understood that she should not say a word. Even Kira was silent. As for me, I could not suppress my obvious hatred for any form of betrayal as well as my anger. My face was neutral while my eyes shone with a wild, cruel glow. My demonic aura came out of my body at full speed as if it suddenly filled the room, as if it could represent my emotions more than my own face. I was going to make them suffer. But I wasn't doing it for Gaya, but for the satisfaction of exterminating these scum, the satisfaction of watching them beg for their lives.

Regaining my composure and retracting my aura, I glanced back at Gaya fearing I had frightened her. I wasn't the type to worry about it until I was shot in the lungs. This was the reward for leading my subordinates using fear rather than mutual trust. One look was enough to tell me that there was no problem, the chained dragoness seemed to admire and respect me for some silly reason. The prospect of revenge no doubt.

"Gaya, how long do you have left?"

"I'd say two weeks, but with the bond we share now maybe a little more."

That meant I had two weeks at most to find the scorpion, sphinx, and lion, kill them, and return.

"All right, I'll be back in a week. At that time we can talk because I have a lot of questions for you and we can decide what to do next."

"Before you leave, can you tell me what your level is Freya-sama?"

"Oh me? Level 11."

"..."

She looked at me not knowing if she should admire me or be afraid I wouldn't come back.

"I will come back I told you, so don't look at me like that! I'm much stronger than you think I am. I can even prove it to you now by turning you into an ice cream skewer if you want."

"No I believe you Freya-sama. Normally no normal living being could have entered here because of the runes on the mountain. Even so you managed to reach me so I'm sure you'll come back, I would never doubt your power."

"Good girl."

Leaving the cave and the mountain, I headed south to confront and kill the scorpion Warg who was first on my list.

*Yosh! Let's go Kira !

I was too far away to see that in the cave, Gaya was smiling like crazy waiting for my return.
