The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

[N/A: I tried to do my best for this chapter focused on the fight, it's harder to write than the heartwarming moments. I hope you can visualize the scene well]

-- POV Auctioneer --

*Tonight's auction should be a success! Thanks to our men patrolling the city we were able to collect some truly unique specimens !*

The main hall of Lord Harker's mansion was packed with nobles who came to buy half-human slaves. Until now they had all been held by the lord and were only on the street at his pleasure. For the first time since he took over the city, an auction was held to get rid of his slaves and make money.

The nobles had all flocked like ants for the chance to unearth an exceptional slave that they could finally take home. The prospect of having an object to hit for some or to use sexually for others was much too tempting to pass up this opportunity. So the room was packed with noble humans who had come to participate.

I stood there on the large dais facing the door of this large room and had to start the evening which was going to be rich and full of gold coins.

"Hello everyone! Thank you for coming in such large numbers to our first slave auction. They are of all races and ages so don't worry you should all find something you like !"

The crowd was quiet and eager as I continued.

"Our specimens are all currently under lock and key in the highest room of the mansion so don't worry they won't run away either hahaha~! We'll go get them once I tell you about the three stars of this evening !"

Three of our slaves were particularly special, they were a bull headed man very rare in this kind of land, an elf man and finally a small white haired half human wolf. She had been brought here in a hurry a few hours ago after being spotted by one of our guards. The girl was in an alley, eyes closed and ears plugged, while human children seemed to be beating a young half-human man. He hadn't seen anything but the screams seemed to belong to a companion of this half-human.

"I hope you are comfortable! As I told you we have three particularly special half-humans tonight ladies and gentlemen! A minotaur, an elf and a white-haired wolf half-human !"

The eyes of the nobles seemed to be filled with greed and desire for these 3 specimens never before seen within the walls of this city. The little one apparently lived here but no one had noticed her until today, how lucky !

"The last one seems a bit too young to use her body, but her buyer will do what he wants! I don't judge so..."

Before I could even finish my sentence, a huge, thudding noise was heard outside the mansion. We were on the ground floor and only two doors were in the room, a huge one to get out of the mansion and another one to go up to the next floors.

"Don't worry, probably some trouble unrelated to our evening here, the guards will take good care of this troublemaker."

Just as I finished my sentence, the door to the entrance shattered to reveal a figure. As she stepped forward, everyone in the room could see what she looked like. She was a half-human with ears and a tail as black as her hair. But she was different because she had two horns on her forehead...I had never seen a species like her. Her frightening eyes swept across the room to rest on us. They were cold, mesmerizing and dangerous.

As she walked towards us, a powerful and natural aura filled the space, seeming to distort the air. It was cold, colder and colder, but I couldn't say how this phenomenon was possible.

Without even explaining why she was there, two huge walls of ice appeared in front of each door to block our exit. The nobles panicked, some even began to hesitate to utter incantations to defend themselves.

*What's going on ?*

I couldn't understand how the situation had gone from wonderful to chaotic in a split second, I only knew that the person responsible was that filthy half-human creature.

"GET THAT SCUMBAG"

The guards assigned to the house were not mages but seasoned swordsmen who were well-versed in forms of combat. She had no weapon and seemed to be unable to incant her ice magic after forming these walls.

"She has no mana left, grab her and lock her up with the others !*

As I gave my instructions, asking the nobles to calm down in the back of the room, the 20 guards present threw themselves at her as one.

*It's all over for her.*

As I thought this, her figure disappeared and reappeared behind two guards before thrusting her two arms into their torsos leaving a huge hole in place of their hearts. The young woman had them in her hand and was crushing them with a single press.

"A DEMON !!! SHE'S A DEMON !!!"

The nobles were terrified and screamed as she fought each of the guards with ease. Arms were torn off, bodies dismembered as she moved with grace avoiding each sword strike easily.

The monster was smiling as blood spurted down her white face, making her feel like death from another world.

She didn't even need a weapon because only her body was enough to neutralize all the guards. You could see her hands crushing skulls with ease, her knees destroying rib cages and the worst was to see her rip the jugular of some with her teeth. She was wild, precise, cruel and deadly.

I couldn't feel my legs anymore, the scene that was playing out before me had paralyzed me with fear. The nobles around me were fainting or vomiting in front of this spectacle of a rare cruelty.

"Please..."

Some of us were still able to articulate, but with unimaginable effort. There we were, locked in with a filthy half-human beast covered in blood from head to toe.

The creature looked up at us after unilaterally annihilating all 20 guards in just a few seconds that to us seemed like hours.

"Where...i...my...d.."

She was muttering words that I couldn't understand, so to try and calm her down I decided to argue.

"Ex..excuse me ?"

"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER ?!?!?"

Her voice shook the walls of the mansion as I could see in her eyes a huge anger and a wild glow. She was looking for her daughter and hadn't started killing the nobles yet, if I played it right I might be able to save us.

"That..calm down..we.."

A nobleman's head flew to the other end of the room as she spoke her words.

"This is me allowing you to speak. Now tell me where my daughter is and I will let you go."

I nodded at her request, even though I didn't know who she was talking about.

[ You have earned 10,000 EXP for killing 21 humans. ]

I ignored the notifications as I looked at the man standing before me. He was livid with fear but I didn't care, at that moment all I cared about was finding Shiro. Containing my anger, I knew I had to know where it was before I could lash out. I didn't feel like arguing any longer so I quickly gave her description.

"Small, white hair, wolf ears and tail."

As I looked at him intently waiting for his answer, he managed to stammer out a few words.

"In...in the highest room of the manor. The lord is there..with...with the key to the slave room."

My blood boiled like it had never boiled since I had appeared in this world. My heart was screaming and I was feeling more and more guilty. Having gotten the information I needed, I grabbed the man by the neck.

"You...you said that..."

"I thought I heard you call me a scumbag earlier didn't I ? Besides, I lied to you, just so you know, I wouldn't let a single human live in this mansion. Now die like the pathetic bug that you are."

His neck had just snapped under the pressure as his lifeless body crashed to the floor like a rag doll. The remaining nobles numbered 50 and were shivering and huddled together.

"Mer...mercy"

"Don't kill us.."

"I have gold...I...I'll pay you !"

I walked towards them as they all spouted their bullshit that I didn't want to hear. Reaching the first one, I shoved my hand into his neck killing him instantly, the second one had his rib cage shattered by my right kick while the left one flew into the head of the third one taking him out in the process.

[Don't you want to use your skills ?]

*No, I want to train my body and see what it can do in combat. Now please don't bother me little sister, I'm not in the mood.*

Kira knew better than anyone that I should not be disturbed when I was in this state. A state where I would kill everyone on sight for making a single move. I wasn't one to yell often and although I did earlier on impulse, my anger was often calm. The calmer I was, the more cruel and sadistic my actions were. And I also found that the calmer I was on the outside and the more angry I was on the inside, the colder the air naturally became around me.

In my mind there were 3 different stages of anger in me: raising my voice, screaming and then calming down and killing without stopping. I was currently in the third stage and I wanted to get rid of every human being in this mansion. The calm facade of my face hid an immense anger, it was not for nothing that I was calm because if my mind were to match my anger and my face...I would be nothing but a raging beast unable to think.

*I must hurry..!*

Running across the room, I continued my slaughter faster. Heads were ripped off, eyes crushed, tongues cut out, jugulars torn apart as the cries of despair echoed in unison. Soft music to my ears only slightly soothing the ocean of anger that was stirring in my mind at that moment.

There were two humans left who seemed to be dead in the head after witnessing this. They couldn't speak or run away so to go faster I grabbed their heads in each of my hands to crush them simultaneously in an explosion of blood and a sadistic smile of satisfaction.

*Gaya's title ? What does that have to do with it ?*

[...]

*We'll see about that later, once this story is over we'll make a point! I must hurry to reach this room before something happens to her !*

I broke through the back wall of ice to get to the stairs that led to the upper floors of the mansion. If the man was telling me the truth, Shiro must be on the top floor, the third floor.

"Wait for me Shiro !!"
