Perfect Avatar-Chapter 238: The Pride Of An Ant
Chapter 238: The Pride Of An Ant
Freya sat on the ground, staring at the change in geography created by a living being, her head bobbing on her shoulders, forcing her gaze to rest on the frozen ground.
Everyone else, Eryl, Liliana, Marie, Hope Cid, but also Giudecca, the giant wolf and the black knights were on the ground, all intently observing the valley.
Nefertari, her swords on the ground, watched the geographical change, it was faint, but it was possible to see the forest.
She didn’t need more to understand the fate of their comrades, and so, her head imitated Freya.
Someone once said that a pseudo-avatar could bear his fangs in a Sin Avatar, but here the general showed the second half of the quote.
No matter how good a sub was, the real deal would always be on another level.
"Alright."
Rhea put away her sword, the remaining warriors of Ambrosia, reduced to Eryl’s group, stopped any attempt to fight, the battle was over.
The servant closed her eyes, completely defeated, Marie was devastated, but as Giudecca landed further away, she felt a new surge of anxiety.
In Hope’s case, the boy holding the sword kept his eyes fixed on the valley.
It was not just a cut in the cliff, but the entire space behind it had been transformed into a new country.
In memory, since Dora never bothered to do anything since his awakening, this was his first experience with the true power of a Sin Avatar.
"...How is it possible?"
The giant wolf’s body shook, the beast began to shrink, losing its fur, and soon, the young woman emerged, completely naked with several cuts and burns on her body.
"Ouch-ouch-ouch...Giuddyyy...You hurt me...Why did you keep attacking?"
She looked like she was about to cry, Giudecca gave her a side eye, then whimpered.
"Stop whining, I’m not in the mood to hear your shenanigans."
"Is it because of this girl here?"
She glanced at Marie, the puppeteer was beading with sweat, but Giudecca gave a death glare to Lucca who jumped in fear.
"S-s-sorry!!! It’s just... I thought she was... Ehm... Giuddy, you called her a big s-"
Giudecca slapped Lucca’s exposed butt with a military jacket, the young woman squealed and crouched down with tears in her eyes.
"Wear something instead of spewing nonsense, you big-ass nudist!"
She threw the garment at her comrade, the poor lady moaning in pain.
Rhea looked at them from a distance then rolled her eyes. She took off her hat and brushed off the dust.
"This was a real waste of time, and now I have to make an effort to make it worth it. You two, follow me."
She walked towards Eryl’s group, Nefertari and Freya looked at her with some difficulty understanding the events, but they still got up and carried out Rhea’s order.
They were already defeated, they couldn’t escape, and she just showed the horror of her attack range anyway.
Everyone was gathered in the center, Fenrir’s army on one side with Rhea sitting on an ice rock and her two subordinates standing next to her, and in front of her, Freya, with her comrades at her side.
The General and the young duchess looked at each other, then the first broke the ice.
"Now, chosen ones of Ambrosia, I want to know everything about you. Your presence in Kalaharis, the Elf Queen, your true leader, Sloth and everything you know about the Avatar of Greed."
Freya flinched, she stared at Rhea who never blinked all the time. She opened her mouth at first, hesitantly, then a small laugh escaped her lips.
"What’s the point?"
Behind her, her comrades gave her frightened looks, Marie, Eryl and Nefertari still gassing the ground.
Freya raised her head,
"What’s the point, General? You’re going to kill us anyway, so why should we talk?"
Giudecca frowned, while Lucca raised an eyebrow. On Freya’s team side, Cid began to tremble.
"Hey...Freya...You should..."
"I only want to hear her voice." Rhea almost sent him to the ground with her voice alone.
Her eyes were still fixed on Freya, as if they were in their own world.
"You don’t want to talk? I don’t believe in your acting, if you had been resigned you wouldn’t have stopped fighting when I asked you to, so why this change now? Do you think I won’t kill you just because I let you talk?"
"...I already told you that I’m done being people’s toy. You want to kill us? Then kill us, you won’t have the honor of seeing me hope."
Freya showed more frustration than fear, she and Rhea were in a staring battle without anyone daring to intervene.
"Let’s suppose..." the general murmured. "Suppose I decide to let you go free, free and alive, will you cooperate then?"
Freya began to lose the battle of vision as she widened her eyes.
"What... What do you say?"
"I said I would be willing to spare you if you cooperate with me. Don’t make me repeat myself."
The group behind looked at each other with concern. In front of them, the black knights stood motionless.
They were done, they were at the mercy of their opponents, they could just torture them for their answers, but here they were, trying to negotiate with them.
Rhea was stoic, while Freya’s teeth were visible.
"...Are you kidding me?"
Giudecca and Lucca flinched, everyone in the small group began to panic as Freya’s aura began to leak out.
"Spare us? You want to spare us? You want to hear us, so you will spare us? Are you serious?"
"I never lie, I won’t repeat myself."
A gust of wind swept through the area, Freya’s aura was now visible. Giudecca and Lucca stepped forward, but Rhea raised her hand to incite them to calm down.
"How dare you... say that you will spare us... when you and your knights have killed my people?"
A gust of wind swept across the general’s face, blowing away her hat at the same time.
"I came to speak to you personally, I asked for your help, I told you things I knew, but how did you react? You didn’t care for a second, you made fun of us and you left your soldiers to kill my people... You killed some of them yourself, so why are you trying to spare us now?!"
"Isn’t the answer pretty obvious?"
Rhea stood up, the two girls were face to face, the warriors of Ambrosia and the two subordinates stepped back.
"I’m sparing you because I have power, you are ants at my disposal, so why should I kill you? I just decided to spare you here because I felt like it. Your information is just a bonus I could do without."
"...Then you can do without it."
Freya made a gesture that startled her comrades and even the two subordinates.
"...Lady Freya, no!"
"Is this bitch serious?"
With her hand pointed at Rhea, Freya stood still, her eyes filled with anger and disdain.
The General never took her eyes off her.
"You know this won’t have any effect on me, right?"
"It’ll have on me, I’ll enjoy blowing something up on you...and I’ll make sure to blow it hard enough to take out most of your knights."
"Even if it won’t change anything?"
Freya’s hand began to glow, Giudecca and Lucca flinched, they were confident in the outcome of the battle, but there was a reason why anyone meeting Freya was aware of her presence.
She was the strongest among humans, among those who had not crossed the realm of Sins, and not anyone was strong enough to withstand an explosion so close.
Suddenly a sound of applause was heard, everyone watched with great anxiety.
Rhea applauded, with the hand of misfortune only inches in front of her.
Freya kept an impassive face, the General finally closed her eyes with a smile.
"Well done. What a wonderful display of honour, I’m almost moved. Is your name Freya? I’ll make sure to remember that."
"...Then kill me now."
"But as emotional as I am, I’m afraid I can’t let you die here, right now."
She looked at the girl, this time with a serious look.
"I was just testing you, the reason we didn’t kill you is much more interesting than that. Simply put, the people living here, minus one, are the closest to something we’ll ever need."
Freya’s hand stopped glowing, she lowered it with a disdainful look at the General.
"...Let me guess, the pseudo-avatars?"
"I’m starting to like you, I have consideration for intelligent people. That’s one of the reasons we’re here. Your people shine with the potential of all sins, with a little help you will be able to enter a whole new world...but..."
She took another step forward, the two girls were almost face to face, eye to eye. Rhea smiled at Freya, then her hand began to glow purple. freeweɓnøvel.com
"I prefer not to say more, so instead of words, I will propose you something more tangible. Freya, I will go against my words for the first and last time, so listen to me."
She raised her hand, a burst of aura swept across the area, the people closest to them almost fell to the ground, but Freya remained still.
The energy took a distinct shape in the General’s hand, and its form eventually caused a reaction in Freya.
"Human burning with the fire of honor, If you answer all my questions and lead us to Envy, I, Rhea Silva, Sin Avatar of Pride, will offer you part of my soul..."
In her hand, a soul stone released waves of phenomenal energy.
Freya observed the object, as if hypnotized, then at the General who concluded with a final smile.
"...And Fenrir will take action against the Twilight of The Gods."
