The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV Freya --

The day was about to dawn as the moon could be seen disappearing. My blood-stained jet-black fur rippled in the cool twilight wind. I stood there, above this scum who a moment ago was so arrogant. Now he was pathetic and weak and inspired only disgust and anger. Warg was unconscious because of the level of pain I had caused him by tearing off his limbs. Quickly breaking his jaw so he couldn't make any incantations, I was stunned.

*Sigh...not even able to endure this and you think you are powerful? Poor insignificant insect !*

At this moment, I would have liked so much to be able to talk to him. In my past life when I tortured people in the organization, I always used mental torture in addition to physical torture.

My skills were such that I could break dozens of humans without having to touch them. Using the power of my words, they were like venom pouring into the hearts of these men. Sometimes gentle and motherly, sometimes cruel and cold, or dominant and majestic, I could become anyone I wanted.

"Grrgrrgrr."

*Raaaah stupid wolf voice!!! All I can do is growl.*

[Freya-sama, I'm sorry I can't do anything. If he doesn't have the telepathy skill there's nothing we can do.]

*It's okay, I'll take out my frustrations in another way hehehe ~*

If Warg could have heard my cold voice at that moment, he would have certainly wished he was dead before his nightmare started.

My amethyst eyes shone with an intense and dangerous glow as a thought crossed my mind.

*Tell me Kira...*

[Yes?]

*Would you like to participate a little?*

[I don't understand.]

Giggling slightly I pointed one of my claws at the fainting scorpion at my feet.

*Don't you have any interesting suggestions to start our little game of experiments?*

[I..]

*Don't you want to see him suffer for hurting me? Don't you want to hear his cries of despair? Don't you feel angry?*

Since I was born on this earth, I had never been alone. Kira who was the helper of my system, over time had developed into more than just a system for me. During all my existence I was alone and the forced cohabitation with her did not really delight me at first. But then, little by little, I got used to having her around. From then on, I started to act with her as when I was alone, being even grateful for her presence. I didn't have to go through all this alone, even for a seasoned loner like me it was a huge mental burden.

To thank her, today I wanted for the first time to make a gesture for someone other than myself. I wanted her to tell me what she wanted, although I already had a small idea of what it was.

*Tell me what you want Kira.*

[I've learned a lot from you and if you ask me to be honest I'll tell you that right now I really want to avenge you in some way. I can't explain it].

Listening carefully, I let her continue.

[I have never really had any desire other than to serve you, I was programmed to be that way. But after being with you all this time, I can feel this desire for superiority and dominance sprouting up inside me. Although I am still trying to understand the concept of emotions, I am all too familiar with those that arise in your mind. I feel like I am just like you. We are one body, we experience and feel the same things. I am you and you are me but we are different and at the same time one. A unique, beautiful and unstoppable being. I am Kira and today what I want more than anything in the world is to see Warg suffer].

-- PING --

[The unusual determination shown in the entity named Kira "system helper" has allowed her to learn self-awareness].

[ Congratulating, the host obtained the unique skill: Second Soul (lvl max) ]

I suddenly felt a part of my soul split inside me.

*What...*

[FREYA-SAMA!!!]

Kira seemed just as shocked as I was by this news.

*Second soul? What is this?*

[Second Soul (max lvl) - unique skill: a second soul formed from the Kira entity. Acting independently of the host and able to take control of its elements (ice and chaos) to support it. ]

*Kira its crazy!!!*

[I...I'm not the system helper anymore? I...I'm me?]

Kira was confused, the system's shocking announcement had caught us both off guard. Although stuck in my mind, Kira had always done her best to assist me. She didn't know much about the world, she was discovering emotions, desires and I had repeatedly caught her being confused, sorry or even worried. I didn't know what to say either but I felt happy and proud of her. It was a whole new feeling, like the pride of seeing someone fly for the first time with their own wings.

Breaking the silence, Kira spoke.

[Freya-sama I think I've become a soul in my own right!]

If Kira could have had eyes, I could have sworn she would have started crying.

*Let's drop the "Freya-sama" okay? I've trusted you long enough now, you were born with me and we share the same body and the same goal. I respect you and you are not my subordinate, so from now on we are equals Kira.*

[Freya-sa..um...how should I address you then?]

*Freya or even Onee-san if you want hahaha!!!*

[Onee-san? I don't understand that word.]

*Oh that! Well, it's a word that comes from my mother tongue meaning "big sister".*

I had inadvertently slipped this term in as a joke, because our relationship reminded me a bit of a big sister with her little sister. I didn't think she would take the joke literally. But maybe the joke was a reflection of a deep desire in my heart.

[So uh...onee...onee-san what do we do?]

I didn't know it, but upon hearing the word "big sister", Kira had felt overwhelmed with joy, therefore her shy and hesitant voice was absolutely adorable. As I caught myself thinking this, an idea popped into my head.

*How about we finally start torturing that scorpion to celebrate? We can get into all this new stuff in more detail later! It's been there a while and if I hadn't stopped the bleeding while talking, it would have died*.

[ Water Scorpius Warg - HP : 7 614 / 20 000 ]

[Umm! Now that I can also control the ice and chaos around us, I think I can contribute for the first time today!]

So, without even having to speak the "I" had naturally turned into "we".

Motionless, I could see 2 ice peaks similar to the ones I used to make, forming above Warg's unconscious body.

[Onee-san! Look I did it! I can use the elements even from the inside!]

*It's perfect, now use one and aim for his eyes.*

[Good!]

A spike then rose up and went into one of the scorpius' eye sockets.

[ Water Scorpius Warg - HP : 4 321 / 20 000 ]

[Like this?]

*Hahaha yes great, the eye even came out with it!*

Smiling ever so slightly, I couldn't help but think that I really did look like a big sister (despite the atrocity of the activity). I had never acted like this, I was discovering these new feelings that were flowing in my mind and heart at the same time as her. At that moment my whole being was screaming: "protect her". I knew she probably wouldn't be the only one I would have to protect, but she was the first one I had opened my heart to.

"Aaaarrgggg wha...?"

Warg had finally woken up from his slumber.

*Yo sleeping beauty!*

[Onee-san he can't hear you, and then what is sleeping beauty?]

Kira was much more familiar than before, it was comforting. Having remembered what I had said to Gaya earlier, she must have wanted to keep some distance from me so as not to annoy me. Giggling at her question I wasn't sure how to explain.

*Oh nothing a children's story from my old life. Yosh! Now try to summon 5 infernal spikes and leave them above his head.*

[All right!]

*Rule number one, never disrespect me*

While Kira was practicing, I crushed one of my paws on the scorpion's throat. It was terrified and bleeding from the eye that had been removed. Unable to speak because of the pressure I was putting on his neck, he looked at me with watery eyes. Still in dead silence, I began to gently crush his throat with the power of my body, taking care not to kill him.

*Rule number two, never talk to me in this tone*

[ Water Scorpius Warg - HP : 4 000 / 20 000]

Looking at him with cold, cruel eyes, I ordered Kira to send a spike into his lower back to prevent him from moving too much.

[ Water Scorpius Warg - HP: 3,265 / 20,000]

*Rule number three, never underestimate my cruelty and even less me*

Warg struggled unable to scream or move, his eyes pleading with terror, pain and despair.

*Oh yes that's it!!! Show me the despair one feels before dying at the hands of the one you called dog a moments ago!!!*

Using the power of my jaw, I tore off the shell plates he had all over his body. For scorpions they were the equivalent of skin, the flesh was spurting out everywhere making the lake red with blood. He screamed silently, making me want to break him even more.

[ Water Scorpius Warg - HP : 1 000 / 20 000]

*Rule number four, never touch or hurt me*

Finally, Kira threw all the infernal ice spikes crashing into his skinned body causing his insides to burst.

*Last and fifth rule, never break the first four*.

[Um..onee-san, he can't hear you anymore.]

-- PING --

[ Congratulations! Host killed a higher level monster +300 XP ]

[ Your HP and MP have increased ]

[You now have 300 attribute points ]

*Wow, 300 attribute points!*

[Indeed it's huge, that's the advantage of having a system].

Looking at my status I could see that it had already changed a lot since I arrived. Warg the Southern Scorpion was gone, only the rock sphinx and the lightning lion were left.

[Onee-san, you are injured, rest a little in the forest. If you add your attribute points I think you can heal automatically when you change].

*You're right, I'll do that. I didn't pay attention because I was too busy enjoying the moment, but I really hurt all over. It hurts like hell*.

[I'm sorry I can't help you, I've never had a body so these sensations are unknown to me].

Now that Kira had become a full-fledged soul, I could feel a touch of disappointment in her voice.

*Kira...I promise to find a way for you to have a body one day.*

I hadn't even thought about it and my words were out of my mind. I didn't know if it could be possible, but I was willing to try anything for my new little sister.

[Onee-san....]

For the first time I could hear that soft, monotone voice had changed. It was warm and full of life.
