Foolish to believe you can beat me

The talk events with the nation continued for another 3 days before it finally ended. I talked with the last person who wanted to talk to me then wrapped it up. I walked out the room and heard Saya yell and try to attack me. I blocked her attack and put her in a headlock and pinched her nose.

"Why my nooose?!" Saya whined.

"I told you to not do it Saya.." Miyuna said.

"You never learn do you..?" I released her and pushed her forward.

"I...didn't know her reflexed...were GODLY!" Saya said and caught her breath.

"I know you ain't that foolish." I said.

"Mama! I have a request!" Kotome walked up.

"What is it?" I looked at Kotome.

"Please spar with me!" She bowed. "I wish to get stronger! I want to help you invade Uphelia!"

I looked at her and rubbed the back of my head. I was absolutely too strong for her and even if I hold back by a lot, I still would have a slim chance of killing her..

"Please..I will handle any pain you bestow upon me during this training!" Kotome said.

"That makes you sound like a masochist.." I said.

Kotome looked at me with pleading eyes. I looked at her nervously then sighed.

"Fine. Meet me at the training arena." I let myself relent to her.

"Thank you!" She happily jumped and ran off.

"Your Highness.." Victoria said.

"I know..I'll try my hardest to use zero percent of my power.." I said.

After a few minutes of getting ready, I headed towards the training arena. There were knights sitting on the bleachers and Kotome preparing herself for the battle.

"You might wanna at least try in this battle.." Gazia said leaning against the wall. "I made some enhancements to her Lunar Arms as she requested. Her new Lunar Arms is called Twin Moons. There's the Light Side and the Dark Side. They have a passive ability that boosts her defense and speed by approximately 60%. The Light Side gives her the power of Light, which boosts her Dark Resistance and her overall stamina and recovery. The Dark Side is where the Lunar Arms begins to shine..it boosts her Attack, Defense, and Speed by another 50% in total she has 110% Defense and Speed while having 50% boost in attack."

"Huh, she is that determined to help me invade Uphelia." I looked at him.

"How are your Lunar Arms?" He looked at the battlefield.

"They should be functioning normally. I will inform you if anything goes wrong." I walked down the stairs.

Saya and Miyuna happily found their seat and were followed by Victoria and Kielazar. Only Victoria has seen me fight and studied my fighting style. I haven't really fought since the day my mother died.

"Alright Queen Stella! Please do not hold back!" She got in a stance.

"A change of weapon also?" I asked.

"Mhm! I went from Greatsword to a smaller blade. It's not a katana, but it's a very good sword." Kotome smiled.

"Well I would love to see your improvements." I summoned my sword.

"Why does Miss Stella look so sexy when she's in her battle clothes..?" Saya said. Miyuna thumped her on her head. "Ow! What's was that for?!"

"You are one weird girl.." Miyuna sighed.

I took a step forward and Kotome, a step back. I smirked and went for a little poke with my sword, taunting her. She jumped back each time.

"Is this how she battles?" Kielazar asked.

"No, she's just teasing right now." Victoria said.

"Even on the battlefield...she's still a witch.." Kielazar said.

"For once I agree." Victoria nodded.

I stomped my foot down and dashed to her. Kotome was surprised and blocked my slash then got blown against the wall. The knights cheered as the battle started. Kotome slid down and coughed. I looked at her and rested the blade against my shoulder.

"Come on...is that all you got?" I asked.

"My defense...did nothing..?" Kotome said to herself. "Her attack is stronger than my defense..? No I have 110% Defense..I broke the parameter..how did she break through my defense..?"

"If you didn't know, my ability is Omnipotent Darkness. I gain a boost of attack by 100%, and another ability...Ignore Parameters." I said.

Kotome looked shocked. She stood up and looked at me.

"Although you are faster than me, because of Ignore Parameters, your defense means nothing to me. It all comes down to who can deal the final blow first. Oh should I say my Lunar Arms carry abilities also? Vesper Argentum gives me a boost of attack by another 70% and gives me immunity to Light Attacks." I continued.

"A boost of 170%..?!" Kielazar said.

"That is only with Vesper Argentum equipped. She has three other equippable Lunar Arms. The Unholy Gauntlets, The Astra Anklets, and her boots, Eternal Speed." Victoria said.

"That's so much..!" Saya said.

"No wonder the kingdoms want to marry her..imagine what they could do with such power.." Miyuna said.

Kotome didn't want to quit now. She dashed to me and slashed. Blocked the slash and my eyes glowed then I appeared above her and kicked down. We both crashed to the ground. The knights cheered loudly.

"Kotome you got this!" Zekuu cheered.

I got up and jumped back and looked at her. Kotome wiped the smoke from her face and coughed. She stood up and the smoke cleared. She dashed to me once again. She let out a battle cry. She slashed, but I parried. She landed on her feet and dashed behind me and slashed. I ducked and elbowed her stomach. She groaned and I grabbed her arm then flipped her over my back. I gracefully flipped over her and put her in an arm lock.

"Oh yeah she's down for the count.." A knight said.

I looked at her and got off her. She panted and took a second to get back up. I picked my sword up then waited for her. She stood up and grabbed her sword and her dark aura came from her body. Her Lunar Arms were now on the Dark Side. She opened her eyes and they glowed a dark blue.

"Astral Blade: Eclipse Force!" Kotome dashed to me and slashed three times.

I parried them all and she looked shocked. I palmed her arm away and kicked her leg then flicked her forehead. Kotome grunted and held her forehead.

"You're foolish to think you can beat me." I said and twirled then palmed her stomach. The force of the palm made her crash into the wall, causing a large force of wind.

The entire arena was shocked by the force I just released. Kotome's aura vanished and she slid down and fell to her side. I stood up straight and my sword vanished. I heard a clap from the top of the stairs.

"Well Well..my sexy and toxic Queen..three years ago, you couldn't even control your power..now you're just a Goddess." A woman said and walked down the stairs.

Everyone looked back and saw the woman walking towards me. They got their weapons ready.

"Stand down." I said. "It's about time you made it Adriesta."

"W-Wait! THAT Adriesta?!" Saya stood up.

"The Scourge Mistress and Gabriela's childhood friend.." Miyuna said.

"From here on our, Adriesta is an ally of Lunia and your new commander!" I said.

The knights stood up and did their salutes toward Adriesta. Victoria or Kielazar didn't stand up since Adriesta didn't have permission to command them.

"Adriesta..she's another traitor of Uphelia." Victoria said.

"Mhm..she worked in Maanga for a while also, she is the one who defeated the next few waves of Holy Order members. Alone.." Kielazar said. "I'm glad she's still on our side.."
