Chapter 345: The three strongest women.
Dante stood with his arms crossed, watching the rather peculiar scene unfold.
"You've truly become a little whore now, Hahaha!" Valentina laughed as she taunted Lyrianna, who had her arms crossed and her eyes closed, trying to ignore her.
But it was difficult... Lyrianna was on the verge of exploding, her patience stretched to its limit.
"It wasn't my choice to become a succubus," Lyrianna said, even though, well, it had been Sara's choice to save her mother...
"Still, Hahaha! You've turned into an excited slut! Hahaha," Valentina continued, laughing uncontrollably as she clutched her belly, looking like a lunatic.
All the Scarlet Valkyries watched her, unsure how to react.
"Yes, an excited slut for your husband," Lyrianna said, opening her eyes and letting out a mischievous smile that completely shattered Valentina's.
Her eyes narrowed as her playful expression morphed into a mix of anger and shock. She straightened up, crossed her arms, and stared at Lyrianna with an intensity that made the air around them seem to vibrate with tension.
"What did you just say?" Valentina asked, her voice low and deadly, her pupils darkening, almost feral.
Lyrianna maintained her playful smile, her eyes sparkling with wicked delight. "You heard me, bitch. If I'm an 'excited slut,' it's because of your husband that I'm excited. After all, he's the one who saved my life, isn't he?"
The words fell like a hammer, and the impact was immediate. The Scarlet Valkyries around them watched in complete silence, trying to avoid the storm they knew was about to erupt, some even taking a step back...
Valentina clenched her fists, rage bubbling rapidly in her chest, but before she could respond, Dante, who had been watching with a neutral expression, finally intervened. He sighed, a faint hint of a smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"You two need to stop this little squabble." Dante said, his voice firm but laced with calculated indifference. "This is getting boring."
Valentina turned to Dante, her eyes blazing with anger. "Are you going to let her talk like that?!"
Dante merely raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "You both are acting like children. Honestly, I don't care about the provocations. But… if you're going to fight, at least do it right."
Valentina opened her mouth to protest, but was interrupted when Lyrianna stepped forward, her posture relaxed and confident. "What's the matter, Valentina? You think you can't handle a succubus like me around him?" she teased, her smile widening.
For a brief moment, Valentina was left speechless, her mind swirling with anger and wounded pride. She knew Lyrianna was toying with her, poking at her insecurities and trying to destabilize her. But there was a part of Valentina that, even knowing this, couldn't control the urge to respond to the provocation.
"I could crush you like a bug, Lyrianna," Valentina snarled, her voice full of threat.
"Maybe," Lyrianna replied calmly, "but what if I wanted you to? What if I wanted to see how far you'd go to defend your territory? Your man?"
The final provocation was enough to make Valentina move. She lunged forward, her aura exploding in intense and violent energy, ready to strike. But before she could get close, Siren intervened, moving with almost supernatural speed. In the blink of an eye, she was between the two women, one hand holding Valentina by the shoulders and the other gently pushing Lyrianna back.
"You're not at home. Behave, bitches," Siren said, stopping them immediately, and Dante watched with a smile at the confrontation before him.
'Fufufu... this is going to be interesting... The Three Strongest Women in a battle…' He chuckled like a sly demon, maintaining his posture.
"Don't get in my way," Valentina said, gripping Siren's wrist as she tried to restrain her, and with a swift movement, she tossed Siren into the air.
Siren spun in the air, gliding like a feather before landing on her feet, maintaining a warrior's stance, completely unfazed. "You can see me as an obstacle, but I'm just trying to prevent a disaster, Valentina," she said, her tone serious and determined.
Valentina was not willing to listen. "If you're not going to help me, then get out of my way!" The energy around her pulsed, each breath becoming more intense than the last. She was determined to settle the score between her and Lyrianna, and nothing could stop her.
Lyrianna, observing the scene, smiled mischievously. "Ah, so we're really doing this, aren't we?" she said, her voice smooth like a whisper in the wind. "Let's see how far you'll actually go, Valentina."
Dante watched the entire spectacle with a satisfied smile, excited at the prospect of a genuine showdown. "So, let's go! Let's see who's the strongest." He clapped his hands animatedly, clearly ready to enjoy the show.
Valentina shot a defiant glare at Lyrianna, who now hovered in the air, her black wings spread wide, gleaming under the light. "You won't get away with this. I'm going to teach you to respect your place," Valentina shouted, accumulating energy in her hands, an intense glow enveloping her palms.
Lyrianna didn't hesitate. With a swift movement, she dove toward Valentina, her body flowing with grace and agility. "Go ahead then!" the succubus replied, her claws glinting like sharp blades.
Valentina charged forward, her power exploding in a frontal assault. She hurled a flame of scarlet energy toward Lyrianna, who nimbly dodged, letting the attack pass and smash into one of the dead, dry tree trunks behind her, shattering it under the force of the explosion.
"You need to be quicker than that!" Lyrianna teased, challenging Valentina as she executed a rapid maneuver in the air, spinning around the Valkyrie.
Valentina roared in frustration and focused her energy, ready for a second strike. "Enough of the games!" she shouted, raising her arms and summoning a tornado of fire, a powerful storm swirling around her.
Lyrianna watched with a confident smile. "You think you can catch me with that?" And with a smooth movement, she launched forward, slicing through the storm with her sharp claws as she approached Valentina with the speed of lightning.
Valentina was not about to give up. She jumped to the side, narrowly dodging Lyrianna, and quickly launched a more focused energy attack, the energy concentrating into a single point and firing toward the succubus.
'Is she trying not to hurt Lyrianna? What a strange woman…' Dante thought. 'No… she's underestimating Lyrianna, equating her power to hers… how odd to do that right now…'
Siren, realizing the situation was escalating, decided to intervene once more. She moved in quickly, her own mystical abilities activating, and with a swift gesture, conjured a magical barrier between the two fighters.
The barrier absorbed Valentina's attack, dissipating the energy before it could reach Lyrianna. "I warned you," Siren said, her voice firm. "You can't let yourselves be caught up in a pointless fight."
"Shut up!" both women shouted in unison. "If you want to stop us... come at us, BITCH!"
A massive vein pulsed on Siren's forehead. She was irritated. Her body began to emanate a unique green natural energy...
The dried leaves of the surrounding trees began to glow and come alive, and the winds grew stronger, dancing around her. "If this is how you want it, then get ready!" she roared, her voice echoing like thunder.
With a decisive movement, Siren broke the barrier, her green aura erupting like a hurricane. "You want to face me? Then feel the power of nature!" She extended her hands, summoning giant roots that burst from the dry ground, aiming at both women.
Valentina and Lyrianna, in an almost telepathic act of synchronization, dodged the roots, which intertwined in an impressive display of natural power. "Do you really think you can stop us like this?" Valentina challenged, her aura beginning to glow a fiery red, a reflection of the fury boiling within her.
"I'm starting to get bored with this!" Lyrianna taunted, her sharp claws reflecting the blue light around her. With a leap, she flew toward Siren, slicing through the air with a speed that defied the laws of physics. She lunged, her ice claws poised to strike Siren, but Valentina quickly launched a fire attack in an arc, trying to take down the succubus.
Siren saw the wall of fire coming toward her and swiftly leaned to the side, using her mystical abilities to create a shield of leaves and branches to protect herself. The explosion from Valentina's attack spread, sending leaves flying in all directions, some igniting in flames.
"Just a bit more control!" Siren shouted, trying to regain her focus. But Valentina was furious, her power growing, fueled by adrenaline and her determination to prove she was the strongest.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with!" Valentina yelled, her energy becoming almost uncontrollable. She surged forward, concentrating all her strength into a powerful punch aimed at Lyrianna. The succubus, sensing the attack, dodged and countered with a precise strike, hitting Valentina in the ribs.
The impact was devastating. Valentina gasped but didn't fall. Instead, she lunged back at Lyrianna with a grunt, her fury intensifying. "You're going to pay for that!" she retorted, using the pain to channel even more energy into her next attack.
Siren, realizing that the fight was spiraling out of control, shouted, "I told you to stop! This isn't how you resolve things!" But her words were drowned out by Valentina's roar, who was now completely focused on defeating Lyrianna.
"Hey... Is there any corn around here?" Dante asked Nafiri, who was sitting beside him. Meanwhile, he summoned a Throne of Negative Energy, with Misty perched in his lap, stroking her hair.
"Yeah... Why?" Nafiri replied, glancing at him.
"Could you bring some? I'd love to make popcorn; it's going to be quite the show..." he said with a grin as he put on some sunglasses.
"S-sure..."
