Chapter 4

When she threw her attack,Boa was sure of the fact that she had won.After all,he may be strong but he can't be stronger than the empress.She was startled when she saw him summon those elemental attacks,people with more than 4 affinities like her were almost non-existent,even in the god realm.But she saw her attack deal with them and was not worried anymore.

However when she saw him create that......thing she couldn't believe it,even just an arm and the ribcage it could probably,no,certainly cut a planet.It was incredible,it was awe-inspiring,it was so majestic and most of all,it was what she wanted.

Amazonia,the planetary system they were in was a haven for women.Men were not allowed,but it doesn't mean that relationships with them were prohibited,just that if an amazon,an inhabitant of Amazonia,wanted to marry she had to leave.It was even protected by an array that killed anyone with bad intentions toward the amazons,it could kill anyone in the god realm.

Since it was founded,eons ago,and until today Amazonia was ruled by the Long family,with the current leader being Boa.However if the empress that rules at the time left with a man,there would be no ruler.

So there was a rule made for the emperial family : when an empress falls in love with a man she can leave the empire,the oldest amazon will then assume the role of the ruler.However when the empress that has left,has a daughter she must give it to the empire to be raised as the futur empress.

This was so ingrained in the Long family that they could only each have one child and always a daughter,also it became an instinct for the descendants,once they found the man that was perfect for them they would know,they would test him with the array and if he passed be totally devoted to him.As such there was never a case of a broken heart for an empress.Until the previous one.

Boa's mother followed the rules,was a good empress and a gentle one,the man she fell in love with however was not a good one.When they had their daughter he wanted to sell her to the dragon god Shen Ron in exchange for a sovereign soul.The only way he passed the test was because he had no bad intentions for the amazons but for his daughter.

When she discovered this,Boa's mother,heart-broken,killed her husband and fled back to Amazonia.When she got there she only lived for a few more years and then died from her heartbreak.When she learned the story Boa didn't start hating men because she knew that not everyone was the same,but she became terrified of having her heart broken.

When came the time for her ceremony,a ritual in which the descendant of the Long family that was becoming an adult would dive in her soul to discover what her destined one would be like,she set incredibly high standards.

Her husband would have to be much more powerful than her,at least as good looking as her,love a good fight as much as her,good to his friends and family and finally ready to do anything to protect and take care of what is his.Once she dicovered that,she trained hard to be the strongest to the point that she was on of the 5 strongest gods in the realm.Like that she minimized the chances of finding the right man.

But today,was the day she feared.He was almost perfect,so powerful,so attractive and like her he was enjoying the fight.Also since he was in the array and still alive that meant that he had no bad intentions toward her people.She couldn't test the other 2 conditions but she already knew that it was him,the man she was supposed to love.

She hated that.She had to kill him before it was to late and she fell in love.Before he gets the chance to break her heart like her mother.

As Nox brought his sword down,Boa used the bladed part of her bow to block.Then she tried to cut his hand but he twisted around and thrusted the sword to her heart,she parried and flew back instantly.

She pulled the string of the bow and released it,unleashing at the same time another volley of arrows.

To which Nox responded by flying straight at her and blocking everything on his way.When he got to her he swung his sword once more.She would have blocked but the moment murcielago was about to touch her bow,Nox used his eyes to phase through and cut at her directly.

Boa was surprised however she managed at the last second to create a layer of ice on the point of impact.She was however not unscathed since she was sent flying a few hundred kilometers away and had a moderatly deep cut on her abdomen.

Nox didn't wait for her to stabilize and sent a barrage of ballas,small ball of energy,after her.« I normally don't get this excited when fighting.I think taking madara as the basis for my body may have influenced me.Well I'll make sure it's just that. »

When Boa stopped flying away she saw the balas heading for her.She clapped her hand and a wave of lightning emerged from her,once it crashed into Nox's attack,they both cancelled each other.

They both stared at each other,not realizing they were both grinning.Then they both dissapeared and met in the middle.Nox swung and she blocked,then Boa swung and he blocked.Thanks to kamui,ie phasing,Nox managed to infilct more damage to her but they were all minor wounds as after the first time she managed to react almost perfectly to the kamui.

Because of their speed they appeared and dissapeared from view and everytime they clashed they created shockwaves.They would sometime appear a distance away from each other,Nox would use bala and she would use different elemental attacks.

The clash between Nox and Boa caused a lot of panic in the people of Amazonia,in fact in the air above every planet we could see millions of women flying and observing the battle with batted breath.

Above on of the worlds were 2 persons in particular,one was a young woman with short blonde hair and the other one was an old lady with long grey hair.These two were Xiao Shu the chief servant of the empress and the other one was lady Baba the oldest amazon.

« Lady Baba,we sould go help her highness! »Xiao cried,she was panicking seeing her empress hurt.

« You idiot!Don't you see that all you'll do is be a burden to her.This isn't a battle in which we can participate,this is a battle between kings of gods.Pass the message to all the amazons,do not try to interfer! »

« But! »« There's no but! »Lady Baba cut any argument.When the lady gives an order all but the empress has to follow.

« ......Yes,my lady »After hesitating Xiao accepted the order and relayed the message.Their empress was on her own.

Lady Baba smiled« And besides look at her face. »When she looked Xiao could see a big smile on the empress' face and she was also flushing.

« It looks like she will be leaving soon,that little girl. »

Back at the fight Nox and Boa were still dancing around dissappearing and reappearing all over the system.

They both reappeared at the same time,a few kilometers between them.Nox pointed his finger at her and a little ball of green energy gathered on the tip,a cero.

When Boa realised this her eyes got wide,exculding the blue entitie from earlier this was his strongest move until now.She used her hands to form a circle in front of her,lightning was travelling on her arms and gathering in a ball in the circle.

After a second they both unleashed their attacks.

« CERO » « LIGHTNING RAGE »

When the two lasers met in the middle a giant explosion happened but they didn't vanish.They started pushing each other like a deadly tug of war.They were however both at a stalemate.They then started adding more power to the attacks until the lasers tripled in size.

Boa had her eyes narrowed in concentration,she was almsot out of qi,she knew she lost,both to Nox and her feelings.She stopped looking at the attacks to look at him.He had his sword in his right hand and his left was the origin of his move,he didn't have a scratch,at most a few tears on his cothes for the rare occasions that she managed to suprise him.

She,however,was a mess.She was bloody,her hair was in shambles,she even had to change he qipao into another one and even though it was subtle she saw that he slowed down for her to change earlier which made her feel even more for him.

It was too late now,she was certain that she was leaving with him.She couldn't say that she was in love with him yet but she was deeply infatuated with him.And if her instincts were right and they were,women of the Long family were always right about their love,it wouldn't take much or a lot of time for it to become love.This was how it worked for the empresses,now that she found him,they were destined.She was a little scared but mainly extremely happy.She smiled from such happiness.

Nox on the other side of the lase stalemate,looked at the beautiful woman that was now smiling and his heart skipped a beat.« She's so pretty already but when she smiles it's just........wow. »

« You should smile more often,it makes you look even more gorgeous. »He had to shout for her to hear.

« He's making it even easier to fall. »She giggled« I won't let you win even if you compliment me,you know. »She shouted back.« How about we end it? »

He chuckled« Yes let's finish this.This has been the most fun I've had in.....ever!We go all out,if I win you pardon me for earlier and I'll even do one thing for you.But if you win,you do what you want with me. »

To be honest she had forgotten the incident from earlier.But she didn't really mind now.« It's normal for my husband to see me naked after all. »She blushed while thinking that.« It's a deal! »

She then poured everything she had left into her lightning rage.It looked like she was winning now,as she was pushing his attack back but when she saw him smirk she was sure it was over for her.Though she still smiled.

As for Nox he dismissed his sword and brought his right hand to his mouth.He bit his thumb until a drop of blood appeared,the hurt digit healed instantly after that.He threw the drop in his cero and shouted.

« GRAN REY CERO »

And that was the last thing Boa heard before she blacked out.
