Chapter 225 Aurielle Vs Amazonian Queen Sorya (1)
Aurielle laughed, her violet flux swirling like a tempest around her. "Now, that's what I like to hear!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She snapped her fingers, releasing the vines binding the warriors.
The porcelain doll shimmered, returning to its human form—a dazed warrior who quickly scrambled to rejoin her sisters.
"Let's see what you've got, Your Majesty," Aurielle said, readying herself, her tone brimming with anticipation.
The queen raised her hand, and the jungle answered. Trees bent, their roots erupting from the earth, creating barriers and weapons in an instant.
A gust of flux-charged wind swept through the clearing, scattering Aurielle's playful constructs and sending a message: this was no ordinary opponent.
Aurielle's grin widened, her heart pounding with exhilaration. "Oh, this is going to be fun."
The ground rumbled as the Amazonian Queen's primal flux surged through the jungle. The earth itself seemed alive, bending and twisting to her will. Massive roots shot upward, coiling like serpents, while razor-sharp leaves sliced through the air with deadly precision.
The queen advanced, her emerald-green eyes locked on Aurielle, a predator's focus in her gaze, her healthy wheat-brown skin glistening faintly under the shimmering glow of her flux.
Aurielle dodged nimbly, her laughter ringing out as she twisted through the queen's assault. "Oh, very nice! A little nature magic goes a long way," she quipped, her tone dripping with amusement.
She snapped her fingers, and glowing constructs burst into existence around her—a herd of violet flux-infused deer, their antlers glowing with energy.
"Gift Creation: Antler Rush," she declared with glee, sending the spectral creatures charging toward the queen.
The queen raised her hand, and a towering wall of roots erupted from the ground, blocking the charge.
The antlered constructs collided with the barrier in a dazzling explosion of flux, but the queen remained unmoved. Her commanding presence never wavered as she stepped forward, the ground trembling beneath her feet.
"You'll have to try harder than that, woman," the queen said, her voice steady yet cutting, laden with disdain.
Aurielle raised an eyebrow, twirling a lock of hair as she grinned. "Woman? Rude. The name's Aurielle, sweetheart. It's not hard to remember." Her eyes sparkled mischievously. "And here I thought queens were supposed to have manners."
The queen's emerald flux flared in response, and spears of hardened wood shot from the ground, aiming to impale Aurielle.
With a delighted laugh, Aurielle leaped gracefully, flipping mid-air as she conjured a shimmering violet platform beneath her feet. "Gift Creation: Springboard!" she announced, launching herself higher into the canopy to avoid the onslaught.
As she landed atop a sturdy branch, the queen's piercing green eyes tracked her every move. "I am Queen Sorya, ruler of this continent," she declared, her voice cutting through the chaos like a blade. "And you, Aurielle, will kneel before me—or fall."
Aurielle's laughter bubbled up irreverently, her joy unshaken by the queen's overwhelming presence. "Sorya, is it? Love the name, by the way. But kneel? Sorry, I've got a bad back. Not really an option."
Sorya's eyes narrowed, her flux rippling outward in a wave that shattered the branch beneath Aurielle.
As the intruder plummeted toward the jungle floor, she snapped her fingers, creating a glowing net that caught her mid-descent. "Gift Creation: Safety First!" Aurielle announced with mock seriousness.
Swinging herself out of the net and landing lightly on her feet, Aurielle tossed a playful wink.
"Sorya, darling, I think you're holding back," she teased, swirling her violet flux into an ornate flux-crafted parasol. "Why don't you show me what you're really made of?"
Sorya's expression hardened as she summoned a massive construct of intertwining roots and stone, its shape forming a colossal jaguar with glowing emerald eyes. The construct leaped toward Aurielle with terrifying speed, its roar shaking the clearing.
Aurielle barely sidestepped the attack, twirling her parasol as if unfazed. "Oh, that's gorgeous! Did you make it yourself?"
With a flick of her wrist, the parasol transformed into a glowing whip. "Gift Creation: Vine Snap!"
The whip lashed out, wrapping around the jaguar construct and yanking it aside with a dramatic flourish.
The jaguar construct disintegrated into raw flux, but Sorya was already closing the distance. Her emerald-green armor gleamed as she struck with primal precision, her flux-coated gauntlets creating shockwaves with every blow.
Aurielle dodged each strike with practiced ease, her playful grin only growing wider.
"You're good, Sorya," Aurielle said, her tone almost admiring. "But you've never fought someone like me, have you?"
Sorya's eyes blazed with determination, her voice cutting like steel. "You mistake your antics for power. Arrogance will be your downfall."
Aurielle's violet flux surged as she conjured a spinning disk beneath her feet, launching herself backward to create distance. "Arrogance? I call it confidence. And honey, I've got it in spades. But I'll tell you what, Sorya—you're making me work for it, and I respect that."
The jungle around them seemed to tremble as the battle escalated, Sorya's controlled ferocity clashing with Aurielle's unpredictable creativity.
The warriors watched in awe and confusion, torn between their queen's commanding presence and the sheer audacity of the mischievous intruder.
Aurielle spun her whip with a flourish, her violet flux glowing brighter. "Alright, Sorya. Time to step it up a notch. Let's see who's really queen of the jungle!"
Sorya's emerald-green eyes glowed with raw intensity as her flux surged, the jungle itself responding to her call. Massive trees bent and twisted, their roots erupting from the earth in violent waves, forming a lattice of barriers and weapons.
The air crackled with energy as razor-sharp leaves and thorned vines danced around her, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
"You are no queen," Sorya declared, her voice resonating with unshakable authority. "You're an invader—a jester who thinks chaos is strength."
Aurielle's grin widened, her violet flux swirling around her like a tempest. "A jester? Oh, darling, I prefer 'artist.' Watch and learn."
With a snap of her fingers, Aurielle unleashed a barrage of glowing butterflies made of flux. They fluttered harmlessly at first, their luminous wings scattering sparks, before suddenly exploding into bursts of dazzling light.
The battlefield was momentarily engulfed in a kaleidoscope of blinding brilliance, forcing Sorya to shield her eyes.
