The mysterious figure was sitting atop the winged horse as it moved at an astonishing speed, making its way through the sky and getting farther away from the battlefield.
The six-winged horse was flying at its maximum speed, carrying the mysterious figure away from danger.
But suddenly...
An idea entered her mind.
She was thinking about only one thing.
How would she meet Odin?
And what would she say to him when she saw him?
She did not know how she would explain to him what had happened, nor how she would face him after everything she had done.
But...
Before she could continue thinking any further, she sensed danger.
She quickly looked behind her.
At that very moment...
She saw the Emperor of Humanity chasing her.
He was flying behind her at tremendous speed, and he had no intention of allowing her to escape.
Suddenly...
He opened his hand and pointed it toward her.
Huge fire projectiles were launched from him.
The fire projectiles were enormous, with some reaching the size of ships, and they were launched toward the winged horse and the mysterious figure at a terrifying speed.
But the winged horse did not panic.
Instead, it moved calmly and dodged the fiery attacks one after another.
The flames passed by them, while the horse continued flying calmly through the sky, as if it did not feel the danger.
But the mysterious figure did not feel at ease.
Instead, she frowned deeply.
She said to herself:
"How?"
Then she added worriedly:
"How will I escape from here?"
She looked back again.
Then she said:
"We cannot keep running forever... He will catch up with us."
The Emperor was getting closer little by little.
And if the situation continued like this, the horse would not be able to maintain the distance between them forever.
But...
Before she could think of a solution...
She sensed a strange aura coming from ahead.
Her facial expression changed.
She quickly looked ahead.
And there...
She saw another winged horse.
But it had only two wings, unlike the horse she was riding, which had six wings.
And there was a figure sitting on the back of that horse.
She was wearing black clothes that completely concealed her body, closely resembling hers.
She was also carrying a golden sword.
The mysterious figure's eyes widened.
She felt a very familiar aura coming from that figure.
An aura she knew very well.
So she ordered her horse to stop.
The horse actually stopped.
It had also sensed the familiar aura coming from the figure in front of them.
Meanwhile...
The other figure was looking at her calmly.
Then she said:
"Hmm... You have grown, little one."
Then she calmly looked behind the mysterious figure.
She could see the Emperor of Humanity approaching them quickly.
She looked at him for a few moments.
Then she said:
"Go away from here."
She paused for a moment.
Then she continued:
"I will take care of this."
Then she added in a calm tone:
"But in this way... the hostility between us disappears, okay."
The mysterious figure riding Odin's horse looked at the other figure.
She was thinking about her words.
Then she remained silent for some time.
Finally...
She nodded.
Then she ordered her horse to leave.
She said before leaving:
"Kill the Emperor of Humanity."
Then she added:
"And I will forget the grudge between us."
As soon as she said that...
She ordered Odin's horse to rise high into the sky.
The horse began to ascend quickly. She did not want to move far away from the place.
The mysterious figure wanted to see the death of the Emperor of Humanity herself.
At the same time...
She wanted to help the other figure if she needed assistance in killing him.
She continued looking down as she rose into the sky.
As for the other figure...
She remained in her place.
She watched Odin's horse flying upward, then sighed.
She continued looking at it for a few moments.
Then she said to herself:
"She is really stubborn..."
She paused for a moment.
Then she added:
"She hasn't learned anything from Odin."
She remained standing in the sky, holding her golden sword, while the Emperor of Humanity approached her quickly.
As for the mysterious figure...
She had become directly above her, calmly watching the area from the sky.
And she knew that the next battle would be completely different.
Because this time...
She would not be alone in facing the Emperor.
