What's next?

Impromptu sparring match?

You sigh, well since you're most likely about to get the ass whooping of a century, you might as well go down like a man. Though you aren't the most proficient in hand-to-hand combat you got to have some skill if you want to lead an army. You take your fighting stance, one at which she scoffs before hopping from side to side slowly inching her way towards you. Her fists begin to glow an ominous red as she does.

You decide that the best defense is offense and throw a strike first, a straight jab which she easily parries, hitting you with a jab of her own.

It hurts, a lot. The searing pain her glowing fist leaves on your cheek however feels familiar, you begin to feel your heartbeat faster and just like a switch was turned on you suddenly feel faster, stronger, and as if you could run an infinite amount of laps around the castle. You kip-up facing the goddess again.

"Someone smart would have just stayed down, but that wouldn't have been nearly as fun now would it?"

She steps back up to you, assaulting you with a continuous flurry of punches. The mysterious boost in physical strength seems to also have heightened your senses however as you manage to dodge most of them, however as she picks up the pace, you begin to take more and more hits. You begin to feel confident however and begin throwing a few punches back. Who would've thought? Here you are duking it out with a goddess. You see everything she does in what you can only assume is superhuman speed at a regular speed. The shock she gets from seeing you keep up so effortlessly causes a slip in concentration and she throws a weak punch you can easily parry. This is your chance! You hit her with a hook of your own square in the jaw. This is it, she's definitely going to be knocked out cold after that. Your stomach sinks once more as you realize that she's looking at you dead in the eyes. Your punch hasn't moved her an inch.

"My turn." She smiles before taking your arm, and while putting a leg in front of yours, vaults you over her back and hard into the ground. Causing you to wince in pain as the rock caves under the weight of the strike creating a perfect rock angel of your figure. She doesn't give you time to rest however as she picks you up by the collar.

"Now listen, since I'm only going to say this once." she huffs, out of breath. "Open that portal and take me back so I can give Leom the exact same whooping I just gave you."

"I-I don't think that's gonna be possible." you say, your whole body aching.
