Chapter 71 - Treating The Snake Queen (2/2)

”Is Queen Nakee okay? She seems to have passed out, I hope her injure isn't too grave.” The white serpentine was extremely worried about something happening to the Snake Queen. Their Snake clan could not endure the great loss of another leader.

Versailles saw the worry and fear in the elders' eyes and knew what they were thinking. If anything happened to the Snake Queen, the clan would fall into chaos.

Sighing, she laid the queen on her lap.

She knew the Snake Queen had reached her limit. Any more would only break her. Placing her hand on her head, she hoped the clashes were enough to thin the fog covering her mind. Only then, would her healing power have an effect.

She closed her eyes, concentrating on the warm current of fire running through her veins. The fire coursed through her meridians, gathering at her palms before its red-gold radiant glow lightened the dull atmosphere.

Versailles focused the pure fire energy on her friend, feeling it rush into her mind and gather at her sea of consciousness. It swirled and wandered around, circling the entire sea before stopping in front of a black mass.

The mass was similar in appearance to the black mass that covered Versailles' soul in her lost life. Its vile and sinister aura sent chills over her body.

”No, I need to concentrate. I cannot be daunted by a few specks of dark fog. I will be facing worse than this in the future. I need to concentrate on eliminating this malice from my friend's mind.” Encouraging herself, Versailles shook off the unconscious fear gripping her being.

Not wanting to waste any more time, she focused on clearing the black mass.

”Go!”

She directed her firepower to the smoky fog, watching it form a ring of fire around the mass, before engulfing it in a sea of fire.

Instantly, the black fog shrieked and wriggled, trying to rush out of the encirclement. But the fire ring reacted to its attempt, bursting with power and might, it kept the mass trapped inside.

Soon, a fierce struggle took place.

The mass warped and deformed, taking on many shapes to charge out of the ring of fire and escape the assault. However, the fire ring remained strong, stable, and solid, it maintained its stance. The sea of flame rushed, chased, and charged relentlessly at the shrieking mass, slowly eating away at its essence.

A few heartbeats later, the black fog was reduced to a fourth of its original size. The sea of flame continued grinding on the fog, gushing, slicing, and crushing it, until it weakly hung in center, spent.

Puff!

A moment later, the last fourth of the black mass was vanquished, disappearing from the Snake Queen's sea of consciousness. In its place, a green light slowly flowed to the surface. The light was weak, small, and inconspicuous. But Versailles was immediately overjoyed on sensing it.

The green light was the Snake Queen's spirit. After the invasion of the black fog, its presence was overshadowed, leaving it stranded within the black mass.

Cough!

Cough!

Cough!

The elders watched Versailles close her eyes, her hands glowing with a fiery light. They knew the serpentine was treating their queen but still felt apprehensive, as they did not know what she was doing. Their only solace was in the unimaginable purity of the power given off by her hands.

They rested their hearts believing in the miracle and harmless presence the light gave out. Even though they knew that appearances were the most deceiving in the Nar realm, they could not bring themselves to think in the same direction after seeing the light.

”Do you think our queen is going to be okay?” The brown elder was worriedly pacing.

”Let's hope so. Since we have decided to leave everything to Versailles, we might as well stop worrying uselessly. We will wait and see what happens.” The white elder's eyes were flickering with a strange emotion as she watched Versailles' hands.

The purity of such a light was undeniable, unmistakable. So pure and clean, not a trace of malice within.

The reason for her confusion.

She just could not understand.

How could a creature of the vile, deadly, and dark Nar realm possess such pure, clean, and glorious power?

Because as much as it looked like it, she could sense Versailles' power was not just pure fire.

It was a mixture of fire and light.
