Chapter 91 - Entrance Of Versailles (1/2)

Luke was focused on locating Versailles figure. He completely blocked out the rest of the realm.

As such, he missed the werewolves appearance and the Werewolf King's sharp gaze.

It was directed at him.

Ramose's sight swept through the gathered beasts, resting briefly on the Supreme Elder's figure, before moving on.

He still remembered the vampire's persistent behavior in keeping Versailles separated from him, in keeping them apart.

One day, he was going to get back at the blood-sucker for pushing his mate into this mess.

”Scorpion King, here is good enough. Return to the Ancient Fortress and inform Chief Mein to keep vigilant and rise the training difficulty level for everyone in the fortress. I want them to be able to work together as efficiently and fluently as water and fire. I want them to be the sharpest beasts in the realm. Convey that to him.”

”Don't worry, Master! I will definitely convey your words to the Goblin Chief. But...?”

”But what?”

”Do you have to go? Can you not participate in this battles?”

The Scorpion King was very anxious. He was worried for his newly found Master as he didn't want to lose the only Master he had ever truly acknowledged.

However, he had no idea how to change her mind and prevent her from taking part in the battles.

”Why? Do you think I will lose?”

”No, absolutely not!”

'It would be great if you only lost the battles. But what if you end up losing your life?'

Even though that was what he thought, the Scorpion King didn't dare to say it out loud.

”Master, I just think you are too great to be wasting your time with such lesser beings. Rather than dirtying yourself struggling and brawling with such creatures, it would be a better use of your time to go and take over other regions of the realm. What do you say? Should we go and take over other regions?”

He was practically begging now, just hoping she would be somehow convinced to turn her back on the Battle of Wars.

Unfortunately, the Scorpion King wasn't able to understand the importance of the Battle of Wars to Versailles. As such, he was bound to be disappointed.

”Hehe...nice try, but no. Go back to the fortress and relay to Chief Mein my instructions. You are also to remain there until my return. As for other things...just wait and watch.” Without another word, Versailles turned and flashed into the distance.

The Scorpion King resignedly watched the golden blur of her figure vanish, worry and sorrow warring in his beady eyes.

From his expression, it was clear he didn't have any hope of ever seeing her again.

”Snake clan, where is your participating serpentine? Why is she not here yet? Did she finally gain some sense and decide not to show up?” The Devil King could not stand the reverent looks in the other races eyes when the werewolves appeared.

Knowing that they felt deferential towards the Werewolf King, he felt enraged.

They were both kings of their races.

So why was the wolf the only one that received the undivided respect of the races?

Even if he was stronger, at the end of the warm morning, he too, was only a king like him.

”You don't need to worry, Devil King. Our serpentine went out for a task, but she will be here soon. She is not the type to flee a battle.” The Snake Queen was unaffected by the sarcasm and venom in the Devil King's tone. She knew the beast was just trying to find an outlet to vent his frustration.

As such, she completely ignored him after nonchalantly replying.

”Whether the serpentine gets here or not, it doesn't matter to me. I was just concerned for King Ramose. After all, his mate and Queen, the pride and honor of the Werewolf clan, turning tail and running away at the last moment would not only be embarrassing, but shameful as well.”

”That would be quite shameful, actually.” The Demon Queen added in a pitying tone, her dark gaze glued firmly to the black wolf.

She wanted to approach him, but wasn't confident that the beast wouldn't ignore her.

Purposely getting herself embarrassed was not her forte.

”Devil King, Demon Queen, thank you for the concern. I appreciate it, but truly, you don't need to worry about me running away. As the Snake Queen was kind enough to point out, I am not the type to flee a battle.”

Huuuuu!

Hisssss!

At this moment, red-gold flames covered the sky and the ground vibrated violently.

The nearby lavas, flame pits and holes surged up, torching the Erupting Volcanos Region in a shower of red-orange flames.
