Chapter 91 - Entrance Of Versailles (2/2)
The sea of flames rushed forth and warped, forming a giant turbulent whirlpool.
”Huh? What's going on?” The surrounding beasts were stunned.
They were just about to step forth to inquire about the sudden disturbance when from the center of the fiery vortex appeared a leisurely figure.
The figure was garbed in a long, black robe.
The robe seemed ordinary, generously covering her hands and feet, as the ends dragged behind. A black belt wound around the waist, accentuating her generous figure.
As the radiance of the surging flames fell on her, the robe shimmered and glimmered, seemingly glittering with an endless river of stars.
”There is no need to be impatient. As the star of this Battle of Wars, it is only right that I arrive last, no?”
This black-robed figure was Versailles, who had just arrived at the Erupting Volcanos Region.
Right arm held before her belly, red-gold tresses swaying in the air, Versailles carefreely descended from the river of flames with a bright smile on her face.
She appeared more like a sacred goddess on a stroll than a participant of the Battle of Wars.
As she swept her vision over the stupefied beasts before her, her violet-gold eyes flashed with a brilliance that matched the ebbing flames behind her.
After Versailles separated from the Scorpion King, she took a detour and stopped by the Flame Larva Trees.
There, she coerced a Flame Silkworm to construct a robe for her.
Thanks to her previous rebirth in the Sybil realm, she knew what 'dressing to suit the occasion and stun the crowd' meant.
Even though all the creatures in the Nar realm were beasts, that didn't mean they didn't know what beauty meant.
In fact, because their focus was always on staying alive and surviving, they dearly valued what little beauty they encountered.
Take the Demon Queen, for instance, and the iirifeys who could barely be termed as beautiful.
Just because of their slightly enchanting appearances, they were able to capture the attention of all the beasts within their vicinity.
In a way, the beasts were even more enamored with beauty than the humans living in the other six realms.
And Versailles, a being who possessed three lives worth of experience, was naturally aware of this.
Sadly, Versailles did not put in so much effort to enchant the beasts.
She dressed up to make this period of her life memorable.
A period where she was going to slaughter without mercy, reap lives without remorse.
And for such a reign of blood, black seemed to be the perfect fit.
”Hehehe...it will most definitely be fun.” Covering her mouth with her left hand, Versailles silently chuckled with excitement.
Because then, she could kill without any worry of seeing the bloodstains.
Moreover, after the the bloodbath, the robe would be the perfect coronation dress!
”You? You are that serpentine?” The Demon Queen was shocked.
The serpentine she saw at the Battle of Might seemed to be a completely different beast compared to the one before her.
If the one at the Stadium of Battle Arenas was a gem covered in dust, then the one before her was a purely shinning gem without a taint of dust or soot to be found.
The difference was that drastic.
Similarly stunned were the Devil King, Eagle King, Snake Queen, and of course, the two lovestruck fools, Supreme Elder Luke and Werewolf King Ramose who were frozen in astonishment, wide eyed and open mouthed.
There was no need to mention the poor lesser races. They could do nothing, but stare senselessly, appearing as if their souls were sucked out of their bodies.
”If not, who else? Or do you think there is a beast who has the guts to dare impersonate me in this realm?” Unbothered by the burning glares trained on her, Versailles casually walked to the Snake Queen's side.
”Hey, you look stunning. Why didn't you dress like this before? If you had, you could have walked sideways in this realm!”
Queen Nakee was beside herself with excitement as she gushed profusely.
She always knew her friend was stunning. This was something she saw and felt even when Versailles was clothed in grey rags, looking battered and worn.
However, she never anticipated her friend to get a dramatic makeover and blow the senses of all the beasts away.
This was no longer stunning.. It was realm shattering.
