Chapter 94 - Versailles Might (1/2)
In the center of the Erupting Volcanos' assembled various beasts in battle stances. This beasts were all geared for the upcoming Battle of Wit. Among the group of various beasts stood a female in black starlit robe, her waist-length flame hair floating freely around her.
”Serpentine, you should just give up now before this battles begin, at least then, you could preserve your life.” A Minotaur with braid hair suggested condescendingly as he glanced at the flame hair female.
”There is no need to worry about me. I can take care of myself. You should worry more about yourself, Minotaur.” Arms crossed, the female nonchalantly replied, undaunted by the threatening vibe of the beast.
”Hmph! Fine, if one seeks death, then who can stop them? A horrible death will always be their ending!” Throwing out this ruthless words, the Minotaur left in a huff of flame dust.
At this moment, six streams of powerful energies exploded before the creatures. The energy warped and twisted, before forming into a giant screen. On the screen, every single position and location of the Erupting Volcanos Region was displayed.
This was the Viewing Platform. A magical viewing screen through which all the non-participating beasts could view the battles of wit, courage, ranks, and kings.
”All beasts, the Battle of Wit will now officially begin. May the mightiest be victorious!”
”May the mightiest be victorious!”
With the witches final call, all the assembled creatures surged forward, dashing into the massive volcano ranges in a resounding cry.
”Finally, we can get started. Brothers, let's show this serpentine what it means to be humble!”
”That is a matter of course!”
”Let's go!”
The black robed female watched the hollering beasts with indifference. Without another word, her figure flashed.

In the midst of a flowing lava, a large golden serpentine was coiled tightly around a Giant, viciously strangling the beast. Her two hands held flame arrows that swung back and forth, ruthlessly slashing and stabbing a crowd of relentlessly attacking beasts.
”Serpentine, you can forget about getting out of here alive. Today, I will reap your life to safeguard the Giants future!”
”Enough talk, attack without reservation!” The serpentine fearlessly hollered back, bloodlust flowing from her figure.
”Yaah!!!!”
”Kill!”
”Kill!”
A fierce swing of her snake body sent the beast coiled within her tail sailing through the air, and crashing violently into the pack of beasts, sending the mass tumbling to the flame ground.
The serpentine lunged forward, mercilessly slashing at the sprawled creatures.
Heads flew, limbs and organs sprawled on the flame ground, as a golden blur flashed back and forth, reaping lives as easily as if reaping harvest.
”Ahh!”
”Stop! I quit, I quit! Let me go!”
”I still need to return to my race, do not kill me!”
”Hey, stop begging and attack! That's the only way to preserve our lives!”
”Yaah! Attack! If you treasure your lives, then don't hold back. That's the only way we can survive.”
”Come! It's either you or me today!”
The serpentine, covered in the blood of various beasts, laughed uproariously as she relentlessly twirled her flame arrows.
This serpentine was Versailles, who had entered an area of flowing lava on her way to cross the Erupting Volcanos' Region of the Battle of Wars.
Her destination, was the Black Flames of Nightmare, the battleground of the Battle of Courage.
As the Battle of Wars this decade was one without respite, Versailles had to fight her way from the Erupting Volcanos Region to the Black Flames of Nightmare valley.
Sweeping her tail, she threw the mass of rushing beasts into a boiling red-orange lava.
”Ahhhhh!”
”Ahhhhh!”
Instantly, shrieks of pain and agony filled the place, the smell of burnt flesh spreading in the air. As the creatures rolled and screamed in anguish, their limbs and body melted agonizingly slowly, before dispersing into a puff of smoke.
In one breath, a large group of beasts were instantly reduced to nothing, not a trace of flesh or bone to be found anywhere.
As the surrounding beasts readying themselves to charge forward witnessed the scene, chills traveled down their spine.
Such a brutal death, they neither imagined nor ever thought of seeing with their own eyes. Unknowingly, fear and trepidation invaded her hearts, calming their reckless spirits.
”What do we do? Do we keep on attacking?”
”If not, do we have another choice?”
”It's either do or die. We are still going to die even if we don't attack her.”
”Isn't she only one beast? Why is she so powerful?”
For the first time since the beginning of the Battle of Wit, the beasts of the Nar realm felt deep fear. A fear that went to the depths of their soul.
”Let's not get too close to her. We need to use our brains rather than strength to defeat her. Even though our numbers are thousand times more than her, we have no tact coordination with each other to attack and defend efficiently. Let's focus on that.”
No longer interested in directly engaging the serpentine, they encircled her with spells and magical weapons from a distance without drawing near her.
Their intention, of course, was un-maskable in Versailles' sharp eyes.
