Chapter 95 - Black Puppy (1/2)

”She...she...she single handedly slaughtered them all!”

It was unknown who the shrill cry belonged to, but when it rang out in the deadly silent region, all of the audiences' hearts turned heavy with dread.

The serpentine was a more formidable opponent than they had expected.

She alone had the ability to confront an entire group.

”Do you think that's why she challenged all the beasts in the realm? Because she knew she had the ability to face off against them?” A gray succubus couldn't help but ask as she watched the black robed figure on the Viewing Platform.

”Then, doesn't that mean she purposely lured the beasts into accepting her challenge?”

”You think? I mean, why else would she have challenged all the races in the realm if she didn't have any confidence of overcoming them? So, of course she knew!”

”This is bad, this is bad! They are all going to get butchered by her!”

As speculations rang out and realization dawned upon many creatures, the spectating beasts could no longer maintain their calm, anxiously raising to their feet.

With clenched fists and restless hearts, the creatures of the Nar realm attentively glued their eyes onto the Viewing Platform, afraid to miss a scene.

Before the start of the Battle of Wars, many felt hesitant about sending their race mates into the battleground as the Werewolf King's suppression was just too great.

They were fearful that if anything happened to the serpentine, the Wolf King would vent his rage on their race.

However now, their fear was completely reversed.

Now, they were fearful for the beasts taking part in the battles.

On the outskirts of the Erupting Volcanos, Versailles leisurely walked through an infested region of flame crocodiles and fire centipedes.

As a serpentine with fire ability, the native wild beasts' flame attacks and environment's unbearable temperature had no affect on her.

However, it couldn't be said the same for the miserable beasts that were doggedly pursuing her.

In reality, Versailles had the ability to easily dispose of them. But she wanted to use this chance to conserve her strength and be prepared for the worse.

After all, the Dark Lord and Supreme Elder had yet to make their moves.

Therefore, she took her time strolling through the flame crocodiles and fire centipedes territories, making use of the beasts to exhaust the annoying flies relentlessly hot on her tail.

”Serpent, I dare you to come out if you have the guts!” A Uniman angrily yelled.

Thanks to it's wings, the beast was able to safely float above the wild flame crocodiles and fire centipedes. However, due to the harsh temperature of the flaming cracks and pits, he wasn't able to draw near Versailles.

”Yes, snake! Come out if you dare!” Another flying beast, a Three Eyed Blue Bird, belonging to the Blue Bird race, hoarsely shrilled as it flapped it's blue wings.

Compared to the Uniman, it was obvious the creature's stamina and endure was lower.

Many more of the lesser races interestedly watched the exchange between the few individuals, patiently waiting to see if the serpentine would be drawn out.

”Hmph! Don't you see? She is hiding inside the flaming cracks because she hasn't got the guts. So, why are you guys wasting your breath? There is no point to it.” The speaker this time was a giant Ogre with green acid flowing down his gruesome round body.

Being the only creature able to withstand the fiery temperature due to his acid vomit, his advance was intercepted by the wild beasts.

Furious and enraged at the troublesome entanglement, he attempted to lure her out through provocation.

Unfortunately, he was in for a disappointment, as Versailles hadn't so much as reacted to his words let alone be provoked.

A master of her own mind, provoking or inciting her was no easy feat to be accomplished with such measly tricks.

”Are you done? If you are, you can shut your trap, or come here yourself. Won't you find out then whether or not I have the guts?”

”Snake, come out if you have the guts! I dare you to come out!”

”Chee, any other day, I would've definitely stepped forth if you dared to speak to me that way.”

”Then come! What are you waiting for?” The Ogre was practically hopping in frustration now.

”Nah! I am on a relaxation stroll now, so I can't answer your call. But why should I come out? Just because you dare me to, do you think you are so important that I will end my fun and come running over to you?”

Leaning sluggishly on the flame crack behind her, she crossed her arms and looked disdainfully at the wretched creature.

”Woof! Woof!”

At this moment, the bark of an unexpected creature filled the tense atmosphere, drawing every beasts' attention.

”What is that sound?”

”Forget about what the sound is, think about what sort of a creature would make that noise.”

”Is it a wild beast?”
