Chapter 103 - The Reappearance Of Luke (2/2)
How could the dark armies that were charged with guarding her allow her to escape? They gave chase the moment she started spinning in the air.
In the blink of an eye, a magnificent chase of a thousand dark shadows swarming after a single creature took place.
The Ghost Fog warped and deformed under the thunderous might of the fierce army, producing piercing shrieks and howls like that of a creature in pain.
However, the sorrowful sound neither slowed Versailles nor the shadows.
Versailles sensed the dark shadows catching up to her. Turning sideways, she stretched her mouth wide and spewed red-gold flames of destruction.
”Ahkrrrr!”
Painful grunts and guttural sounds rang out and soon, they were followed by multiple thuds. But even with a few of the shadows dropping to the ground, the chasing horde didn't back off or fear away. They fearlessly kept on with their relentless chase.
Versailles had already expected that outcome, but what she didn't expect was the persistence with which they followed her.
Even after she torched members of their group, they didn't attack her and only kept on chasing.
”Little Amose, I don't think we will be able to escape from this pit.” The despondency was clear in her dispirited voice.
It was ironic how she had desperately planned ahead and yet, still ended up falling into an impasse. She had thought that she wasn't underestimating the Supreme Elder, planting her poisons and setting about exterminating the minor characters, so as to clear her way.
To make their encounter free of restraints and hindrances that could spell her defeat. However, in the end, she had still overly underestimated the beast's determination.
Unlike how she expected him to target her and show his true face in the Battle of Kings, the vampire took advantage of her weakest moment to target her. He threw all caution to the flames and sent dark armies to restrain her.
'Ramose, is this the end? I still haven't entered the Underworld Palace with you.'
Her heart ached as she thought of her mate.
He was still waiting for her.
Waiting to take her home.
However, she had fallen into such a deep pit that she couldn't even find a trace of hope.
She could sense the claws of fate tightening around her, placing her in the same situation she was in at the Eternal Mountains.
The situation she used every single ounce of strength in her exhausted body and battered soul to escape from.
Without her notice, tears pooled in her eyes and slid down her pale cheeks. They were evidence of the despair and frustration festering in her heart.
Boom!
Right at this time, the space in front of her warped, and Versailles looked up in confusion.
'Is it another wave of dark shadows? Why are there so many?'
She thought with apprehension. Holding her little beast closer, she slowly drew back.
The space trembled and shook even fiercer for another few more moments before a foot appeared.
The foot appeared weak and powerless in the violently turbulent space, seeming likely to break and shatter within the next heartbeat.
However, even with the fierce repelling force of the Ghost Fog and violent vortex, it didn't move an inch, remaining steadier than giant ice or flame mountain.
Leisurely, another foot appeared beside the first, and it was soon followed by the unwrapping body of the individual shrouded in the turbulence of space waves.
The instant his entire figure left the space and his features were revealed, Versailles' heart stopped for a brief moment with a resounding thud.
”Supreme Elder.”
The newcomer wasn't another horde of dark armies, but the commander of the dark armies himself.
It was the Supreme Elder of the Bloodsucking clan, the vampire Luke.
”Hello, Versailles. I am glad you are not hurt. Come, let's get you out of here..” His voice was soft, his eyes gentle, as he looked at her like she was his everything.
