Chapter 111 - Clean Sweep Part 1 (2/2)
With a resounding boom, it finally landed with a majestic force that radiated might and glory.
Versailles woke with a start, the loud noise startling her from her nap. Looking around in confusion and incomprehension, she saw the horde of beasts pushing forward.
'Did the Battle of Kings begin?'
She was about to move when she felt an arm wound tightly around her waist, restraining her movement.
”You're awake? Good. The Battle of Kings is just beginning.” Ramose's deep and rich voice was soothing as it entered her ears and calmed her heart.
”Did any beast find out...?” The words had yet to leave her mouth when his large hand fell on her head and gently rubbed her hair.
”Would I allow you to fail? Of course not! No beast has found out. Once we enter, just go directly on stage, hmm?”
Warmth spread through her heart as she obediently nodded, a faint blush staining her fair cheeks an attractive pink.
At her obedient appearance, tenderness bloomed in his heart, and a strange sweetness he never experienced before filled his senses.
Tightly securing his hold, he flashed towards the gaping gates of the Grand Colosseum of Nar with her in his arms.
With the entrance of the Werewolf King, the remaining clans and races rushed into the white structure, the cracked and fractured ground losing its original appearance within a matter of moments.
”I must get the best view to see the clash between the Eagle and Devil King!”
”The best views are reserved for the Six Supreme Clans, but even finding second best is not easy. The superior races will snatch them from us.”
”Forget! Let's just find any seat.”
With the settlement of the creatures and the Kings gathered on stage, the Battle of Kings began.
Versailles stood in the center of the arena, clean and refreshed, as the Devil King viciously lunged at her without warning. Throwing out his hands, a fierce wind gushed forth and violently slashed at her figure.
Unperturbed, Versailles rose into the air and used the propelling force of the howling air to sail across the sky and land right behind the devil.
Her figure flashed and she harshly kicked the beast, sending him skidding, before following with more vicious kicks and punches that reduced him into a snarling mess.
”Stop, stop! How dare you humiliate me in front of a crowd.” As if unaware of his current situation, the Devil King roared with furious anger.
Unfortunately, his roars fell into deaf ears. Versailles transformed into her serpentine form and ruthlessly smashed her golden tail at the flailing beast.
”That's for having the intention to bring harm to me!”
BANG!
With a loud crash, the Devil King of the Seeking Evil clan was roughly kicked off the stage, his trembling figure deeply impaled into the white stone floor.
Kyaaah!
A giant three-headed monster with four arms ran hatefully towards the giant serpentine. Wielding a barbed black whip in the shape of a viper, the beast leaped in the air and flung the whip.
BOOM!
BOOM!
'How fierce!'
Versailles suddenly found herself in a chain maze of flying barbed whips, obstructing and blocking her every attempt to escape.
Shiiiiing!
Bang!
Dodging another blow aimed at her throat, she slithered across the floor and twisted and glided back and forth.
Two more barbs aiming for her heart and head followed, rending her helpless.
'This Demon Queen is truly fierce. Since the start of our exchange, she's been delivering blows that force me to only defend helplessly.'
Versailles was shocked by the overwhelming pressure of the three-headed monster. With the help of her four arms and nefarious barbed whip, she had her completely under her control.
What's more, the chains were dark with a venomous poison that could finish off even a serpentine.
'This can't go on. I need to break out of her chain maze as soon as possible.'
With her heightened senses, she could perceive a strong killing intent and deep resentment from the beast. Since the latter wanted her dead, she had no choice but to go all out.
Her life wasn't so easy to reap.
”Hisssss!”
Sharp and ruthless, her violet-gold eyes flashed radiantly as her snake scales hardened. Flushing with a metallic sheen, they unreservedly clashed with the barbed whip, raising sparks in the air.
Shiiiiing!
The clash of metal against metal was so loud that the audience covered their ears in pain.
'This? What's going on? Nothing happened to her after clashing head-on with my venomous barbed whip?'
