Chapter 112 - Clean Sweep Part 2 (1/2)
The Demon Queen, in her monster form, was stunned silly after witnessing the unbelievable scene before her eyes. A blow that should've had the serpentine writhing in pain, came out empty.
Not only that, but the clash also seemed to provide the snake with an opening to escape.
'No! I cannot allow her to escape my slaughter maze. If she escapes, it'll be me that'll be slaughtered.'
She still remembered the latter's ruthlessness in the previous battles. Since she had made her intention to kill the other clear, her only way out was to truly finish the beast off.
Gritting her teeth, the Demon Queen poured every single bit of magic left in her body into the rotating and entrapping chains, raising their speed, flexibility, and durability to an even higher level.
”Yaaaah!”
She attacked with venomous resentment, deep hatred, and intense grudge at the serpentine she perceived to be responsible for the foiling of her plans and shattering of her dreams.
”Die!”
Another ruthless aim at her neck and Versailles eyes turned cruel.
”Hisss!”
In the next moment, she fully transformed, turning into a complete golden snake from top to bottom. Coiling her metallic tail around her body, she stretched her mouth wide and spewed a sea of red-gold flames.
These flames were fiercer than the boiling lava in the Erupting Volcanos' Region and deadlier than the poison of the three Gorgons.
But since they usually sapped her strength too quickly, she tried to restrain her use of them, usually saving them as a last resort.
Now, as these flames surged up, they melted every obstacle and obstructions in their way, relentlessly pursuing the three-headed monster.
'What in the Nar is this serpentine!? How can she be so powerful!?'
Seeing the red-gold flames that melted her barbed whips in a single instant, Rona Mai was suddenly engulfed in an icy fear that slithered over her skin and entered her heart.
There, it gripped her with an iron fist and ripped and shredded all her pride, fearless courage, and ambitious dreams into ugly dregs that weren't even worth a second glance.
Shuddering in shocked terror and disbelief, with horrified eyes, Rona Mai watched the red-gold flames grow larger and larger before descending mercilessly on her.
”Ahhhhh!”
Her terrified shriek reverberated in the white Colosseum, painful and piercingly sharp, there was no trace of the previous arrogant and proud queen of the Demon clan.
Ramose watched with unconcealable pride his mate bring down the hateful Demon Queen.
'I was worried for nothing.'
He sighed in relief.
Earlier, when he saw her trapped and restrained, an all-consuming fear and concern filled his heart. He knew that she was more resilient and capable than she appeared. However, that didn't make him worry any less.
Before her, all his intelligence and calm reasoning seemed to desert him, leaving behind only a love-sick fool.
Queen Nakee also released the breath she was holding when she saw Versailles's advance.
'She is truly too outstanding! It seems I have underestimated her yet again.'
Her smile was light and clear, free of any envy and anxiety at the possibility of being overtaken by the serpentine.
The Demon Queen returned to her senses at the last instant before the flames buried her. Taking out a yellow magical shield, she unleashed a one-time life-saving spell engraved on the shield.
Although she preserved her life, the flames injured her to such an extent that she had no strength to continue, her figure collapsing and rolling off the stage.
'She didn't die.'
Versailles's eyes flashed sharply when she saw the tumbling figure of the Demon Queen. For a split instant, she felt regret at seeing her escape alive, but soon recovered her composer.
'It's best if you learn from this lesson. If not, then next time, I won't mind finishing you off for good.'
Indifferently, she waited for her next opponent.
”Sigh, even the Demon Queen lost. Just from this two fights, she already has the qualification to be addressed as queen.”
”As the Werewolf King's mate, whether or not she defeated the kings and queens, she was still going to be addressed as queen.”
”Right? But now that she showed her might, the title of a queen is more than just a formality. It is a testament of her strength.”
The beasts were now no longer surprised to see Versailles's might. The past few battles had conditioned them to the serpentines abilities and strength to such an extent that they would've been more surprised if she lost.
With that, Versailles had now defeated two clan leaders, granting her the title of a queen.
The Eagle King looked at the breathtaking female before him in surprise. Before today, even though he had seen the serpentine many times, he had never paid her any close attention.
Her mate had severely displeased him, making the proud eagle enraged and uninterested in any individual related to the wolf.
However, the serpentine before him made his heart race with a single glance.
This was astonishing. Because as an eagle, snakes were their deadliest and most hated enemy. For him to suddenly be attracted to a snake was like fire being attracted to water, difficult and impossible to have a good ending.
”Serpentine Versailles, I am the Eagle King, Veiran Shu. If you can fend off my attacks for two breaths of time, I will admit defeat.” In the end, the Eagle King couldn't bring himself to hurt her, making a compromise that shocked the audience.
”Did I hear that right? The Eagle King is going to attack for only two breaths of time?”
”Hahaha! You heard that right! He is going to attack for only two breaths!”
”That isn't a good thing. After all, the serpentine isn't an opponent to be underestimated. Let alone two, she could last the entire battle if all she had to do was defend. So, why are you laughing?”
