Chapter 130: The Incident 18 Years Ago Part 1

As Ramose trembled in suppressed agony, his red eyes remained unwaveringly fixed on the shrieking serpentine as his mind flashed back to the incident 18 years ago.

The incident that changed his destiny, and forever linked his mind and heart to the serpentine laying before him.

*

-18 Years Ago-

In a valley of flaming mountains, known as the Eternal Mountains, two serpentines, one green and the other red, slithered through the scorched ground, their faces flushed from exertion. 

"Versailles, slow down! I need a breather!"

"Nakee, we can't slow down. We need to keep up at this speed for at least thirty more breaths. Only then can we be considered great talents and face the other beasts in the Battle of Wars without fear."

"Thirty more breaths!? I am already spent. How can I keep this up for thirty more breaths!?"

"That's what the Battle of Wars will be like. We will be exhausted and injured, but will still need to keep going. Because at that time, it will be a question of our life and death and the future of our clan's existence in the realm."

"I am aware of that, but...huff...huff...isn't this too much? Even during the Battle of Wars, we get time for a brief respite. But you have been pushing us for an entire 20 ice nights without rest! Surely, even the other participants of the clans are not as hard-working and dedicated as us?"

"What the other participants do is none of our business. We only need to focus on ourselves and give it our all. Victory will be ours without any suspense. And that's exactly the way I like it. I hate suspense!"

As the two serpentines raced through the scorched land, their animated conversation rang out in their surroundings, drawing out a pack of stalwart Golumes 1with lustful expressions on their hideous faces.

"We have hit the jackpot today! Two hot serpentines!"

"Heh...I have never tasted a serpentine before. I am dying to feel one writhing beneath me!"

"I want the red one! I heard that serpentine scale colors are a reflection of their personality. The red one must be a fiery serpentine!"

"The green one isn't bad either. I like the rare color."

"Today is truly our lucky day! Normally, we stray away from the Six Supreme Clans as they are the overlords in the realm. However, the ones before us are only two and are all alone. Taking them down wouldn't be a problem!"

"Hehehehe...!"

The pack of Golumes laughed sinisterly before spreading out into different directions.

Versailles and Nakee continued their race, half of their thirty breaths already covered.

"Only fifteen more breaths and we can rest!" Nakee breathlessly huffed as she kept tight beside her best friend, her cheeks red and eyes glistening with light.

"Hehe...little hotties, why don't you accompany us for today?"

"Yes, yes. If you spend time with us, we can promise to give you much pleasure."

Right at this moment, sinister laughs spread out from their front and back, causing the two to pause in their tracks.

"Who is it? If you dare, come out right now!" Versailles fiercely shouted.

Hot-tempered and quick to anger, she could not tolerate any obscene comments or remarks against her. It was because of this very reason that she was nicknamed 'The Fiery Serpentine' by many of the upstart beasts. 

Nakee, on the other hand remained silent and kept her sharp green eyes fixed in front.

"My, my...aren't you a little fierce? But that works out perfectly. It will be more enjoyable when you push you down and you shriek between us...hahaha!"

The void warped and at least a hundred Golmues appeared at once and encircled them. Their sheer number stunned Nakee as her eyes widened in shock.

"So many! Versailles, what are we going to do now?" Her silent patience finally shattered and she whispered in panic.

"What are afraid of? They are just a pack of Golmues who don't even have the courage to face us one on one. They are trying to scare us with their numbers, but you must not be fooled. Remember, they are nothing but a pack of a lesser race. This is a good time to test our abilities in preparation for the Battle of Wars!" 

Compared to her friend, Versailles was a lot calmer and more collected, taking the incident as even a chance to test her skills. With a radiant glow in her violet eyes, she stepped forward.

"Is that all of you? If not, I will advise you to call the rest of your group while you still have the chance. Otherwise, you won't even get the opportunity to cry once I get started!" She crossed her arms and disdainfully glanced at Golmues, her overbearing attitude making it seem as if they weren't the ones encircled, but the other way around.

The lead Golmue furrowed his brows in thought, the serpentine's fearless attitude shaking his confidence as he wondered if they had backup coming. It was entirely possible, after all, this was the Nar realm and every race knew the dangers on the outside.

As such, the elders of the races always sent their fledglings in groups whenever they went out to ward against ambushes and traps. And these two were from a supreme clan that had more resources and beast power than their own race.

Sensing the creature's hesitation, Versailles sneered.

"What, you dare to step out but don't dare to attack?"

"You shut your trap! Who said we don't dare to attack? Golmues attack! They are only two serpentines. We will crush them before they can even shout a peep!" Shamed into anger at her words that hit close to the truth, the lead Golmue roared in anger and commanded his companions to attack.

However, he himself stayed back, still wary of the two.

"Nakee, I will handle 75 of them. You take care of the rest. As for the lead Golmue, he is nothing but a coward. Once he witnesses his companions falling one after another like wingless bugs, he will escape to secure his life."

"Seventy-five? You plan to take a whole horde alone?" Nakee was stunned silly by her friend's words.

That was a number she couldn't even dream of confronting!

Yet, her friend planned to face a horde on her own.

"Don't worry. They can't do anything to me. Don't forget, they are nothing but a pack of a lesser race. Their strength will definitely be lower than us by a huge margin. Moreover, I am a master of fire. They won't be able to get within three inches of me before I combust them!"

Her radiant smile and self-confidence was infectious, arousing Nakee's morale and fueling a battling intent in her heart. Her earlier nervousness slowly disappeared as her competitive nature reared its head.

'Versailles has going to face 75 Golmues on her own. As her friend, how can I possibly fall behind? We are best friends, so if she can do, I can too!'

"Alright! Hold on tight until I take care of my portion. I will come and assist you as soon as I am able!"

"Hahaha...if you say so!"

With that, the two friends dashed into the group of charging Golmues.

Nakee jumped into the air and lashed out with a barbed whip, the iron fangs gleaming under the dull red Nar sky. Like the synth of a grim reaper, it pierced through flesh and severed off heads, reaping lives as green blood gushed into the air.

Fueled by the scent of blood and adrenaline rush, she swept like a fierce wind leaving a wake of devastation in her path.

On the other side, Versailles expertly swept her tail and slammed on the fallen Golmues, squashing the beasts with her crushing weight. Without pausing, she stretched her mouth wide and spewed a sea of red flames that instantly one-fourth of the seventy-five Golmues to ashes.

More flames swept through the pack as a barbed whip flashed back and forth, littering corpses on the scorched ground. In less than three breaths of time, half of the hundred Golmues were wiped out.

The lead Golmue watched the scene with disbelief, his eyes popping out as he repeatedly shook his head.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could they possibly be this strong? Even if they are from the Six Supreme Clans, they are only fledglings like us. So, how can they be this powerful?" He was close to losing his sanity as he grabbed his head and roared.

He had drastically underestimated the might of the two serpentines. They alone were enough to face an entire army of Golmues.

"No wonder they were wandering by themselves. They possess the strength to face measly creatures like us." The words barely passed through his lips when another chunk of the 75 Golmues were reduced to corpses, leaving only 10 behind.

"Not good! I need to escape while they are still occupied, otherwise, once they are done and turn their sights on me, I will be dead!"

Just as Versailles had expected, once the Golmue saw his companions getting slaughtered in chunks, he turned tail and ran away without a backward glance.

"Not good! Houla ran away! We need to escape and save our lives as well!"

"Escape!"

"Escape!"

In tangent, the beasts scattered in different directions, running in desperation to preserve their lives.

Versailles and Nakee saw the Golmues escape one after the other and breathed in relief. Even though they appeared domineering, the continuous 20 ice nights race had sapped half of their strength, placing them on the brink of breakdown.

Fortunately, the beasts got daunted by their all-out struggle and scattered off on their own.

"Nakee, you stay here and get some rest. I will go after the lead Golmue that ran away. If we allow them to easily escape like this, they will suspect our current physical condition and might group up with other beasts. If they return fully replenished, we will be in deep trouble."

"Okay, be careful and come back quick. We will leave as soon as you return." Nakee understood their precarious situation and didn't attempt to stop her friend.

Unfortunately, she was so focused on recovering her own strength that she didn't stop to consider her friend who was in the same situation as her. The two had tirelessly raced together for 20 ice nights and battled a group of Golmues.

Moreover, the majority of the Golmues were settled by Versailles, who planned to immediately chase after the lead Golmue so that he wouldn't return to create more trouble for them, without taking a breather.

Nakee wanted them to leave the region as soon as she returned without thinking about how tired and exhausted she would be upon her return.

Versailles, however, didn't notice the negligence of her friend as she was more concerned about the escaped Golmues.

"Okay, I will be back soon." With a slight nod, she hurriedly turned and raced into the distance.

And because of this brief separation, the two would be separated for an entire 18 years.
