Chapter 39: Compromise?

The races trembled, unconsciously shivering as they thought about the reason why they attacked the serpentine. They were against the union of the snake and wolf leading to the present situation.

The same wolf that currently had three supreme clan leaders under his jaws and paws.

Sweat covering their backs, they nervously swallowed as they uncomfortably shifted on the hard cracked crimson cement.

They hoped the serpentine would deem them too puny and insignificant to bother mentioning them in her conversation with the wolf king. They did not want the Great King's dark sight to shift on them.

"You can release them now," Luke said to Ramose, his expression indifferent.

Ramose glanced at Versailles who slightly nodded in agreement. Loosening his hold, werewolf Ramose moved back, crouching by her side.

The Demon Queen, Eagle King, and Devil King straightened up, healing their wounds as they warily looked at Ramose. They were still not able to accept the fact that the three of them combined could not deal with the werewolf king.

It was the same case with their clan members as well. The three clans groups could not handle the two Snake and Wolf clans.

Were they growing weaker with the passage of time or were the wolves growing stronger?

Either reason was not to their liking as they both affirmed them weak.

The Demon Queen, Rona Mai's expression flickered with various emotions as she looked at the wolf king. The beast had clenched her neck in a death grip, but the strength he exerted from his hand was not meant to take her life. This much she was certain of since during the whole exchange, there was neither an increase nor decrease in the force gripping her neck.

That was only possible if he had perfect control over his strength.

This also meant that the wolf did not use his full strength to fight against them. She shivered as she thought of the implications of such possibility. The Werewolf clan, though few in numbers, were strong enough to face three of the five clans to a draw. And that is when the possibility of their hidden strength was not taken into account.

If they joined forces with the Snake clan, then the Nar realm would truly be under their rule!

No. She could not permit something of that sort to happen. She wouldn't allow that to happen!

Secretly exchanging glances with the Devil King, the two nodded at each other at the exact same time, before looking away.

Luke caught their brief exchange, his eyes filling with a strange light as his expression turned contemplative.

Queen Nakee also moved to her friend's side. The adrenaline rush from the sudden exchange slowly cooling down. Things went down a little too quickly, but they were able to maintain the upper hand. The Werewolf King proved himself to be a greater adversary than any of them anticipated.

She should be happy at the sudden windfall. The first time the Snake clan took sides, it turned out to be with a seemingly weak but strong clan.

However, she was not able to. There was an ominous feeling brewing in the depths of her heart, gnawing on her flesh as it crawled through her skin.

It was that feeling that something was wrong or was going to go wrong. But what?

"Since the serpentine herself proposed to challenge the races in the Battle of Wars alone, then there is no need for the other races to be polite. In this decades' Battle of Wars, the serpentine from the Snake clan will face against the races in the Nar realm, including the races from the other four clans."

"The Snake and Werewolf clan will sit out on this challenge as they have relation with the Serpentine." The demon queen declared as she faced the crowd.

Since she wanted to prevent the Snake and Werewolf clan from forming an alliance, she had to attack while the iron was hot. She had to attack before the other races were intimidated by the Werewolf King's display of might and cowered, refusing to accept the challenge.

She had to strike while there was still a chance to attack.

"In return, the races will not get in the way of the Werewolf King taking his mate home. Agreed?" The demon gave a friendly smile as she concluded her speech, waiting for the serpentine's affirmation.

"We will not get in the way of the wolf king. The Battle of Wit 7 ice nights from today will be used as the stage to begin the Battle of Wars, where the races will attack the serpentine together. But since this Battle of Wars is different from the traditional, its duration will also have to be amended." The Devil King stepped in after the Demon Queen was done, not giving Versailles the chance to speak otherwise.

"There will be no pauses between each battle. Meaning right after the Battle of Wit, the Battle of Courage, the Battle of Rankings, and the Battle of Kings will be held back to back, one after the other in their specific regions. There will be four waves of attack.

The first wave will be considered the Battle of Wit, the second the Battle of courage, the third the Battle of Rankings, and last the Battle of Kings. And since there will be no pauses between battles, after the conclusion of each battle, the contestants will have to fight their way to the next battle region."

"For the serpentine, that means rushing to the next battle stage as soon as the first concludes while for the races, it means after the first wave is defeated, they will fall back, allowing the second race to immediately step in, fighting their way to the next battle arena."

"That is the only way we would allow you, the Werewolf clan, and the Snake clan to freely walk out of here. Do you accept it?" The devil smiled vilely as he looked at Versailles, his malicious intentions clear in his vicious declaration.

Since the snake wanted to fight to the death then he would give her a pleasant death. Even if she successfully overcame a battle, she would still have to rush to the next battle arena without rest, beginning the next clash. Soon enough, exhaustion and overexertion would bring her to her knees if not the beasts.

And she would still have to deal with the frivolous creatures that would be chasing after her to the next battleground. Thinking of all the cruel and brutal ways the serpentine could die, elation and excitement brimmed from his eyes, impatience marring his earlier humiliated expression at the Wolf King's jaws.

Killing intent towards the devil king took root in Ramose's heart as he saw the gleeful look in his eyes. Any beast with a brain could see the changes made in the Battle of Wars were specifically targeted at tormenting his mate to her death. Moreover, the vile look the devil gave Versailles was anything but good.

Growling, he was about to spring at the smirking Devil King when a soft hand landed on his back, slowly sliding through his thick fur up to his neck, before gently caressing behind his ear. Electrifying shock ran through his body, boiling his blood and eliciting an unconscious groan from his throat as he closed his eyes in excruciating pleasure, snuggling closer into the body next to him.

Seeing the blissful expression on the wolf's face, Versailles softly smiled, her gentle eyes overflowing with deep sentiments. She never expected there would come a day in her life where her slightest touch would affect someone else so deeply.

To successfully nurture and strengthen the connection of this bond, she would not hesitate to face even the fiercest of storms.

Turning to the Devil King, she simply and firmly replied.

"I agree."
