Chapter 72: Course Of Action

Versailles felt Queen Nakee stir the instant the black smoke vanished. She controlled her flames and slowly retracted them, leaving the small green glow floating in her sea of consciousness.

On the other side, the serpentines watched in shock as black smoke flew out of their queen's seven orifices. The smoke carried a sinister and chilling aura, freezing them in shock. The black smoke twisted and wriggled before disappearing in a puff.

"What was that? Was that the....?" The grey serpentine elder was shocked.

"Yes. It was the invading darkness magic." The white serpentine elder replied, fear and relief on her face.

"So, there is really a way to overcome the corroding darkness!" The brown serpentine elder held her chest, the same relief marring her face.

"As long as there is a way to overcome the corroding magic, then we will have a chance against the darkness magic wielder."

'Yes. As long as there is a way to fight against the shadow armies, it will not be too late for the Nar realm to put up a fight.'

The Wisdom elder saw the effect of the invisible barrier and looked at Versailles again. She knew it was not only the barrier that cleaned the Snake Queen's mind. It was also the pure and powerful magic ability of the gold serpentine.

Now, she was even more curious about Versailles' fire-light magic. She had never seen anything like it before and wanted to know where a Nar realm creature obtained such a pure and clean magical power.

"Uhm..."

"Snake Queen! Are you okay?" Seeing the unconscious Snake Queen coming to her senses, the serpentines surrounded her with worry-filled eyes. They were curious and worried about their queen. It was their first time witnessing the cleansing of dark magic and as serpentines who had never seen such a matter, they were unsure of how to ascertain its effect.

"Calm down. We will know the results after the queen awakens." The Wisdom serpentine advised calmly.

Immediately, the restless serpentines came to their senses and cooled down. Whether the healing procedure worked or not, there was nothing they could do about it. Versailles was their only hope. If she failed, then their queen would be in grave danger.

At this moment the Snake Queen opened her eyes to a crowd of restless serpentines peering down at her in concern. She gingerly sat up and felt the hands sliding down her head. Turning, she saw Versailles sitting behind her with her eyes closed.

Instantly, she remembered the familiar presence in her mind.

"Versailles! Versailles, are you okay?" Worried her friend might have gotten affected by the black smoke she cleared for herself, Queen Nakee anxiously called out to her.

The other elders were relieved to see their queen wake up. Since the moment her treatment began, they had been on tenterhooks, worried of something going wrong. As time went by, they grew even more anxious, internally reprimanding themselves for being hasty and agreeing to a treatment never tested before.

However, all their doubts were washed away the moment they saw their queen awaken well and healthy. Moreover, now the queen's complexion and green eyes were clean and shiny, as if the dark haze hovering over her soul had been vanquished.

The serpentines were overjoyed and grateful to Versailles. They knew, such a task was able to be accomplished successfully only because Versailles knew what to do. If they were placed in the same situation, the elders would be left stumped.

As such, when they saw the Snake Queen's worried appearance, they were instantly alarmed.

"Is Versailles okay?"

"She is not in danger, is she?"

"I heard that dark magic had the ability to corrode any presence that approached it."

The serpentines briefly relieved of worry for their queen, were tense with nerves once again. This time, they were more stressed than when their queen was unconscious. This time, the object of their worry was the werewolf king's mate and the Nar realm's future.

"Okay, let's believe in lord Tarke. Since it sent Versailles to save our queen, surely it wouldn't be that easy to take her down. Let's not panic just yet." Serpentine Wisdom was forced to once again advise the nervous serpentines to calm down.

As the oldest and wisest serpentine of the Snake clan, at times, her words had greater weight than even the Snake Queen's.

The Snake Queen was oblivious to the serpentines' clamor, focused completely on the motionless Versailles. She took her friend's hand and kept calling out her name. However, there were no movements or responses from the gold serpentine.

Five heartbeats later, the crowd was close to losing their cool again. Even after many attempts to arouse Versailles, there was no response from her. The longer time dragged, the more apprehensive the serpentines grew.

"I don't think we should wait anymore. We need to take Versailles for treatment. The longer we delay, the worse the situation could escalate. If anything happens to her, the werewolf king will not spare us. He will decimate our clan." The yellow elder could no longer hold back her fears.

She knew.

If anything happened to the gold serpentine, they would not need to wait until the shadow armies descended. The Werewolf clan would turn their Floating Flame Island into Floating Blood Island. They would vent their king's rage and grieve on the Snake clan.

Out of all the six supreme clans, the demons and devils were the most devious and brutal, the vampires were the most sinister and scheming, and the snakes and eagles were the most deadly in their strike. The Werewolf clan, on the other hand, were the most calm.

No matter how they were provoked, they did not engage or respond to provocation that easily. In fact, their every response or action was based on logic and the law of survival of the strongest. Once they attacked, they came up on top.

In fact, they enforced the law more than any of the other six clans because of their small population. It was the formidable might of their individual strength that dominated the other races.

And this might went unleashed when their mates were endangered or aggrieved. If anything happened to Versailles, the wrath and unleashed might of the Werewolf clan would befall the Snake clan.

As such, the yellow elder was most apprehensive of the Werewolf clan, and their unpredictable force of wrath.

The other elders similarly turned pale, shivering once they heard the yellow elders' words. They too did not desire to unleash the wolves' wrath upon themselves.

"I agree with elder Yulein. We should not wait any longer. What if something goes wrong due to delay in treatment?" The brown elder was also not keen on striking the hornet's nest.

"Yes. I agree with the two elders as well."

"We should not delay any longer."

Soon, more serpentines voiced out their agreement in getting Versailles treatment as soon as possible to guard against any mishap.

"Snake Queen, what do you suggest? Should we move Versailles?" Wisdom thoughtfully asked Queen Nakee, who was still trying to reach the unconscious gold serpentine.

"I...We should do all we can to ensure nothing happens to Versailles. She is not responding right now, so there must be a problem. We need to get rid of the issue to bring her back to us." Suddenly pulled out of her trance, it took a while for the Snake Queen to comprehend the serpentines' words.

Once she thought of Versailles' situation, she could not focus. Her thoughts scattered, her heart unsettled. If anything happened to her friend, she would never be able to live with herself.

Thinking up to here, she turned towards Versailles again, her green eyes flashing with guilt and pain.

"Come, help me carry her from here." Controlling her emotions, she commended the elders, bending to raise her friend. But before she could touch Versailles, a red-gold light burst out of the golden serpentine's body and enveloped her form, blinding their sight.

Versailles, who was within the glowing flame light, felt her body lighten, her senses spread, and her mind clear.

The moment she cleared Queen Nakee's dark energy, an anomaly occurred. At the moment she was retracting her rivers of flame and fire ring from the Snake Queen's conscious, the two experienced a metamorphosis.

Combining and fusing, the power she used to create the fire ring evolved into tri-golden fire rings, settling in her core around her fiery soul in a protective shield. The rivers of flame also gained a golden hue.

The only difference was, the flames were now red-orange, shimmering in the center of a golden beacon of light as bright as the sun in the Sybil realm. The flames infused with her fiery soul, changing her fiery aura to a majestic glorious one.

The Instant her soul's aura changed, she felt different. She could not tell where or how she was different. But she knew.. At that instant, something in her changed.
