Chapter 82: Enslaving The Gorgons

The Gorgons of the Poison Fields had been feared for their venom for many years. Even when they were just within the ranking of groups, they were never looked down upon. However, never in their wildest nightmares had they ever expected a day would come in their immortal lives, where they would beg a serpentine to spare them inside their own lair.

They were Gorgons. They were not nefarious without a reason. Their venom was not one to be slighted.

Versailles' gaze was indifferent and cold as she watched the kneeling females. She did not have much time. She needed to wrap everything up as soon as possible.

"Should I take that as you not wanting to preserve your lives?" Her cold voice resounded in the damp environment, carrying unconcealed killing intent.

"No, we...we are begging you to spare us!" The three stammered out, chills going down their gray bodies.

"Huh, remember, this was your choice."

Not wasting any more time, Versailles transformed into her serpentine form and spewed a sea of flames, engulfing the whole area in a river of fire.

The Gorgons were caught off guard. They were not expecting the serpentine to be so decisive.

Gritting their teeth, the three stood and rushed forward, their snake hairs hissing viciously as they lunged at the charging Versailles.

There was not a trace of their earlier pathetic, fearful appearances to be found. Attacking, without restrain or fear. Obviously, right from the beginning, they had no intention of truly surrendering.

When they got down on their knees, begging for their lives, they were only putting on an act. They wanted to lower their enemy's guard and attack her when she least expected it. However, things did not work out the way they expected. The ones caught of guard was not the serpentine, but them.

The flames arrived before her serpentine form, lapping mercilessly at the hissing venomous snakes. Shrieks and hisses of pain rang out as most of the snakes immediately shrunk back.

"Do not blame me little snakes. Blame your masters for their incompetence." Versailles apologetically said as she saw the pitiful condition of the little snakes.

Sharp light flashed as a Gorgon with green snake hair, slashed ruthlessly at Versailles with a sword. The magic infused sharp sword nicked her arm, rushing towards her neck. She leaned back, dodging the sharp sword aura just in time.

Thin stream of blood flew, but stopped within the next heartbeat, the wound instantly healing itself. Not stopping to check on the state of the injury, Versailles angrily hissed and swung her golden tail at the incoming slash of the gorgon's blade, flinging the sword out of her hand.

Cling!

Following with another swing of her tail, she flung the green snakes Gorgon across the cell, crashing her violently into the stone wall. The wall shook, the rebounding force causing the Gorgon to vomite a mouthful of blood as her body slid down to the floor. Groaning painfully, she fell limp onto the stone floor.

"Elder sister!" The two remaining Gorgons screamed at the same time. Their hate filled eyes flashing with an insidious light, they charged wrathfully at her, enraged.

Versailles was prepared for their attack. Raising her upper body high till the ceiling, she swung with her golden tail again. The Gorgon leaped into the air, dodging the incoming tail, and relentlessly continued towards Versailles heart.

'Just one strike! One strike and we will gain the advantage.' The Gorgon desperately roared in her mind, her eyes focused on that one spot.

Versailles did not miss her gaze, smirking disdainfully at the naïve Gorgon.

'Why is she aiming towards one direction? Does she thinks I have left an opening?'

Swinging her hand, Versailles slashed. Blood flew and the Gorgon fell screaming to the ground, red-gold flames spreading from her right waist to the left of her face. Her limbs pounded violently on the stone ground, in an attempt to alleviate the searing pain.

"No! Second sister!" The last remaining Gorgon, the youngest, screamed in fear and rage.

Her two elder sisters were effortlessly brought down within a few breaths time. Passed out or screaming mournfully on the damp ground, covered in flames. She, the weakest, was the last one standing.

And she had no misconception about herself. She was the weakest of the three. The serpentine would take less than a breath of time to bring her down.

"Grrr, I will not hold back anymore." Hatefully gritting her teeth, her malicious snake eyes flashed with wrath as she ruthlessly pulled out a handful of her snake hairs. The snakes screeched in pain and red blood flew down her eyes. Without pause, she threw them Versailles.

Versailles expected the last serpentine to attack more desperately than the first two. As the last one standing, she would be more clear of her circumstances. On realizing that she was left with no other way, she would not hold back anything, in striving to preserve her life and secure her safety.

As such, the instant the Gorgon released the snarling and hissing red snakes at her, she spewed out another river of fire. The damp, foggy environment was lit up in red-gold flame, as the painful shrieks of the snakes reverberated in the cell.

Within less than five breaths of time, the wriggling swarm were reduced to crisp lumps of snake meat, their burnt stench, sickening and stomach turning.

"No...no...no. Impossible! How is this possible? How can you easily burn my immortal snakes?" The Gorgon stood trembling as she stammered, her hideous gray face, turning an even uglier shade of grey.

"Hmph! There is no such thing as impossible in this realm. Just never done before. Now, prepare to obediently accept your fates or else." Nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders, Versailles smirked.

"Or else, I will make your lair, your nightmare!"

Shivering, the Gorgon fearfully stepped back, an ominous feeling settling into her heart.

"You...you....what do...what do you...want to...do?" She was scared out of her wits, screeching in fear as she moved even further back, trying to place as much distance between them as she could.

She could sense the serpentine was about to do something terrible to them. So terrible that they might never be the same again.

Before today, she would have never believed that a serpentine in the Nar realm could challenge all three of them at once. Not only was she able to defeat them. She did it so effortlessly, as if she was playing with pets, rather than dealing with a dangerous specie.

'In her eyes, maybe we are no more than pets.' She thought dejectedly as she recalled the arrogant and haughty appearance of the serpentine when she first showed herself.

There was neither fear nor apprehension as she faced the three Gorgons sisters. 

Right from the beginning, it was them who had overestimated themselves, leading to the current situation.

Her coming prepared was within their expectations. After all, every race in the Nar realm was aware of what the Poison Fields represented. Her coming alone, only meant she had full confidence in her preparations.

However, they never expected the nightmare that appeared before them to be so overwhelming!

"What I want to do is none of your business. What you should be concerned about, however, is how you are going to please me, going forward." A dark smile on her face, Versailles held the red-green python eyes she specifically hunted down, in her right hand.

Swinging her left arm, three blurs of red-gold light flew out, cutting respectively on the three Gorgons wrists. Raising her right hand, red-green radiance filled the damp cell, flowing through the path of the red-gold light. It flashed onto the cut wrists of the Gorgons.

Instantly, howls of pain and cries of agony, filled the cell. Red-gold-green lights flashed in and out. At times brightening, at others dimming. The heart-rending scream continued for half an ice night, before slowly weakening. 

Half an hour later, the painful shrieks stopped.

Versailles was covered in sweat, her violet-gold eyes rimed with red as she tremblingly lowered her right hand. Her serpentine figure weakly swayed back and forth, the strength in its powerful form, completely sapped.

"Huff, huff, huff."

Breathing laboriously, she protectively curled her golden tail around her body. Sweeping her violet eyes around the damp cell one last time, she could no longer keep them open and fell into a deep slumber.

"Ahhh!" Waking with a scream, Versailles abruptly swept her gaze around her surrounding.

What entered her eyes, was damp stone walls and poisonous miasma. A light flashed in her mind, and she remembered where she was.

"The Ancient Fortress of the Poison Fields. Oh, yes. My great deed! Was it successful?" 

Unfolding her golden coil, Versailles transformed into her human form and raised her hands. A bright red-gold flame appeared, lightening the place as bright as day.

Sweeping her vision over the areas where the three Gorgon's last were, her eyes instantly brightened with joy, as her cherry lips stretched into a wide smile.

"Yes, it worked!"
