Chapter 95: Black Puppy

"She...she...she single handedly slaughtered them all!"

It was unknown who the shrill cry belonged to, but when it rang out in the deadly silent region, all of the audiences' hearts turned heavy with dread.

The serpentine was a more formidable opponent than they had expected. 

She alone had the ability to confront an entire group.

"Do you think that's why she challenged all the beasts in the realm? Because she knew she had the ability to face off against them?" A gray succubus couldn't help but ask as she watched the black robed figure on the Viewing Platform.

"Then, doesn't that mean she purposely lured the beasts into accepting her challenge?"

"You think? I mean, why else would she have challenged all the races in the realm if she didn't have any confidence of overcoming them? So, of course she knew!"

"This is bad, this is bad! They are all going to get butchered by her!"

As speculations rang out and realization dawned upon many creatures, the spectating beasts could no longer maintain their calm, anxiously raising to their feet.

With clenched fists and restless hearts, the creatures of the Nar realm attentively glued their eyes onto the Viewing Platform, afraid to miss a scene.

Before the start of the Battle of Wars, many felt hesitant about sending their race mates into the battleground as the Werewolf King's suppression was just too great.

They were fearful that if anything happened to the serpentine, the Wolf King would vent his rage on their race.

However now, their fear was completely reversed.

Now, they were fearful for the beasts taking part in the battles.

On the outskirts of the Erupting Volcanos, Versailles leisurely walked through an infested region of flame crocodiles and fire centipedes.

As a serpentine with fire ability, the native wild beasts' flame attacks and environment's unbearable temperature had no affect on her.

However, it couldn't be said the same for the miserable beasts that were doggedly pursuing her.

In reality, Versailles had the ability to easily dispose of them. But she wanted to use this chance to conserve her strength and be prepared for the worse.

After all, the Dark Lord and Supreme Elder had yet to make their moves.

Therefore, she took her time strolling through the flame crocodiles and fire centipedes territories, making use of the beasts to exhaust the annoying flies relentlessly hot on her tail.

"Serpent, I dare you to come out if you have the guts!" A Uniman angrily yelled.

Thanks to it's wings, the beast was able to safely float above the wild flame crocodiles and fire centipedes. However, due to the harsh temperature of the flaming cracks and pits, he wasn't able to draw near Versailles.

"Yes, snake! Come out if you dare!" Another flying beast, a Three Eyed Blue Bird, belonging to the Blue Bird race, hoarsely shrilled as it flapped it's blue wings.

Compared to the Uniman, it was obvious the creature's stamina and endure was lower.

Many more of the lesser races interestedly watched the exchange between the few individuals, patiently waiting to see if the serpentine would be drawn out.

"Hmph! Don't you see? She is hiding inside the flaming cracks because she hasn't got the guts. So, why are you guys wasting your breath? There is no point to it." The speaker this time was a giant Ogre with green acid flowing down his gruesome round body.

Being the only creature able to withstand the fiery temperature due to his acid vomit, his advance was intercepted by the wild beasts.

Furious and enraged at the troublesome entanglement, he attempted to lure her out through provocation. 

Unfortunately, he was in for a disappointment, as Versailles hadn't so much as reacted to his words let alone be provoked.

A master of her own mind, provoking or inciting her was no easy feat to be accomplished with such measly tricks.

"Are you done? If you are, you can shut your trap, or come here yourself. Won't you find out then whether or not I have the guts?"

"Snake, come out if you have the guts! I dare you to come out!"

"Chee, any other day, I would've definitely stepped forth if you dared to speak to me that way."

"Then come! What are you waiting for?" The Ogre was practically hopping in frustration now.

"Nah! I am on a relaxation stroll now, so I can't answer your call. But why should I come out? Just because you dare me to, do you think you are so important that I will end my fun and come running over to you?" 

Leaning sluggishly on the flame crack behind her, she crossed her arms and looked disdainfully at the wretched creature.

"Woof! Woof!"

At this moment, the bark of an unexpected creature filled the tense atmosphere, drawing every beasts' attention.

"What is that sound?"

"Forget about what the sound is, think about what sort of a creature would make that noise."

"Is it a wild beast?"

The confused beasts called out as they looked towards the direction the cry came from. 

On a tiny crack in the center of a flame pit, they saw a tiny black creature with the clearest black eyes, innocently staring back at them.

"Huh? What sort of a creature is that?"

"I don't know. I have never seen it before."

"Is there even such a race in the realm?"

Having never seen such a creature before, all the beasts fell in confusion, trying to figure out the race of the beast.

"It must be a stray beast." The Uniman concluded after failing to identify the creature.

Stray beasts, creatures that weren't wild beasts and didn't belong to any of the Nar realm races, were far and few in the land. As the various beasts rarely had any encounter with them, they had no definite estimation of their population size and specie type.

As such, no matter how long and how deep they scrutinized the creature, they could not figure out its' race or linage. 

However, as Versailles looked at the tiny black creature, a strange expression appeared on her face.

'A puppy? What in the Nar is a puppy doing here? Or is it even a puppy?'

Shock, confusion, and interest flashed through her violet eyes as she closely scrutinized the creature.

The Nar realm was not a place for pets like puppies to be wandering around. In fact, it was no place for pets at all. Those sorts of creatures belonged to the other six realms.

It was how she was able to instantly recognize the creature as a puppy, when the rest of the surrounding Nar realm beasts were left in confusion, wondering about its identity.

Because she had learned about the creature in the Sybil realm.

As such, she could not figure out how such a harmless creature had happened to not only be in the Nar realm, but also in a place like the Erupting Volcanos' Region.

For it to withstand the broiling temperature, it was obvious that the tiny creature had to be no ordinary puppy. But if so, then what was it? And why was it in the Erupting Volcanos' Region?

"Woof, Woof!"

The puppy barked again, this time training its black gem-like pupils on Versailles, catching her off guard. It almost seemed as if it was beseeching her?

Her brows immediately drew together as her frown deepened.

As she looked into those black gems, a feeling of deja vu enveloped her mind, filling her with a strange sense of familiarity.

'Huh? Why do I suddenly feel as if I know this beast? No, not only know, but was even very close to it?'

Versailles was truly perplexed now.

Since when had she met a puppy in this wretched realm before? Since when was she so close to a puppy in this hellish place?

No matter how deeply she searched her memories, she couldn't recall ever meeting a black puppy before.

"Woof, Woof!"

The black puppy, getting no response from her, sadly drooped his ears as his spirits dampened.

There was a heart-wrenching, devastated gleam in his intelligent black eyes that shook even Versailles' steel-like heart.

"Oh you, come here!"

No longer able to hold herself back, Versailles instinctively called out to the black puppy.

She knew the creature might not be as innocent and cute as it appeared.

She was aware that it could be a trap laid for her by the other beasts.

However, she couldn't convince her heart that instantly melted upon seeing the painful look in the puppy's eyes.

She couldn't bring herself to wound the tiny creature any further.

Hearing her call, the tiny black puppy that was wallowing in pain, instantly raised it's head happiness.

"Yep, yep!"

Briefly hopping around in excitement, it jumped out of the little crack and dashed towards her. Leaping right and left, avoiding pits and holes, in a short instance, it appeared right before Versailles.

Without waiting for any invitation, it joyously leaped right into her folded arms, catching her by surprise.

"Why do I feel like I have just been deceived?" She asked suspiciously as she observed the clean and innocent looking puppy.

At this moment, she was completely unguarded against the little beast.

If it desired to bring her any harm, it could accomplish it with ease.
