Chapter 97: The Entrapment Of Wild Beasts

"What do you think, little Amose? Wasn't that thrilling?" Versailles sweetly stroked the little creature's head.

"Woof, woof!" The beast excitedly jumped in response, its' eyes shinning radiantly as it flailed it's paws in joy.

"Haha...let's go! There's still more to come." Holding the beast closer, her figure flashed.

"What just happened?"

"Ah! There was poison in the volcano. That's why they couldn't move when the lava boiled."

"Ssss! There was immobilization poison? Did...did she set it?"

"I was wondering why the fearsome serpentine suddenly turned fearful. She was purposely acting to lead the races into the volcano!"

The creatures in the center of the Erupting Volcanos' Region boiled with excitement as they witnessed the scene on the Viewing Platform.

"That is crazy! The serpentine knew about the poison, so she must have been the one to plant it."

"Isn't that obvious enough? My fear now is whether any race other than the serpentine, will be alive by the end of this battles."

With that one remark, the buzzing crowd abruptly fell in complete silence. That was the same worry they held.

*

"Little Amose, there are still some races that haven't appeared. They must be hiding in ambush at the border between the Erupting Volcano Regions and Black Flame of Nightmare. So, hold on tight, because we will be going on another thrilling ride. Haha..."

Sweeping her surroundings, Versailles spotted shadows and silhouettes moving about the cracks and pits. Sneering coldly, she took a pack from her black sleeves and spilled it's contents as her figure flashed.

A trial of long, white power marked her path as she finally arrived at the border of the two battlegrounds. 

the moment she crossed the lava river and set foot on the other side of the Erupting Volcanos Region, she would be entering the territory of the third Battle of Wars, the Battle of Courage.

She took a deep breath and moved forward.

"Kill!'

"Kill her!"

"Attack!"

Various orders to kill rang out and in an instant, multiple figures flashed and surrounded one tiny figure.

"Serpentine, I commend your ability. To be able to get this far, you are truly formidable. However, your advance stops here." From within the group of encircling beasts, a Minotaur proudly stepped forth.

This was the same Minotaur that had disdainfully advised Versailles to give up before the start of the battles.

Smiling smugly, the Minotaur evaluated the clean looking serpentine.

'During this entire period, how is it possible that she didn't even get injured once?'

Doubt surfaced in his heart as he closely scrutinized the serpentine before him. The snake was not only unscathed, but also looked as clean and neat as the first moment they entered the inner territories of the Erupting Volcanos' Region.

'No way! Such a task is only possible if killing the other races was an effortless task for her, or she was able to successfully evade their pursuit. She must have evaded their pursuit."

He was not ready to believe that she was able to wipe out 1/3 of the beasts sent into the field, effortlessly, within such a short period of time.

Wouldn't that make him the next beast in line to be killed?

Tremors shook his body and he roughly shook his head to banish the horrifying thought.

It was impossible. One beast couldn't accomplish such a feat.

Such blasphemy, he wouldn't believe it!

"Attack!"

Convinced of his own reasoning, he raised his hand, ordering the lesser races to begin their fierce assault.

"Roarrr!"

"Sssss!

"titititi!

Right at this instant, a horde of Flame Crocodiles, Fire Centipedes, and Lava Lizards simultaneously surged from behind Versailles.

"Hehehe...I was afraid that it wouldn't be much fun with a small crowd. So, I decided to invite some guests. After all, the bigger the party, the greater the fun, right? No, no, no! No need to thank me. Just enjoy yourselves and that would be more than enough! Alright, I got to flee now. Have fun! Hahaha..." Laughing mirthfully, Versailles leaped into the air, sprinkled the remaining powder on the surrounding beasts, and disappeared.

"Haha..."

In the ensuing dead silent region, her tinkling, unrestrained laughter was the only sound to be heard.

"Damn! She tricked us!"

By the time the Minotaur returned to his senses, it was already too late.

Versailles' figure had vanished and they were encircled by a frightening horde of wild beasts.

"Owen, what do we do now?" A three headed beast anxiously asked.

"What else? Break our way through and retreat!"

"Yes! All races, break our way through!"

"Break our way through!"

With a course of action laid out, the beasts vigorously clashed with flame crocodiles, fire centipedes, and lava lizards. Since it was a matter of their survival, every beast gave it his all to push back the creatures.

"Yaaah!"

Charging directly into two flame crocodiles, Owen raised his front limbs and ruthlessly smashed the beast's head as he staked the other with his wooden spear.

"Kill!"

Roaring, he dashed towards another crocodile, stomping the creature to death.

"Kill!"

In the same frenzy, the other races madly charged into their nearest opponents, stabbing, slashing, crushing, or throwing them away. 

Heads and limbs flew, and the fire of blood and death surged higher. The clash continued all the way into the next warm morning.

The various races, spent and hungry, stared fearfully at the numerous wild beasts still surrounding them.

"Damn! Why are they not decreasing? In fact, is it just me or are they really increasing?" A dwarf could not help but lament his misfortunate.

The first time he decided to join the force of a powerful group, he meant with such misfortunate. Not only was he not going to gain fame for catching the serpentine, he was also going to have to fight with teeth and nail to safe-guard his life.

His already listless eyes turned even more hopeless as he scanned the ever growing swarm of horde.

"It is not only you, even I feel like the beasts are increasing." Another beast nervously replied.

"At this rate, let alone break through, we wouldn't even be lucky enough to preserve our corpses."

"Shut up! Quit yapping and keep moving. That's the only way out! Understand?" Owen's voice sounded hoarse to even his own ears.

He was panicking. It wasn't only the lesser beasts that noticed the abnormality of the wild creatures. He had noticed it as well. With the passage of time, they only seemed to grow in number.

At this rate, they would really end up as wild beast food.

But why in the Nar weren't they daunted? Seeing so many of their comrades so brutally butchered should have been enough to bring them to their senses and cause them to retreat.

However, that didn't seem to be the case. The wild beasts were acting like blind creatures that were unable to see what was going on around them.

Unbeknownst to him, Versailles had used the Scorpion King to poison the wild beasts, muddling their sense of danger. With the help of the white powder she personally crafted, the beasts had gone mad with hunger and need.

She used the same powder to lead them to the races who were sprinkled with it. 

Now, in the wild creatures eyes, the races weren't adversities to be feared, but their mate and food.

So, how was it possible for them to turn their back on their mate and meal?

"Keep pushing! No one is allowed to stop until I say so!"

Gritting his teeth, Owen hollered threateningly with his red eyes. 

If they stopped, it would be the end of him.

'No, I cannot die here. The moment I get the chance, I need to make use of them and immediately escape from here. My life is more precious than their lowly ones.'

Eyes darkening, he fiercely plunged his spear in the head of a lava lizard. Hurling the beast around, he threw it into the mass of relentlessly charging creatures. 

'Damned serpentine! Just wait! Once I get out of here, I will make sure you go through an experience more horrifying than the hell I am going through now!' 

Vowing wrathfully, he charged through the beast horde.

"Cover me! Attack without restrain!"

Another ice night passed.

"Huff...huff..."

Owen tirelessly fought off a giant crocodile and leaped back, gasping breathlessly. He sensed it.

The races were growing weaker with every passing heartbeat, their strength plummeting. If this continued and he didn't break out soon, the border of the Erupting Volcanos Region would be his graveyard.

Or more specifically, the belly of wild beasts.

"No, I cannot die here."

He was truly desperate now. Because the situation was only going to turn waste as more time passed.

"Yaaah!"

Howling with unwillingness and fear, he charged yet again into the beast horde.

Growling fiercely, he entangled with a giant fire centipede. The creature swung him from side to side, before flinging him into the distance.

"Owen!"

"Thud!"

Crashing onto the flame ground, he groaned painfully, staggering to his feet.

The moment he raised his head, he saw the chance he had been so desperately looking for.

With that one throw, the fire centipede had gotten him out of the encirclement.

Heart racing with excitement, Owen turned and fled.

A little distance away, inside a fire pit, was a figure expressionlessly watching the clash of beasts and wild beasts.

The red-gold locks, enhanced by the red-orange brilliance of the fire pit, glowed radiantly in the hole. The violet pupils intermittently flashed with a golden gleam.

This figure was Versailles.

After drawing the wild beast horde, she had not left immediately, instead, taking shelter in a fire pit to enjoy the show.

After an entire ice night and warm morning of watching the same repetitive scene and seeing the beasts' strength weakening, she grew bored and wanted to leave.

It was at this exact moment that she saw the Minotaur being flung in the air. She also saw him land out of the wild beasts encirclement.

"Hehehe...little Amose, won't the little Minotaur be in so much agony if he was the only one to escape the beast horde? What do you say we be kind individuals for once...and help him, hmm?"

Without another word, her figure disappeared.

"Puuch!"

Owen held his bleeding chest in confusion, not understanding what just happened. Dazedly raising his head, he saw the serpentine.

It was only then that he realized he was going to die.

"Ahh!"

With a heavy, un-resigned sigh, his figure thumped powerlessly to the ground.

"Now that's much better."
