The World Serpent - Chapter 217

In the southern outskirts of the continent where the Clan of Monstre resided, three silhouettes stood at a mass gathering of giant abominations. One of them with silver-white hair and golden amber eyes gave a long sigh. The two figures right beside her wondered what made her sigh from forcing out the unwanted intruder.

Did she discover something interesting from the unwanted intruder? Such were the questions within their mind, and they wanted answers for it. They gazed upon the silver-white-haired girl, which resulted in the girl sighing once again.

“It appears that something had happened when you forced out that intruder. What information did you gain from that moment, Persia?” Statera questioned as she was curious about the information Persia had gained. Drya also wanted to ask such a question though Statera had already done it for her. They waited for a while before Persia had a reaction to their questions echoing within their mind.

Persia then turned her gaze towards Statera and replied with her serene voice. “It seems that our attack will not end in this continent. Unfortunately, sooner or later, we would have to destroy all continents that dare to have hostile intentions against the Realm of Piksyon. They had a good plan for bringing more ancient clans along to their death.”

“Did the information about the Realm of Piksyon spread?” Statera asked as Persia answered with a simple nod. Statera lowered her head and turned her gaze towards the abominations gathering around them. Just as Persia had said, sooner or later, their Realm would get completely revealed to other foreign worlds. More ancient clans would know, and they would probably covet the riches in the Realm of Piksyon.

“The Situation got a lot more serious than before. It looks like that conquering this world is now one of such options.” Drya said as she looked at the dark heavens. The two turned their gaze towards her as Persia replied with a calm voice. “We don’t have time to continue staying here. We still have more problems in the Realm of Piksyon.”

“Conquering it would take more time than destroying it.” Statera continued Persia’s words. Drya agreed with their opinions. The Great War still hadn’t ended, and the clock was ticking the more they stayed in the foreign world. They would have to return and manage the things they have in the Realm of Piksyon. Or else it would end up burning and crumbling.

“What do you think shall we do, Persia? Should we destroy it instead of conquering it?” Drya asked for Persia’s thoughts about the subject. She wouldn’t mind if they decided to destroy the World of Exterreri though one would wonder about those who weren’t the members of the ancient clan. They had nothing to do and even if they had known about the existence of the Realm of Piksyon. They wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.

“That is an interesting question you had brought up there. Why don’t we gather all of them together and give them the lands of the Calidus Desert? We can teleport their cities, and they wouldn’t even know that they had left their world. Besides, the Calidus Desert is rather barren without anyone or anything. We can make them our allies and have the Endless Grassland and Calidus Desert under our influence.”

Persia had an intriguing suggestion escaping from her mouth. Teleporting all of the cities in the World of Exterreri to the Calidus Desert. Leaving behind only the Ancient Clans for their termination. They might gain allies by portraying themselves as deities who had saved them from their dying world. That would be an interesting idea.

“Hmm… Your idea seems to be the one that gives us the chance to not activate exterminate everything in the World of Exterreri.” Statera said as Drya nodded in agreement. Persia’s idea was a good one as it was like conquering but without the conquer. It was like taking land and bringing it right beside your capital. A strange and amusing event.

“Before we could continue with such an idea. We would have to annihilate the Clan of Monstre as an example. Their extermination is needed and a must.” Drya said with a slightly cold tone before revolving back to her basic self. Statera and Persia nodded at the same time.

“The abominations have almost completed their gathering. Later, it would be time for them to advance towards the centermost of the continent and start the battle.” Persia said while gazing towards the direction of the Main Clan. She already gave them warnings about the foolish thing they had done. She was also aware of the existence of two Clan Lords. They were weaker than her weakened self.

They were rather disappointing as they weren’t as amazing history portrayed them to be. One was a lustful b*tch, while the other was a cunning idiot. It makes her wonder how they became the ancient clan lords and the history before they told everything. Basically, their progenitors were interesting people. Unfortunately, their grandchildren were failures who relied on the power given to them by their ancestors.

“Anyhow, Persia. I do think that we can handle all of them with just the three of us. Why do you have to gather this giant army for their extermination?” Drya questioned as she had thought that they were wasting time doing nothing but gathering minions.

Persia, for some reason,  slyly smiled and answered. “It is all about presentation, My Dear Drya! What do you think separates a villain from a super-villain? It is their presentation. One is mysterious, the second is destructive, the other is chaotic, and lastly is alien-like. It would be a good battle without large armies.”

Drya and Statera were dumbfounded upon hearing the words of Persia. Did she waste time for a supervillain presentation? And she even called herself a villain. To be honest, the two of them were glad that she was at least self-aware. Drya and Statera sighed as they didn’t want to hear more words from Persia.

“Oi… Why are the two of you ignoring me? Was my explanation about the supervillain presentation not enough to move you? Think about it, instead of killing anyone efficiently, why don’t you treat them like playthings. Of course, that is how villains get themselves beheaded. But this is real-life. There is no inheritance stronger than you.”

“You aren’t serious about your words, right?” Drya questioned with a worried voice as Persia froze for a while before releasing a sly smirk. “Was I serious? Or maybe I was serious? Maybe, I am s-” Before Persia could continue her words, Statera flicked her forehead.

Statera was already used to Persia’s strange behaviors of teasing. She already had known many ways to handle such teasing. After flicking Persia’s forehead, Statera uttered with a calm and seductive voice. “We have a lot of work to do after this battle. A Great War behind us and an entire Extermination in front of us.”

“This does make me wonder on whether or not the Arcanum Region would know our actions. If they had known the existence of foreign worlds, it wouldn’t take a long time for them to start invading such worlds.” Statera thought about those in the Arcanum Region. One of the factions that instigated the Great War.

“That would be if they can survive the Great War. The moment they started such a war. I am not planning on letting them go scot-free. Especially with the trouble, they had caused over the Realm of Piksyon.” Persia replied with a serious voice. She wasn’t planning on ending the Great War with a stalemate. She planned on achieving victory.

“Well, I agree with Persia’s thinking. I don’t want to end this Great War with a stalemate like before. Or else, such a war would repeat a thousand years later. It is time for the Great Forest to stop defending itself and waiting for its death. I think that it’s time for us to fight back against the ones that wanted to conquer us.” Drya nodded in agreement and said with a serene voice.

“Anyway, it looks like the gathering is complete. It is time for them to advance.” Persia said with a smile forming on her face as she ordered the abominations surrounding them to advance forward towards the centermost part of the continent. At that moment, the Prologue of the Battle finally began.

The land rumbling upon the wake of abominations advancing towards the centermost part of the continent. Sometimes mountains crumble as giant abominations pass through them. The advancing army of abominations felt like a vast number of chaotic meat taking their stride over the continent. And within the center of such an army were three figures standing on the biggest abomination.

The view over everything was rather good. The mass charge towards the centermost region was going well, and Persia herself felt that the abomination army could handle anyone that wasn’t a Lord of an Ancient Clan. Though, that was simply a feeling within her. The unstoppable chaos slowly enveloping the continent seems to make her heart, beat in pleasure.

“It will take no more than an hour for us to reach the centermost region of the continent at this current speed. It also looks like they are preparing a siege as they are fortifying everything at a fast speed. A battle between a vast spear and a massive shield…” A smile formed once again on Persia’s face as Drya and Statera simply shook their heads and smiled upon the excitement of their junior.

With that,  the Prologue of the Battle has ended.
