Voyage Of The Villainess

Chapter 24 - The Eight Tribes



Lady Diana drew her long black whip that was hanging from her waist. Her glossy silver hair, tied in a single backward ponytail, waved as she struck the ground with her whip.

"Every single one of you. If you don't want to be afflicted, get out here!" Lady Diana shouted as she turned to face the stunned onlookers. She was well aware of her own beauty. But this was not the time to bask in the glow of others' admiration for her beauty.

The people in the square began to flee as soon as they heard her remarks.

Diana then began to sprint towards Iris in an instant. She drew her long whip and aimed it at Iris. Iris was able to leap away as she drew her spear from her back.

The whip slammed on the ground instead, leaving a small crater as well as a burst of wind and dust.. If anyone got struck with that, they would surely suffer great injuries.

Baru took a step forward in front of Iris. He took out the two axes that were hanging behind him.

"Why are you here, Baru?" Iris was taken aback when the huge apeman arrived out of nowhere.

"They have apprehended all of our men in Orealles. I ran as quickly as I could to get here." Baru stated. "I'll create a distraction. Iris, get out of here!"

"Escape?" Diana's whip was blocked by Baru, who lifted his right ax. Diana withdrew her whip before launching another strike, this time aimed squarely at Baru and his ax.

"None of you will be able to escape here," Diana declared. She wrapped the whip around the ax's blade and yanked it away from Baru in an instant.

Baru was caught off guard. He wasn't expecting such a delicate lady to be so strong. 'As expected from a tribe leader. But this is only one of the tribe's leaders.' Baru looked around and noticed the other leaders observing the scene. He came to a halt as he noticed an emerald eye staring at him without sentiment. 'I didn't see him before, but even the Drago leader, who is rarely seen, has arrived!' His heart began to beat rapidly as a flashback of seeing the Drago leader flashed across his head.

"Don't turn your attention away from your opponent!" Diana re-launched her assault.

"!!!" It would be too late for Baru to stop the oncoming strike of Diana.

"Focus on the fight," Iris shouted as she sprang in front of Baru, wielding her spear. She jerked the whip in a different direction.

"Iris. I told you to flee." Baru stated. "I'll take care of them."

"Don't kid me Baru. All the eight tribe leaders are here. You are even having difficulty handling one, what more if the others attack. Besides, it's impossible for me to escape now." Iris said as she glanced at all the leaders.

Diana Whitra of the White Fox Tribe. She had silvery-white hair and perfectly shape silver eyes and her three tails from behind.

Orrinth Quendris of the Drago Tribe. Those unfeeling cold emerald eyes and dark purple hair. His physique was well built and quite tall as well. He didn't have any beast features aside from his pointy ears.

Cader Byrgola of the Leon Tribe. A half-human and lion.

Ozanos Karumi of Pistris. What stood out the most with him is his sharp razor teeth.

Idy Geommas of Tigris. He had the same orange hair as Iris but much brighter. 

Tyzzynth Akarrir of the Falcons. His two dark brown wings would be the ones you will notice with him.

Xirxuss Viarlopheis of the Wolf Tribe. He had a complete human form with dark ocean blue hair and eyes.

And Aldria Fronny of the Anguis Tribe. She was a half-snake with scales around her shoulders. Her tongue too continued to rattle like that of the real snake.

Iris would not be perplexed if just three leaders arrived here. But to think that all of them arrived, how did it come to this? She wrote the eight tribes to be egotistical and unconcerned about anything other than their tribes' well-being. She couldn't battle them all at once.

And because Iris had written them down in this manner, Malaya took advantage of it. Iris, however, was totally oblivious of these. She was already in a trap before she could even move.

"Let's put an end to these pointless conflicts," Iris said. But she would not give up like this.

"Pointless? A rebellion like this is not insignificant. It is our responsibility as one of Taleba's eight tribal chiefs to put a stop to these atrocities." Diana stated. When contrast to the last time, her voice was a little calmer this time.

"Now you're interested in the rebellion? None of you came when the Duke died. But now you're all here, blathering about Taleba's duties as tribal leaders? Please don't make me laugh." Iris scoffed. Diana cast her a venomous glare.

"It seems we can't settle this by talking. But still, no one can stop me from getting what I want, even if all of you come here," Iris stated as she dashed towards Diana. "You'll be the first to die!" She swayed her spear with her left hand, while her right hand shone with a red hue. Diana had a feeling that something was wrong with Iris. But it was too late to figure things out when her body couldn't move for no apparent reason.

Diana's abdomen was penetrated by Iris' spear.

All of this happened in an instant. But the end result shocked everyone. Diana sagged on her knees. She stared at Iris as she clutched her injured, bleeding abdomen. "I'm not sure what you're upset about. But I'm done with you, vixen." Iris lifted her spear to attack Diana once again.

"Lady Diana!" Silica, the little fox boy, raced towards his fallen master. 'I'm not going to make it!' To his surprise, someone outruns him like lightning.

Iris noticed the new oncoming assailants. She jumped ahead and realized that it was Cader of the Leon Tribe who was attacking her this time. Iris simply stared at him, "Tsk." She landed with her legs bent, then leaped directly at her next opponent.

"The Leons really like prying around in other people's business," Iris said. The intensity of the reddish glow on her hand increased.

Cader raised his sword towards Iris who was heading to him from above. But Iris managed to flip her body in the air to escape the blade of Cader.

While they were battling, Aldria of the Anguis tribe approached the bleeding Diana. "Hiss."

Silica stared cautiously at the approaching snake woman as he noticed her. "Leave and get your chief treated. Hisss," Her tongue wiggled as she said that. "We'll take care of the rest here." 

Silica nodded his head and whistled. A wyvern flew over to them. He immediately took the injured Diana there, who remained still and speechless.

Aldria took out her poison darts and aimed them towards Iris. But abruptly, she was confronted with Iris's chilly almond eyes. She suddenly had the sensation that her body became frozen before she could even hurl the darts at Iris. Cader suffered the same fate, being paralyzed on the spot. Iris aimed her spear at Cader's shoulders. At the same time, Iris took the dagger attached to her thigh and hurled it precisely towards Aldria's left leg.

The snake woman hissed in pain and couldn't move for some reason. 'What's this? Is this the girl's magic?'

The remaining tribe leaders were astounded to see three tribes leaders defeated so quickly in such a short period of time. As they watched with great focus, they didn't notice a huge dark shadow loomed over them, heading at Iris at an unfathomable speed.
