Chapter 145 - Chapter 145 The Giant Python

As they left for the next town Lily stared at Thomas and said "Since you agreed to what she wanted does this mean you'll do what I asked to?" Thomas shrugged and said "Even if the seal was removed I don't have anywhere else to be." Lily stared at Thomas's chest and said "So even if you didn't have the seal you'd stay with us?" Thomas nodded and said "Yeah probably." Lily smiled and said "That actually a big relief." Thomas stared at her confused and asked "Why's that?" She stared at him and said "Sometimes it seems like if you didn't have that seal you would've ran off somewhere without us." Scarlett glanced at Thomas and said "I too thought you might run away if it wasn't for the seal." Thomas glanced at them and said "You don't have to worry, besides I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye first." Peri and Ceil stared at him and asked "What will happen to the party if you do leave?" Thomas stared at them and said "I'm pretty sure the party would continue." Ocis stared at Thomas and said "If you left I wouldn't have any reason to stick around." Scarlett stared at Thomas and said "I feel the same way, if I can't repay my debt to you then I have no point in being here." Lily stared at Thomas and said "If my dad found out that I was traveling alone I'd be in huge trouble." Daisy stared at Thomas and said "My reason is almost the same as Scarlett's." Peri and Ceil stared at Thomas and said "We only joined because we heard about the fun you guys had together." Poppy glanced at Thomas and said "So your holding everyone together." Thomas sighed and said "I guess so." Scarlett stared at Thomas and said "We should be arriving in the next town sometime tomorrow." Thomas stared at her for a moment and said "As long as this town doesn't have some sociopath that tries to kill me the moment I show up I'm sure it'll be fine." Ocis grabbed onto Thomas's arm and said "I won't let them hurt you!" Thomas glanced at her and said "What if they're super strong?" Ocis stared at Thomas and said "I still won't lose!" Thomas shrugged and said "Can't argue with that." As they walked Scarlett pointed in front of them and asked "What is that large tree trunk like object blocking the path?" Thomas stared at it for a few moments and said "It looks like its moving." As they walked closer and closer to it Poppy said "Thats because it is moving." Thomas grabbed Poppy and gently set her down on the ground as he said "Wait here a minute while I check this out." Thomas began to run towards the object blocking the path as he mumbled "If its moving it could be dangerous." Thomas kneeled down and began to poke it as said "Is it dangerous?" Thomas continued to poke it as he mumbled "Maybe it's not dangerous." As a snake head raised above the part Thomas was poking it began to hiss. Thomas glanced at it and asked "Are you venomous?" The snake lunged at Thomas and snap at him. Thomas leaned back and avoided the fangs as he said "It's definitely not friendly but does it have poison?" The snake opened its mouth as poison dropped from its fang and onto the ground. As the poison hit the ground it quickly damaged the ground. Thomas stared at the hole the poison had made as he said "Oh you are poisonous." Thomas walked towards the hole and said "The poison melted through the ground." Thomas glanced at the snake and asked "What would happen if you bit a person?" The snake lunges at Thomas again as he said "Well I guess I don't care enough to find out." Thomas stepped back and kicked the snakes head into the ground. The snake lifted its head and attempted to bite Thomas once again. As Thomas moved out of the way he sighed and said "I shouldn't have left all of my stuff in that damn sub space." Thomas glanced behind him and said "The others should hurry, without magic I don't have many ways to beat this thing." Thomas stared at the snake and mumbled "Did kicking it even do anything?" The python coiled and began to hiss as Lily and the others finally caught up to Thomas they stared at the python and said "You should've waited for us!" Thomas stared at them and said "Well I figured I'd just get started without you." Scarlett held her hand up to the python and shouted "Soul Control!" As the python lunged at Thomas once again Scarlett pushes it back and said "I won't allow you to harm my party member." Ocis grabbed her spear and said "I said that I'd help fight whoever and whatever attacked you, and I intend to do so." Ocis took to the air and flew towards the snake with her spear as she said "I won't let you harm my future husband!" Thomas stood there and mumbled "Future husband, when did I agree to that?" As Ocis hit the snake her spear didn't even manage to penetrate its skin. Ceil held up her hand and shouted "Water bolt!" As water blasted from her hand Thomas asked "When did she learn how to do that?" Lily smiled and said "I taught her how to do that." Thomas stared at her and said "Nice." As Ceil's water bolt hit the python it rushed down the snakes body with no effect. Thomas stood there and watched as the others continued to try and attack the snake. As Thomas sat there observing the fight Poppy stared at Thomas and said "May I make a suggestion?" Thomas glanced at her and said "Go for it." She pointed to the python and said "If you can't penetrate its skin why not attack someplace softer." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "I can also give you some of the spare mana I have." Thomas stared at her and asked "What good will that do me?" She stared at him and said "If you try hard enough you might be able to summon your sword with that amount of mana." Thomas took his jacket off and held his hand out as he said "Well I guess it's worth a shot." As the sword appeared in Thomas hand he muttered "This is way more exhausting then what it should be." Poppy stared at him and said "Well it should be, your mana pool is still building itself back up." Thomas shrugged and said "Might as well give your idea a little test." Thomas dashed towards the snake and shouted "Hey you, why don't you try eating this sword instead!" Lily stared at him and asked "What's he up to?" The python began to slither towards Thomas. As the snake was close enough to strike Thomas it quit moving the rest of its body and quickly moved its head in to bite Thomas. As the snake opened its mouth Thomas smiled and said "You don't have no scales on your insides." Thomas shoved the sword and his hand into the snakes throat as he shouted "Just die!" As Thomas's sword hit the back of the snakes throat a drop of poison fell off its fang and landed on Thomas's arm. Thomas felt the venom melting away some of his arms flesh as screamed out in pain he pushed the sword deeper and deeper into the python's throat. Thomas let go of the sword and jumped away from the python while holding his arm as he mumbled "Lousy snake." As the python fell to the ground Daisy rushed towards Thomas and asked "Are you alright?" Thomas glanced around her and said "Yeah I'm fine." Daisy grabbed his arm and said "Don't even try lying, this is poison we need to treat it quickly and hope that it isn't spreading through your body." Thomas stared at the sword in the python's throat and seen that it was being melted by the python's venom. Thomas fell backwards and said "Alright, just get this check up over with." After Daisy carefully examined the wound she let out a sigh of relief and said "The venom didn't get into your blood stream but we should still be careful." Daisy grabbed some bandages and began to wrap his arm as she said "You need to be more careful." Thomas stared up at the sky and said "Yeah but some risks are necessary." Poppy threw his jacket onto his chest and said "When I told you to attack it's weak point I didn't think you'd hold your hand in its mouth." Thomas pushed the jacket off of him and said "Sorry I destroyed the sword you picked out." Poppy stared at the sword and said "Your arm is way more important right now." Thomas stood up and walked towards the snake as Daisy said "You should stay put until I'm done treating you!" Thomas grabbed the sword and ripped out of the python's mouth as he said "I'm gonna hold onto this."
