Swoosh!
As fast as the naked eyes couldn't see, a little snake just the size of a finger shot towards Ryu, aiming at his neck. Ryu didn't notice it since it was too tiny, and its color blended in with the leaves.
And when it bit, it had actually torn Ryu's skin that not even an ordinary blade could pierce. Ryu growled and squeezed the little snake in his hand.
With Seraphina's heal, the torn flesh on Ryu's neck was being renewed, and within a second, he was good as new.
"Are monsters here becoming stronger and stronger as we near that ocean or is it just me?" Kai focused his eyes on the trees to see if other little creatures would attack them. He was the last moving in the group while Ryu led the charge. The three mages were in the center to make sure that they were protected.
