I smirked as my stats flashed before me.
While I was still not as strong as to kill a Divine-ranked mana beast, I was confident in my ability to inflict fatal damage to the cyan serpent.
Yes, I said fatal damage.
I wasn't aiming to just hurt it and run away now. Oh, no. I was aiming to bring it down. I was going to kill that reptilian bastard!
Baring my teeth, I drew my sword back. The colossal serpent shot at me like an arrow, trying to ram me for the second time.
But this time, I was quick to counter it.
I swung my sword to meet its assault head-on. Sparks flew as the blade of my jian collided with the serpent's snout.
Even though the serpent pushed me back, I managed to stand firm this time. At that moment, a flicker of confusion seemed to appear in the serpent's reptilian eyes.
But before I could act on its momentary confusion, the serpent disengaged, rising above me like a towering omen of death.
