—(Damn it!)
Tyler promptly raised his protective sword and round shield, repelling and slaying the encroaching venomous snakes.
As he was occupied with the snakes, the Crimson Serpent King caught up and devoured the fallen horse in one gulp!
"Hiss— Hahaha!"
"Thought you could run? Try running now, hiss... Let's see if you can outrun me!"
The Crimson Serpent King, Splurt, was brimming with confidence. Bereft of his warhorse, the youth had no chance of outpacing him.
Although the night was riddled with unexpected events, the Secret Saber: Blaze Steed would soon be his prize!
Upon closer inspection, Splurt was astonished to find that the youth who almost ruined his plan was none other than Banning, the very person the "Lord Earthly Ghost" had ordered him to surveil!
—(Humph, you're just unlucky...)
—(Neither the Earthly nor the Heavenly Ghost can save you now.)
