Liam gritted his teeth as he glared angrily at the snake slithering toward him. His rage was that he was falling in front of this last opponent, unable to move to dodge or defend himself.
He felt like he was facing death, seeing the attack that would end his long and difficult journey. But he didn't scream or close his eyes in the face of the enemy's attack. He stood his ground, looking directly at the enemy, who flicked, like a blur, until he felt like he was about to be bitten in the jugular.
Just as Liam expected the enemy to rip his jugular, the sound of exploding runes rang out from the direction of the last standing puppet. Instantly, the semi-transparent creature attacking Liam exploded and vanished just as its mouth wrapped around its target's neck.
Liam's eyes widened as he felt this, escaping certain death for a split second!
