Fighting the Snake

Aditya and Andrew were knocked down to either side of the large snake as its head zoomed past them and focused on the trio that just entered the building through the broken wall.

Aditya was dumbfounded as he looked at the large scaly body that is rapidly moved beside him.

[Come on, don't sit there like an idiot. Use this chance to deal with the blows.]

[You too, kid. This is the perfect chance. Don't waste it.]

Aditya and Andrew were dumbfounded, but soon they understood.

Aditya held all three of his weapons that could deal some damage with little effort. He held his own dagger and the bird's beak he got while he threw the knife he obtained to Andrew from over the snake's body.

All of this happened in two seconds and both of them as if they were on the cue, stabbed their weapons onto the snake's body as they tried their best to hold their ground there.

Aditya in particular held his dagger against the body while he held the beak in a slanted way so that the sharp point will act as a plow that is destroying the flesh of the snake directly.

Andrew just held the knife edge against the flesh and the snake which didn't stop its momentum for a while had three huge cuts.

Two on one side and one on the other side.

The scales of the snake flew away as the cuts went along its body.

*HIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS.*

The snake hissed loudly as it stopped right before the three guys and was about to turn out. But the three guys who are in such a panicked state made a mistake.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

They started unloading the whole magazine and the third guy with the sword jumped up and stabbed it on the eye of the snake. He lost the sword as the snake shook its head in pain and he then took out a grenade and threw it at it.

But to their dismay, as the snake shook its body too much, the grenade was hit by its head and landed right at the feet of the three guys.

*BOOM*

Aditya and Andrew saw and heard the loud explosion and they could even feel the tremors under their feet.

They were stunned by what they saw.

The snake was injured a bit because of the close range of the grenade and it started bleeding from under its head, but the three guys were dead and they even left behind that sword stabbed inside the snake's eye.

The snake stopped moving. But at this moment, Aditya and Andrew hand their blades stuck inside the skin of the snake.

They tried to pull them out, but they didn't budge.

Aditya took a deep breath and said out loud.

"Let it go. Move back and hold your cocktail ready."

Andrew didn't hesitate and did as he was told.

The snake shook the pain off a bit and looked at Aditya who is still holding on to the dagger. He let go of the beak and took out a Molotov cocktail. He placed it in the large groove he cut open as far away as he can possibly keep it while making sure that the wick of the bottle is facing the dagger.

He took a deep breath as the snake kept the lower body where Aditya and Andrew were, completely still and moved its head directly towards him as it rapidly came at him. While it was halfway through, it might have wanted to make sure that Aditya is going to get caught and lifted the body unbelievably high.

Aditya was lifted up in the air and he hurriedly used the incineration of the dagger.

The explosive hot red flames enveloped the snake flesh and the dagger immediately came off. The beak which is near the dagger also fell off and both of them fell down backward.

The snake which was coming at him also suddenly stopped and started hissing in pain.

*HISSSSSS* *HISSS*

It started shaking the tail crazily as Aditya and his weapons fell down and hit the floor.

As he was worried that it would kill him with its giant body…

*BOOM*

The Molotov cocktail that was placed in the flesh of the snake exploded.

*HISSSSSSSSSSSS*

The snake uncontrollably hissed as it slammed the body into the ceiling which started cracking with every hit.

*BAM* *BAM*

Andrew who was on the other side looked at the whole thing with a dumbfounded expression. He couldn't understand how it came to this.

They were supposed to die in front of such a creature, but here they looked like they could stand a chance.

Aditya looked at him and yelled.

"Throw the cocktail at its head."

Aditya said as picked up his dagger and the beak and ran towards the tail of the snake.

The snake currently lost a bit more than one-third of its health which is already a big deal for Aditya as this one is a level-6 creature.

He didn't even think he would last this long, but since he managed to damage it this much, he believed that he could much more, and when he realized that the snake is hitting itself over to the structure because of its massive body, he couldn't help but feel a bit more confident.

The creature doesn't have the versatility and couldn't use all of its advantages in this relatively smaller place and every hit it is getting from the walls and ceiling is reflecting on its health bar. This is a great thing to happen.

*BOOM*

Andrew threw the cocktail to its head and it worked like a charm.

*HIISS*

The snake hissed again and again, but the damage is not as good as it was when the cocktail exploded within the body. The scales have relatively higher resistance to the flame and the heat. After all, they have already seen the snake endure a grenade directly.

The only reason its health dropped so much is because of the incineration which worked and burnt off a part of its body and the cocktail that exploded inside of its body.

Now, he needs to think of other ways to deal with this thing.
