Demon anacondas

Located in a marshy forest where the Demon Anacondas habitat was situated. Murky waters were being paved by the four. Frogs croaked on their surroundings and others dove into the waters after perching on some dead decayed trees.

Splashing of their feet was heard seemingly for how many hours from when they arrived at such habitat. Mosquitos don't help much and they were bothering them ever since. Slaps on their body parts were heard nonstop.

The water was just below their legs, a little higher than their feet. Mosses were seen on the moldy trees and floating green duckweed were seen numerously as they were covering the waters. Slightly bouncing on the waves that their feet were making.

"Troan, how far are we from their turfs? We are walking for hours now. And the mosquitoes are bothering me," Mark said then slapping his cheeks.

"We are under their hunting grounds now and it will be a matter of time before they will see us. Don't worry, seeing them will be the least that you will want," Troan said then winked at him.

Sendrick went to watch his shield and was heavily damaged in the past fight. It has cracks currently and he was doubting if it will survive another attack. Especially when the enemy was humongous as such demon anacondas. Thinking about it, he subsided his worries as he looked at Troan's back. He felt dependable at the moment. It took trial through fire to get that kind of feeling they felt. Not only Sendrick but the others as well.

They traveled into deeper parts of the marshy habitat and felt that they were being followed. Troan was alerted and found it not amusing to feel.

"Um Troan," asked Sendrick.

"Shush, they are here," Troan said to them.

Upon saying it, something passed on their back. Hasty glances were then made as they turned around and only saw ripples on the water. It made the others slightly panic and have goosebumps at the moment.

"Um, Troan, is that what I think it is?" Mikael said while pointing at their top.

A humongous snake was seen hanging on the top of the branch of the tree. The Head stood erect while its body was hanged downwards. Scales were shining and it crackles as it went down towards them. Splashing the water as it landed. It hissed in great mockery while tongue sticking out back and forth.

"There too!" Sendrick almost shouted.

It was then, that one appeared from the water with its head stood erect. Two appeared on both sides and they were surrounded in all directions.

"Damn it, four at once! We might not live to tell the tale!" Troan almost bellowed.

They soon prepared to battle them and then they immediately assumed their formation. Troan felt disturbed, they can't chew more than they ate this time and it will have a great setback. More like their lives were on the line this time once again.

Troan looked at his teammates then at the enemies. Even with their battle prowess, their current selves were not yet up for the task against four enemies at the moment. One can be bearable but four at once were something hard to swallow.

"There's is only one command. Retreat if you can't deal with the enemy, I will hold them down when you are doing so," Troan commanded.

"Okay boss!" Sendrick as well as others shouted.

They assumed battle formation and then prepared for an all-out battle.

Shriek!

The enemies opened their mouths and soon pounced at them. Sendrick evaded its mouth while bearing its fangs at him. Making his splash on the side.

Troan slashed its scales and it just slid on its surface.

Mikael hammered the one that attacked him on the head and it shook its head. Slightly dazed and stunned. Sendrick then was attacked again and he blocked it with his shield.

Bang!

His shield shattered and bits of splintered wooden planks scattered. Sendrick was then sunken to the water upon the clash. Bathing all of his body in the process.

Mark then assisted him and slashed the head of the snake with his two-handed sword.

Slash! Swoosh!

Making the enemy dealt with damage and the enemy wailed a bit. The enemies then were infuriated by their attacks and their eyes reddened.

Shriek!

They soon rampaged on their attacks and pounced at them. They felt alerted to their sudden change of behaviors and attack patterns.

"Shit!" Troan bellowed.

They attacked with their fangs and then they rolled to evade their onslaught of attacks. Sendrick then was grabbed on his feet by its tail and was constricted.

"Troan! Help!" Sendrick shouted.

While being constricted, he shouted with all he got. Held by its enemy and was about to swallow him alive. Troan was alarmed and then leaped towards it and stabbed it while its mouth was opened wide. Further releasing him in the process.

They fought for many minutes and the struggle was bitterly on the losing side. Troan was injured after he saved Mark from the enemy's tail that whipped at him.

Mikael was also saved after one enemy made a sneak attack on his back while he was hammering one enemy.

Troan then felt like they can't hold out for long. Thinking that their enemies were still energetic and full of vigor even with all those wounds.

And they on the contrary were on the last end of its flight. Panting while drenched in sweat and murky waters, they still fought to the bitter end.

"Everyone! Retreat! I will hold them back!" Troan shouted.

"But Troan! We can help you!" Mark shouted.

"Obey me just this time! Retreat now! I can survive this, don't worry," Troan said to them.

They soon dashed towards the opposite direction, watching his back one last time then ran without turning back.

"Hope you survive Troan, we will wait for you!" Mikael shouted.

"Don't you dare die!" Sendrick seconded.

Upon retreating, Troan was alone with the enemies still alive and kicking. It will be a battle of attrition for him while holding them back. One enemy wanted to chase them down but Troan called for its attention.

"Hey! Over here! Come fight me!" Troan bellowed.

It shrieked and then attacked Troan with its mouth.

"Wanna hug me? Come!" Troan shouted.

Troan then was attacked and he side-stepped a bit on the side while slashing its cheeks. Stabbing its head in a flicker. The enemy wailed and then lost its life. He drew the sword and then was whipped by the tail of one of its enemies.

Smash!

Troan was thrown a bit and he splashed on the water. Trying to get up, he was then attacked by another one as it charged at his back.

Troan was flung once again, he stood up hastily and then wiped his mouth with the back of his hands.

"You should try harder! Haha!" Troan bellowed.

The enemies were more infuriated by his attitude. Making him smirk at the moment.

Three enemies remained and others were wounded. One died with his sword and it was quite a feat.

Three attacked simultaneously and then Troan dashed towards them. Splashing of feet was heard while doing so. Running hastily and sword held in his hand.

Troan then was attacked by one and he slashed its eyes with great precision. Stabbing its cheeks at a moment's notice. One anaconda attacked with its fangs and Troan Rotated while evading its mouth. Flipping to the side and then was attacked by another one.

The mouth opened wide and Troan blocked its mouth with his sword. Held upright to prevent its mouth from eating him.

Troan can only hold his sword tighter while doing so, he can't fight without a weapon. And so, he removed with all his strength the said weapon.

Thinking about it, he went struggling to remove it. And alas, he finally removed it but he was struck on the belly with its tail.

"Ugh!" Troan let out all the air from his lungs as he was struck.

He was flung and smashed on the murky waters, tumbling several times. He stood up and held his sword in his front.

"Troan!" Doom shouted at his mind.

"Doom? What's it now?" Troan muttered.

"Let me take over!" Doom said to him.

"No! I'm fine!" He said.

"Says the one who's heavily injured. Well, I can take over if I want as you are heavily damaged," Doom said to him.

"Okay, you are in charge for now," Troan paused.

"Doom!" Troan shouted.

With just the utterance of his name, Doom emerged. His wounds healed and then his sword appeared. His eyes and complexion changed. He went paler than before and his hair became white.

"You should pray for forgiveness for hurting Troan, Kneel! Ugh, I forgot, you don't have legs don't you? Well, crawl!" Doom said to them.

He threw his sword and it rotated, it went in an arc cleaving one head to another. Cleaving three heads in one fell swoop. The speed and strength used in the sword were ripping the air. Also, an exploding sound was heard as the sword made contact with the scales.

Their heads fell on the water and then smashed on the water. Further dripping the water with their blood. The murky and messy waters were bathed with their blood red.

"Well, that's it. I am finished." Doom said then Troan took over.

"That easily? He sure amazes me," Troan muttered.

Troan then collected four regeneration crystals that they painstakingly fought for. Sadly, they can't break it for now as his teammates were heavily injured. And fighting another four will took a toll on their bodies.

The Demon anaconda boasts of +1 Health point regeneration per second, +1 Mana point regeneration per second, and +1 Stamina point regeneration per second. And sadly, they can't afford to harvest another one for themselves.

Troan then met with the others on their base and he saw them on the campfire hidden in the tent made of sticks. They went nearly weeping after they saw Troan alive and went hugging him.

"Troan! You are alive! I am so glad!" Sendrick said to him while they hugged each other.
