The Black Snake, writhing in pain, released its massive maw and recoiled slightly, fixing its cold, menacing gaze on John.
Two neat rows of tooth marks appeared on his arm, and black blood began to flow from the deep wounds.
The pain in his arm was excruciating, and John felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
The poison of the Black Snake was no joke.
He couldn't afford to be careless. With a thought, John activated the Power of Laws, using its life-regenerating abilities to heal the wounds on his arm. The pain eased slightly, and he let out a sigh of relief.
The Black Snake's voice echoed, dripping with malice. "Tsk tsk, it's been a long time since I've encountered a worthy opponent." Its cold, bloodshot eyes never left John, and it spoke with a sinister, almost excited tone.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the massive snake's body flickered and lunged at John, the two of them crashing into each other in a violent clash.
