Death Embrace

He gritted his teeth withstanding the pain that was still fresh in his body as he dodged 2 projectiles from the other 2 snakes. SPISHHH

The projectiles landed on the tree. He was truly grateful for the trees that were in this area. If not for them he was sure that he would have become fried elf under the conditions.

Dodging and scrambling from left to right, he dodged the snakes assaults'. His was now getting used to his new body. His reaction speed was getting faster and he wasted almost no movement.

'Is this why they say elves are amongst the top in this world? This body is amazing.' Tim's thought was cut short when one of the snake slammed into Tim's bear back. BAM

He did not even see when the snake got ahead of him, he was too focused on mastering the nimbleness of his new body.

Tim flew towards the other 3 snakes who opened their mouths and spat acidic projectiles at him.

Tim knew that he was fucked. In under a second he came up with a plan mid air and slammed his left hand in a grip form towards a nearby tree.

With his grip now on the tree, he forcefully broke his crash by using all the body's available strength to shift the area of his crash.

SPISHHH

The dangerous projectiles missed him by a slim margin, but that was enough. He wanted to end the lives of the snake so bad. His body was already in pain from the amount of damage that he had received from them so far. 

He gritted his teeth and ran in between the trees once again. He suddenly had a crazy idea and started to jump on the trees and swing from tree to tree.

He was surprise, due to how agile he was. If nothing confirmed that he was in a fantasy world, him swinging from tree to tree really confirmed to him that he was in a fantasy world.

The snakes followed suite on the ground and continued the chase.

He was already feeling the fatigue after some minutes. This battle was not something that he could drag on any longer, so he came up with a plan to at least get a kill.

He stopped swinging, at the top of a tree. Holding the sharp torn strongly in his hand, he watched as one of the snakes charged towards him from the ground.

This was his opportunity to get a clean kill. The snake's body was covered in thorns, but it still had some defenseless area, like its underneath area.

That particular area was void of any tough scale or thorn, so Tim had his eye on the area.

When the snake was about 2 meters from him, Tim charged at it from the top of the tree.

Not wasting any movement as they were about to make contact, Tim did a spin in the air which slightly shifted his position in the air thereby making the snake's horn to miss its mark.

With the snake missing its mark, its belly side was open for Tim. Without wasting a single second, Tim used the thorn he took from the snake to stab violently into the snake and dragged the thorn down the belly of the snake.

He practically dissected the soft area of the snake with a thorn gotten from the snake.

He landed with a slowed fall because of the momentum break in his fall, but as he landed he flipped to the side to dodge a projectile that was shot at him from the other snakes.

An ominous dark smoke instantly covered the snake and instantly it disappeared from its spot.

Tim almost cried when he saw the notification. He finally had it. He finally had a game like system. The notification was proof of it.

He had read so many novels and he had always figured out what he would do different he was in the shoes of the protagonist in the book he usually read.

Now was the time for him to show that he was different. That he could handle situations better and rise to power faster, unlike the other dumb protagonist.

He was the protagonist of his own story.

"Death Embrace." He called out in haste.

He did not need nobody to tell him how to use a skill, he had read so many system tags novel that he already knew the trigger for a skill.

"Hell yeah. This is what I am talking about." Tim said in joy, as he felt the temporary boost in strength from using the skill.

Now he was sure that he could give the remaining three snakes a befitting death.

He focused and imagined that a long thorn sharp thorn would come out of his hand. Immediately a thorn that almost replicated his imagination came out from his hands.

He did not even need to call out the skill name, he wondered why but that was a thought for another day.

As agile as a monkey, he quickly lifted himself of the ground and climbed the tree once again. The brief advantage that he had was that he had was that he could climb the trees swiftly, but the snakes were too big and they were not that swift climbing the trees.

The snakes stood in a cobra like position and searched for the location of Tim. The snakes vision were not that great so they were mostly just looking for Tim using heat vision.

"Hehe. Now I am the Hunter." He said, as he threw one of the long thorns he generated from his body with intense force.
