Fortunately, the snake attack lasted only a few moments. In its trajectory, the side structure next to the observation tower was wiped out.
Walking hundreds of meters along the beach and cutting the sandy soil as if it were made of plastic, the dark ray barely touched Yoichi's foot.
Having predicted a ranged attack, the young tamer managed to jump just before the dark beam, which crossed the entire coastal stretch in less than two seconds.
After exhausting the energy, the Hebigure shut its jaws, swallowing the rest of the dark gas. Unlike any demon encountered so far, that giant snake demon had managed to revive after a fatal headshot and had enhanced its body, strengthening its outer structure.
Although only for a few seconds, Enatsu succeeded to communicate his impressions: the merchant had seen other Hebigures in the past, but none of them was of that size, nor had ever fired a ray of dark energy.
