章 122: An Emerald Spark

A surge of determination flooded Claire's veins as she began to formulate a plan to exploit the serpent's reactive nature. She knew that she needed to break the cycle, to disrupt its ability to predict her moves and create an opening for a counterattack. Only then could she stand a chance of winning.

With her spiritual senses heightened to her tolerable limit, Claire's eyes narrowed as she observed the Venomous Astrin Serpent's movements. The serpent's strikes, though swift and deadly, revealed subtle patterns and energy fluctuations that only her attuned senses could perceive. 

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Claire began by changing her stance, adopting a more defensive posture. As the serpent coiled, preparing to strike, she swiftly shifted her weight and launched herself in an unexpected direction, moving away just in time before the poisonous fangs of the Venomous Astrin Serpent were inches away from biting her.
