The serpent, still reeling from the explosion, let out an enraged hiss as it began to thrash violently. Its massive body reared up once more, and its eyes locked onto Kai and his companions with a newfound ferocity.
With a low growl, it tilted its head back, and in an instant, it spat a massive stream of venom. The thick, green fluid splattered across the ruins, hissing as it melted through stone and rubble, leaving a trail of scorched earth in its wake. The venom came fast and relentless, a barrage of toxic spears aimed at the trio.
"Move!" Kai shouted, already leaping to the side. His staff was raised, and his magic flared as he prepared to dodge. The others reacted just as quickly, each moving with practiced speed.
Mikita twisted in midair, using her agility to dodge the venom, while Luca ducked behind a fallen pillar. Kai was the last to leap, narrowly avoiding a direct hit, but not without feeling the heat of the venom passing dangerously close to his side.
As they regained their footing, the group watched in awe as the venom sizzled and hissed, eating away at the nearby ruins with alarming speed. Stone crumbled, and ancient walls melted like butter under the serpent's corrosive spit.
"That's dangerous," Kai muttered under his breath, eyeing the damage. "It's not just a weapon—it's like a walking natural disaster."
He wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, focusing his attention on the serpent. Its head was moving erratically, still recovering from the blast. It was time for a change in tactics.
He turned to Mikita, his expression serious. "This thing moves a lot, and I can't keep it in one place. It's your part now—use your power to pin its head."
Mikita glanced at him, understanding immediately. She smirked, her body already shifting as she prepared for the next move.
"I got it," she replied, her voice confident as she crouched slightly, gathering momentum.
Without another word, she leapt into the air, weightless as she soared upward, her eyes locked onto the serpent's head. The massive creature was still flailing, but its movements were sluggish now, weakened from the earlier explosion.
In the blink of an eye, Mikita's weight increased, and she crashed down onto the serpent's head with a thundering impact. The sheer force of her weight pinned it to the ground, and the massive snake let out an enraged shriek, struggling beneath her.
"Easy!" Mikita laughed, her tone light as she held the serpent's head in place. The creature's massive eyes bulged in frustration, but it was helpless against Mikita's Kilo Kilo power.
Kai smirked, watching the snake struggle. "Yeah, because I made him slow down," he said, his tone a mix of pride and amusement.
Mikita chuckled, maintaining her grip as she stared down at the serpent's writhing head. "Well, we're not done yet. Just make sure you finish it off while I've got it pinned."
Kai, standing a short distance away, gave a sharp nod, his expression unreadable. "Naturally." His voice was calm, but there was something about his tone that sent a flicker of uncertainty through Mikita.
Without warning, Kai took a step forward. His gaze locked onto the serpent's gaping maw, the creature's mouth now wide open in a desperate attempt to strike back at Mikita. And then, without a single moment of hesitation, Kai jumped hurtling toward the serpent's open mouth with the precision of someone who had done this a hundred times before.
"What the hell is he doing?!" Luca exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock.
Mikita blinked, unsure if she had just seen what she thought she had seen. "Wait... Is he actually—?"
Before she could finish her thought, Kai was already airborne, diving straight into the serpent's cavernous mouth like a man who had absolutely no regard for the dangers that awaited him inside.
"Ah, whatever," Mikita sighed, shaking her head with a smirk that was almost fond. "It doesn't matter. Do whatever you want, I guess."
She adjusted her stance, her weight still firmly anchoring the serpent's head to the ground, and watched with a bemused expression as Kai disappeared into the creature's maw. Luca was still frozen in place, his mouth agape, unable to comprehend the move.
"Is he crazy?" Luca muttered, his voice full of disbelief. "He's really going in there?"
But Mikita just shrugged, her face now serious as she kept her attention on the writhing beast. "He's like this," she replied with a nonchalant tone. "We should get used to it."
Meanwhile, inside the serpent's mouth, Kai was already on the move. The inside of the massive creature was slick and wet, its enormous teeth surrounding him like jagged pillars. He could feel the vibrations from the serpent's struggles, the walls of its throat pulsing with the effort to free itself.
Kai wasn't worried about that, though. He had a plan one that was both reckless and brilliant.
The moment he was inside, he quickly summoned his staff, using its power to amplify his magic. He could feel the serpent's venomous saliva dripping around him, but he paid it no mind. This creature was his target, and he wasn't about to let it escape now.
"This is the perfect place to test this," he muttered to himself, a grin playing at the corners of his lips. He could feel the power of the serpent's internal workings, its pulsing veins and strained walls, and the burning heat of its venom, but none of it distracted him. This was his moment to experiment, to test the limits of his abilities.
Kai's staff crackled with energy as he summoned his magic. With a swift gesture, he channeled his focus into his spell. Gravitational Missile. The air around him thickened with gravitational force, and a massive orb of intense gravity appeared, its swirling mass pulling at the very essence of the serpent's insides.
The orb expanded rapidly, pulling the walls of the serpent's throat toward its center, crushing everything in its wake. The pressure inside the creature escalated as the orb sucked in everything, a violent and suffocating force tearing through the serpent's body. The serpent's entire form bucked, thrashing violently, as if caught in the grip of an unseen force.
Outside, Mikita and Luca could see the serpent writhing in agony. The air rippled with the intensity of the magic, the ground beneath their feet trembling from the pressure Kai was applying.
"He really is doing something inside!" Luca began, his voice trailing off in disbelief.
Mikita narrowed her eyes, her grip tightening on the serpent's head. "Just hurry up Kai, it might not seem like it but my powers are a pain in the ass to use for a long time!"
Kai, however, was already a few steps ahead. He knew his spell had more potential, and this was the moment to test the fusion of his powers. now it was time to add more.
With a concentrated push, Kai cast Terra Magica, a spell that created a spherical zone around him, amplifying his magic as he casted Rock blaster near the orb both combined in an unholy symphony of destruction.
As the orb expanded even further, Kai's eyes widened in realization. The magic had gone too far. It was reaching critical mass.
"Bad idea," Kai muttered, grimacing as the orb continued to grow in size, pulling everything around it into its crushing grip.
"Really bad idea," he cursed under his breath, the realization sinking in that he had gone too far, too quickly. The pressure was too much.
He didn't have time to react before the orb began to destabilize, the magic spiraling out of control. A deafening crack sounded from the inside of the serpent's body as the orb threatened to detonate.
"Thops Barrier!" Kai shouted, slamming his staff into the ground as a shimmering, translucent barrier enveloped him.
The resulting explosion was catastrophic. The immense force of the gravity and glintstone magic combined unleashed a shockwave of raw power. Kai was thrown backward with the full force of the blast, his body careening through the air like a ragdoll. The world spun around him as he flew, his vision blurring with the intensity of the force.
Then, with a violent crash, Kai slammed into the ruins of an ancient building. The walls splintered and crumbled around him, and for a moment, everything went silent. Dust and debris filled the air as he groaned in pain, the force of the blast leaving him disoriented.
"So it... works," Kai grunted, pulling himself up from the rubble. His hands shook from the impact, but his mind was still clear. "Gravity spells can be mixed with others... but that's just too dangerous up close."
Mikita, who had released the serpent's head and was now standing off to the side, turned her gaze toward the wreckage of the building where Kai had crashed. Her eyes flickered with concern, but she held her position. The serpent had gone still—its body writhing slightly but no longer actively struggling.
She took a few steps toward Kai, watching him carefully as he rose from the rubble, his body battered but his expression unchanged.
"Are you alright?" Mikita asked, her voice laced with a hint of worry, though she tried to mask it with her usual tough demeanor.
Kai wiped the dust from his face and looked up at her, a faint smile crossing his lips. "I'm fine." His voice was steady, though his body ached from the impact. "Nothing I can't handle."
Luca, who had been standing off to the side, his eyes wide with disbelief, took a hesitant step forward. "What did you do in there?" he asked, his voice filled with curiosity and some confusion. "That was insane."
Kai shrugged nonchalantly, though his body still throbbed from the aftermath of the explosion. "Tried to make it work, but gravity's a tricky thing. Mixed it with Glintstone magic, and it had... interesting results."
Luca blinked, still processing the information. "You what?"
But before Kai could offer a further explanation, he straightened, his eyes turning toward the serpent. Its massive form lay there, barely moving, but the ominous red health bar floating above its head was a clear sign that it was nearing its end.
Kai stepped forward, drawing his Cleanrot Sword from his back with a swift motion, its dark blade gleaming in the light. He eyed the serpent one last time, a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Well," Kai said with a smirk, looking back over his shoulder at Mikita and Luca, "he's literally at death's door. Time to end his misery."
With that, he raised his sword, poised for the final strike. He looked down at the massive serpent, its fiery eyes glaring up at him, still defiant in its last moments. And then, Kai spoke the words, solemn and filled with a quiet respect.
"Nola, Master of the Sky, thou art a fine opponent," he declared, his voice carrying the weight of battle-earned respect. But all things must fall, and thy time has come."
With a swift motion, Kai brought his sword down, aiming for the final strike to end the serpent's life. But just before his blade could connect with the serpent's head, a sudden blast of raw energy struck his sword with immense force. The impact sent the Cleanrot Sword flying from his grasp, the blade skittering across the clouded ground and coming to a stop several meters away.
Kai staggered back slightly from the unexpected force, his eyes narrowing as he quickly assessed the situation. His focus shifted from the defeated serpent to the direction of the blast. A heavy silence followed, broken only by the distant sound of crackling energy.
