Hiding is Futile
Now, Ethan found himself rather exasperated facing an opponent like this.
Initially, he had hoped for a satisfying and straightforward fight.
However, it was evident that the Unicorn Venomous Serpent was quite apprehensive and unwilling to engage in a direct, head-on confrontation with Ethan.
Instead, it had chosen to retreat to a safe distance, opting not to attack.
Such an adversary was not to Ethan's liking.
He was straightforward by nature, and when it came to combat, Ethan believed in facing his opponents head-on with full force.
Dealing with an opponent that seemed to shrink from confrontation was uninspiring.
Moreover, Ethan wanted to rest sooner to continue his journey early the next day, without wasting too much time contending with this cautious Unicorn Venomous Serpent.
So, seeing the serpent constantly evading and unwilling to get close for a confrontation, Ethan felt somewhat helpless.
