Race Against Time

«30..29.5...»

"Are you kidding me?" I complained. "Stop counting!"

«Don't say I didn't warn you.» Sensei chuckled.

How could I have so little time left?

I initially planned to escape as soon as I could, but I ended up getting distracted. 

I looked at the serpent that was decimated from my previous attack. Even though its body was now riddled with so many bruises and scrapes, it was still trying to get up and attack me.

Somehow, that pissed me off even more. 

Would I have to destroy them completely to kill them?

My darkness blast had torn through much of its midsection, leaving behind a nasty gaping wound, along with the culmination of my previous attacks. 

Any normal creature would have died long ago.
