Betrayal
While being forced to step back, Jason instinctively unholstered his Five-SeveN, but his eyes didn't leave the Wind crystal horned python for a single moment.
Using most of its mana to create a compressed gust of wind, the python sent it towards the arrow, whose trajectory was slightly averted, causing it to lodge itself into the python´s long body.

None of them had expected the wind crystal-horned python´s reflexes to be so fast as it instinctively saved its life, even though it had to use up most of its mana.
But even without mana, its physique alone was terrifying enough to threaten them, while the red crystal horned python noticed its companion getting ambushed, which caused it to spew a bunch of fireballs towards the small group of humans.
