The Second Trial

BOOOOM!

Finally, the entire thing collapsed, sending shockwaves through the air. 

The force of the impact reverberated like the detonation of an old building structure deliberately brought down by explosives. 

When the dust settled, Reign squinted through the haze and saw another snake emerging from the wreckage. 

This one was much smaller—only about 50 feet long—and had a glossy appearance that shimmered under the light.

Its scales sparkled like polished jewels, reflecting hints of white and gold as it coiled itself cautiously, observing its surroundings. 

"Who is that evil monarch? How can someone be that strong?" the white serpent hissed, its voice trembling with a mix of confusion and fear. 

"What happened to you?" Reign asked.

"I used most of my power to validate your words, and even that wasn't enough. I had to stop, or I would have exhausted myself to death."
