The small villain was taken aback as his python thrashed wildly, causing havoc among the trees. The snake convulsed and eventually met its demise.
Helena proved to be ferocious indeed. The little man hadn't expected her to go to such lengths to save Ethan.
"You! Damn witch!" he growled. "I should have killed you earlier!"
Helena struggled to stand on her trembling legs. Slowly, her strength returned. She picked up her sword and pointed it at her opponent once again. "Don't you dare touch my husband, you fool!"
The little man burst into laughter. "I don't know why I had to capture this man. But I hope I didn't make a mistake. Why him? He's just a man protected by a woman! Hahaha."
Helena grimaced. She knew she couldn't defeat the sorcerer in front of her with her less-than-optimal physical condition. But she understood that the sorcerer was merely a snake handler. She had no other magic at her disposal.
