Clone Of The Great Serpent(Part-2)
"He's not going to move again," Apollo muttered, noticing that the Great Serpent was only watching him, its tail swaying despite clearly being at a disadvantage.
Is this his way of looking down on me? Apollo thought, shaking his head. He had to defeat the serpent; he realized there was no leaving this place otherwise.
Taking a couple of deep breaths, he activated his True Hardening Technique, one of the abilities he'd learned during the second round of the previous Advancement Examination.
At the same time, he focused intently on every detail of his opponent.
"I just have to react in time," Apollo thought. He had seen it—he could injure the Great Serpent with his Simple Wind Sword Technique. Although he hadn't managed to cut through the fist entirely, it was a good sign. He had something that could threaten the creature, but he had to worry about the serpent's swift, almost unavoidable attacks. Fortunately, the attacks weren't fatal in one blow.
