("Ah... This is not the time to think about that. This monster is much stronger than expected. The diversion of my living clone certainly wouldn't work anymore because of it. If I want to get out of this alive, I must seriously injure Galen to force him to keep this cursed snake near him while I escape. Ouuuugh! He didn't miss me with that attack. I would have been done for without the life pearl.")
