Alex looked at the girls for an instant before vanishing, and when he reappeared again, he was in the sky descending toward the Phantom Snake; Isabella was surprised she almost shouted to ask if Alex could fly, only Artemia and the Phantom Snake were able to see what happened. Alex accelerated for a moment before using a tree as a stepping stone to jump high in the sky; everything happened in an instant.
Just as the Phantom Snake was about to spit his poison at the foolish human that thinks he could challenge him, the monster stopped, the Phantom Snake was confused, his body became lighter all of a sudden, by the time he realized what was happening to him, the Phantom Snake found himself in the air, at the same place that human used to be. If the Phantom Snake could make a human's expression, he would have put on a surprised expression; unfortunately he couldn't.
Alex, who used Shadow Shift on the Phantom Snake, aimed at the floating snake and fired.
BANG!
