Battle With The Serpent-Like Beast

Miguel looked around as he heard the rumble. 

His senses suddenly screamed danger as his body phased into his own shadow before it appeared a few meters away from his previous location. 

Without even knowing where the danger was coming, Miguel used [Shadow Steps] without hesitation, appearing on a tree's shadow a few meters away. 

At the next moment, the ground where he previously burrowed was suddenly split open. 

Pebbles and ground flew everywhere as a serpent-like creature emerged from beneath with its terrifying jaw wide open, gnawing through the rocks easily as though they were fragile glass. 

The serpent-like creature fully emerged from beneath the earth. It looked around and hissed frustratingly at Miguel upon realizing that it had completely missed its prey.
