Struggle [4]
A single flap of his wings had the same effect as teleportation. He reached the snake's head in an instant.
Red runes congregated on his arms and coalesced into strange patterns, exponentially increasing his strength.
And before the snake could react, his arm shot forward and punctured its eye:
Kyaaaak!
A screech was emitted from the snake's mouth. If previously, it was simply toying with him, it was now genuinely angry.
With its mouth already gaping from its scream, a blast of murky green liquid sprayed from its throat and covered Damien, who was too close to dodge.
The liquid corroded his scales and tried to get through his defenses, but the runes on his body changed shape and caused his scales to become harder than diamonds.
