Chapter 57 The Silver Serpent, Final Struggle

Arthur was knocked off his feet, his health bar flashing as he took the brunt of the impact.

-20HP

"Damn it!" he grunted, pushing himself up. "This thing isn't going down easy."

[Health Points:] 70/90

The serpent lashed out with its massive tail, aiming for Borak, who was still limping from the earlier attack.

"Borak, dodge!" Arthur yelled, but the serpent's speed was too great. The tail struck the boar squarely in the side.

-30HP

Borak let out a pained snort but retaliated immediately, charging forward and ramming his tusks into the serpent's coiled body.

The serpent hissed as Borak's attack struck true, its health dipping slightly.

-20HP

"Sunless, flank it from the left! Hank, keep going for its eyes!" Arthur commanded, his voice steady despite the chaos.

Sunless leapt forward, clawing at the serpent's side, leaving deep gashes along its scales. Hank, meanwhile, dove down with precision, his talons aiming for the serpent's other eye. The serpent thrashed wildly, narrowly dodging Hank's attack, but Sunless landed another blow.

-15HP

The serpent's health dropped further, but it seemed angrier than ever.

Roar

It let out a deafening roar, its massive body whipping around to strike Sunless.

"Watch out!" Arthur shouted, but Sunless wasn't fast enough.

-25HP

Sunless stumbled back but held its ground, its skeletal frame still moving with deadly intent.

Arthur circled around, looking for an opening. "Come on, there's got to be a weak spot..." he muttered.

"This thing only has 60% of it's Health remaining,"

The serpent raised its head high, its silver eyes glowing ominously. Arthur's instincts screamed at him.

"It's charging something! Fall back, everyone!" he shouted.

The serpent suddenly slammed its body into the ground, creating another shockwave. Arthur jumped back, but the tremor knocked him off balance.

-10HP

[Health Points:] 60/90

"Damn it, that thing hits like a truck," Arthur groaned, scrambling to his feet.

With no time to think, Arthur activated his new skill. "Shadow Bind!" he shouted, extending his hand toward the serpent.

The cave seemed to darken as shadows surged from the ground, wrapping around the serpent's massive body. The creature thrashed violently, but the shadows held firm, immobilizing it just inches away from Sunless.

The serpent hissed furiously, its silver eyes glowing with rage, but it couldn't move.

Arthur stood there, breathing heavily, his hand still extended. "This is it. Finish it off!" he commanded his summons.

Borak charged forward, tusks aimed at the serpent's exposed side, while Sunless clawed relentlessly at its neck. Hank dove down one final time, aiming for its head.

The serpent's health bar dropped rapidly, its movements growing weaker with each strike. Arthur put most of his mana into Shadow Bind as he prepared for the final blow. Find your next read on empire

Arthur dashed, trying to finish the serpent as it was held by the Shadow Bind skill.

"Everyone, attack now!" Arthur shouted, raising his dagger high and aiming for the serpent's skull.

Just as he was about to plunge it into the beast, the shadows binding the creature shattered like glass.

The serpent hissed violently, its immense body coiling tightly as it snapped free from the spell.

"Shit! The time ran out!" Arthur cursed, stumbling backwards. "I didn't expect the difference in strength between us to be so damn big! I only got 1 second worth of crowd control."

In a blur of motion, the serpent lashed out with its tail. Arthur had no time to dodge.

-40HP

[Health Points: 20/90]

The tail struck Arthur like a battering ram, sending him flying into the cave wall with a sickening crash.

He groaned loudly, clutching his ribs as he slid to the ground. Blood trickled from his mouth, and his vision blurred for a few seconds.

"Damn it," Arthur muttered, forcing himself onto one knee. With shaking hands, he pulled a health potion from his inventory and downed it in one gulp.

"Sunless! Borak! Cover me!" Arthur shouted hoarsely. He pulled out a mana potion next, drinking it hastily. The cool sensation of mana returning to his body was comforting.

"Get back in the fight!" Arthur barked, as his summons surged forward.

Sunless leapt into action, his claws slashing at the serpent's body with terrifying strength. Borak charged from the side, ramming into the creature's coiled tail with all his might. Hank swooped from above, targeting the serpent's one remaining eye.

The serpent roared in fury, its scales shimmering ominously. It whipped its head around, narrowly missing Borak with a venomous bite.

The boar grunted, backing away just in time.

Arthur grimaced. "We're barely hanging on here..."

The serpent's scales began to glow brighter, its body radiating an almost blinding light. Arthur's heart reached his throat as he realized what was happening.

"Shit! Shit! It's evolving now!" he shouted. "We're out of time! Everyone, get into it's close proximity!"

As Arthur, Borak, Sunless, and Hank closed in on the Silver Serpent, the glow became so bright that they felt like they were staring at the sun.

"Damn it! We are so close!" He muttered as he stared at his mana reseveres which were just above the halfway.
