Chapter 76: Dark Grip
After another moment of locking eyes, the Firevenom Viper’s tail ignited, slightly boosting its movement speed as it slithered across the ground, leaving burnt weeds in its wake.
It then lunged at Liora, a notch faster than before.
This caught the duo slightly off-guard, but it was nothing Hal couldn’t respond to, especially with a massive Spirit Bear under his control.
He willed his summon to smash at the ground a few meters in front of Liora.
With this move, the smoldering viper could either choose to get smacked from above or halt its advance.
But to the duo’s horror, the snake zigzagged mid-air, dodging the bear’s paws by using the flames in its tail, turning them on and off to control its lunge trajectory.
Hal’s heart skipped a beat when his summon’s paw was dodged.
"Lior–"
However, before he could even warn his comrade, the white-haired maiden turned into a blur of light, dashing right next to him.
It wasn’t only Hal who had repositioning spells.
Liora’s evasive maneuver sent the Firevenom Viper crashing to the ground a few dozen meters away, though it wasted no time and immediately turned, firing flaming quills before slithering toward them again.
