Chapter 282: The Venom King
"Such strong resistance... interesting... but not necessary. I am merely curious. I do not mean you any harm. You are my successor after all."
Damon was panting. He could barely focus on what the snake was talking to him. The two eyes were still staring down at him with a pressure that completely suppressed him.
In front of such a being even his aura that contained a hint of the primordial bloodline was no use at all. The creature was above it all.
Damon did not care. Whatever it was, he wasn’t about to go down without a fight. He was... His thoughts abruptly ceased as the snake in front of him all of a sudden opened its huge maw, revealing its many rows of teeth.
It then without hesitation lunged forward and snapped its jaws close, taking Damon’s head right along with it. Or atleast that’s what it felt like. Damon snapped out of it as he realized he was still whole and fine. But it was not over just yet.
The next moment an inexplicable surge of energy welled up within him. It was not mana. No. It wasn’t blood energy. In fact, it wasn’t anything he was familiar with at all. It was...
Damon went into a trance as he felt something tug at his very core. The new energy that invaded his body finally reached the farthest part of himself. A wisp of something fickle came into the spotlight.
The energy immediately dove into it. Almost immediately, the fickle little thing started burning brightly like a fire catching a drop of divine oil, wild, uncontrollable and alive.
Damon’s body arched involuntarily as his consciousness was yanked inward. He wasn’t in the temple anymore. He stood now in a boundless obsidian void, and at its center floated a translucent serpent, colossal and coiled.
"What are you, you little brat?" The snake turned its gaze upon him. "Heh. I paid a heavy price to stand in front of you like this and you still won’t reveal me your secrets? Bah! What a stingy little blood drinker!"
