Chapter 463: Drone reconnaissance
Kobra waited to see one of the traps he set up earlier to clamp down hard onto Michael’s feet and drag him down into the depths of this Sanctum.
He listened for Michael’s footsteps, which kept on going further and further away from him.
But no matter how far he got, his quicksoils never activated!
Kobra climbed up the tallest rock formation and looked over the entire battlefield from above. There, he saw Michael expertly dodge away from his quicksoils as if he knew where they were!
"You even know where they are?!"
His exasperated voice came from his very soul. The boy that he had underestimated this entire time turned out to be one step ahead of him this entire time! It was humiliating and infuriating at the same time.
Michael’s strange powers and that strange flying metal he had with him gave Kobra a foreboding sense of defeat. But he consoled himself with the fact that Michael was running away from him.
"That light attack you have...you can only use it once, am I right? Or else you wouldn’t have escaped from me!"
Kobra took this as a sign of weakness. Michael had to run away because he was in trouble if he fought Kobra close-up.
"I’ll catch you!" Kobra shouted as he jumped down the giant rock face and started chasing Michael through the maze of the battlefield. Since this was his design, he easily maneuvered through shortcuts and turns easily. Still, he found himself unable to catch up to Michael since the boy could move through the maze as well as him.
Then finally, Michael stopped in place. He jumped up to a rock and faced Kobra from a distance.
