Chapter 18: Ch 18 - Trial of Endurance (7)

Saliva drooled from the edges of her snake-like jaw, and fangs while countless sparks arose as her jaws forcefully pushed their way through the protective shield of an unknown aura.
She narrowed her eyes and furrowed her brows as a clear expression of discomfort had taken over her face.
"A-ARGH!"
Hoarse and guttural screeches filled the air with a thick metallic stench that emanated from the corners of the muscles of her mouth, slowly melting away with the heat of little embers.
Although, the woman kept on pushing her jaw persistently forward. Under her persistent efforts and the overwhelming pressure of her jaws, small cracks started to spiderweb around the tips of her fangs.
The protective shield protecting Kai’s consciousness had already reached its limit, as any more pressure would cause it to shatter.
"...hahahaha...ha..."
Realizing her victory was near her grasp, she couldn’t help but giggle while gathering all of her strength for a single push that would let the victory fall to her feet.
The cracks deepened, forming jagged visible lines upon the glass-like surface of a glowing aura.
Soon, her persistent jaw brought good news, as her fangs had breached the aura.
Two of her large fangs had made a hole through its protective shield and trembled inside as she gave it her all to push even further.
