Chapter 23: Five Giant Serpents
Alvaric stood holding the Crimson Sworn Demon in his left hand and Vapper's Dagger in his right. He was ready to fight. However, when he faced toward where the giant serpents were, he was shocked to see five huge snakes moving toward him and Niva.
He swallowed hard. "Are we going to fight?"
"Isn't that what you said earlier, Master?"
"Hehe." Alvaric laughed awkwardly. He took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I've decided."
He raised his sword. At that moment, a moon appeared in the ceiling of the place, casting a red light around them. It was the skill from Crimson Sworn Demon. It consumed all of the user's Mana. Of course, Alvaric's Mana was immediately depleted. He didn't have much Mana to begin with. So, it wasn't much of a loss.

Alvaric glanced at Niva. He nodded at her. Niva was still amazed by the magic her master had unleashed, but she didn't have much time to admire it. In front of her were five giant serpents. If she made a mistake or got careless, she could die there.
"I'm ready, Master," Niva said determinedly.
Alvaric nodded once more. They both immediately ran toward the five giant serpents. Their movements were agile. They ran in two different directions. The five giant serpents chased them separately. They kept running while searching for an opening to attack.
One of the snakes opened its mouth and, a second later, spat a fireball. Alvaric was surprised, but he managed to slash the fireball with his sword. Then, he ran toward the back of one of the giant serpents. The serpent turned around but unaware of Vapper's Dagger thrown from an unseen angle.
"I thought you guys were like Giant Sandworms. Turns out you have no brains," Alvaric taunted.
