Chapter 65: Reborn
A three-meter-long snake, covered in colorful scales, suddenly appeared in front of Darian. Its tail ended in a rattle that shook over and over again, letting out a terrifying sound that echoed through the cave.
A chill ran down Darian's spine as the snake let out a threatening hiss. Its eyes glowed with a fierce light, locked onto him. The massive creature was in attack position, ready to strike.
'Wasn't this place supposed to be safe from death?! Why the hell is that feeling so questionable right now?!' Darian thought, stunned.
With a sudden lunge, the creature went for him.
*CRACK!*
On instinct, Darian activated the ring's power and jumped to the side. The attack missed him by inches, smashing into the cave wall.
He rolled across the floor and got to his feet, realizing the cave was still intact — this really was a combat arena.
The only way to get the reward was to defeat the opponent. But how the hell was a rookie supposed to win?
The snake hissed again, and suddenly a light glowed across its body — it came from the scales covering it. A fiercer aura surged out of it.
'Shit...'
Darian swallowed hard. According to the instructions, all rookies should at least be able to fight and get the Seven Elemental Stars Physique. He couldn't keep running. He clenched his fists and pushed the ring's power to the limit.
