Arad had climbed the tree to catch the massive snake that was rapidly slithering downward toward their hideout. But calling that thing a snake was an understatement. It was far larger than the snake Darkness killed in the Storm Titans' mountain, and it was far more powerful, faster, and had a deadlier venom.
As Arad flew at it, the first thing he saw was the snake's tail jolting toward him like a whip, crackling past the sound barrier with ease as it accelerated even further, its target his skull.
Arad swung his arm at the tail and swatted it away, feeling the bones in his wrist rattle. If this thing were a bit stronger, it might've cracked his bones. As snakes go, this serpent thing must have been feeding on the Terror birds and the other monsters of the world tree to grow this large.
