"Theo had his whole body stiff; he was holding the sword with both his hands so tight that it was almost an extension of his body.
The blade of the sword hit the viper right at the upper face, and before Theo could even think about anything, he was up in the air already.
The sword being so tightly held made it impossible for the viper to get to his body in order to puncture it with its long fangs.
But it also made all the force push Theo from one corner of the clearing to another.
"Young master!" Clara shouted with a pale expression. The boar and pup went toward the viper right away.
Within seconds, Theo fell to the forest's ground again, and his shoulder banged against the trunk of a tree.
"KUGHHH…"
Intense pain erupted in his left shoulder, and Theo grabbed it. He looked for his sword only to see it was a meter away from him.
He looked at the front only to see the viper look in all directions with frantic eyes.
