Chapter 64 Dark Snake

As the man's anger continued to grow, The woman noticed a dark, swirling energy emanating from his hands. She felt her heart race when she realized what was happening: the man was summoning his beast, the Dark Snake.

The air around them grew cold and heavy as the ground beneath them began to crack, revealing a massive, shadowy serpent. Its scales were an inky black, reflecting an eerie sheen in the dim light of the alley. The Dark Snake's red eyes glowed menacingly, and it hissed, baring its venomous fangs, ready to strike.

Orion was not afraid at all at the sight of the Dark Snake. He had faced a more formidable beast than this Dark Snake. Orion, who was undeterred by the Dark Snake, began to focus his eyes to see the information of the Dark Snake.

Orion looked at the information and saw that this Dark Snake was only a spirit beast, and the power level was also B. Orion then realized that this would be a good warm-up battle for Nebula. Nebula, who was Serenity Forest Deer, appeared beside Orion.

The atmosphere in the forest alley changed the moment Nebula, the Serenity Forest Deer, appeared beside Orion. The air seemed to fill with the scent of fresh leaves and the sound of rustling branches.

As the two spirit beasts faced each other, the contrast between them was stark. The Dark Snake, with its menacing, glowing red eyes and inky black scales, seemed to exude an aura of malice and darkness. Nebula, on the other hand, radiated a sense of serenity and tranquility, with its soft green fur and antlers adorned with vines and flowers.

The battle commenced with the Dark Snake lunging at Nebula, attempting to use its Shadow Strike to catch the deer off guard. However, Nebula's keen senses allowed it to anticipate the attack, nimbly dodging the snake's swift movement. The Serenity Forest Deer retaliated by summoning sharp, blade-like leaves with its Leaf Blade ability, sending them flying toward the Dark Snake. The snake hissed and recoiled as the leaves struck its scales, leaving shallow cuts.

The Dark Snake, now enraged, unleashed its Shadow Binding ability, attempting to immobilize Nebula by manipulating the shadows around it. But Nebula countered with Nature's Fury, summoning powerful storms of wind, vines, and branches that disrupted the snake's shadow manipulation and entangled it in a web of vines.

Realizing that it was at a disadvantage, the Dark Snake tried to use its Regeneration ability to heal itself by absorbing the darkness around it. However, Nebula's Wood Healing and purifying abilities prevented the snake from regenerating fully, as the deer's healing light neutralized the darkness.

The Dark Snake's tamer, growing increasingly frustrated by the turn of events, shouted at his spirit beast, "Use your Shadow Possession! Take control of that deer and end this battle!"

The Dark Snake, obeying its tamer's command, focused its energy on Nebula's shadow, attempting to possess it and force the Serenity Forest Deer to do its bidding. Orion, however, was prepared for such a tactic.

"Stay strong, Nebula," Orion encouraged his spirit beast. "Use your connection to nature to resist the Shadow Possession. Channel the power of the Wood Attribute to purify the darkness and protect yourself!"

Nebula, hearing Orion's words, drew upon the strength of the Wood Attribute, allowing it to purify the shadows and resist the Dark Snake's possession attempt. The deer's body glowed with a gentle, healing light, further reinforcing its resistance to the snake's dark influence.

As the battle continued, it became apparent that Nebula was losing ground against the Dark Snake's Shadow Possession. Orion fell silent, watching with a mixture of worry and determination as his spirit beast struggled. The Dark Snake's tamer, sensing victory, taunted Orion.

"See? I told you that you don't stand a chance! Your precious deer is losing, and there's nothing you can do about it!"

However, even as the Dark Snake's tamer gloated, Orion maintained his calm and focused demeanor. Unbeknownst to his opponent, Orion had a plan that he believed could turn the tide of the battle.

"You may think you've won," Orion finally spoke, his voice steady and confident, "but you've underestimated the bond between Nebula and me, as well as the true power of the Wood Attribute."

The Dark Snake's tamer scoffed, "Oh, really? And what exactly is your brilliant plan?"

Orion glared and smiled at the Dark Snake's tamer, "You will see."
