Yet just as it spun around, it suddenly caught sight of a pair of cold, merciless eyes—eyes that blazed like twin golden suns, too radiant and intense to gaze upon directly—locking onto its fleeing figure.
Under the terrifying focus of that gaze, Black Viper's entire body stiffened. Its scales bristled and stood on end like those of a hedgehog startled out of its wits. Dense, choking poison mist, thick as plumes of black wolf smoke, erupted from its body and surged frantically toward those twin suns.
Yet the deadly venom, containing Black Viper's very life essence, didn't even have the chance to spread. The instant it came into contact with the golden radiance, it evaporated completely, vanishing into nothingness. Then, like countless spears forged from pure light, the golden beams pierced through Black Viper's body, sending bright crimson blood spraying into the air.
