Feeling the intensity of the serpent's gaze, the Lords who had been in slumber woke up in a flash.
Only for their heartbeats to quicken, sweat building up across their bodies as they realized the situation they were in.
Stillness spread, neither party willing to risk making the first move.
'You think the deer screwed us over by bringing us here?' Devil used the telepathic connection he shared with Michael to speak.
'Out of the question.' Michael denied the possibility. 'No one, not even Gloria, sensed any kind of ill intent. The deer either did not know that the serpent was here or assumed that it would not do us any harm.'
Quite the situation. From what they had observed, the serpent moved faster than they perceived and wielded lethal power.
Had they ambushed the creature, victory might have been possible. However, now if a clash were to break out, at best half of them would die before killing the serpent.
At worst, all of them would perish, unable to retaliate.
