The serpent had reached him in a heartbeat.
Verso's eyes narrowed he focused entirely on tracking the movement of the mangled, blood mouth of the serpent. With its lower jaw gone and the upper bones broken, the path was clear.
'I need to get to the brain and finish it off in an instant.'
He tightened his grip on the cold handle of the Dark Scythe, waiting for the exact microsecond that he could dodge without the beast turning towards him.
Just as the serpent's face was about to collide with him, Verso burned his final bit of mana to push his body forward using Water Manipulation.
He moved like a ghost through the water as he dodged the lunge by a hair's breadth.
The serpent overshot him, crashing violently into the stone floor of the ruins.
The impact of the crash was so violent that it sent a heavy vibration through the water and completely stunned the Sea Serpent for a brief moment.
Verso didn't waste his chance and acted on the opening.
