The serpent flew through the air in a way that seemed almost impossible for something that had no limbs to lunge off of, yet the proof was soaring right towards me at a rather insane speed; fangs bared, venom dripping down onto the ground, eyes gleaming with a soon to be sated bloodlust...
Having one hand on the back of Evander's collar and the other gripping my large and slightly heavy weapon, I had a tough choice to make since there were more serpents slithering free from the various nests nearby.
I could either release my comrade - which would give me the ability to deflect this attack whilst placing him in danger - or I could make a swift and rather clumsy attempt at deflecting this attack anyways...
