After escaping that hallucination of Jessica... Six pairs of eyes appeared in front of him.
Giant cobras, monsters powerful enough to rival B+ rank warriors, perfectly adapted to this forest environment. And there were six of them.
The first cobra attacked. Its head sliced through the air with stunning speed, fangs extended, and Kaiser barely dodged by diving to the side. He felt the reptile's breath brush against his cheek, then he rolled across the ground to get back up.
Second attack, this time from his right. He couldn't dodge it completely; the cobra's head struck his left shoulder.
"Fuck!"
The impact threw him against the trunk of a tree, and he felt his scars reopening under his clothes, warm blood soaking his tunic.
"Shit," he muttered as he got back up, his legs trembling under his weight.
He immediately understood that he couldn't fight them with brute force. His body was still too fragile.
