The serpent grew even more furious. Rage surged through it as it shouted, "You insolent fool! I’ll make you pay with your life!"

With a thunderous roar, the serpent charged forward, lashing out like a weapon aimed straight at Adrian.

Adrian met the attack with icy resolve. "Not bad," he remarked coldly, "but it seems you’re still underestimating me."

Without hesitation, Adrian countered with a devastating punch. Caught off guard by this overwhelming power, the serpent felt a flicker of fear.
