My Angel system

Chapter 122 One More!

One of the creatures which people were careful about were snakes and the reason was because of the deadly venom which they injected into one's system with just a single bite.

The most venomous snake was the cobra, with venom known to kill humans in less than fifteen minutes after the venom had been injected into the person's system.

Right now Jude was about to face the most venomous snake and this wasn't just any snake, it was a hybrid beast and that makes it more deadly than the ordinary cobra.

The young knight kept staring at the large black cobra as he tried to figure out its hybrid feature but he couldn't find any.

The cobra had spotted its prey now and didn't waste time getting to him, Jude gulped as the shadow of the cobra covered him.

He slowly looked up to see that the cobra had its eye on him.

The snake didn't waste time to strike towards him as it wanted to swallow the knight in one go, but Jude was lucky to have rolled out of there just in the nick of time as the cobra struck the wall instead and had its mouth stuck there now.

With the snake struggling to pull its mouth out of the wall, Jude rushed to the closest part of its soft body and slashed at it with his sword but what he expected wasn't the outcome at all as a thud sound was heard after his strike.

Now he knew where the snake's hybrid feature was, its skin was as hard as a rock, and his sword didn't even make a dent in its body.

The snake pulled its head out of the wall and immediately attacked him again but before it could hit the young knight he stabbed his sword into the ground and did a backflip, causing the snake to miss him by a fraction.

With the snake's head still passing in front of him, Jude landed, quickly pulled out his sword from the ground, and struck it on the snake's head but again, it was met with a thud sound.

"That's the best display he's shown since all his fights," Tuchel commented from where he was sitting with his sister.

Tauriel didn't reply to his comment as she had a lot of thoughts running through her mind.

'If he gets bitten by that cobra he's gone.' Tauriel thought, her heart was beating rapidly as she watched the fight.

Jude was aware that striking the snake's body was going to be useless, which was why he had aimed for its eye but he had missed as his sword landed just beside the cobra's eye.

The snake swung its tail at him in a horizontal slash which he couldn't avoid and ended up getting knocked backward, his sword had also been knocked out of his hand in the process.

He tried to pull the string on his sword as he felt his sword leaving his hand but when he tried to do so, he couldn't find anything.

"That bastard took the string off my sword." Jude groaned as he tried to get up.

"You can't use your tricks in this one." The king laughed as he lifted the long, colorless string with his fingers.

The snake was slowly approaching him now as he dragged himself across the floor.

"Just a bite from that thing and I'm done." He muttered as the long shadow covered him.

It seemed like the snake wanted to enjoy his few hours of misery before finishing him off as it was yet to attack.

Just then Jude heard a voice in his head. 'Every reptile has a weak spot.'

"Every reptile has a weak spot." He muttered as he looked at the white bottom parts of the cobra which was raised now.

The cobra noticed that he was looking at it now and that was when it decided to strike, but with his last strength the young knight rolled forward allowing the cobra to strike nothing but the hard floor.

The young knight had immediately gotten to work as he pulled out his dagger and with enough force stabbed it into the cobra's throat which was nowhere close to the hardness of its upper body.

The snake's reaction was one of aggression as this was the first time it was getting hurt since the beginning of this fight.

The snake turned to him but the young knight didn't back down as he pulled his dagger deeper into the snake's throat, it was only a matter of time before the effects of the poison began.

The snake slammed its head due to the pain and quickly brought it up aiming for the knight but before it could hit him, the knight pulled out the dagger from its throat and stabbed it into the cobra's mouth from under.

The next action from the cobra was desperate as its tail came from behind to knock the young knight away.

"Arghhhh!" Jude groaned as he got his face off the ground and turned towards the snake which seemed to be crazily dancing on the same spot with the dagger still stuck in its mouth.

'What type of poison was on that dagger.' Jude thought, thanking his stars, that he had really taken Tauriel's advice seriously.

After a series of twists and turns, the snake finally fell to the floor never to get up again.

Murmurs between the elf audience began after they watched the beast drop to the floor.

"Who is this human? And how is he still alive?"

"That was definitely poison."

"Who cares poisons are also considered as useful assets for battles and given that the cobra has the most poisonous venom of a snake, it was a fair fight."

"Enough!!" The king's voice was amplified in the arena with the sound of him hitting his staff on the floor.

"Since our human friend here seems to show promise in taking out hybrid beasts. Why don't we give him one more for today."

There were murmurs among the elves as a greater number of them screamed. "Yes, give him one more!"

"As you wish."

Another iron gate dropped to the floor and without wasting time a creature rushed out from there. It was a crocodile with the legs of a horse.

It didn't take it long to sight Jude on the floor and it immediately came running to him with its mouth wide open.

"All I wanted was to find my little sister and now this is how it's going to end for me," Jude said as he pulled his body to rest against the wall. "I just hope you are okay wherever you are Tania."

The beast was getting close now and Jude knew there was no way he could fight off the fast beast or escape, it was impossible considering how exhausted he was.

As the beast got close he slowly began to close his eyes to accept his fate but before he could completely shut his eyes he caught something.

Three arrows coming in from the arena stands, all the arrows were on target, piercing through the beast's head and causing it to immediately fall to the ground without any form of resistance.

"Tauriel," Jude said as he looked at the person who had her bow stretched towards the beast like she just released the arrows.

There were loud gasps in the arena as every elf in the arena turned to her.
