The colorful snake rushed toward Puff with a scream, but Puff acted quickly and managed to jump away in time to save his life.

Grahhh!

Landing away from the snake, Puff roared at it, but with a much louder and more dominant roar from the snake, Puff fell silent and turned to run.

But the snake hurriedly moved with its slithering motion and arrived in front of Puff, who was running, surrounding him with its long body.

Kreek!

Puff screamed in pain as the large and long body of the snake wrapped around him and tightened. Puff struggled to get free, but the snake felt like an unmovable boulder to him.

The snake looked down toward Puff and opened its mouth wide to swallow him. Puff gazed at the sight of the snake, a drop of saliva falling onto his face from the snake's mouth as it came closer.

Puff's resistance intensified, and he struggled with all his might to break free from the snake's grip.

And then, suddenly, his eyes glowed, and throughout his body, golden rays of light spread and...

Boom!

A blast of energy was released from his body, pushing the snake away from Puff with the force of the blast. On Puff's skin, a mark of thunder appeared, glowing in a golden color.

Standing up on his paws again, Puff looked at the snake, which was already running toward him.

After the energy blast, Puff's body felt a bit weak, and he knew the reason for it: the energy blast consumed the energy of the things he had eaten, stored inside him.

Shhhh!

Getting closer to Puff, the snake lunged forward, biting toward him. Puff jumped aside, his body glowing again with a golden aura. He rushed forward to the snake, and getting closer, he caused another energy blast that sent the snake flying a bit away from him.

Gruuk!

Puff's stomach rumbled as he ran out of all the stored energy. The weakness that he only felt in his paws before now spread throughout his entire body, and he struggled to even stand on his paws.

Shhh!

The snake screeched toward Puff from afar as it stabilized its body and lifted its head. In the next moment, its body began to glow, and from its glowing skin, a thin, poisonous air began to spurt into the outside world.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Cizz!

The grass around the snake slowly died from being exposed to the poison.

A wind blew through the area, and the poison emitting from the snake's body mixed into the wind and spread around.

Sniff!

To Puff, who was breathing heavily, the air suddenly felt teasingly strange at the tip of his nose. In the next moment, he felt all his strength disappear, and he lay flat on the ground.

The snake observed the way Puff lay on the ground like a dead man and crawled toward him slowly.

The snake knew it was victorious, and there was no need for rush.

Thump.

Suddenly, from the top of a rock, the snake felt a movement and looked up to see another frost maker jumping toward it through the air.

Graawwl!

Shhh!

The father landed on the snake and began to bite onto it, pushing it around. The snake struggled and moved violently, shaking the father around and trying to bite him.

Even though the air around the snake was poisoned, the father seemed to have no effect from it. He rushed forward with determined violence and bit the body of the snake.

But the snake's scales, which were colorful and hard, resisted the force of the father's teeth and, with a swift swing of its tail, pushed the father away.

Landing a bit away from the snake, the father growled and tried to rush back toward it, but hesitated, taking a step backward, he suddenly stopped.

Huff!

He exhaled heavily, visible veins appearing through his eyes as the poison of the snake began to overpower him.

The father felt weak on his knees and struggled to stand again.

Shh!

The snake gazed toward the father with its fiery eyes. It waited until the father was completely overpowered by the poison and fell to the ground. When his movements became weaker, the snake rushed toward the father with its mouth open, intending to swallow him in one bite.

Swish!

Suddenly, in the snake's path, a pillar of ice surged up between it and the father.

The snake became spooked and backed away cautiously.

Swish!

From another direction, the snake felt a sudden movement. As it gazed, it met with another spiral of ice rushing toward it.

Shhh!

Screaming, the snake rushed away from the ice spike. In the direction the ice spike came from, the snake saw another frost maker, whose skin was akin to ashes and bluish water.

The father creature, weakened by the poison, was still laying on the ground with his weakened body. But at that moment, his turtle shell-like marks on his body began to glow, and from his body, a colorful smoke rose up. As the smoke rose, the veins that had appeared in the father's eyes slowly vanished, and he regained his vitality.

Graa!

With a growl, the father stood up again. Feeling the movement, the snake saw the father slowly standing up and had a confused expression, struggling to understand how he had gotten rid of the poison.

Taking a step forward, the father rushed toward the snake. At the same time, Nixie blasted another beam of ice from her mouth toward the snake.

The father, who was extremely close to the snake, suddenly backed away in inches as the spike of ice from Nixie landed in his path toward the snake.

Clank!

Some frost adhered to the body of the snake. Moving violently, the snake broke out from the frost and moved back from the two of them. It gazed at them with its fierce eyes, showing extreme anger. But at that moment, its eyes landed on Puff, who was lying in the field of grass.

Suddenly, the snake rushed toward Puff and grabbed him. The father acted quickly and ran behind the snake, but the snake's movement was faster than the father's, and it rushed toward a nearby bush.
