Chapter 3
Fasina the Crimson Firesnake
The snake’s strength was no joke. Wang Tian Gu managed to dodge most of its attacks, but it was relentless. Its speed was not that dangerous but the combination of its weight and speed was deadly.
She dodged and rolled as it slithered its way around, pecking at her with great speed.
“Hah!” She finally found a gap in its defense and slashed with the sword in her hand, but the scales were too tough. The sword broke and she had to throw it away. Just as Fasina began moving its head, a fireball hit its head. It caused no damage, but it made it angrier.
“Fire…ball.” Its voice grew softer and weaker now.
The snake rammed its head against the cage, sending it crashing to the wall and tumbling away. It attacked the cage again and again, but the cage was tough enough to only deform a little bit.
“Shit!” the old monster gritted his teeth. She was worried about whatever was inside the cage. She owed it for the chance it gave her before. “Tamer! Stop where you are?!”
Gerudo, who had been tiptoeing towards the door tried to look as unthreatening as possible. “Don’t kill me!”
“What’s inside the cage?” she asked, ignoring his cowering figure.

“I don’t know! One of our contact just told us to keep it hidden and fed. We didn’t even know that it could use magic!”
“…among your skill, is there anything that can stop it?”
“I-Yes, it’s Bind spell! But it won’t do any good! The level is not high enough! The most I can do is stop it for a second!”
“That’s good enough. I’ll make it attack me. When it does, use that spell.”
“You’re insane!”
“Or you’d rather die from my sword?”
“Dammit! Fine!”
“Prepare yourself and wait for my signal.”
Wang Tian Gu focused what little amount of poison was left in her body and focused it into her right fingers. The finger quickly turned purple and bloated after being infused with the poison. The he cut her finger with a nearby sword and smeared the poisonous blood on it.
“Gah, I’ve forgotten how painful poison is,” she cursed.
“I’m ready!” Gerudo said.
After hearing that, Wang Tian Gu whistled, making a piercing sound that made Fasina turn towards her.
“Yes, that’s it. Come to me.”
Its head bobbed up and down, preparing to attack. Finally it made a thrusting motion with its head.
“Now!”
“Bind!!”
A transparent green light surrounded Fasina, stopping it mid-track. But it quickly broke free. The momentum was so heavy that it was forced to move straight forward, heading towards the female prey. Yet it found nothing there.
The giant red snake sensed something was wrong and tried to retract its head. But the old monster had latched onto its head and stabbed the sword deep into the eyes. She made sure that it stayed lodged in there and break apart for maximum effect.
“SCREEEECHHH!!” the giant snake screamed in pain, thrashing around the cave madly. It was ins so much pain that it did not register its master being smashed into paste underneath its body.
She let the strength of the snake flung her away and land on top of a dead body. “Yes, thrash away. That poison is going to go straight to your brain from your eyes.”
Just as she said, after a while, the poison spread through the brain and Fasina fell into a heap with a loud thud.
Wang Tian Gu grinned and fell back to the floor, exhausted.
“No. I don’t wanna…nap yet…”
Moments later the sound of snoring could be heard echoing in the large cavern.
