Chapter 38 - The Slithering Green Snake

Meanwhile, in the entrance room where Zack was waiting.

It is already more than two hours, Why it is taking so long for her? I was surprised. I don't know the content of the test. But considering Maria Frazier's strength it will not be so difficult to clear the round.

As I shifted my gaze around me. I found everyone seems to be impatient. As time goes on. Soon, the monitor light flashes indicating Maria Frazier exited the door. I am excited to see whether my turn is next.

Everyone turn their gaze towards the monitor. To know who is going to enter next. The monitor lit up with the name showing Candace Wilkerson. Everyone's head turned towards her.

I saw her she had no expression on her face whatsoever. She gets up casually and entered the arena. Once she entered. The dome's entry door was closed. Giving no chance to prying eyes.

I was disappointed by the fact that my name was not mentioned. Still, I got no choice but to wait patiently. The only powerful seed beside me here is Maria, the rest of them are not elemental warriors. The test will be over soon. So, I decided to meditate a little.

Inside the dome. Where the battle took place on the platform.

Candace Wilkerson thought. The entry door is closed behind me. As I saw at the end. I found the exit door. But what is the test? As I was thinking about it a loud sound reverberated. I got startled and looked at the sound where it came from. I saw there is an "X" mark at the centre of the platform.

Meanwhile, In the monitor's room.

After seeing Maria Frazier exited the door successfully. Mr Arthur Emerson looked at one of the staff and asked, "Prepare the next batch of CLASS 1 Monster". then he turned towards Ms Adeline Key and said, "She didn't kill the wolf but escaped successfully".

Ms Adeline Key was surprised and replied, " I believe it's because of time constraints. Even though the Dark Wolf was restricted to kill her. It can easily block her from entering the exit door".

Hearing that Mr Arthur Emerson shook his head and said, "The purpose of this test is to have the seed candidates get their first blood kill". and then he added further, " Ever since we announced about Advanced course; The seeds will be looking to exit the door easily. Instead, wasting their time to kill the Red wolf".

A look of understanding appeared on Ms Adeline key's face. She replied, "The test will be over soon. We were expecting Ms Adeline to participate in the CRIMSON SWORD HALL's tournament; That's why I decided to come up with a blood kill test"

She sighed and added, "if she is not going to participate then it's a waste of time to conduct this test further; Even she can't kill the CLASS 1 Monster. I suspect there is hardly anyone from the newbies could kill".

Hearing that Mr Arthur Emerson remained silent. He thought. Initially, I agreed to this blood kill test. Hoping to see Maria Frazier would participate in that exhibition match. But now everything is failed.

The only way is now to convince James Lockwood to let Zack participate in the match. The blood kill test is usually for Senior students to gain confidence before joining the Academy. But I believe Zack should somehow use this opportunity. It will be fruitful for him.

In the battle arena. Candace looking at the " X" Mark on the platform. Suddenly, from the "X" mark a door was opened. Revealing a huge cage. Inside the cage, a hissing sound can be heard. Candace looking at the scene alertly. The door of the cage was opened. Revealing a huge figure.

Seeing that huge figure. There is a smirk on Candace's face. She is not at all Scared. She thought looking at the huge figure.

A ClASS 1 Monster Slithering Green Snake. It's species related to GIANT SNAKE. Commonly found in green forest. Their attribute is Speed but not venomous. Slithering Green Snake use their speed to catch their prey and tangle around the prey with its huge body and squeeze the life out of the prey.

Candace once again looked at the exit door. And then shifted her gaze towards the neck of the Slithering Green Snake. There is a Sci-fi collar around it. And the snake looked like it is inoculated with some drug. It's not actively hissing around like the usual description.

Candace stopped thinking and said to herself, "Even though the monster is not venomous. once should not get a bite from its razor-sharp teeth. especially every tooth on its jaw was curved downward; If it's got hold of your flesh then it will rip it away immediately ". She Shuddered while saying that.

While Candace was thinking. The Slithering Green Snake. When it came out of the cage. it's started to hissing around. It is trying to sense the surroundings.

The snake was a little dizzy due to inoculation. So its movements were a little slow compared to its Apex speed. Despite that, It moved its huge body around the "X" mark of the platform.

When it tried to move past a certain range after the "X" mark. The Sci-fi watch buzzed and it hindered the slithering snake movements immediately.

The snake suddenly wailed in pain. Its dizziness is slightly reduced due to pain. it became a little clear-headed. but still, there is a huge drug effect on its body.

Its huge eyes sharply notice everything around the surroundings. Beautiful green scales on its body were shining brightly. It wagging its pointy tail making a little sound.

As it's hissing around with its tongue it sensed the presence of a heat signature. The green scale snake's gaze sharpened and looked towards the heat signature.

It found out the heat signature of a human. It is very angry. It is clearly understood from the earlier lesson. It cannot move past a certain range. so it decided and prepared for any possible attack from this human.

The slithering snake body was so huge that it covered the view of the exit door completely. Unlike, Maria who used the opportunity to exit the door using the distance between the Dark Red wolf and the exit door.

This cannot be done by Candace Wilkerson. She saw that the huge body of the slithering snake covered the view of the exit door. She said to herself, "It's impossible to find a way to exit the door without killing it. But due to inoculation, its current speed is greatly reduced.

Let me first test the current speed of this monster". Candace looked at her left hand's forefinger. which is empty earlier, now a silver-coloured beautiful ring appeared around the finger.

Candace seeped her consciousness into the ring. Then she took out a long weapon from the ring. The weapon is a whip. It is a long and elongated whip. which had a pointy arrow-like structure at the end of the whip.

The pointy arrow-like structure is made up of some rare steel. which exhibits a strange aura. One can witness a violet colour vapour released from the pointy tip. which is nothing but deadly poison.

The whip light rose in colour, it was durable, long, it had a firm grip to hold tightly.

After she took out the whip, the silver ring disappeared. while holding the long whip in her right hand. Candace moves forward towards the snake. The slithering snake quickly alerted, it saw the human.

The human is moving past. The human is coming towards it. It quickly readied itself for a battle mode. It knows its current speed is reduced. so it wanted to make use of its large body.

As Candace was moving forward. she focussed on the snake's movements. she also felt that the collar on its neck had some purpose. she said to herself, "The Green snake's body is huge". While being an inch away from reaching the danger zone.

where the "X" mark is placed in the centre region of the platform. The green snake then moved it had huge bloodthirsty in its eyes. It's patiently waiting for her to take initiative to reach here.

It flung its huge tail towards the face of Candace Wilkerson. Its movement is rather slow yet it managed to do it in time. Candace Wilkerson was startled seeing a huge tail coming towards her. she stopped abruptly and swung her whip towards the tail. She wants to deflect it. But she failed in her judgement.

The whip when it came in contact with the tail. It coiled around the tail by binding it. she hoped for whip's pointy end to deflect it. she made an error in judgement guessing the snake's speed. The Green snake may be tranquillized yet its speed is a little faster.

The green snake got happy seeing the whip coiled around its tail using the movement it once again swung the tail. This time it swung towards the wall of the arena forcibly.

Candace Wilkerson currently holding the grip of the whip was thrown immediately at the wall of the arena. She had no time to think. she hit the wall harshly. "Bang" the sound reverberated the entire platform. Outsiders had no clue about it.. Since the dome covered the battle arena for privacy purposes.
