The python screeched in pain as two earth spikes pierced the scales of its abdomen. Black blood trickled out, dyeing the rocks black. Earth Spike was third-level magic. With the Grand Staff, it was even more powerful. "What strong earth magic!” Shelton exclaimed. “Is that Earth Spike?" Tina nodded. "Yes, and he can instantly cast third-level magic! We’ve underestimated him." After struggling desperately, the snake finally broke free. In the blink of an eye, its body quickly shrank back to its original size. The little black snake quickly moved through the gaps between the numerous spikes. It could deal with Alex on its own. But with two additional and very powerful opponents, it immediately decided to run away. Alex had no plans of letting it get away. "Flying Rock!" he shouted.
