Reborn As A Snake In Another World

Chapter IV: Battle With The Mantis and Evolution

Ugh! Finally this damn skill is hard to lev-!?

*Shiing*
By sheer luck I somehow managed to move my head and dodge the strike.

Whipping around I came face to face with a green praying mantis.

What!? The hell man! How could you just attack me like that!? Have you no sense of honor!?

*Shiing*

Another attack came and I dodged it also.

Holy Jesus with a bomb! This thing is way out of my league in both stats and rank! It even has magic! I don't have magic yet!

Without looking back I made a straight beeline towards my home. However...

*Shiiing*

*Ting!*

*Hissss*

It wasn't gonna let me go so easily, a attack from it's scythe like arms connected right to my back. A deep gouge was made.

Shit! Ithurtsithurtsithurst!

A quick check of my [Health] determined that it was at [15].

Damnit! At this rate I'm never gonna make it it time.

I need to find somewhere to burrow and hide for a bit.

*Whoosh*

I suddenly had to stop because the mantis just appeared in front of me and sliced down towards my head.

[Dash]!

With a sudden burst of speed I evaded the strike It's scythes were planted firmly into the ground.

Damnit! That must be the [High Speed Movement] skill.

Every cell in my body was telling me to run but....I knew if I did it would catch up immediately so.....

C'mon you overgrown garden tool!
[Dash]!

I closed the distance fairly quick.
[Body Slam]!

My body collided with it's body but it only served to cause the mantis to be free. Not wasting anymore time I immediately used [Constrict].

As soon as I started constricting it. I began using [Venomous Fang] on it trying to inject as much venom as possible into it's head.

*Shiiing*

It managed to free itself from constrict and immediately started to chop my body.

D-damn it...I can't let go y-yet.
If I'm gonna die I'm taking you with me ya bastard!

[Bite]!

I could taste it's blood in my mouth and that just made me even more aggressive.

Soon I could feel that I had no more venom left. I still maintained my grip with [Bite] though refusing to let go.

Suddenly a white glow came over it's body and it began to slam me into the wall with more strength than ever
It began to slam me into the walls but I still hung on. Soon my grip loosened though and I fell to the ground with a thud.

I-i guess this is it huh. My body is wrecked and my [Health] is....[1]
D-damn I really didn't wanna die like this...I could no longer see I fully expected the mantis to begin to dig into my body but....
