Like vines growing on a wall, they soon wrapped around its bloody, body riddled with holes, and their tip extended into its open wounds.
The branches' surface flashed crimson as they began devouring the warm, fresh blood.
With each mouthful, the Snake Beast's aura grew weaker while its body became smaller, as if a giant mosquito was sucking its blood out of it.
The snake didn't realize what was happening at first. Subconsciously, it dismissed the branches surrounding it.
Considering its massive frame, such a "weak" attack would not bring it any harm.
However, as time passed, it discovered that its movements were getting slower.
By the time it was about to reach Liora and launch its attack, its movements had completely halted.
It remained still, like a stone statue frozen in time.
The red color in its eyes disappeared, and, soon after, the intelligent luster in them also vanished.
