While running away and holding his hoodie tightly, he heard the basilisk screech again. Jaster turned around, and his heart dropped.
He saw the basilisk slithering toward the grandma's apartment.
"SHIT, GRANNY!" He acted quickly and grabbed a pebble from the ground, then threw it toward the snake.
The rock swung through the air and hit the beast's colossal head. The snake shook its head, then turned toward the hooded Jaster.
Recognizing that white-haired kid, its eyes blazed, and it started slithering faster toward the boy.
"Oh God, oh God, oh God!" Jaster started running in the opposite direction.
The giant beast opened its deadly maw. A beam of lightning shot out from the snake's throat and headed straight for Jaster.
The devastating beam burned anything in its path. The air itself seemed to be pulled toward the electric beam.
Jaster leaped to the side just in time before the beam struck the ground where he would have been.
