A torrent of fiery Blood-sucking Vines poured into the giant serpent's mouth, but it didn't bring about the expected end.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
A series of crisp snapping sounds rang out, clearly audible even amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
The Gray Swamp Lord's jaw and throat muscles possessed terrifying biting strength; any vines that entered its mouth were severed in the blink of an eye.
It was merely choked into a greater rage, thrashing its head wildly.
The battle reached a stalemate once again.
The giant serpent was firmly bound in the center of the basin by three sets of ballista steel cables and a living net of vines that covered its body, rendering it immobile.
But it was far from subdued. Its vigorous regenerative abilities were still wrestling against the forces that bound it.
[Winch load is steadily increasing! Cable One on the left is showing signs of metal fatigue!]
[Demon Crystal consumption is stable. Remaining reserves can last for another hour!]
'What now?'
