Chapter 111 - Cobra Gorgons (1/2)
As the three of them made their way back to the exit, they found it blocked by a dozen Gorgons. A group of 12 burly Cobra snakeheads with their classic hoods flared out, and eyes gouged out with what looked like red bloodstains permanently tattooed coming out of their empty sockets. Each holding two curved swords crossed in front of them coming out around their head on either side just shy of touching their neighbors as they held them close to their c.h.e.s.ts in a formation of 2 rows with 6 in front and 6 in back.
A smaller normal snake-headed Gorgon adorned with gold arm circlets, blindfolded and carrying a staff with a tied up covering around the top, slithered out from behind,- ”Evil's one's, your's time's is's up's, we's have's sacrificed's much's to's train's these's warrior's in's order's to's kill's you's.”
Medusa who was nervously thinking about heading to the shore angrily focused on these disgusting things in front of her,- ”You nasty little worms should all just die!” she said as she pulled out her bow and shot before any more talking could take place. Straight at the head of the one who spoke only for the closest cobra gorgon to swipe his sword and hit the arrow out of the air before it could hit.
The one with the gold arm circlets could guess what happened as it laughed- ”You's see's evil's one's, they's are's more's then's capable's of's defeating's you's.” he happily said as he slithered out of the way before commanding them to attack- ”Kill's her's.”
Anna asked- ”What's going on?”
Medusa- ”Those horrible things are attacking again, except this time it seems they're ready to kill me, they trained warriors to fight without eyes,” she said shooting a few more arrows only to see the Cobra men easily slithering to the side, dodging each one as they used honed listening skills.
They quickly headed straight for Medusa having no trouble locating her thanks to their instinctive ability to smell out their prey with their forked tongues as they constantly flicked in and out of their mouths.
Anna squeezed Theoric hand after hearing more curses coming from Medusa as she missed her shots- ”Theo, do something.” she pleaded.
Theoric- ”Don't worry, I don't believe these snake men can't be all that strong... Medusa, take Anna's hand.”
Medusa however didn't heed his advice, unaware of what he was capable of as she slithered around trying to hit one while retreating as they quickly closed the gap.
Most of the Cobra left in pursuit of Medusa only leaving one behind to take care of the two pests.
The cobra man came up to them fast, swinging hard in order to slice right through and rejoin the others, only to be surprised moments later when he connected against with what felt like a steel wall as his sword clanged against Theoric who was able to brace himself well enough after hearing an attack coming but had no clue from where having never trained blind before.
