Chapter 171: [171]His Masterpiece.

The darkness around me is suffocating.

The last thing I remember is that I used my mana to stimulate the dragon mark on my back.

But it seems I used too much mana in the process and fell unconscious due to lack of mana.

But then why am I here?

In this darkness?

*Hiss.*

The sudden noise made me alert.

I turned to face wherever it came from, but then I heard it again from another direction.

*Hiss.*

The noise was all that existed within the darkness surrounding me.

The hissing of a snake.

The representation of the snake James Smith, The Jade Snake.

Why?

I didn't even touch the Snake mark.

Why is this happening?

*Hiss.*

It seemed to be getting closer, clearer.

And then, as I was standing calmly in place, I felt tremendous pressure coming from behind me.

I immediately turned and found a large eye belonging to a reptile looking at me.

I could only see the slit that was its pupil and the yellow sclera.
