Chapter 40: A snake seriously?

As I stood among the dead monsters, I heard a loud hiss from behind one of the doors. It sounded like a snake, but much bigger and angrier. I felt a chill run down my spine. I knew this was the master that the clone had warned me about.

The door opened slowly, and I saw a huge snake emerge from the darkness. It was at least ten meters long, with thick scales that shone like metal. It had red eyes that glared at me with malice. It had fangs that dripped with venom. It was the most terrifying thing I had ever seen.

"Behold, the master of this place. The one who created these monsters. The one who holds the key to your freedom." The clone said with a twisted smile.

A giant snake, seriously, it couldn't be any more clichéd than that. A cockroach or even a fairy would clearly have been enough for me.

I gripped the sword in my hand, ready to fight. I knew it was a hopeless battle, but I had no choice. I had to try.
