Roughly fifteen seconds later, the gigantic white serpent completed its regeneration.
Torn flesh sealed itself layer by layer, shattered bones reformed with faint cracking sounds, and streams of spiritual energy flowed through its body like rivers reconnecting after a flood.
Throughout the entire process, Kiara remained exactly where she was.
She neither advanced nor retreated.
Instead, she crouched beneath the protection of her Blizzard Wings, their icy feathers folded around her like an indestructible fortress. Through a narrow gap between the overlapping feathers, her sharp eyes remained fixed upon the recovering serpent, studying every movement while simultaneously allowing Ether Regeneration to replenish her reserves.
The moment the white serpent fully recovered, it raised its enormous head high into the sky and released a furious hiss that shook the barren landscape.
