The last piece of the golden coin was in the belly of a large sleeping serpent. It was like this place oozed growth hormones, or perhaps it was the abundant life force energy? Either way, the sizes of creatures in these parts were insane.
There were snakes back on earth that were much larger than humans, this one however, is even larger, I was a little curious about just how it didn't snap the branch it coiled about.
Though the serpent looked nacing, and I had just depleted my energy fighting the gorilla of which it was regenerating as fast as possible due to my , I was a little apprehensive about this one too. The Emoni Jungle Gorilla had almost swept off my feet, I was surprised by its performance, and though the chances were low, it could have taken control of the battle, subdue and perhaps even kill .
Repeatedly fighting foes like that not only have increase in power, but increase my chances of dying, and that was practically the last thing I wanted to do at the mont. However, this last piece of gold wasn't going to elude .

notified . The na was very fitting of it. The snake was black, extrely large which implied it had so much strength behind it, I could imagine it choking and squeezing about a crowd of a hundred n in a go.

"In hibernation huh? Well, that makes things a lot easier for ."
I raised my hand, and a spurt of fla burst from it, and once it was gone, a fiery red blade with a scaly hilt was in its place.
I moved the short sword to my flank, positioning properly, and crouched forward slightly. I took the position of a samurai about to pull his blade.
I lept, crossing ters in a single stride, and under two seconds, I was in front of the serpent, slashing down my sword on its great thick neck. I trusted the sturdiness and the sharpness of the , and expectedly, my blade went through the head of the Blade Constrictor as if it was butter, causing the cutoff piece to roll on the wet soil, until it stopped by the roof of a tree.
Green blood squirted from the orifice I made, and I had to jump out of the way not to get so on . The blood stank greatly, and it burned? I could see vapor emanate from the area the blood splashed on.
I remained at my spot for about ten minutes, I didn't want to be caught by surprise, and there was the sll that put off.
I had severed the head from the body– the head of which was about the size of my torso, and yet, the rest of it was still tightly clasped at the tree branch.
The hovering gold coin's light made things easy for , as the light was focused on the exact part where the shard was. I crept closer, activating , and got in by the side of the corpse.
I sank my blade at the underbelly of the serpent, about halfway from the bottom, and then I sank in my hand.
My face was contorted in disgust as little blood dribbled my way, and oh god, it stank. After a minute of probing, of feeling weird strange textures, I found what I was looking for: the last golden shard.
I yanked it from the serpent's entrails, and slowly descended. Soon as I let the shard go from my fingers, it zood to the almost completed one, and joined it, becoming whole.
The coin spun, the light it held growing brighter and brighter, that I had to maintain my distance.
And then it stopped.

[You have found the Solar Flare artifact]
"That is the solar flare?!" I blurted, totally surprised, but I did get the na behind it. The coin thing had the radiance of the sun was a was a circle which I believe is quite close to a sphere.
I had completed a quest without actually trying.

[Congratulations]
[You have received the new skill, ]
[You have received a new item: ]
I was elated that I received a new skill and a new item, they would make a fine addition to my list of items and skills.
"I wonder what does."
I looked up at the snake's corpse, and made it the target of the new skill, whatever it was.
I thrust both of my hands at it, and did the cliche thing of calling out the skill na, , and just as I did, a large blinding wave of light shot out from my hands, and zood right at the corpse, sizzling it.
It had gone so fast, that I only caught the mont it left my hand, and afterwards, it was gone, and the serpent's corpse looked like it was barbecued.
"Oh my…" I smiled, holding out my hands, it was quite the power, and it was close to energy projection which I wanted so badly.
Getting the skill and the artifact motivated , it made want to do the others.
I then summoned up the quests in my mind's eye, probing what remained.
"Monkey Killer, and Lord of Flies." I shivered, and cringed saying those words. And it seed like they wouldn't be as fun as this one was.
However, I was going to achieve them before going on achieving the requirents to pass, for I was an overachiever and I was curious.
