Four minutes later...
"Pop~"
The moment they separated, the giant snake absorbed all the essence.
The little snake stood ramrod straight before finally exhausting its strength and collapsing limply against the giant snake.
Its eyes went vacant, and a tear of despair rolled down.
Deprived of energy, it could only submit to whatever the other did to it. That peerless strike had also conquered it completely.
It could only open its eyes and look pleadingly at the other.
By now, a pair of horns had sprouted from the other's head. Feeling something stroking its body, the little snake finally realized that the other had even grown four limbs!

It didn't want to spend its entire life eking out an existence in this cramped cave, never seeing daylight!
