Kobra waited to see one of the traps he set up earlier to clamp down hard onto Michael's feet and drag him down into the depths of this Sanctum.
He listened for Michael's footsteps, which kept on going further and further away from him.
But no matter how far he got, his quicksoils never activated!
Kobra climbed up the tallest rock formation and looked over the entire battlefield from above. There, he saw Michael expertly dodge away from his quicksoils as if he knew where they were!
"You even know where they are?!"
His exasperated voice came from his very soul. The boy that he had underestimated this entire time turned out to be one step ahead of him this entire time! It was humiliating and infuriating at the same time.
Michael's strange powers and that strange flying metal he had with him gave Kobra a foreboding sense of defeat. But he consoled himself with the fact that Michael was running away from him.
