Reve continued walking carefully.
While it might seem like he was having fun, that was far from the case. His senses were strained to the optimum and his eyes tensed around.
Yet, his body kept jumping. That was his way of easing the tension. A little fun won't hurt, would it?
*Phew!*
A thin sound occurred as a sharp object flew past his cheeks. In actuality, it aimed at his face, but Reve reacted in time by bending his head sideways.
He was stunned, "What was that?"
If not for his superior senses, his face might have been hit by the mysterious object.
Reve turned back to observe.
Lo and behold, the so-called object was a snake. Its hissing sound was particularly loud as it danced its way back to Reve.
It jumped again.
*Phew!*
This time, Reve was more prepared. He evaded the attack with a flip.
Yet, a searing pain gripped his right leg and he fell instantly. Looking back, Reve saw another snake biting into his leg.
He raised his hands straight and chopped the snake, leaving only its head biting him. The snake's flesh squirmed but it wasn't dead yet.
It applied more pressure into its biting grip.
"Ahh!"
The snake certainly knew how to bite.
The pain it gave Reve was something entirely unique. It was too thin yet it knew the right buttons to push.
As veins popped on his face, Reve mercilessly ejected the snake away from his body. This violent action allowed a lot of blood to profuse out of the tiny holes that the snake made.
Around the flesh of those wounds was a purple liquid substance that was smoothly coated on his skin.
'Poison…..now, what type of poison is this?' wondered Reve.
Nevertheless, he had no time to wonder about that.
Reve faced the path ahead.
Making no movements, his eyes strained into the black abyss. His senses picked up on a few movements up ahead and he knew it would be foolish to move further.
Yet, before acting up, he needed to know what it was.
A sphere of light shot out of his hand. The blue streak dashed at the abyss and shed light on the horrors that lurked.
"I will be damned," cursed Reve.
What was worse, one snake or a den of snakes?
The answer was simple. A frickin den!
Ahead of him were many snakes coiling on top of one another as they 'snaked' their way to Reve.
Immediately they were revealed, their speed massively increased and they shot out like an arrow plucked by an elf.
Reve held his arm up and an almost transport shield appeared. It blocked the incoming snakes, but cracks began to open upon it.
'They are too much. The force they generate all together can probably fall a giant.'
That was an exaggeration but it was a sensible one. The number of snakes Reve counted were around 500. Their little body but long bodies occupied this section of the tunnel and Reve could only act passive in the face of the swarm.
'No, I need to do better. I need to do something.'
Knowing that his force barrier would break in any second, Reve punched it forward, giving himself the time that he needed to act.
Suddenly, he snapped his fingers.
A large magic circle appeared on the ground. It bellowed like a ferocious beast and what came out of it was a hellish gas that froze everything it came into contact with.
The snakes quickly turned into ice statues but some of them didn't!
No matter how many ice particles fell on their skin, they kept on advancing towards Reve.
Reve sneered as he noticed this.
The first in line was soon attacked by a variation of [Frozen Gate]. The tree magic circles coiled around the particular snake and outpoured its contents on it.
The snake couldn't resist the magical effect of the spell. Its magic-resistant scales overheated and self-destructed, leaving it vulnerable for yet another [Frozen Gate] that Reve cast beneath it.
Reve analyzed the army of snakes heading for him in less than a second.
He gave up thinking and multicast the variant [Frozen Gate] on each one of them. It was a reckless decision that cost him about half of his magic.
However, looking at the lack of snakes around him, Reve smiled as it at least did the job!
Now that he was free, he tried using [Appraisal] on them to understand just how they were able to resist his magic.
"....."
'Am I doing something wrong?'
Even when he summoned the Nixy windows, nothing popped up in view. It was just empty air, leaving Reve to speculate on what happened.
He tried summoning the windows again, this time, on himself.
"..."
The same outcome!
'Is it me or..---'
*Hiss!!*
An army of snakes approached Reve with their small vengeful eyes.
The cat emperor shivered as he yet again got attacked by the front army. He materialized a force barrier just after the first snake bit him and pushed the army back.
Using one hand to keep half his mental focus on the force barrier, Reve cast multiple [Frozen Gates] that attacked the snakes in front.
It was ineffective as usual so Reve did what he knew would work.
He wasted his magi yet again as he overloaded three magic circles on each of the snakes. They hissed loudly till they transformed into blocks of ice, just like he wanted.
A wave of rush left his body as he felt weakness overtake it.
'Sure enough, I have wasted most of my magi. Hmmm… I can't use my other magic spells since they take even more magi. Moreover, any nature magic spell would be bad for this setting. I can't also rely on my physical stats. That would be unwise.'
As he spoke, he realized that his view was distorted. He was beginning doubles of each single thing in the cave.
This was no doubt the effects of the poison. He paced like a drunk man, swerving to the left, swerving to the right. However, he could still control his body and make minute movements when it mattered.
Reve sighed after coming to a conclusion. A white headband appeared in his hand and he wore it, "I can only rely on the brute force of my path of secrets"
