"This place feels quite cold..."
"U-n... the atmosphere feels heavier than even outside."
“…”
…as the girls say, when entering the temple, it seems as if we have passed through another dimensional door to reach another place! The feeling of being here was even worse than outside! It really looked like a place abandoned by god!!
Inside, several statues could be seen... or what was left of them, they were so shattered that it was difficult to distinguish what kind of image they represented. Although I think the most likely thing would be a kind of snake or Lamia... I guessed that thanks to the things we've found so far in this space.
While trying to get rid of that bad feeling we were feeling, we kept going further into the temple... it didn't seem like we could find anything good here, but it was best to explore the whole place anyway.
““…””
Suddenly, at the bottom of the temple, big eyes appeared above our head making our feet stop in that instant! That gaze on us almost seemed like it had strange powers like petrifaction!
…c-come to think of it, aren't snakes regularly associated with those things? If it wasn't for the system not activating or sounding any kind of warning in my head, I'd think we fell into some kind of spell by seeing those big eyes!
In fact, if it weren't also for the fact that with my Domain I had already detected two reactions indicating that there were living beings in this place, I probably wouldn't have been able to prevent a cry of “ Kyaaa ~! ” out of my mouth before!
Because what was watching us was hidden behind the darkness, those eyes almost seemed as if we had disturbed a god's rest to open his eyes to look at us! No, due to how things were in this place, instead of a god, it would be more of a devil!
And those big slanted eyes like the reptiles with yellow pupils watching us, really gave the image as if a demon was watching us! It is not strange that the two girls, despite the fact that they were regularly very brave, this time their bodies approach me as if seeking to calm their anxiety and fear!!
““…””
For several seconds, our 6 pairs of eyes and that other pair of eyes stared at each other in silence… and the tension in the environment grew heavier as time passed. Finally, the other side is the first to make a move.
As the shuffling sound is heard, from the curtain of darkness in front of us, a giant head that was towering above our bodies and which had those eyes on it, slowly comes out showing itself…
"S-So it was a snake... that calms me down a bit now."
"U-n... if it's something I can cut, then there's nothing to be afraid of."
“…”
Unlike the two girls who relax upon seeing one of the presences that I had detected in my domain, I couldn't do the same! The reason for this was nothing other than what I could see when analyzing this snake!
Yes, what had been watching us for a while until now, was a very similar snake to the ones we had eliminated so far! So I can understand the reaction of both of them… they probably thought that if we had to fight, things wouldn't be too different from before!!
Well, it was certainly much better than having to fight some kind of demon, but…
[Great Black Hell Cobra] [Level 199] [Awakened Dragon Lineage: 5%]
... but this I could read on the head of that snake... no, cobra, they told me that things hadn't improved as much as the girls thought! Especially that last one! I felt that it was something very bad when I read it!!
“ O-Ok… I apologize for interrupting your sleep, Mr. Cobra… w-we won't bother you anymore and we'll go now, bye! ”
Taking the hands of the girls who seemed to be about to grab their weapons to fight, I turn around to leave this place! If I could avoid fighting that big cobra, then that would be for the best! I can't imagine the complications of having to do something like that!!
“ Sssss~ Invader… you enter my house as you please and now you just want to leave? Do you really think you can do it? ”
“I-T-That spoke! Alex-san, the snake spoke!!”
“U-Unbelievable… surely Apa would be very envious if I told him that I was able to talk to a snake~”
“…”
Even though I'm also surprised to hear the cobra speak since I didn't expect it to reply to my previous words, it wasn't as much as Saeko and Shigure. Or rather, Shigure-san… I don't think that cobra is very interested in talking to each other!
If you think about it, Scythe was also a Monster and could talk...in fact, the stronger she's gotten, her thought process is more and more human-like. It's probably just Saeko forgetting about this!
Although, I can understand why, unlike this cobra, she looks practically human and that's why you can forget her origins a bit. If it weren't for the fact that every time she sees me and can do it, she still likes to lick my body, I'd forget it too!
“ Ssss~ So it was because of you guys that there was so much noise outside… Ssss~ I'm surprised that there are invaders who managed to get to this place...”
…I wonder if it finds out that we just wiped out a nest of snakes will bother this cobra? I don't want to this one find out it...
“A-Are you… the leader-snake of those snakes we killed earlier?”
““…””
C-Come on, Shigure! If you want to talk to someone, you don't start by saying that you just eliminated their relatives, right?! How come she thinks it's the best choice of a topic of conversation to talk to this cobra?!!
“ Sssss… more than a leader, you could say they are my descendantssss~”
“I see… sorry, w-e killed them before.
U-n What's up… Alex? Why do you look at me like you're going to cry at any moment? ”
“…”

…I hug Shigure and put my face on her breasts… If it wasn't for the chain mail she's wearing, this might calm me down a bit. After a few seconds of being like this, I try to look her in the eye to convey my thoughts, unfortunately... it seems that we have not reached that level in our relationship! My complaints continue in my heart without her realizing this!!
Do you know? Even Saeko seems to clearly understand that it was not the best option to talk about such things with this cobra! Now she looks at us while a little sweat runs down her forehead!!
"I don't mind that, ssss~... I can always do more"
Thank God, the cobra's reaction to hearing this was not what I imagined! Is this why people say "As cold as a snake"? Although it is a cobra, it seems that this applies to this one too!!
On the other hand… if all those snakes are its descendants, then don't this cobra has been very busy all these years?! Even though we had killed quite a lot, I think this place was still full of these, you know?!
Well... in such a dark and cold place, I can't imagine anything else with what this one could be distracted a little. It's not that I can't understand this cobra.
“ Though… Ssss~, since you've come this far, I can't let you go! ”
…in the end, it seems that things were not different from what I imagined! I think now the cobra had finished or got tired of talking to us! His body that was curled up on itself slowly unfolds and soon I can understand why he had the word “Grand” in its name! That thing was probably over 30m long!! Fuck!!
Although the temple was quite large, given its size, it now looked a bit small!!
[This is bad, Alexander! You can't fight that cobra, it's almost entered the third soul level!! This one has even opened up its consciousness, maybe it just needs a little more time to get to that level!
Also, probably because of that crystal over there, its dragon lineage has also awakened!! You can't think of it as just someone at the 9th limit of the second soul level!!]
“…Shall we fight now?”
"No! We escape now!! ”
""Fine""
I didn't need Aurora to warn me about those things, I could already feel that that cobra was quite dangerous! And the girls surely could understand this clearly, when I firmly makes the decision to run away, they quickly agree to this without raising any complaints.
“S-Shit! Come out grimoire!! ”
[ Boom !!!]
Taking just a few steps toward the exit, I feel a shiver run down my spine. Without thinking twice, I quickly activate my grimoire's shield!! In the next instant, I can see the cobra's tail hitting this causing it to shake!!
“ Ssss~… oh~, I didn't expect you could resist one of my blowssss~, let's see how many you can resist.”
[ Boom !!!] [ Boom !!!] [ Boom !!!]
Holy crap, how can something that big move that fasts! Its tail looked like a whip that disappeared in front of our eyes and, in the next instant, hit the shield of the grimoire!
“Open a dimensional gate to a level 2 world!!”
…if this cobra was moving so fast, it would probably be impossible for the 3 of us to get to where the dimensional gate is! With no other choice, I activate the other ability of the grimoire!!
The only thing I had time to do now was to choose the level of the world, so I just choose one of the names that appear in the grimoire without even reading it, and then I give this one the necessary crystals to create the link to the place!!
“ Sssss~?!”
Also, I couldn't stay still or otherwise, even though the shield was supposed to last for a few minutes now that the level of the grimoire had leveled up, it probably wouldn't hold up very well against those blows!
I took several BIMs that create black holes, and throw them at the snake!
[ Tsuuuun !!] [ Tsuuuun !!] [ Tsuuuun !!]
…unfortunately, probably to its instincts, the cobra withdraws enough to avoid any damage! Damn it, it really doesn't mean much how strong they are if they can't hit the target!
No… at least managed to stop the attack from the snake and give us enough time to can escape safely!
“Come in quickly!!”
“ W-What is about you, Alex-san? ”
“…U-n”
"Of course I'm after you!"
I didn't mean to stay in this place to fight this big cobra! After they hear my scream, both of them enter the dimensional gate that had been opened and disappear in the next instant. Then, without wasting any time, I'm also going after them just like I said.
"You won't escape!!"
“Fuck you, big Snake! You're confusing the boy you should aim for! The one you should be looking for has glasses and a scar on his forehead!!”
[ Boom !!!] [ Crack!!!]
“S-Shit, why is my luck so bad?!! Where is my skill [Luck]?! Do your damn job, fuck!! ”
…before I can pass through the dimensional rift, I have to quickly move away since the grimoire's shield had given way to the cobra's blows!
As I take several steps back, I also take out two [ Overdrive ] pills and consume them in the next second! I didn't want to have to go through the same thing as before of having to stay in bed for more than a week, so this time I refrain from consuming a 3rd… although, if I had no other choice, I could only do it!
...I just hope this cobra doesn't force me to go any further than that!
“S -Shaaa~!!!”
“…”
As I leave the place where was the dimensional crack, it tries to follow the girls using its tail but is stopped without being able to could cross the dimensional gap... then, seeing that it was impossible to stop Saeko and Shigure, the cobra focus returns to me completely! It opens its big mouth, and spits out a breath of fire!!
“ Ssss~… well, At least I was able to get rid of one pest... hmn?”
[ Booom !!!]
“S -Shaaa ~!!!”
…since it was the fire that attacked me this time, I didn't see the need to do anything. My immunity was more than enough to defend myself against the flames... I just felt a little hot! So hidden behind these, I carefully observe the cobra, take out an [RPG] and before it is affected by the fire, I pulled the trigger firing the explosive warhead!!
Even though a scream comes out of the cobra's mouth, the wound it creates makes me quite disappointed! That was to get through tank armor, you know?! How is it that this one only has a bleeding wound?! Come one, It should have at least a hole in its body now!!
