I slowly entered the room, it was really huge, much bigger than I thought. Actually, when I think about it, most things were bigger than in the manhwa. Probably because the phone screen
cannot fully capture the true size of the multi-story snake.
In the middle of the cave there was an underground lake, the moment we approached it the surface
moved. First I saw the eyes, then the scales. The fuck was really huge, only its head was bigger than a car and the rest of its body disappeared somewhere in the darkness. "That's a big snake." Agron remarked.
"Because."
"A very large snake."
"I am beginning to understand your earlier warning."
The kasak opened its mouth and a loud hissing sound rang out, the entire cave shaking. A familiar feeling of excitement ran down my spine. Not fear, but excitement. Finally, something that didn't feel like ordinary training.
[Kasaka, Blue Poison Fang Lv. 40]
"That sounds interesting."
Kasaka disappeared, literally standing in front of me one moment and gone the next. "Shit!" I instinctively jumped back, and the giant head flew past where I had been standing a moment earlier. The impact shattered a chunk of rock, sending shards of stone flying everywhere. Okay, maybe I underestimated it a bit.
I turned to Agrona and called out, "Agrona!"
"Yes, my lord."
"Plan?"
Agron watched the snake and didn't move. "Not to get eaten." I stared at him for a moment. "That's a surprisingly good plan." Kasaka attacked again, this time at Agron, giant fangs biting into the ground, but Agron was no longer there, disintegrating into shadows a few meters away and re-forming.
"Interesting." He remarked.
"What's interesting?!"
"His reaction time."
"Save that for later!" I rushed forward.
The shadow sword hit Kasaka's scale and there was a metallic sound, sparks appeared and nothing, literally nothing. "Are you kidding me." A barely visible scratch remained on the scale. Kasaka turned, his blue eyes piercing straight into me and I immediately understood why Sung was having such problems, this was no ordinary monster, those scales were absurdly hard.
"My lord." Agrona spoke up.
"Because?"
"Eyes"
"Co?"
"weakest point."
True, it worked in the original too. Kasaka lunged forward again, but this time I didn't run. I waited until the very last moment Three, two, one, now! I jumped, the giant head flew past and I jumped right on its neck. "Fox!", The fox understood immediately. It disappeared and appeared right in front of Kasaka's head. The snake instinctively turned its attention to it. Exactly as I needed. I created a shadow spear. Then a second. And a third. "Then on purpose!"
All three spears fired, unfortunately the first missed, the second hit the scales. The third... It hit the eye. Kasaka roared. The entire cave shook. "It worked!"
Kasaka started going crazy, hitting walls, the ground, and everything around him. But instead of backing down... He became even more aggressive. This wasn't part of the plan!"
Agrona appeared next to me. "On the contrary."
„Co?"
"He was furious."
"That's not good!"
"It is less accurate."
I thought for a moment. "That's actually true." I lunged forward again, this time at full speed, the rotation of energy accelerated to its maximum. I felt the energy flowing through my entire body, muscles, bones, every part of my body became stronger.
Kasaka turned around, his other eye still intact, so he was still dangerous. "So what?"
"I created a single spear this time, but much larger, much denser than the previous ones. I pushed all my energy inside.
Kasaka opened his mouth, his poisonous fangs gleamed, and he lunged towards us, but I lunged towards him too, we covered the last few meters almost simultaneously, and then... I threw, the spear flew through the air.
The spear seemed to break the sound barrier at any moment, but it finally hit its target, the Second Eye. Kasaka roared brutally, then his body began to collapse. A huge mass of scales hit the ground, the cave shook, and the water in the lake rippled. And then there was silence, and for a few seconds I just stood there. Gasping for breath, tired, but smiling
"So." I sighed "that was a lot more interesting"

"Lets go!!! so I'm level 34, awesome!" I said to myself, smiling as hard as I could
Agrona walked up to the huge corpse and remarked, "An impressive creature." I honestly had to agree, it was amazing, even with the way it was now, I was really struggling.
Then I got an idea, I quickly ran to him "Wait a minute", Agrona turned to me with a curious look "what's going on?"
"I'm not done yet," I replied, reaching my hand over Kasak's body. Agron watched silently, clearly not understanding what I was trying to do. "Arise"
The shadows from the body whipped brutally, they formed slightly, but nothing. They returned to their previous state again, I gained weight for a while, but this failure did not stop me and I continued to "arise" again, but again the same result.
"I have one last try, concentrate!" I lightly hit my cheeks with my palms and tried one last time, "arise", the shadows began to spread throughout the cave and took on a huge shape, but this attempt also faded away "damn", immediately the system responded
[Extraction failed]
[Number of attempts exhausted]
"He could have been a damn good soldier," I remarked. Agrona looked at the dead snake and then at me, and then we left the dungeon.
