Chapter 215 – The Tunnel Of Dreams(2)

A force barrier slammed into the last snake. The tenacious impact broke its bones as white foams stained with blood escaped its mouth. 

Reve walked closer to the dead snake, "Whew! That should be all, shouldn't it?"

He had been fighting for hours and had finally cleared the path filled with snakes. 

All over his body were many snake bites that went deep into him. He could feel his bones spasming from the intensity of the bites. His hand shuddered occasionally as he could barely keep up anymore.

Having killed the last snake, Reve collapsed on the cold ground. The dust rolled into his hair and blemished his clothes, but he could not care for that.

Reve muttered to himself, "I guess I should take a quick rest."

Out of nowhere, he felt something coiling around him.

He jerked away but he still could not escape the grip of this unknown body. It was then he saw the tail of a snake wrapping around him. 

The black scales of the snake reflected dim light into his eyes and he trailed its body to spot the head of a woman atop the snake. She had beautiful black hair that was made into thick locks. 

Suddenly, the locks hissed!

'Heh!' reacted Reve.

Those weren't locks. They were snakes. 

'Damn! What the fuck is this medusa now?'  cursed Reve. 

He struggled to escape the hold of the snake but he couldn't.

This creature was not like the other snakes. It had a length of 8ft and a thickness that could easily stomach an average-sized human without bulging. 

Hence, one could only imagine just how strong its body was. 

Reve using [Force Barrier]. However, his hands were stuck in its grip. It was impossible to move it. Thus, it was also impossible to manifest a [Force Barrier].

Moreover, he couldn't also manifest one when his hands were too close to the target he wanted to attack. The [Force Barrier] would backfire on him and break his bones. Well, it would also break the creature's bones but majorly his. 

Reve tried tapping into his magi reserve.

The magi points there were miniscule. He would only be able to cast his basic magic spells at this point, which obviously wouldn't work on the creature, especially when they didn't work on the other snakes.

'Was this all planned? Draining me with her minions, making sure they poison me. After that, sneaking up on me when my senses were failing.'

If that was the case, then what a frightening intelligence this creature had!

'I need to do something before it bites my head off. [Tres Form]!'

Fur grew on his humanoid mode and his claws sharpened. 

Quickly shifting, Reve opened his mouth and bit the tough skin of the snake. 

The scales fought back but his fangs weren't to be defeated. With all his muscle strength, Reve clamped on the snake just before its head dove at him. His fangs seeped into its body and its blood streamed into his mouth. 

*Hisss!!*

The snake danced in pain. 

It made the mistake of loosening its grip on Reve, which the latter didn't ignore. 

Reve slipped out with a fierce momentum and rolled on the floor continuously. He struck his claws on the ground and stopped his reckless movements. 

'[Morai]!'

His figure disappeared after this mental declaration. The snake had recollected itself and whipped its tail towards Reve, but it was too late. 

The latter appeared a few feet away from his previous location and constantly analyzed the snake, looking for a weak point it could take advantage of. 

Soon, this field became a dancing ground. The snake would try to attack Reve, but the cat emperor was too nimble to be caught by the snake. 

In one round, Reve stumbled while moving during his bad body state. The snake approached him with an obvious tail whip, but Reve sidestepped just in time. 

He smiled at the snake as his claws gripped its body, 'I caught you!'

Using his two hands, he twirled his body and flung the snake away with his optimum strength. The snake hit the wall and caused a crack that revealed the outside to also be in a state of blackness. 

It tried moving multiple times but Reve guess he had done enough damage to stun it for a while. He advanced to deal a finishing blow when, suddenly, one of the eyes of snakes on the female snake jittered open.

An ominous aura overcame Reve and he fled the scene.

'Damn, just what is that?!'

He didn't need anyone to warn him that approaching the little snakes on the medusa's hair was bad news. He had already figured that out on his own. 

*Hiss!*

Seeing its prey flee, the medusa constricted its body and dashed at it. 

It became a game of cat and mouse!

Reve was slowly losing speed as he burnt all his energy but the medusa was instead increasing speed. It was almost like the more Reve struggled, the more it got stronger.

A bright beam of dark energy shot from its mouth. Reve jumped sideways in an instant as the energy exploded just beside him.

*Boom!*

Reve's face tensed. 

The rock that had been devastated by the attack might have just been him.

He picked up the pace just when the medusa got within close proximity. 

Meanwhile, the medusa kept firing all sorts of energy attacks at him. Some of them grazed his skin while the others were well evaded. Nevertheless, this only did well to lessen his speed. 

The shadow of the medusa covered Reve, leading the latter to panic. 

He flipped in the air. Whilst still suspended, Reve turned his head backward and unleashed one of his most destructive force barriers. 

With a cat-like balance, Reve got back to the earth and continued his staggering run. 

He noticed that his attack had successfully slowed down the snake and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. 

'Perhaps that's it!'

'The last time I couldn't afford to use force barrier because there were a lot of snakes, but this time, I only have one target….a target that was slower than me.'
