My Angelic System

,m The snake cried in pain as its left eye was pierced by the sword. And since Kye knew that once strong monsters were furious, they would usually make a move that could easily cost his life. So he managed to back down right in time because if he didn't, he would have been killed by the sudden swing of the snake's tail.

But even though he managed to dodge this, the snake's next move wasn't to his expectation.

*Pshhhhh*

A violent and strong green smoke came out from the snake's mouth, which spread to the surrounding at record speed. And since Kye didn't get the chance to go away since it was too sudden, he got hit by the smoke and was now in the middle of it.

[You're surrounded by poison smoke]

[Poison had entered your body]

[Stamina is higher than 15]

[The poison doesn't have any effect due to the host's high stamina]

[Poison nullified]

'Well, that was unexpected,' Kye thought as he tried to swim toward the edge of the poison smoke to take the snake by surprise. 'It seems like stamina also has other uses than fighting during a longer period. Though, I'm lucky to have my sword and halo since I wouldn't have had enough stat points otherwise. And I guess the poison isn't too strong, otherwise, I would have needed much more stamina.'

The snake clearly thought that Kye was now dead because until now, not a single opponent managed to resist its poison. It was its strongest move and its most deadly one. Who could resist a deadly poison up this close to its caster? No one right? Nonetheless, it hadn't expected to lose an eye during this fight. It was so unexpected that the snake was still furious.

However, as if it was only the beginning of a nightmare, the snake felt another excruciating pain coming from an area that he never expected. He had already lost his left eye, so losing his right eye came as a great shock, accompanied by such a pain that its body shrunk and moved all around as if it became a mindless monster.

*Crighhehhehh*

Kye looked at the giant snake without knowing what to do. On the one hand, it was the perfect occasion to flee since the situation he was in was the same as with the balena a few days ago, but on the other hand, he also wanted to kill the snake since he didn't think that he would be able to fight against it again, especially if he were to flee.

Sure Kye had managed to go this far only because the snake underestimated him, and now, the former was paying the consequences. However, there wasn't much to do now since its scale was way too hard for his sword to pierce him, and both its eyes were now shut, making it impossible for Kye to injure his opponent.

Though, before fleeing, Kye decided to try one last thing. Maybe with a little bit of luck, his holy ray will manage to pierce the snake's eyes again, even though they were now shut. Its eyes were still the softest point of its body, even with scales on them. It would be hard to close and open them in normal circumstances if they were as hard as those on its body, after all.

The snake was still moving crazily all around as if it had lost its mind. So after observing it for a bit, Kye swam toward him, and once he was in a five-meter range and was sure that he would be able to hit the eyes, he pointed both hands toward them and shot two holy rays.

[-1 HP]

[-1 HP]

Both rays flew quickly toward the eyes, and to Kye's great surprise, they pierced its eyes even though they were close and had a hard scale on them.

*Crighhehhehhehhehheehhh*

The rays didn't go deep enough to touch the brain to kill the snake. Nonetheless, it still injured the snake even more greatly than earlier. A holy ray was a concentrated ray of holy energy, and even though it wasn't made of the light element, it was still burning the opponent and inflicted great pain. And it was even more true when the rays were injuring the inside and not the inside. It made the blood boil because of such foreign energy entering the body as well as destroying the inside slowly because holy energy wasn't something normal. At least for brainless monsters.

So after backing down again because the snake became even more furious than earlier and moved even more mindlessly, Kye went for another volley of Holy rays.

[-1 HP]

[-1 HP]

Kye kept repeating the process again and again. The snake was losing a great amount of blood because every time Kye fired rays, the holes that were earlier its eyes kept expanding. And because of the loss, its movement became slower as time passes until it looked like it moved as fast as a snail. So this time, since Kye was sure that the snake wouldn't be able to attack him from a sudden movement of its body because it became too slow for it, he swam toward it, ready to end the snake.

However, just as he came closer to the snake, the latter sensed him and suddenly opened its mouth to swallow Kye. However, instead of panicking, Kye had a smile on his face. It was the dumbest move that the snake could have done, so he let himself enter its mouth.

Unlike the exterior of its body, the interior was a lot softer, so Kye took his sword in his hand and was ready to kill the snake for good by piercing the upper part of its jaw so that he could reach the brain. Though, he didn't expect to see a green substance quickly fill its jaw.

He didn't care much about it and was about to injure the snake, however, the text messages of the system surprised him too much.

[You're surrounded by a poisonous substance]

[Poison had entered your body]

[Stamina is lower than 17]

[The poison is affecting your body]

[-1 HP every two seconds]

'Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t,' Kye cursed as he saw the notifications and his HP bar going down slowly. He had used a total of 20 Holy rays earlier, so he only had 15 HP left since he had a total of 35 after having reached level 6. So he only had a little less than thirty seconds left before his HP hit 0. He didn't know what would happen if it was to happen, but he didn't want to discover it either.

So he quickly tightened his grip on his sword and began to slash fiercely. The fear of dying was slowly submerging him, making him act under it. Though, he still managed to slash fast enough to injure the snake greatly while slowly reaching its brain.

[5 HP left]

[Your HP is dangerously low]

[The emergency protocol will begin once HP reaches 0]

Kye couldn't care less about such notifications and kept slashing relentlessly. 'Here it is!' He exclaimed once he saw what he wanted to destroy earlier.
