Fear
'There is a sleeping basilisk.
How strange this one, though, is different from what I remember before.'
This one was more than a meter tall, and its scales were not black; instead, they were dark reddish with black lines and feather-like patterns in both front legs.
It also has a third eye in the middle of its forehead.
I could not see the color of the eyes because it's sleeping.
[Warning. The host must run away right now!!!] The mechanical voice shouted agitatedly in my head.
'Calm down, what is going...'
Before I could finish talking, I felt some viscous liquid falling on my head.
for a moment I felt shivers down my spine.
because of the intense pressure the creature behind me was emanating.
As I turned my head toward the source of that viscous liquid, I began to pale.
Because what I saw made me realize how weak and stupid I was to come to this place.
What I saw was a giant snake.
Its scales were as black as darkness, two bright red eyes that shone like rubies, and a third eye in the
middle of the forehead of a dark purple color.
The snake's size was too great for me to believe what
I had in front of me was real, but if I have to estimate its size, it is larger than 200 meters.
The only thing I could think about at that moment was fear.
I was so scared that I couldn't hear [Global Wisdom]'s voice yelling at me to run away.
Even if I could hear him, because of the fear, I couldn't even move a single finger.
Suddenly the snake noticed me and began to stare at me;
At that moment I began to shake vigorously, scared of what would happen to me at that moment.

...
For a few moments the giant snake stared at me.
He began to slowly approach me; he lowered his head, and what happened next really shocked me.
"What's a strange skeleton doing here?"
I heard a female voice speaking in my mind. I looked around to find the source of the voice, but I couldn't find it.
"Where are you looking? I am in front of you!"
'!?'
As I turned my head, the only thing I could see was only the snake.
'Are...Are you the one who spoke to me?'
Thanks to my newly acquired [Fear Immunity: Lv--]
skill, I was able to calm down a little bit and say something.
"Do you see anyone else here?"
'N...No, you are right.'
I replied.
"So what are you doing in my nest?"
The snake asked me with an angry voice.
'I…I got lost.'
It was a complete lie.
From what I understand, that snake was the mother of the basilisk that is sleeping.
So you understand that I could not tell her that I was there to kill his baby.
Just thinking about what would happen if I did tell her something like this sends shivers down my spine.
My priority in that moment was to get out of that situation possibly alive.
So I had to convince her to let me go.
"Are you sure about what you just said?"
She asked me again, but this time she seems angrier than before.
'Y...yes.'
I confirmed what I said earlier.
What a great mistake I made because it made her even angrier.
"Liar, I was here from the very beginning.
I sensed your killing intent toward my child."
She shouted at me, increasing the pressure he exuded.
'I'm screwed.'
She figured out my intentions from the beginning.
Suddenly the snake attacked me with its tail; it wasn't a powerful or fast attack.
So I had managed to dodge it on time.
'There is a misunderstanding.'
I tried to calm the snake; instead, she opened his mouth and started spitting purple balls.
'I'm too much accustomed to those balls.'
I said while dodging the annoying poison balls.
'It seems like she's not planning to talk anymore.'
As I was evading all the snake attacks, I compared our status.

'Hahah, there is no way I can fight something like this.
It will not ever be called a fight; it will be just me being instantly killed.'
