Basilisk Lord Variant
While I was checking the Basilisk Lord's status, she suddenly disappeared.
I looked all over to find it, but it seems to have dissipated into nothingness.
[Get out of here before it's too late.]
[Global Wisdom] shouted still alerted, but it was too late.
The basilisk lord came out from below my feet with his jaws wide open, ready to devour me whole.
'It is too late to run away, but I won't die in this way.'
I screamed as I was swallowed by the snake.
.
.
.
'Haaa! I managed to survive.'
I sighed in relief inside a cocoon.
'Let me explain what I did to get out of that situation alive.
Before the basilisk lord ate me, I created a cocoon of shadow around me and
strengthened it over and over again to give the cocoon a solid shape.'
I would never have been able to do it alone; in fact, [Global Wisdom] helped me.
And I also learned a new skill [Thought Acceleration: Lv1].
'Now what do we do? Do you have any ideas, [Global Wisdom]?'
[I strongly recommend not leaving the cocoon and to strengthen it for the next few minutes]
'Does it have anything to do with the fact that we are floating?'
[Affirmative, we are currently floating in a river of stomach acid.]
'Then, to save some mana, let's reduce the dimension of the cocoon a little bit so it will also be easier for me to reinforce it.'
And just like that, I reduced the dimension of the cocoon and started talking with [Global Wisdom] about
the basilisk lord.
Apparently the basilisk lord is a boss-like monster.
in this dungeon that lives in the basilisk cave.
[Global Wisdom] told me that the third eye on the forehead apparently is
the eye he uses to petrify his enemies.
After listening to this, I had chills down my spine and was so glad she
didn't use that eye on me.
Let's move on to the reason why she was on the fourth layer.
From what [Global Wisdom] told me, this monster, after it reaches the lord evolution,
It will move to the lower layer of the dungeon and return to the middle or the upper layer only to lay eggs.
If there is a female basilisk, the mother will stay to look after it.
Because there is a very low chance that a female will be born to avoid having her
die early, the mother will protect her for a period of time and then leave;
While the males will leave the nest not long after birth.
The reason is because of they [Evil Eye of Petrification]; since they are newborns, they would turn everything they see into stone.
to avoid turning each other into stone
and to protect the female, they leave the nest, and that is also the reason why she did not use this ability against me.
[Global Wisdom] said that this basilisk lord is a variant. The reason
why he thought that was not only because it was written on the status but also because
this basilisk can talk, and the thing that confirmed his suspicions was this characteristic skill.
[Dragon Blood linee] and not the normal [Wyrm Blood linee] and also the Divine Blessing she has may be from a dragon god.
'Well, it makes sense now... It is a lot of information to cope with.
Anyway, let me check my status since I have nothing better to do.'

[*******]
'After I fought the two Lesser Poisonous Rats and used [Sin Of Gluttony] on them both,
Some of my skills are about to reach max level. Well, it is not like they will help me
get out of this situation, since they are all poison-related skills.
Or maybe there is something useful like the [Telekinesis] skill?'
'Ei [Global Wisdom], do I have any skill that can help me out of this pool of gastric juices?'
[Negative]
'As I thought.'
'Well, for now I will take a break.'
.
.
.
After a while, [Global Wisdom] woke me up and notified me that we were not moving anymore.
'Should I go out?'
[It's better if you put a foot out of the cocoon at regular intervals!]
'Eh! Why?'
[Just do it.]
After I tried it once, I understood what he meant.
Well, the thing was that, even though we were on the "ground," out of the stomach acid pool, the liquid was pretty much all over the place.
So if I had gone out of the cocoon, I would melt instantly.
To gain mastery and learn a new skill, I have to touch the acid at regular intervals.
'This will take some time!'
.
.
[The proficiency has reached the required level.]
[You have learned the [Acid Resistance: Lv1] Resistance skill.]
[The proficiency has reached the required level.]
[You have learned the [Corrosion Resistance: Lv1] Resistance skill.]
[The proficiency has reached the required level.]
[The Resistance skills [Acid Resistance: Lv1] and [Corrosion Resistance: Lv1] have become [Acid Resistance: Lv2] and [Corrosion Resistance: Lv2].
'Finally I can go out of this cocoon.'
I shouted with joy before dissolving the cocoon of shadow.
And what greeted me was a cave of viscous meat.
'This is so disgusting... How can we get out of here?'
[Well, we have three options:
One: We get out the way you come in.
Two: Destroy the heart.
and the last option, which I would prefer to use only in an
emergency case, the rear door.]
'The rear door?...!'
'Wait! No, no, no way; you don't mean that, right!?'
[...]
'Absolutely, no matter what, we are NEVER! And I repeat, NEVER!!
going to use the third option, UNDERSTAND?'
I shouted in disgust.
'I will never use such a plan, even at the cost of my life!'
