Day after day Adam made sure to take a trip to the Coil of Eternity, trying to overcome his fear of snakes.
Just like Professor Whitaker had said to him, he was slowly but surely overcoming his fears. But the fact that it would take him, a Rank 2 - Mana Liquefaction Magus, so long to stand the sight of serpents hurt his pride.
Several years ago, he faced a werewolf whose strength was equivalent to that of a rank 3 - Mana Vortex Magus. He had fought the being and defeated him head-on.
Yet, in front of a mere snake whose strength was no more than a Rank 2 Magus, he found that he couldn't stand his ground for a few seconds. But gradually, he was overcoming this.
On the seventh day when he had arrived at the Coil of Eternity—this time, at a different location than the previous time—he faced off against hundreds of snakes. His arrival had greatly disturbed them, after all.
