My Level Zero System

Chapter 40 Slow down

Thanks to [Thunder Navigation], Kain can apply his magic skills in a diverse and unpredictable way, suitable for different strategies and different situations, not just simply throwing a ball of lightning at the enemy.

As expected, the last four Moleds were still unable to resist the power of all three of Kain's team, were quickly defeated, and were ended by Kain.

At this point, they were considered safe, there were no more monsters around.

Kain paid attention to the system, it seemed that even though these monsters weren't too difficult to kill, the level of discomfort when facing these things was not low, leading to the amount of skill points they could provide being a bit beyond Kain's expectations.

[Level]: 11

[Ability]:

-[Thunder Magic ? ]:

+[Thunder Bullet level Max]

+[Thunder Summon level 3] 2/5 (+)

+[Thunder Navigation level Max]

-[Enhancement Magic ? ]:

+[Enhancement Body level 4] 0/11 (+)

+[Enhancement Tool level 1] 0/12 (+)

Just seven Moleds alone provided 11 skill points, although it wasn't as good as high-level monsters like that mutated zombie, the scythe-wielding Reaper, or the skeleton centipede, but it was known that this place was full of such monsters and wasn't rare at all.

Thus, he could soon complete his goal.

[Thunder Summon level 5] 2/7 (+9)

Kain knew that enhancing [Enhancement Magic] was the best choice for now, because [Enhancement Magic] was a great help in combat and Kain's [Thunder Magic] was already sufficient. But when he thought about all three magic skills of [Thunder Magic] reaching max level, Kain still couldn't contain his curiosity.

With his own intuition, Kain deduced that when all three magic skills were at max level, there would be some kind of change.

So Kain disseminated a new strategy to his two teammates.

As for Roc, they would still stick to their original plan, trying to avoid fighting as much as possible. But if they encountered Moled, they should fight because except for its ability to swim through rocks, this monster was not too strong, it would help Myra and Mera learn how to react quickly to surprise attacks, and it would also help them practice their magic skills.

There was nothing to argue about this reason, so neither of them saw any point in arguing. Besides, Kain, who was always putting himself in danger, should be arguing for his own safety.

Continuing on their journey, Kain felt that they had been quite unlucky, because their subsequent encounters with Moled were mostly one or two lone monsters, not seven at once. With that number, Kain thought that even a group of Adventurers could be annihilated.

"Kain, let's stop here for today."

Mera complained, she couldn't help but sit down because her legs were sore and tired. Today she not only had to run hard but also had to fight, the two things combined had pushed Mera to her limit.

"Okay, we'll rest here today."

Kain also couldn't push Mera too hard.

The three of them sat down again, took out dry food and drinks, and began to devour them. Once they had finished eating and rested, Kain turned his attention to the system.

[Level]: 0

[Ability]:

-[Thunder Magic ? ]:

+[Thunder Bullet level Max]

+[Thunder Summon level 6] 3/8 (+8)

+[Thunder Navigation level Max]

+[Enhancement Tool level 1] 0/12

"Kain, what are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, Myra walked up beside him and sat down, causing Kain's consciousness to return to normal.

"Nothing, why do you ask?"

"Sometimes, I see you absent-minded, your mood seems quite... tought? I think so."

"Nothing to worry about, Myra, I'm just concentrating."

Kain shook his head, signaling Myra not to worry, which she was indeed worrying about.

Myra smiled weakly, also appearing somewhat relieved.

She seemed to want to say something more, but both of them were interrupted by Mera's painful groan.

Kain and Myra rushed over to her, Mera was now hugging her own legs, gritting her teeth to endure the pain.

Kain checked Mera's leg, relieved that she didn't have a broken leg or anything like that, her leg was simply out of action and had temporarily "gone on strike". With just some rest and treatment from Myra's [Life Magic], she should be completely healed and able to move around normally.

Seeing Mera's expression gradually soften as Myra used [Heal], a hint of guilt crossed Kain's eyes.

"Sorry guys…"

Kain had suggested the best strategy for them to follow, but strategy is strategy, reality is reality, his strategy was probably the most suitable for the current situation, but not for his teammates.

"You don't have to feel guilty Kain, because we know that you tried your best. Honestly, getting injured in a Dungeon is normal, I'm even more surprised that we came all the way here without receiving any damage."

Myra spoke in a slightly humorous tone, but in her heart, this journey with Kain had truly left her amazed.

Kain smiled awkwardly, he stood up and said.

"You two rest here, I'll go scout around."

He decided to let the two girls get some rest before continuing their journey. Meanwhile, Kain would go hunting.

Simulating the map in his mind, Kain slowly began to check the surroundings in a circular area. Even though he was hunting, keeping his two teammates safe was still Kain's top priority.

For Roc, Kain simply destroyed all the Eyels on its body and lured it away. As for Moled, if the number of monsters was less than five, Kain would not hesitate to attack and destroy them all.

The combat process is also very simple, after determining the location and number of enemies, Kain will launch [Thunder Bullet] to injure and paralyze them, then use his dagger to deal with each monster one by one. If he cannot deal with all of them in one turn, Kain simply repeats the paralysis ability and everything continues like that.

Even when he saw many Moleds or Rocs gathered in one place, Kain would use [Thunder Summon] to attack on a large scale. Because [Thunder Summon] had reached level 6, the power of this magic skill was not bad. Coupled with [Thunder Navigation], controlling the falling direction and point of lightning was a piece of cake for him.
