My Level Zero System

Chapter 43 Catch up behind

Looking at the system, Kain could hardly hide his disappointment and let out a sigh.

The exchange is not equal in value.

One Roc, four Moleds, a total of 8 skill points. It looked like a lot, but to destroy this Roc, he had to temporarily lose the use of one of his arms. But if his arms are still perfect, 8 skill points shouldn't be too hard to get.

Kain's entire team rested early again, but the complexions of all three of their team members were not good at all. Mera's leg was still not healed, now Kain's arm was also injured.

Seeing his two teammates' moods drop, Kain was forced to cheer them up.

"It's okay you two, I expected this."

This was not just an empty statement to comfort others, he had actually expected it.

As for the reason why it was not done before, it is very simple, the benefits gained were not enough to offset the losses.

Unless it was a situation like today, Kain didn't want to fight Roc at all.

"We'll rest here temporarily until all the members recover, do you two have any objections?"

Myra and Mera did not object, Kain had thought things through after all, and everyone was quite tired after a tense battle.

Kain had already thought about it, if Myra was forced to quickly heal him and Mera before setting off again, Myra would be drained of energy and temporarily disabled, and would not even be able to use magic skills. If that happened, Kain's team would lose their most powerful attacking member.

So, Kain was forced to slow down their pace. This time, Myra would use [Heal] in parallel with resting to recover her energy. That way, when both Myra and Kain recovered from their injuries, all three of them would be in the best condition to set out.

Myra brought her hands up to Kain's wound, and a bright green light appeared faintly.

Kain could feel something change in his body.

Kain closed his eyes, using his own sensitivity to sense the biological changes within his body.

The human body has a biological system that allows for self-healing. And the magic skill [Heal] seems to be able to control this biological system to a certain extent, actively forcing this biological system to focus on healing in a certain aspect. That is also the reason why the skin is the easiest to heal.

Silently calculating the extent of his injuries, Kain guessed that the party would need at least two more days of rest.

After Kain was partially healed, he stood up again and prepared to "scout around." Seeing that, Myra quickly reached out to stop him.

"No! You can't do that, you're injured."

"Don't worry about me, it's just a wrist, I can still handle it."

Kain smiled and reassured Myra, but she was not so easily convinced.

Finally, Kain had to promise to return within a specified period of time before Myra let him leave.

This time, Kain also expanded the scope of the exploration in a circular pattern with the center being the team's resting area. He planned to hunt down as many Moled as possible, so that [Thunder Summon] could increase to max level as quickly as possible.

However, because Kain had injured one of his arms, his monster hunting speed was also greatly limited. Even the maximum number of monsters he could face at once was reduced from five to three. Kain was forced to give up some valuable targets with regret.

[Level]: 16

[Ability]:

-[Thunder Magic ? ]:

+[Thunder Bullet level Max]

+[Thunder Summon level 9] 6/11 (+8)

+[Thunder Navigation level Max]

+[Enhancement Tool level 1] 0/12

Even though he was gaining a lot of skill points, Kain was not happy at all.

It seemed that the impact from that battle was greater than he thought, many monsters in the surrounding area were attracted here.

This is not good, if not very bad.

Kain looked towards the campsite with a grim expression, then looked back in the opposite direction, seemingly having decided something.

He suddenly turned back, that right, turned back.

Because Myra and Mera were not around, Kain could increase his movement speed to the maximum, he was like a wind running through the rocks.

Finally, Kain returned to a battle site the day before, where the traces were still very fresh.

Only, his eyes quickly changed to an extremely serious state.

In the area where the battle had taken place, a group of people dressed in black, their entire bodies covered, were standing there, seemingly looking at something.

"How the hell did they get here so fast?"

Kain wondered in his heart, then he immediately deduced it.

That was the direction of the monsters' movement, monsters with sensitive senses were attracted by the shockwaves.

Kain felt very helpless, he had expected this situation, even expected the assassins to come chasing after them, but he didn't know the assassins would come so quickly.

To be exact, without knowing when, the assassins were already chasing right behind them.

"One, two, three, four…"

Kain hid behind a rock, silently counting the number of assassins present. Kain's eyes were filled with cruelty, he wanted to kill all the assassins here to temporarily cut off their path of advance.

But when he looked down at his still bandaged arm, he hesitated.

In the end, Kain gave up on trying to stop the assassin here. He stealthily left.

But as soon as Kain left, something terrible happened.

At some point, all the assassins turned their heads and looked in the direction where Kain had just hidden. Myra had previously hypothesized that these assassins were all puppets of a high-class Magus with the magic skill [Mind Control]. Therefore, these people had all somehow inherited the Magus's keen mental senses, causing them to detect Kain just because he had looked at them.

And then, the assassins began to move, preparing for a new hunt.

They smelled their prey.
