My Level Zero System

Chapter 47 Secret showdown

From the moment she saw the swamp area, Myra felt goosebumps all over her body.

She doesn't like this place, she really doesn't like it.

Before, although Kain had repeatedly exaggerated this area so that the team could prepare mentally, but upon arriving, she realized that the things described in words were indeed far different from the reality when she saw it with her own eyes.

Here, the amount of glowing grass is greatly reduced, making the visibility in this area even more obscure.

The roads that cross the swamp are very narrow, just wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through. Besides, these small paths are not completely flat but still have a certain roughness, the edges of the roads are covered with green moss and are slippery, if you accidentally step on them you will fall into the swamp.

There is no need to even step on the edge of the road, even other parts of the road require careful walking.

"Luckily, there's no need to worry about getting lost here."

Myra thought to herself.

Compared to Myra who was still focused on thinking of a way to get through this place, Mera appeared much more disheartened. This was not unreasonable, even though the age difference between the two sisters was not too far, but Myra had become an Adventurer who traveled everywhere, she had also seen dead people more than a few times. On the contrary, Mera still lived a safe and prosperous life, almost without any burden on her life. The most serious thing for Mera was only injury, not death.

Seeing this, Myra could only reluctantly comfort her little sister with "unreal" visions.

"Mera, don't be too sad. Kain is much stronger than us, he most likely escaped the assassins."

"If we don't find a body, it means that Kain probably escaped. So once we've completed the trial, we can go back and find him."

Myra said with a slightly reluctant smile, but Mera believed it was true.

People who are mentally broken are the hardest to convince, but also the easiest to convince as long as you do it right, this case is no exception.

Sure enough, Mera was more cheerful, at least on the outside.

Myra sighed silently in her heart, she had deceived her sister.

After a certain period of time, the corpses left in the Dungeon will be swallowed by the Dungeon, disappearing without a trace.

Mera doesn't remember this, but Myra does.

So it was likely that by the time they returned, Kain's body would be gone, buried here forever as a mystery that could never be solved. And Mera would still live with the belief that he had escaped, until she knew.

It was cruel, but Myra thought it was necessary.

Just feel sorry for Kain.

[Level]: 9

[Ability]:

-[Thunder Magic ? ] 0/1000 (+):

+[Thunder Bullet level Max]

+[Thunder Summon level Max]

+[Thunder Navigation level Max]

-[Enhancement Magic ? ]:

+[Enhancement Body level 5] 0/13 (+)

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

He currently has 9 skill points, not much, so Kain plans to continue "investing" in [Enhancement Magic].

[Enhancement Body level 5] 9/13 (+9)

It can't be helped, [Enhancement Body] is the most useful thing, at least when fighting against many opponents, Kain won't be crushed by the larger number of enemies.

A fierce bandit looks very overwhelming and strong, But if three ordinary farmers surround the bandits, the bandits will be defeated. This is the effect of numbers in close combat.

Now the positions between hunter and prey have been reversed, but Kain will not be complacent that he can do everything and that he will surely win.

Must know that Kain counted at least thirty different footsteps by pressing his ear to the ground when he pretended to be dead.

Adding on to the assassins from earlier, the number of enemies should be around fifty people.

Fifty assassins... could surround him three times and still have some left over.

If each of them thrust out a sword and a knife, Kain would die like a porcupine, in a bad way of course.

So, Kain needed to plan carefully.

He moved and thought at the same time.

Earlier on the run, Kain had tried to change direction repeatedly to confuse the assassins, but they were all able to catch up to Kain's team quickly.

So Kain speculated that the assassins, or rather the Magus controlling the assassins, had a good grasp of the terrain on the first floor of the Dungeon just like Kain, or that Magus had somehow located them.

This was not without reason, one must know that from the moment he learned that these assassins were just controlled puppets, Kain immediately predicted that there were more assassins searching for the candidates in the upside down forest. From then on, he urged the whole team to quickly leave the upside down forest, go as far as possible.

They should have left the assassins far behind and gained a lot of time, but that didn't happen.

So Kain further assumed that they had been located, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to catch up so quickly, but this was still not enough.

So as soon as he stood up, Kain walked around, the main purpose was to check if he was "located", or if the "location" on him was no longer effective. Regardless of which case it was, it can be said that Kain's plan to fake the ending was successful.

Sure enough, no more assassins came looking for him. It seemed that once he was confirmed dead, he would no longer be located.

This is a very good sign.

Now, Kain had to imagine that if he himself was the mysterious Magus, and he knew the location of Myra and Mera, then what would he do? Considering the difficult terrain of the swamp area was already known to him.

According to the description, those paths were very narrow, very very narrow. Although there were no exact figures in the Adventurer's records, but from the fact that they were still able to push their supply carts through that path, Kain thought of the type of large carts used for long-term expeditions.
