My Level Zero System

Back to a while ago.

Kain still maintained his lightning network, each [Thunder Bullet] appeared like a chain link of the network, just waiting for the Crawler to rush forward and activate.

Of course, Kain wouldn't protect himself too tightly either, because after a period of fighting, Kain had carefully observed and discovered that the behavior of these people was actually very intelligent, even compared to wild beasts. The pure desire to kill of the monsters was still there, but they also knew to seek benefits and avoid harm, not foolishly rushing forward to die in vain.

So within his electromagnetic net, Kain opened up passages that looked like gaps for the Crawlers to enter, giving them the impression that they had a chance of reaching him.

This is quite similar to the snake trap on the fifth floor of the Dungeon before.

Everything was going pretty smoothly, except for Hector's side having a bit of trouble, but basically it was still under Kain's control. Also, there hadn't been any monsters attacking from behind so far, so this meant that Myra and Mera's defense line was still working well.

However, Kain's expression remained extremely serious, not showing any joy at all.

He shouted at Hector.

"After this, you can retreat to the rear with Myra and Mera. I can still hold this place for now by myself."

"What do you mean, I'm still pretty strong."

"I'm afraid the girls are in trouble. After all... the ferocity of this attack is more than I expected."

Speaking of this, Kain's expression darkened.

This is what he worries about most.

It may seem leisurely and easy here, but Kain is using the mid-class Magus' base to steer the battle.

In this team, except for Katie who has no combat ability, he is the only mid-class Magus. The rest are only at the intermediate level.

Faced with such a fierce attack, it was inevitable that they would not be able to maintain their position.

Just like Hector now, don't look at the way he's killing monsters so majestically, if Kain wasn't behind him controlling the battle, he would absolutely be torn alive in a few minutes by the overwhelming wave of monsters.

However, what they were up against was not a horde of Zombies or Skeletons, but a horde of bloodthirsty and warlike Crawlers.

Feeling that the situation had calmed down a bit, Kain activated the system, displaying a status board that he hadn't seen in a long time.

But Kain could not help but admit that this dangerous place had brought him a huge profit.

It is true that danger goes hand in hand with opportunity.

With a little consideration, he still decided to invest in [Enhancement Magic]. In fact, with this speed of accumulating skill points, Kain wanted to upgrade his strongest magic even more.

However, after thinking about the current situation, Kain still decided to choose [Enhancement Magic].

[Enhancement Tool level Max] (+132)

"There are still 5 skill points left..."

Kain thought to himself, conveniently adding these five skill points to [Thunder Control].

[Thunder Control level 1] 5/250 (+5)

And after Kain successfully upgraded both magic skills under [Enhancement Magic] to Max level, a new transformation occurred in these lines.

[Enhancement Magic ★] 0/1500:

The price to upgrade from [★] to [★★] has 500 skill points more than the previous [Thunder Magic].

"It's really a waste of skill points."

Kain thought to himself.

Suddenly, he felt a shiver run down his spine, the blood in his entire body seemed to boil for a moment, and his heartbeat also accelerated violently.

Kain knew, this was his body's instinct when reacting to danger.

He looked straight ahead, where a huge, mighty monster was charging towards him like a rabid boar. It had red eyes, rough, black skin, a muscular body, and was almost twice Kain's height.

His expression changed, because he knew what this thing was.

Nightcrawler.

The monster charged into the electromagnetic net created by Kain, enduring countless [Thunder Bullet] shots and the relentless pressure from [Thunder Summon]. However, the monster's speed did not slow down at all, it was not paralyzed or roasted, but continued to run through the place where countless Crawler corpses had been buried before as if it were deserted.

Great physical strength coupled with overpowered magic resistance gave this monster its purest fear, which was destruction.

Very quickly, the monster moved so close to Kain that Kain could almost smell the monster's foul breath in his nostrils.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Nightcrawler raised its arm, five claws protruding and delivering a devastating blow. At that moment, Kain pulled out the round shield from behind his back, just in time to block the spot where the Nightcrawler's hand landed.

[Enhancement Body].

[Enhancement Tool].

Both magic skills had reached max level and were activated. Causing Kain to now reach the strongest defense state he could possibly have.

He concentrated all the power of the [Enhancement Tool] on the round shield, making the heavy shield made of refined steel even more solid. [Enhancement Body] was focused on the arms, especially the wrists. Then the shoulders, hips, and finally the knees and heels to maintain a solid defensive stance.

But when the Nightcrawler's attack hit, Kain was still knocked back from his original position.

He felt as if his lungs had just stopped beating, his whole body was numb beyond description, as if a large rock had fallen on him.

When he looked back, the outer surface that had received Nightcrawler's pounce was completely deformed.

"Kain!"

Hector shouted, hurriedly holding his great sword and rushing to the rescue, but Kain quickly shouted loudly.

"Don't come any closer!"

Even with that quick reaction, Kain was still a beat behind.

Only to see the monster had one hand grabbing Hector's greatsword that was slashing down, the other hand was swinging horizontally to attack him.
