My Level Zero System

Hector only felt the world spinning, his vision was completely blurred. Then came the excruciating pain as his arms were severely injured. At the last moment, he made the right decision, which was not to be stubborn, but to let go of the greatsword, jump back to reduce the force, and at the same time, put out both hands to block.

Even so, Hector still felt extremely numb.

He looked at the huge Nightcrawler monster slowly approaching, looking at its terrifying figure, he couldn't help but feel a terrifying pressure.

"How could such a thing exist?"

A baseless question popped into Hector's head.

This is a silly question, because monsters have always existed.

However, the content of this question is not really important, what is important is... once this question arises, it means that the seed of fear in Hector's mind has begun to take root.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Suddenly.

"Come back to me, you idiot!"

Kain shouted, making a bow motion even though he didn't have a bow with him.

No, he always had a bow.

The lightning net that Nightcrawler had broken through had not yet disappeared, and lightning was still scattered everywhere. And under Kain's command, the lightning began to spiral and roll back from his arm, creating a lightning arrow that was placed on the invisible bow created from Kain's force field.

Mid-class magic skill, [Thunder Arrow].

"Don't you have magic resistance? Come here and try taking this..."

Kain muttered, then he let go.

The lightning arrow seemed to be released, shooting towards the Nightcrawler at a terrifying speed, followed by a thunderous explosion. The Nightcrawler crossed its arms to block, but the nature of the lightning meant that no matter what defensive stance it used, it would still get hit.

As the [Thunder Arrow] collided with the monster, exploding into a beam of lightning that shot across all directions, the monster with pitch-black skin was also sent flying elsewhere, life or death unknown.

But even if they had pulled out the deepest nail, that didn't mean they were safe. Because Kain's lightning net had collapsed, the remaining Crawlers began to swarm in like a swarm of bees.

Kain only had time to pull Hector's still aching body up and run back to treat him. A breached defense line could still be retaken, but if someone died, everything was lost.

"Sorry... I bothered you."

Hector bowed his head, dejectedly speaking. Kain just shook his head.

"To be honest, I didn't think it would appear so soon, to the point where we would suffer such a big loss."

Kain said in a low voice, it seems that after many years of abandonment, the entire lonely fortress has turned into a nest of monsters. I really don't know how many more horrors are hidden here.

…

After hearing Hector's explanation of the situation earlier, he and Kain went on the defensive. Everyone was surprised that Kain had already become a mid-class Magus, but Mera noticed one more detail.

"Hey! Isn't Kain injured too? What is he doing running out there?"

"Sister! Watch over here for me!"

Almost instinctively, Mera ran outside, not even giving Myra time to react and stop her.

At the same time, Kain was walking in the mist.

His breathing was somewhat heavy, and the muscles on his face occasionally twitched, proving that the injury was not as simple and light as Kain had previously expressed.

It was only natural, after all Nightcrawler's physical strength was too terrifying, if it weren't for that shield, he would have been torn alive.

However, Kain's ability to control his body was still excellent. Even though he was injured, his steps were not frivolous, and his movements were not superfluous. This was not only the result of his hard physical training, but also due to his past experiences.

Back in the day, when Kain was still hunting in the forest near his village, not every hunt was a success.

The most dangerous thing is probably hunting wild boars. Don't underestimate this animal just because it is related to "pigs". This one is incredibly strong, especially when it goes berserk when cornered, Kain has suffered a lot while hunting wild boars.

And thanks to his experience being hit by objects at least twice his own weight many times over, Kain has learned how to maintain his balance after receiving extremely strong blows, such as the attack just now from Nightcrawler.

Just as Kain was halfway outside the defense lines, he saw a tall figure emerge from the mist.

None other than Nightcrawler.

Looking at its staggering figure and slightly hanging arms, Kain knew that this was the Nightcrawler that had taken a direct hit from his [Thunder Arrow] earlier.

This thing is not dead yet.

Kain could not help but feel troubled for a moment.

[Thunder Arrow] was his trump card to deal with Nightcrawler, the casting speed was fast enough, the attack speed was also fast enough, the power of this magic skill had also been shown.

But it seems that is still not enough, still lacking a little more.

Kain was silent, watching the Nightcrawler charging towards him.

This monster recognized him.

It shifted from bipedal to quadrupedal, charging at Kain with the force of a locust. As for Kain, he only raised his hand to draw his bow, sharpness flowing through his golden pupils, no matter how much physical pain tormented Kain, the deep calm in those eyes remained unchanged.

[Thunder Arrow].

At Kain's call, lightning tore through the void, becoming a weapon at his command. The lightning arrow twisted, then was released with a snap of his fingers.

Its aim was straight for the monster's forehead.

To make sure this arrow would hit its target, Kain even risked waiting until a suitable distance before striking.

This time, the monster was finally unable to resist the magical power.

Its head was roasted from the inside out, and its massive, charging body lost its center of command and collapsed, sliding a long distance along the ground until it landed near Kain's feet.

He won by a narrow margin.
