My Level Zero System

Having gained two more skill points, Kain added the rest to level up [Thunder Summon].

Right now, Kain felt like he had just a little bit of self-defense in this Dungeon.

After all, just the monsters in the outermost area were enough to make Kain struggle, so it was hard to imagine what else would be inside.

"If I had the [Enhancement Tool], perhaps the bow and arrow and knife could have a greater effect."

Kain had thought about this, but ten skill points was quite a lot. I don't know when he will accumulate enough.

So... in the end we have to enter the Dungeon!

Kain packed up his weapons and went deeper into the Dungeon.

The deeper he went inside, the more dense the glowing grass became, making Kain's vision much improved. He also saw herbs here, but because he had no knowledge in this field, he did not touch them.

Other than those things, of course they're all monsters.

It seems that this Dungeon has quite a few Skeletons, except for the "human-shaped" Skeletons that Kain met, he also saw Skeletons using the skeletons of other animals as skeletons.

In terms of difficulty to deal with, they are quite similar, except for dog-shaped Skeletons, these Skeletons can be said to be the weakest.

Kain just kept moving forward. If he only encountered a single target, he would only use the long knife and [Enhancement Body] once in a short time. If he encounters Skeletons with a number of two or more, Kain will repeat the old strategy, dividing the Skeletons into smaller parts to destroy each part one by one.

A long day, eight skill points, quite good, but Kain was still not satisfied with this result.

It was just that a whole day of fighting made him tired, so he decided to rest right inside the Dungeon.

Kain found a block of rock close to the cave wall, then placed his back there. This place temporarily shielded two corners for him, so there was some guarantee of safety.

As for comfort, definitely not. Stone fragments and thorny protrusions scratched Kain's back, making him quite uncomfortable. But for someone like Kain who is used to sleeping on grass and sleeping on the ground, it's not such a big deal.

Outside, you still have to watch out for wild animals, but wild animals don't dare enter the Dungeon. And the monsters in the surrounding area have been cleaned up by Kain, so unless you're very unlucky, sleeping like this is quite safe.

Time passed, quickly it was midnight.

Kain was suddenly awakened by strange noises.

He instinctively held his breath, carefully listening to everything around him.

"This place is supposed to be just me, right?"

Kain whispered in his heart.

The sound he heard was like the sound of using a hard object to hit stone. And it happens at a fairly even rhythm.

Based on the sound, this is probably the sound of bones hitting stone.

Skeletons?

Kain frowned, slowly poking his head out of the rock he chose as a sleeping place.

And Kain saw a hideous creature.

To describe it, it looks like a centipede made up of dozens of skeletons assembled together, the forearm bones acting as the centipede's legs, and of course many skulls and ribs. The estimated length of the Skeleton must be ten meters.

What was even more similar to a centipede was that this thing was crawling on the ceiling of the cave, moving its bony legs to move from one place to another.

Kain couldn't help but feel a shiver.

"What the hell is this?"

Kain wondered in his mind.

But there wasn't much time for him to exclaim, Kain had to deal with this first.

Because the grass glows, there is no difference between day or night in the Dungeon. In other words, once that Skeleton centipede crawled over Kain's head, he would definitely be discovered.

Kain's plan is... to strike first!

Because the one who strikes first can gain the advantage.

[Thunder Bullet]

The small ball of lightning hit the "head" of the Skeleton centipede, causing it to immediately be paralyzed and slide off the cave ceiling. Taking that opportunity, Kain activated [Thunder Summon] to rain down thunder all over the cave. The body of this monster.

He could not know where this Skeleton's heart was because of its special structure. However, he could determine which part this Skeleton would prioritize protecting.

That is the Skeleton's heart.

"Is it the middle part of the body? That's a Skeleton."

Kain clicked his tongue when he saw that Skeleton could still recover in an instant after receiving [Thunder Bullet] and [Thunder Summon] in its entirety.

It rushed to attack Kain, at least three skulls opened as if wanting to devour him. But Kain immediately used [Enhancement Body] to dodge this attack.

[Thunder Bullet]

After paralyzing the Skeleton again, Kain rushed towards the middle of the Skeleton's body while his strength was still enhanced by [Enhancement Body]. He aimed precisely at the Skeleton's heart, and a knife stabbed down hard.

It's just that, upon impact with the protective bone layer, Kain's knife broke in half.

"Damned!"

Kain had to step back again, avoiding the Skeleton centipede's tail attack.

"This thing's protective bones have surpassed those of other normal Skeletons!"

"If only I had the [Enhancement Tool] here..."

Kain fought and ran, thinking about how to deal with this thing. Taking advantage of the Skeleton centipede's endurance, I was afraid that even if Kain used magic until exhausted, he wouldn't be able to kill it.

Unless…

Kain carefully observed the structure of the Skeleton centipede and suddenly discovered a problem.

This Skeleton's outer protective bone is surprisingly tough, but the inside is not.

From its mouth, Kain saw that it seemed like the gap from the mouth was connected directly to the heart without any protection.

This is not inherently a problem, because the distance between the mouth and the heart is up to five meters in a straight line. Even if the long sword stabbed into the Skeleton centipede's mouth, it would have no effect at all.

But doesn't Kain have a very suitable weapon here?

Something that could be launched at high speed, something that was slender enough to squeeze through all the jagged structures inside the Skeleton centipede.

What Kain was thinking about was an arrow.
