After a moment of hesitation, weighing the pros and cons, Kain finally decided to upgrade his [Enhancement Body].
After all, this was his first battle with a monster that could use magic, he couldn't leave too many openings.
Sometimes, small loopholes will become fatal weaknesses when fighting.
[Thunder Bullet level 6] 0/7
[Enhancement Body level 2] 0/9
[Thunder Navigation level 1] 3/ 4
Feeling the power flowing from the [Enhancement Body], Kain's hands clenched, he prepared for battle.
Standing in front of the meatball-like monster's guarding area, Kain began probing with rocks to see how this monster attacked.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like this thing reacts to sound or object movement.
"Looks like I'll still have to go in myself."
He thought to himself.
As soon as Kain stepped into the monster's dominion area, it immediately transformed.
The ball of flesh literally opened up, carrying with it a giant, empty eyeball. This made Kain immediately realize the true identity of this monster.
Eyel.
Appearing like giant eyes, normally this monster will cling to a structure or other monster to move. As for being able to move on its own like the thing before him, this was the first time Kain had heard of it.
He guessed that what made Eyel move was a low-class magic skill belonging to [Air Magic], [Air Step].
Thus, there is no exception to the possibility that this monster also possesses [Air Bullet].
[Enhancement Body]
Kain used magic skills immediately, with his physical strength enhanced, his movement speed also increased.
The place where Kain was standing just now was bombarded by an [Air Bullet].
Among the basic types of [Magic Bullet], [Air Bullet] can be said to be the weakest, with no special effects and no high damage. It can be said that it is far inferior to [Thunder Bullet], the bullet with the strongest effect, or [Fire Bullet], the bullet with the highest damage.
However, the amount of [Air Bullet] that Eyel fired was truly too much!
It can be said to be almost non-stop. Causing Kain to only be able to use [Enhancement Body] to continuously dodge.
Getting hit by [Air Bullet] is fine, but once he gets hit by [Air Bullet], multiple [Air Bullet] will drown Kain.
So he absolutely cannot be hit.
[Thunder Summon]
Thunder struck the monster from above, paralyzing it for a moment. Taking that opportunity, Kain released [Thunder Bullet] and hit Eyel.
"Success!"
Kain was clearly happy, but his whole body was still moving. With two knives, he rushed closer to the monster, planning to use physical means to kill it.
Eyel was damaged by the [Thunder Bullet] just now, suddenly, its whole body bounced upward, dodging Kain's attack.
This is the effect of [Air Step]. It's like a temporary invisible step appears for us to step on.
But before coming here, Kain had already predicted that this monster had used [Air Step]. So the moment the monster jumped up, Kain also threw two knives hard towards the monster's eyes.
This caused the thing to close its eyes, causing the restless [Air Bullet] to pause.
"I see, I know your weakness."
Kain smiled.
Eyel can only use magic skills when its eyes are open, in other words, when its eyes are closed, this thing cannot clearly locate the enemy's position.
Eyel is a type of monster that specializes in parasites, so sometimes it only cooperates with other monsters to promote its advantages. But if this Eyel was not only larger in size than many of its brethren but also had no other monsters to support it, it would surely die.
[Thunder Bullet]
Kain shoots out Eyel's eyeball. Then use a long knife enhanced by the [Enhancement Tool] to stab Eyel to death.
The giant eyeball fell to the ground, Eyel was dead.
This battle is even easier than facing that Skeleton centipede.
Kain opened the system panel.
[Level]: 3
[Ability]:
-[Thunder Magic ★ ]:
+[Thunder Bullet level 6] 0/7 (+)
+[Thunder Summon level 2] 0/4 (+)
+[Thunder Navigation level 1] 3/ 4 (+)
-[Enhancement Magic ★ ]:
+[Enhancement Body level 2] 0/9 (+)
+[Enhancement Tool level 1] 0/12 (+)
Kain adds all three skill points to [Thunder Navigation], at least this magic skill must reach level 3 so he can feel secure in continuing to upgrade other magic skills.
[Thunder Navigation level 2] 2/ 5
After Kain defeated the guardian monster, a small hole was opened in the central area.
This is probably the entrance to the next level of the Dungeon.
It's just that Kain still doesn't want to go down there, he still has another path yet to explore.
After he encountered the monsters here, Kain realized that there were no Skeletons here. So Kain speculated that it was possible that the Skeletons that appeared in the cave near the Dungeon entrance had come from the left turn.
The entrance to the second floor of the Dungeon wouldn't close unless another guardian monster appeared, so Kain wasn't worried about this thing disappearing any time soon.
Kain returned to the area where there were two forks, this time he went to the left.
As he descended the stone spiral staircase, Kain reached another cave maze, which possessed a completely different atmosphere.
However, the most horrifying thing is the ridiculously large number of Skeletons. They curled up their bodies and sat quietly in a corner. Some Skeletons clung to the cave walls or ceiling.
They weren't moving, breathing or anything like that, just like rocks.
Kain immediately became tense.
Even though it was just a small area in front of him, there were about ten Skeletons. So if the cave size of the two turns was the same, Kain calculated that this place must also have up to a hundred Skeletons.
A number of Skeletons of this size would require many people to fight. Not only in terms of physical strength, but also the danger if Kain is surrounded by a large number of monsters.
"This is truly a huge problem…"
Kain sighed, he decided to retreat.
Although [Thunder Magic] can still affect the Skeletons, the paralysis effect will be greatly reduced. If you want to fight Skeletons, [Fire Magic] is the best magic system.
Kain returned to the turn, back to the right-hand turn. He then jumped down to the entrance leading to the second floor of the Dungeon.
