Extreme hunger and thirst, the threat of death not only did not distract Kain, but on the contrary, made his senses even sharper.
Just like the teenager before, with only a knife and a bow and arrow in hand, he fell into the Dungeon.
He has no way back, if he fails he will die.
The Reaper standing before Kain was not his enemy, but his prey. Likewise, Kain is also the Reaper's prey.
Who is the true hunter will be decided at this time.
Every time the Reaper's scythe slashed, Kain seemed just a thin line away from death.
But Kain still did not die. Death seemed just a moment away from taking his life, but death also seemed like it could never touch him.
He had no fear, only extreme calm.
Just as the Reaper's scythe was about to slice Kain's body in half, the monster suddenly stopped.
From the previous battle, Kain realized that this Reaper had much more fighting instinct than other monsters. That's why that thing sensed the danger of [Thunder Bullet] and blocked this magic skill instead of continuing to try to kill him.
So Kain knew that once his plan was completed, he wouldn't die.
[Thunder Summon] was deployed, but not just one [Thunder Summon], but many [Thunder Summon] descended at the same time.
Although the Reaper could treat [Thunder Summon] as just scratching an itch, would that thing dare to consider so many [Thunder Summon] falling at the same time as scratching an itch?
The answer is no.
The Reaper tried to resist, but with a multi-target magic skill like [Thunder Summon], resisting by swinging a scythe seemed like a farce.
Very quickly, the Reaper slowed down, the paralysis effect took effect.
[Thunder Bullet]
[Thunder Bullet] as high as level 9 hit the Reaper, now this thing had no way to escape.
[Enhancement Body], [Enhancement Tool]
Kain used two more magic skills at the same time to rush towards the Reaper, the two knives in Kain's hand stabbed straight into the Reaper's eye sockets. Finally, he raised his hand, and the final [Thunder Bullet] shot burned the monster's entire skull. No matter what's inside that thing.
The battle of life and death has ended.
Kain lay exhausted, leaning against the corner of the wall, as if the strength in his body had been drained. Hunger and fatigue were like diseases polluting Kain's reason.
However, Kain bit his lip until it bled, using pain to bring himself back to reality.
Kain stood up unsteadily and approached the Reaper's body.
Regarding getting resources from monster corpses, Kain had almost no experience, but he could still see that the Reaper's scythe and the Reaper's skin were good products.
The Reaper's scythe still inherits the necrotic property. Kain didn't know whether if he heated this scythe and mixed it with the tip of an arrow, the arrow would have the same properties, but it was worth Kain's test.
As for the Reaper's skin, needless to say, the skin is quite durable, resistant to sharp weapons.
Just a little disgusting.
Kain hesitated for a few seconds, then he took the Reaper's scythe and peeled off the skin that covered the Reaper like a cloak. Then tie both items together and hold them in your hand.
Because Kain defeated the guardian monster, the exit appeared, a door was on the other side of the room, opposite the door to the room, this was the door leading to the first floor of the Dungeon.
The entrance leading to the third floor of the Dungeon also appeared in the center of the room in the form of a deep hole, just like on the first floor of the Dungeon.
With his current state, Kain can only return to the first floor.
Like the entrance, the exit of the Dungeon also made Kain feel like a distortion of space.
Kain returned to the stone spiral staircase on the first floor of the Dungeon.
After that, he returned to the cave connected to the Dungeon entrance.
On the way, Kain encountered Skeletons that appeared to block his way, but they were all dealt with by Kain.
Finally, he felt the sunlight.
The light is still the same light, but Kain feels extremely new.
It turns out he's been underground killing monsters for three weeks.
Kain lay back on the ground, his eyes looking up at the sky. No matter how dazzling the light was, to Kain, the sky was still a hundred times better than the stuffy and dark atmosphere under the Dungeon.
Others looking at Kain's actions at this time would think he was having mental problems, but only Kain could understand what he was doing.
Finally, Kain stood up again, holding his bow and arrow to hunt.
Cut the meat, light the fire, then the gravy. Seeing the shiny layer of fat boiling between the muscle fibers, Kain felt that perhaps at this moment he was truly alive.
He lives in this vast and beautiful world, not below that dark Dungeon.
Kain spent that day just resting.
It wasn't until the next morning that he opened the system panel.

The Reaper probably raised him to 7 or 8 [Level], the rest was due to the Skeletons blocking his path.
With 11 skill points, Kain didn't think much and upgraded [Thunder Bullet]
[Thunder Bullet level Max]
The skill point bonus icon has completely disappeared, the number representing the level has also disappeared, replaced by "Max".
"So that means… level 10 is the maximum for magic skills?"
Kain thinks his assessment is correct.
With the only remaining skill point, Kain added [Thunder Navigation].
Currently, Kain has officially obtained a magic skill of Max level.

Kain temporarily doesn't want to go to the Dungeon anymore, because he has an appointment with Myra to go to Whesling City to meet her a month later. Now three weeks have passed. If Kain hadn't left, he wouldn't have made it in time.
Kain prepared all the necessities, including dried meat he made himself and drinking water. Finally, he glanced at the entrance of the Dungeon, perhaps in the future he would return to this place and completely defeat this Dungeon.
