"I'm not trying to be a hero, I'm just trying to create the best possible scenario."
"Mera, you have an injury to your leg, which will greatly limit your mobility, which is extremely dangerous when facing Moled, especially when those things can crash into the ground and bypass your magical defense skill [Earth Wall]."
"Myra, in order to heal us, you also lost a lot of energy."
"Although you are injured, the injury to your wrist does not affect my speed and ability to use magic."
"I know, you two can still continue to support me, but that is in the case that I can attract all of Moled and let you two face an opponent like Roc. But I can't, there are too many of them."
"Then do it."
Kain spoke a lot, and very quickly, making his voice sound emotionless. But his eyes were completely frank and sincere.
While Mera was still hesitating, Myra quickly withdrew her hand. Unlike her sister, she was much more rational, and Kain had also analyzed the entire situation.
Before leaving, Mera saw Kain turn away, she saw the corner of his mouth curl up, seemingly smiling. Was it relief, denial, or something else... Mera didn't know, and even Kain didn't know.
Because it was just a light breeze that passed by very quickly, and the upcoming storm was just the monsters that had approached his attack position. [Thunder Summon].
Lightning bolts shot out from the void as if coming from another dimension, forming a lightning bolt that struck the entire horde of monsters at Kain's command.
The power of the Max level [Thunder Summon] was indeed extraordinary, to the point that even Moled, who was hiding underground, couldn't avoid the fate of being paralyzed.
But this only lasted for a short while, Kain always took advantage of every opportunity, so he charged forward.
Seeing Moled intending to circle around him and chase after the two girls who were leaving, Kain did not hesitate to perform another [Thunder Summon].
He stood in the midst of the thunder, his face cold and fearless, Kain's long silver hair fluttering, and his golden pupils slightly narrowed.
A Moled tried to attack him from underground, but Kain had already predicted it.
He jumped back, just enough distance for the monster's huge mouth to not swallow him whole.
Then, Kain simply used his dagger, like a chef skillfully cutting fish, and the "fish" used its own strength to make a large incision on its body with the dagger.
And when the distance was large enough, Kain switched from slashing to stabbing, ending the monster's life.
During this short period of time, he had to keep an eye on whether Myra and Mera had run far enough, and any monster attracted to their escape route would be Kain's main target. [Thunder Summon].
Using [Thunder Summon] for the third time, Kain gradually felt fatigue on his body, it was obvious that a wide-range magic skill with not too weak power like [Thunder Summon] was not something that could be used indiscriminately.
But the effect of this magic skill was still very obvious. Seeing that his two comrades had run far enough, Kain stopped his aggressive attacks and switched to guerrilla warfare.
Instead of continuously using [Thunder Magic] to paralyze and damage the enemies, Kain focused more on using [Enhancement Body], his observation and analysis skills to control all the enemies.
Only in very rare moments did Kain use [Thunder Bullet] to escape danger.
Here, Kain took advantage of Roc's attack to injure Moled by timing Moled's charge to coincide with Roc's giant rock arm's strike.
Kain quickly jumped back to avoid Moled's sudden attack, just as Roc's massive body rushed forward to attack.
Monsters do not attack monsters, however this rule is not absolute. Otherwise, people would use monsters as shields.
This behavior was like balancing on a thin wire, so although the monster's movements were relatively predictable, Kain was still under a great deal of pressure. [Thunder Bullet].
After successfully stunning a Moled, the dagger in Kain's hand did not stop, but only used two stabs to pierce the monster's most important part, quickly taking its life.
Originally only one stab, now Kain had to use two stabs, equivalent to two charges just to kill a monster, enough to understand how tired he was.
The strength in his body gradually decreased, his muscles also gradually tired, the arm holding the dagger and the toes that bore the weight also slightly ached.
[Body Enhancement] could not be so comprehensive that it made Kain's body limitless, this magical skill only increased the limit.
Even using magical skills consumed energy, and consuming energy would also burden both the body and mind, just like when Kain was unconscious for a while due to energy exhaustion.
There were many signs that Kain was approaching his limit.
But was that true? That he was weakening?
No, Kain did not feel that way. On the contrary, he felt sharper, his senses more sensitive, his mind working more frantically.
Kain understood, this was what was called "survival instinct". It was the state of an individual cornered, a prey facing the claws of a predator.
Countless paths appeared before Kain's eyes, as if by some mysterious force only Kain knew exactly what he should do.
He backed away, jumped high, and turned around. He stepped forward, crouched, and swung his dagger. He was like a dancer, with a deadly dance among monsters.
It was clear that Kain was the one who was overwhelmed by the sheer number of monsters, but it seemed like he was the wolf released into the sheep.
It was crazy, but also very artistic. However, Kain was not completely absorbed in his own dance. He still remembered the task he had set for himself before going into battle. Buy time and run.
After killing the sixth Moled, the monster encirclement loosened and Kain took the opportunity to escape. As the saying goes, he was a "born hunter".
He not only knew where his prey was, but he also knew where he was.
