My Level Zero System

He cursed softly, while still dodging the Skeleton's bites. Because of the monster's structure, it can bend at almost any angle, making Kain's constant changing of direction less effective than usual.

[Fire Bullet].

Kain used magic, causing a few more heads of the Skeleton to fall off. Sure enough, his guess was correct, the body of this Skeleton was completely solid and sealed.

Suddenly, Kain thought of a way.

Faced with hundreds of constantly moving heads and unable to determine where the Skeleton's heart was, Kain could only come up with the "elimination" option.

Here, he will shoot a head located in the middle of the Skeleton, at which point the Skeleton will be split in two.

At this time, the part of the monster that temporarily stopped moving was the part that did not contain the heart.

Because at that time, that part of the body was disconnected from the heart, causing that part of the body to turn back into a pile of lifeless bones.

Continuing to use this method of elimination, Kain will eventually find the location of the heart with just a few [Fire Bullet] shots, instead of having to use this magic skill dozens of times.

Thinking and doing, Kain stopped dodging, he gathered his strength, causing the lightning above the monster's head to strike down, because of its huge body, the monster was unable to dodge.

[Thunder Summon].

The monster, although looking quite battered, actually didn't receive any serious damage, if anything it was just a brief moment of paralysis.

But that was all Kain needed.

He raised his hand, one eye closed to adjust his vision, and once the target was locked, the raging fireball before him shot straight towards the target he had designated.

Immediately, a chunk of the skull was burned and shattered in all directions. This caused the Skeleton's body to be split into two. The head fell to the ground and became motionless, while the monster's tail was still moving.

The monster's tail moved forward, connected with the head again, and the monster became complete as before, proving that this monster had extremely strong toughness.

Only, it was figured out by Kain.

"Got you!"

Kain asserted, if he had confirmed the way to defeat this abomination then there was no need to hesitate any longer. With a wave of Kain's hand, lightning struck again, and the whole process began again.

The monster could not understand why the human before it attacked in such a strange way. But as time went on, the monster became more and more impatient, its attacks became more and more intense, because it did not know why every time Kain attacked, he got closer and closer to the Skeleton's heart.

After all, this thing is just a monster with fighting instincts and just to fight, making it think on a higher level of combat strategy is impossible.

And then after the fourth shot, a pitch black mass, suspended inside a sealed skull, appeared before Kain's eyes.

This is the heart of Skeleton.

Because it didn't come into contact with anything, Kain's [Thunder Magic] couldn't reach it even though [Thunder Magic] was a type of magic that almost ignored physical shielding.

Before the monster could cover its weak spot, lightning struck again, destroying the heart.

The monster remains motionless for a moment, then collapsed, causing a not-so-subtle tremor.

Kain sat down on the ground, his exhaustion hard to hide.

Although his magical energy is always expanding as he focuses on training or upgrading and unlocking skills, it is not infinite.

Using too many magic skills in a short period of time still leaves him feeling as if his entire body was hollowed out, even moving a finger was difficult.

Having grasped the nature of magic, Kain knew that this was no ordinary physical fatigue.

More precisely, this is the fatigue that occurs when the mind or ego has to "work" too much. This fatigue will be reflected in the physical body.

This actually doesn't only appear in the field of magic, but some other fields have also appeared through similar cases.

For example, there was once a mysterious case of a man who was found dead of thirst in his own home, while the water reserves in his body could still keep him alive.

After this was evaluated, the final conclusion was that this man died of thirst because... his body felt that way. The body receives external influences, then responds to the mind so that the mind responds back to form physical behavior. But here, the external influences are completely eliminated, everything is self-directed and responded to the physical body.

With magic, although there are some differences in details, the core remains unchanged.

Kain took a large gulp of water, took out the food bars, and began munching to satisfy his hunger. In the meantime, he activated the system.

The amount of skill points he earned made Kain a little disappointed, but he could understand.

After all, this monster was not outstanding in all aspects except for its tenacity, even if he had overwhelming power, this Skeleton could still cause Kain great damage if he didn't use special methods.

[Heal level 1] 13/25 (+11)

Having finished arranging everything and getting enough rest, Kain entered the door leading to the fourth floor.

…

On the fourth floor of the Dungeon, a dispute was taking place.

Or rather, this is a betrayal.

"Pal! Are you crazy?"

A young man with a bleeding shoulder shouted at the person on the opposite side. But he only received a contemptuous laugh in return.

"Oh Andrew, you are still so naive..."

A pale flash of light appeared, Andrew tried to retreat backwards, but the traitor's sword still left a cut on his abdomen
