My Level Zero System

If the leader monster's goal is to protect itself, there are better ways, and they don't necessarily need to be complicated.

So, there is only one explanation.

That is, it can only control a small portion of the monsters. It is the Pythonels that are hiding inside the gap in that stone pillar.

It couldn't control all the monsters, so it could only use this method to maximize the advantage it held, using just a few simple steps to use a small number of monsters to take advantage of all the monsters' strength. Instead of letting the few monsters it controlled charge at the enemy like sacrificial pawns,

And at this point, Kain's thinking deepened even further.

So why can the leader monster only control a few monsters?

It should be noted that the Salamander leader on the fourth floor literally commanded all the Salamanders on that floor, so this had nothing to do with thinking ability.

So Kain thought that it was very possible that the leader monster on the fifth floor was under some kind of restriction.

Kain had a vague guess, but he still needed confirmation.

The next day, Kain's rampage continued.

The obstacles still appeared like yesterday, but the difference between the paths had been reduced to zero. That is, no matter which path Kain chose to take, or which obstacle he cleared, the things he had to go through were all the same.

After knowing Kain's power, it seems the leader monster limited the damage with this stalling strategy.

This proves two things.

First, this monster leader not only thinks deeply, but also reacts quite quickly.

Second, the case where the monster leader set a trap because he felt like it was there was no way, because if that was true, then after Kain displayed such a threatening power, the monster should have used all its strength to destroy him. It would absolutely not have just changed what was already there like this. Find your next read at empire

It is also unreasonable to argue that this monster leader does not fear Kain's power, because if it truly did not fear, it would not have had to change its strategy. And it would be a strategy that was aimed at wearing down Kain's strength.

It could be said that every move the monster made presented some kind of information to Kain, whether it was what to do or not to do.

This is the dominance from a higher strategic perspective.

Today, the intensity of the attacks was a bit stronger, but it still couldn't trouble Kain. This stalling tactic, although not bad, only bought Kain a little more time to move. To put it bluntly, the effect wasn't that big.

And another day, Kain reaped a bounty of skill points.

[Thunder Magic ★] 999/1000 (+56)

He only lacks one skill point!

Kain was a little agitated, but he quickly calmed down. Right now, he could immediately go out, kill some monsters, and gain one last skill point to fill it up, but he was in no hurry.

Just a little more to go anyway.

In a journey, the first steps can be difficult, the middle steps can be exciting, but the final steps are strangely serene.

In the end, it was just another step, Kain was still far from the top.

Kain rested like that, ending the third day in peace.

…

Fourth day on the fifth floor of the Dungeon.

Kain, after killing a few monsters to gain a skill point, added the last skill point to [Thunder Magic].

And then, the transformation happened.

Kain felt his whole body tremble, his vision became blurry, no, it should be said that it became clearer. In Kain's eyes, the world in his perception was filled with countless curves, he didn't know what these curves were, but he felt that these things were extremely, extremely meaningful.

His consciousness, or rather his ego, seemed to have been freed from some kind of restriction, becoming filled with mystery and power.

Just as Kain reached out to touch it, everything suddenly disappeared, and his consciousness returned to reality.

"Did I just... experience sublimation?"

Kain wondered, his mind recalling something he had read in a book at Kanzax Academy.

Sublimation state.

The timing is random, the target is also random, but most of the cases where sublimation occurs are in Magus, and moreover, it is Magus in a state of advancing to a higher level, for example, Kain just now evolved from low-class to mid-class.

Long ago, the sages, the seekers of knowledge, the wise Magus who spent all year studying how the world works, knew that this world was not as simple as it appeared. They learned that this world contained many different phases, and the material world was merely one of the manifested phases.

Some of the neighboring phases to the material world include the spiritual phase, the invisible world of spiritual waves, or space itself, a phase that supports the existence of the material phase. Or the time phase, which helps everything move and progress.

And the state of sublimation is when you are stripped of the mundane and one-sided perception of the material phase, and thus see the other phases, now unveiled.

Each sublimation is different, because everything is abstract and vague, many people don't even understand what they saw. This can be compared to a newborn baby opening its eyes to see this world, for a newborn baby, this world is also full of complexity and incomprehension that it must gradually learn.

Kain thought back, that world filled with curves was not like the spirit phase, nor was it like the space phase and time phase. For now, he still did not know what it was.

But putting these abstract issues aside, Kain looked towards the system, and the change he had been waiting for appeared.
