"Is that an opponent I''ll have to face?"
Kain''s expression was solemn. He wondered in his mind.
It would be a lie to say that Kain didn''t feel pressured.
Cecilia''s single strike forced Kain to use all his strength to respond. Kain couldn''t imagine what would happen if she used all her strength.
Kain sighed, then his expression returned to normal.
Now is not the time to think about such things.
His current strength is not on the same level as Cecilia''s, but that doesn''t mean it will be the same in the future.
He still has time.
…
After the chance encounter with Cecilia, the bit ofcency and leisure in Kain''s heart hadpletely disappeared.
He was no longerfortable walking, but had entered a state of moving while hiding.
Kain was looking for monster dens like Zombies, Slimes, or Skeletons. Adventurers would normally avoid those ces because those monsters wouldn''t yield any profit, and killing them would be a waste of effort. But in Kain''s eyes, those weak monsters were gold mines.
A wandering Zombie raised its head, but all it saw at thest moment was a fireball hitting its face.
With a bang, part of the Zombie''s face was burned off and deformed, the destructive force of the fireball also shattered the monster''s skull and killed it.
Kainnded from the tall tree, then pulled out his knife and jumped into battle with the surrounding zombies. These monsters smelled fresh meat and immediately became aggressive and pounced on Kain, but their easy-to-read pounces couldn''t even touch the corner of his cloak.
The two sides were so unequal that this war was nothing more than a walk in the park.
Kain only needed to take a step back to avoid the Zombie''s pounce, then suddenly stomp forward, the dagger in his hand stabbed straight into the Zombie''s eye socket and killed it.
As Kain plunged his dagger into the head of thest Zombie, the monster''s screams fell silent.
He carefully shook off the dirt on the tip of the knife, then activated the system.

Before that, he had encountered another small monster gathering ce and obtained 5 skill points, he immediately upgraded [Fire Bullet]. And the power of this magic skill made him very satisfied.
Currently, with 4 skill points remaining in hand, Kain could continue upgrading [Fire Magic] to the next level. However, he chose not to do that, instead he decided to upgrade [Fire Navigation] first.
Kain''s priority is not "more is better", his priority is to control all resources to the optimum level, from which to unleash the strongest fighting power. He does not want to be something that looks shy but is actually empty.
With that ideal, regardless of whether it was the previous [Thunder Navigation] or the current [Fire Navigation], both were necessary to him.
[Fire Navigation level 1] 1/4 (+4)
Kain calcted the time, it was probably dark outside by now.
He found a ce with enough cover and set up a tent, then took out a small stove from his luggage, some coal, some firewood, a small spark, and a cozy shelter appeared.
Because of the limited supplies, the food Kain brought didn''t even contain dried meat, only nutritious rationspressed into a food bar no bigger than two fingers.
So to add variety to the meal, Kain picked some mushrooms to grill.
He probably wouldn''t have dared to do that before, after all he had no knowledge in this area. But he had just passed a ss on identifying medicinal herbs, so knowing a little about mushrooms wasn''t strange.
Then he took out a cup, some water and started making tea.
Kain learned about this drink through Hardy''s introduction, and he had developed a liking for it before he knew it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Oh, you should try this, it can help a lot in rxing."
At that time, Kain was still under pressure from studying magic, so Hardy taught him about tea.
This made Kain sigh.
He knows a lot of things, but there are even more things he doesn''t know.
This world has always been an endless treasure waiting for people to dig.
And this is also the meaning of existence for those who pursue knowledge and truth like him.
The water was boiled, Kain took out a handful of dried tea leaves and dropped them into the cup of water. A momentter, a cup of steaming hot tea appeared.
He took a sip, the tea was clearly still very hot, but Kain felt the refreshing taste flowing down his throat, gradually wearing away the negative emotions that had umted in his heart today.
One night passed peacefully.
…
The next day, Kain packed up and set off very early.
He wasn''t too satisfied with his own skill point collection efficiency yesterday, so Kain would focus more on hunting today.
Although this ce was quiterge, it was ultimately just the first floor of a small-sized Dungeon, not sorge that it would make one lose their bearings like a medium-sized Dungeon.
Kain did not fight over Smander with the others, he marked some locations on the map and started hunting Zombies.
This time, he hit the jackpot.
Only to see at the position where Kain was observing, there was a group of Zombies standing leisurely, in the middle of the Zombies were three skinny but very tall Zombies, with an extremely scary appearance.
Don''t think that these tall and skinny Zombies are weak. The power they unleash is extremely terrifying, many times greater than that of normal Zombies.
And of course, the amount of skill points they can provide is many times more than normal Zombies.
[Thunder Summon].
A max level [Thunder Summon] was cast upon the undead, instantly killing a group of Zombies by burning their brains. One of the three tall and skinny Zombies was also struck by the lightning, but its body only froze and did not die.
At this moment, Kain jumped out of hiding, starting a new hunt.
