"Now, only the guardian monster''s room remains."
Kain thought to himself.
These past few days, he had already mastered all the details of thebyrinth, so naturally, he had already locked down the location of the guardian monster''s room. Now, Kain just needed to head straight there.
Things hadn''t changed much, he pushed open therge stone door that connected to the guardian monster''s room, and what Kain saw was a Smander.
This Smander had arger body than the normal Smanders he had seen before, and what came out of this monster''s throat was cold air.
"This... Smander has [Ice magic]?
Kain was a bit interested, because [Ice Magic] was something he had never encountered before.
Previously, Kain only knew that when Magus who possessed [Water Magic] reached mid-ss, they would have the opportunity to awaken [Ice Magic], giving them the ability to freeze water sources and create all kinds of powerful shapes. Making [Water Magic] from a rtively weak magic system in the early stages to one of the strongest magic systems in the mid-ss stage.
Of course it is still possible to awaken [Ice Magic] while you are still a low-ss Magus, but the chance is extremely rare.
Kain could judge the magic''s intensity, he could be sure that the monster was still far from being able to reach mid-ss. So in other words, this monster was more "talented" than the vast majority of Magus who possessed [Water Magic] in a certain aspect.
Once again, a unique monsterpared to the average.
The first time he encountered a guardian monster, Kain didn''t have time to evaluate it, but regardless of whether it was the giant Eyel that could use [Air Magic], the three-armed scythe-wielding Reaper, the gray Slime with extremely highbat instincts, the sturdy Skeleton Centipede, the Zombie that was a fusion of three different Zombies, or the Smander with [Ice Magic] that Kain was facing right now, they were all different from ordinary monsters in some ways.
This really made Kain curious, were they chosen by the Dungeon to be guardian monsters so they were special, or was it because they were special that they were chosen by the Dungeon?
[Fire Bullet].
As soon as he entered the room, Kain did not hesitate to use the system''s strongest attack skill [Fire Magic].n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
A ball of fire that spins andpresses at a speedparable to the blink of an eye. With the magic skill [Fire Navigation level Max], Kain can create and control [Fire Bullet] with an incredibly high level of proficiency. Activating it instantly with almost no waiting time is a piece of cake.
At the same time, the Smander also released the magic it had stored in its throat. The reptile monster''s huge mouth opened wide, releasing a st of air so cold that it could freeze the water in the air. This st of air was pushed at a terrifying speed, creating a nket of ice along its path.
Fire and ice shed, but the scene of firepletely overwhelming ice did not happen.
In fact, the ice created by the magic was simr to the ice that had been around for millions of years in thends west of the Akazac Empire. It was ice that was hard and cold beyond imagination,pletely unlike the artificial ice that wasmonly used to divide and chill drinks.
Therefore, even when faced with the terrifying heat from [Fire Bullet], the ice will not melt immediately but will gradually wear away.
But, [Fire Bullet] doesn''t just have heat, or rather the heat from this fireball only exists as a passive effect.
Same as burning.
In fact, what makes [Fire Bullet] the magic skill with the most damage in the low-ss magic stage. Nothing more than pure explosive power.
Without many apanying effects, nor any fancy form, [Fire Bullet] is simply youpressing a bomb and throwing it towards the enemy, making the enemy also be crushed to pieces.
Loud explosions rang out continuously for a short moment, and the entire ice was blown away. Although the Smander was eventually able to block the power of the [Fire Bullet], the strong force still caused the monster to be sent flying far away and almost lost its direction.
At this moment, Kain took a step forward, in front of him, he didn''t know when lightning started shooting everywhere, part of that lightning had swirled into a sphere.
Obviously, the previous [Fire Bullet] was just a diversion, and also a test of the power of [Fire Bullet]. Kain''s real killing move was this giant lightning ball.
"Die."

Kain gave a soft cry, as if judging the monster to death.
The attacknded with such force of destruction, creating a light so intense that half the room turned white, the monster let out its final screams, a bit of ice flying out in ce of resistance, but its oue was already irreversible.
Kain stood still in ce, slowly absorbing the feeling. Previously, he had challenged his own limits by simultaneously creating seven giant lightning spheres, which was beyond Kain''s control. Therefore, this time he only condensed onerge lightning sphere, the result was much better than his thought.
Although it was still too difficult to fully control like how he used [Thunder Bullet] before, at least he had time to direct this magic skill to a certain location instead of randomly throwing it.
The only weakness is probably the time, to create this move, Kain is equivalent to having to go through two processes in turn, [Thunder Summon] and [Thunder Bullet]. This is not possible to cut.
If it was a situation where he was fighting monsters, this wouldn''t be too much of a problem, but it was different when fighting other Magus, especially in a situation where he had to participate in many public matches like the academy''s all-in tournament.
There is a vulnerability, that is, it can be found, exploited, and targeted, and this cannot be changed.
