My Level Zero System

The final day on the third floor of the Dungeon has arrived.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After fully preparing, Kain followed the route he had mapped out before while scouting the terrain, heading straight for the room reserved for the guardian monsters.

Pushing open the stone door, Kain was greeted by a familiar hallway.

The other end of the main corridor was the one that led directly to the guardian monster's room. From here, Kain could usually see the guardian monster in the center, so before engaging in a battle with a guardian monster, he would usually stand in the corridor to observe the situation first.

This time, Kain saw a Skeleton, a very, very large Skeleton.

This thing was over five meters tall. It stood upright in the middle of the room, its skull slightly tilted to one side, like a weird statue just standing there.

Kain felt a shiver, his intuition seemed to sense a vague surveillance coming from the monster's empty eye sockets.

Kain frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

However, that was only a fleeting feeling. And Kain was currently quickly pondering another matter.

What the hell is this thing?

Alright, Kain knew this question sounded silly. Because the answer "this monster is a Skeleton" seemed to have been presented right there.

But what Kain really wondered was... what created this monster?

As far as he knew, Skeletons were made from bones. It could be human bones, or it could be monster bones. Sometimes, these monsters don't need to follow a fixed skeleton and can transform into many different shapes. For example, the guardian monster of the third floor last time was made from hundreds of Salamander skulls assembled together.

But no matter what shape or assembly, Kain could figure out from the chaos where the bone came from, from which creature's body.

But for this Skeleton, Kain's awareness was... blank.

This thing is a "humanoid" skeleton, without any other elements mixed in. This is nothing strange, but if combined with something else, it is different.

That's the magnitude.

This thing was five meters tall, and it wasn't because it was piled up that it was that tall, but because the skeleton itself was that tall.

So what the hell is this thing? Bones from a giant?

Kain showed a bit of hesitation, he didn't know why he suddenly became overly cautious towards a guardian monster on the third floor of the small dungeon. This type of monster was at most the same level as the mutated grey-blooded slime that Kain had defeated in the medium dungeon. He shouldn't have been so cautious. Your next read awaits at empire

But for some reason he couldn't describe, Kain thought this was the way it should be.

For now, other than guessing, he had no other way to test what this monster was capable of. So Kain picked up a stone from under his feet and threw it into the room.

The stone caused a slight commotion, but the monster didn't seem to react to this at all, throughout the entire process, the monster remained limply standing in the center, not moving an inch.

Not responding to natural noises?

Kain pondered, but he was still unsure.

So Kain tried to step into the room of the guardian monster. Under normal circumstances, this would have triggered the defense mechanism set up by the Dungeon, causing the monster to no longer be quiet and start attacking Kain.

But this time it was different, even though Kain stepped inside, the Skeleton remained standing still in its original position. There was no reaction at all.

"Is it dead? Or is it unable to attack?"

Two answers popped into his head, but neither of them satisfied him.

He raised his hand, a fireball condensed on his palm.

[Fire Bullet].

Magic skill was activated and released, fireballs shot towards the Skeleton extremely quickly.

A crisp explosion rang out. Kain's eyes changed and were filled with astonishment.

Because this monster's bones, or rather its entire skeleton, are too tough.

All that [Fire Bullet] left behind was a bruise and a crack.

It must be known that even though Kain did not unleash [Fire Bullet] with all his might, the attack just now was more than enough to shatter the protective bone armor of a Skeleton Salamander or Skeleton Centipede. Yet, all that appeared was a crack, which was enough to prove how tough the monster before his eyes was.

But what was even more special was that, even when Kain attacked this monster and drew up all sorts of defensive strategies, this thing still didn't change even a little bit.

Is this a bug?

Kain wondered, but for a moment he did not dare to give an answer.

"What the hell are you afraid of, Kain?"

Because he had been focusing on the monster for too long, Kain hadn't blinked once since he entered. At this moment, a drop of sweat ran down Kain's forehead and landed on the corner of his eye. His slightly tired eyes from focusing on it for too long became a little stinging.

And then, Kain blinked.

The monster also changed.

In the instant Kain opened his eyes and brought light back to his eyeballs, the monster was already in a position of reaching out, and it also seemed to have moved a few steps, approaching Kain.

But now, the monster stood still, even the posture of its mid-move was frozen, making the Skeleton look like a somewhat goofy statue, of course if this thing wasn't so huge.

But Kain didn't find this thing "goofy" at all, a flash of panic crossed his eyes.

From the moment he opened his eyes, Kain combined the information he had gathered and temporarily deduced one thing.

This thing will move when Kain isn't staring at it, and of course its target is Kain.

But there was one thing he didn't understand.

How does this monster move?

The time it took Kain to blink was somewhere in the region of less than half a second. And if he wanted to move such a distance in such a short time, his speed must be very fast, extremely fast.

However, even with such speed, moving will still cause certain impacts to the surrounding environment, which can be expressed through noise, newly generated wind force, air being pushed and broken because the object moves too fast,...
