Chapter 128 Power increases
[Thunder Spear]
[Thunder Arrow]
[Thunder Descend]
[Thunder Flash]
[Thunder Control]
Looking at these five new magic skills, Kain's eyes were opened.
His previous guess was correct, there was indeed a control-type magic skill higher than [Thunder Navigation], and that was [Thunder Control].
At the same time, he also knew how to optimize the power of lightning, which was to turn it into a weapon with real damage.
The lightning ball he condensed could only be considered to be in its most rudimentary form, its power was not concentrated and difficult to control. But imagine if such power was compressed into a spear, or an arrow? That would be absolutely terrifying.
But Kain didn't think things would be that easy.
Not to mention the huge amount of skill points needed to upgrade just one skill. Kain believed that even if he successfully upgraded [Thunder Spear] or [Thunder Arrow], he would still not be able to use these two magic skills.
The reason is because he has no control.
Even condensing lightning into its most basic form, a sphere, was pushing Kain to his limits, let alone condensing the power of lightning into a more complex and purposeful form. After all, upgrading his magic skill only gave Kain the experience of practicing a hundred thousand times, not the ability to use it at will.
It's like giving a child the ability to use a sword, but when the child can't even hold a sword, the ability to use a sword is useless.
So, no matter what, Kain was forced to upgrade [Thunder Control] first.
"200 skill points..."
Looking at this number of skill points, Kain couldn't help but sigh, the road ahead was so clear yet so far away.
"Well, at least after I get [Thunder Control], I'll have some self-defense power."
Kain consoled himself, today was still a long day.
So, he continued hunting.
Because he had become a mid-class Magus, Kain felt his entire body filled with terrifying amounts of energy. Even though he still couldn't use any mid-class magic skills, his overall strength had increased insanely.
Therefore, the speed at which he "exploited" the monsters' lives today was even faster. Kain even intentionally slowed down his progress to let the monsters come and kill more.
Pythonel's burned remains fell continuously into the water below, causing the clear water to become cloudy with the monster's blood and flesh. Kain continued to advance, incinerating all the monsters in his path and those chasing after him with [Fire Bullet].
At the same time, he also noticed that some Pythonels had secretly fled after luring Kain into fighting a large number of other Pythonels. Kain guessed that the fleeing monsters must have been monsters that had been manipulated by the leader monster.
At the same time, Kain also noticed something rather strange.
The layout of today's obstacles seemed to have left a gap.
While the previous three days were all tight.
Everything unusual has a reason.
"Has that thing changed its strategy?"
Kain wondered while continuing to kill monsters.
He thought this might be a trap.
But what kind of trap would it be? What kind of trap would make that monster think it could harm him now?
You must know, he was unrivaled here, destroying as many monsters as came, Kain did not believe that thing did not know this.
Thinking for a moment, Kain did not hesitate and stepped onto the path without obstacles.
He wanted to test whether his guess was correct. Discover hidden content at empire
Everything is still normal.
After a long day, Kain rested in a makeshift shelter, munching on dry food bars and drinking some water to quench his thirst. Then, he activated the system.

Today he earned 76 skill points, not bad at all.
However, this is not all.
Kain was waiting for something, so he rested very early as if to regain his strength to prepare for an urgent situation.
One hour, two hours, three hours, then four hours passed.
At some point, Pythonel appeared around the area where Kain was camping.
Their numbers were relatively large, but they moved very systematically, as if they were searching for something.
Yes, they are looking for Kain.
Even though he didn't light a fire, his body heat couldn't be hidden. So as long as he got close enough, the Pythonels would discover him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Sure enough he was discovered.
Just as Kain was "sleeping", a group of crazy Pythonels pounced on him, wanting to tear him apart. But Kain's eyes, which were tightly shut, suddenly opened.
He closed his eyes, but the spiritual wavelength from [Seek] did not need to open his eyes to perceive.
He waved his hand, and a [Fire Bullet] flew out, breaking the monster's attack.
However, the monsters did not come from just one side, forcing Kain to take several hits to deal with them.
However, as soon as he finished killing these monsters, a bunch of Pythonels came crawling over. All of these monsters were attracted by the enormous heat source emitted from Kain's [Fire Bullet].
All of this was as Kain predicted.
Rewinding back in time to before, when Kain saw the path unobstructed by obstacles.
He knew it was a trap, but what kind of trap was the question.
What weakness will the monster leader exploit in him?
The answer that Kain thought of was... sleep.
More like a rest.
Kain is human, and he needs rest, even becoming a mid-class Magus doesn't change that.
And the monster's act of leaving a path open was actually to delineate where he would rest and camp.
Kain guessed the trap would go something like this.
