Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Two types of monsters

Rocs hunt with shockwaves, but they lack the agility to do so, so they symbiote with Eyel to gain optical vision.Because of that, the danger level of Roc is not actually that high, not enough to make this area deserted with much less records than other areas on the first floor of the Dungeon.

For this area to become truly dangerous, there must be something, some kind of monster. Monsters also hunt by sensing shockwaves, but this type of monster is much more subtle.

Kain recalled the first time he fought a guardian monster, how a mere rock falling to the ground could stimulate it, proving that its senses were surprisingly sharp.

Moled.

Kain was not unaware that the monster would appear here, he had already listed Moled, Roc and Tres as the three most noteworthy monsters when searching through the Adventurer's records.

What Kain had missed was the location and number of Moled in this area. Compared to the already scant records of the cave area, the records of Moled were not even one-tenth of those of the Roc. That had caused Kain to unconsciously underestimate the presence of this type of monster. Now that Kain thought about it, the reason why the records of Moled were so scant was because almost all the Adventurers had lost their lives when facing Moled in this terrain.

Suddenly, Kain seemed to see something.

Immediately, he signaled the whole team to stop, without turning around, he gave the order to Myra and Mera.

"Both of you don't move, just use your magic skills to support me later. Mera, don't use [Earth Magic]."

Although both sisters were surprised by the order to actively attack instead of avoiding combat like usual, neither of them raised any questions at this time.

But it didn't matter, because they would soon find out why Kain made that decision.

As a Magus who possessed [Earth Magic], Mera could also sense the mysterious vibrations in the ground, although it was quite vague. When she reacted, a giant mouth appeared in front of Kain, with a width exactly enough to fit a cow. The inside of the mouth was red, plus the jagged teeth could make anyone facing this situation at close range scared and unable to react in time.

What's more, this thing "unexpectedly" rose from the ground, gently like a fish rising from the water.

However, faced with all the elements that could form an unavoidable surprise attack, Kain seemed to have completely anticipated this. As soon as this Moled monster appeared, a [Thunder Bullet] shot was fired straight into the middle of its throat, not only severely injuring the monster, but also causing the monster's entire body to become paralyzed.

Kain's two arms quickly pulled out two daggers, turning to the side to cut this thing with Reaper's poison. Although the body structure of this thing made it not too affected by the necrotic poison, Kain's continuous attacks on vital spots still caused the monster to die.

Just as Kain finished off one Moled, two more Moled charged at him from diagonally across. Kain reacted extremely quickly by retreating, while at the same time, two rotating [Thunder Bullet]s were fired towards the other two Moled.

At this moment, Myra and Mera were not just standing there. The reason Kain let them stand still was because they could not react as quickly and had strong physical strength like him. Standing still would attract the Moleds to him.

Meanwhile, the two sisters Myra and Mera will act as a turret providing enough firepower to destroy monsters.

And as soon as Kain paralyzed the two Moled with [Thunder Bullet], the two sisters immediately unleashed their most damaging magic skill.

[Fire Bullet].

[Air Bullet].

Fire and wind swirled together, instantly causing serious injuries to the two monsters, Moled's skin that was the same color as the stone floor was cut, burned and bleeding.

[Enhancement Body].

[Enhancement Tool].

As the two magic skills belonging to [Enhancement Magic] were activated, Kain felt his entire body filled with power. His posture, which was originally retreating, changed in just a second, and Kain charged forward, straight towards the two heavily injured monsters.

With two terrifying cuts, the lives of the two monsters were ended by Kain.

However, Kain still did not release his magic skill, instead he told his two teammates not to let their guard down.

Although Kain was not like Mera, who could vaguely sense shockwaves, Kain could tell whether there were Moleds in the surroundings through the changes in the geological layer beneath his feet.

The change was so slight, it was almost imperceptible. Only someone as used to "standing in one place" as Kain could do that.

Just as Kain had predicted, four Moleds appeared this time. However, Kain showed no signs of wavering.

He could only fire three [Thunder Bullet]s at most, but that was with one hand. So Kain suddenly threw the two daggers to the ground, and six [Thunder Bullet]s appeared in his two hands that were rotating in circles with each other.

Combined with the magic skill [Thunder Navigation] that had been raised to its maximum level, plus the ability to completely grasp the predictable movement direction of the monsters, even if their number was up to four, Kain was still able to successfully paralyze and injure all of them with [Thunder Bullet].

[Thunder Navigation], which at first glance seemed like a not-so-useful magic skill and had the largest amount of skill points to upgrade out of the three magic skills. But it was only after upgrading this magic skill to a high level that Kain could clearly understand why this was so.

If we compare [Thunder Bullet] to the action of swinging a sword, then [Thunder Navigation] is the way to control the action of swinging a sword, that is the angle of swinging the sword, the force of swinging the sword, the posture of swinging the sword,... And of course, it is easy for anyone to swing a sword, but controlling that action requires a lot of practice, not everyone can do it.
