Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Blocked

"Kain has been gone for a while now, I wonder if he's okay…""You already like that guy?"

Myra covered her mouth and smiled, teasing Mera while laughing. This made Mera extremely irritated, pouting and turning away.

"Humph, don't tease me! I only asked because Kain is our comrade now."

Myra didn't say anything anymore, but she still kept a smile on her lips.

As an older sister, how could Myra not see this little emotion from Mera? The way she disrupted Kain every time they had a strategy meeting was actually to attract his attention, and Mera's eyes were always fixed on Kain every time he led the team forward.

"Oh my silly little Mera."

In Myra's heart, these words echoed. Even though Mera had grown up and become more mischievous, there were some things she hadn't changed at all, like this clumsy way of hiding her feelings.

Only, it was a vibe that was hard to resist.

You are lost in a dark forest, being chased by a monster. And when you are about to be killed, a handsome knight with golden eyes and silver hair appears to rescue you. Moreover, this knight is extremely considerate and kind, a person who understands people's hearts.

To be honest, Myra didn't think any young girl could resist that feeling, unless there was already someone else in their heart.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. And don't worry about Kain, he'll definitely be fine."

…

Looking at the five Moled before him, Kain looked a little surprised, but he was not afraid.

[Thunder Summon].

Kain's reflexes were extremely quick. As soon as he realized where the enemy was gathering, he released a [Thunder Summon] wave. Then, Kain accumulated [Thunder Bullet] in one hand and held the dagger made from the Reaper's scythe in the other hand to charge forward and attack.

He had completely switched to using this dagger, which meant that he used stabbing as his main attack point. Daggers were not very suitable for cutting, stabbing was the advantage of daggers. Furthermore, for monsters with relatively large bodies like Moled, cutting would easily reduce the durability of the dagger.

The tip of the knife seemed unstoppable, piercing straight through Moled's flesh. The monster's blood splattered on his face, stuck to his hair, but all Kain showed was indifference, unaffected by the stench.

Looking at the five monster corpses that had died under his hands, Kain turned his attention to the system, unable to help but feel amused.

Without Myra and Mera around, Kain could freely use his skill points. It had to be said that after fully understanding Moled's attack pattern, this place was no different from a gold mine for him. Just a few more hunts like this and Kain would be able to push [Thunder Summon] to max level.

[Thunder Summon level 8] 8/10 (+8)

"It's been long enough since I left, hope they're okay."

Kain thought to himself, he was not completely immersed in hunting.

Kain returned to the campsite, finding Myra still awake keeping watch while Mera slept, a small smile appearing on Kain's lips.

But seeing him return, the vague anxiety in Myra's heart also disappeared, she even asked him kindly.

"Is there any problem?"

"It's nothing, I've already cleaned up the area around here, you two can rest now."

Myra did not refuse, directly lying down on the blanket and mattress she brought to sleep. Kain took out the pieces of wood he had kept before, and lit a small campfire to warm up the surrounding area.

On the tenth day of the entrance exam, Kain's team continued on their journey after a full rest.

Because they had had enough rest, everyone was in a much more cheerful mood. However, Mera's injured leg had not completely healed yet, so her speed of movement would be affected to some extent.

Even so, Kain wasn't too worried, because they had already gone quite a distance, even if the assassins had left the upside down forest by now, there was no way they could catch up to them.

Carefully reproducing the map in his mind, Kain calculated that it would only take them about two days to get out of this rocky cave area.

With that, he could start thinking how the team should face the next area.

After escaping the stone cave, they would encounter a vast swamp. Although it couldn't compare to the upside-down forest or the stone cave in terms of area, the monsters here weren't too dangerous, but the level of annoyance wasn't any less than the other two areas.

"Kain, what should we do this time?" seaʀᴄh thё novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Myra said in a serious tone.

This time, they were not so lucky. Because they were being attacked by both Roc and Moled at the same time.

"Don't worry, just attack the Roc to buy time, I'll take care of the Moled."

Before the two girls could react, he rushed forward with a dagger in his hand.

[Thunder Summon].

Lightning struck down indiscriminately, opening the way for Kain's super-speed attack.

[Enhancement Body].

[Enhancement Tool].

In a flash, Kain unleashed his full power. And with a fatal stab, Kain instantly killed a paralyzed Moled.

[Thunder Bullet].

Three more [Thunder Bullet] continued to paralyze the remaining three Moleds. Kain stomped his feet, his heels pressing into the ground, then he bounced up, launching his entire body forward.

Borrowing the strength from his body, the dagger's power increased to its maximum, almost unstoppably killing another Moled.

Moled's attack method is relatively simple, basically just jumping off the ground and swallowing its prey to death. As long as they can avoid this surprise attack, the Moled's large bodies are no different from becoming the perfect target for him to attack.

Kain's silver hair was once again stained with monster blood, at his feet was a Moled corpse that had a large hole pierced through it, and another corpse that had been burned to death from the inside out because it had been destroyed by [Thunder Bullet]. These were obviously the two remaining Moled.

On another battlefield, the battle was equally intense. Myra used [Fire Bullet] to incinerate the Eyels parasitizing Roc's body, while Mera used [Earth Magic] to disperse the monster's senses.
