My Level Zero System

This trap may not seem like much, but that's only to Kain.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With his destructive magic skills, destroying a bunch of monsters blocking his way was relatively simple. But with a team of Adventurers who mastered melee combat, possibly with additional magic support, wanting to fight and deal with many monsters in such a narrow terrain was extremely difficult.

In that case, the adventurer team, after having slain the monsters, thought that they could quickly retreat safely. But all would soon become hopeless when they were blocked once again, and the path behind was sealed by the monsters that rose from under the water.

It could be said that this was a near-fatal outcome. Even if they managed to get through it. Kain predicted that this trap would repeat itself, they would encounter another obstacle on the shortest path, then change paths, encounter another obstacle, then change paths again,... Just like that, when they have advanced as far as they can, they will decide to forcefully attack again to open a path in hopes of escaping, but despair will soon engulf them as a new obstacle awaits.

If that's the case, why didn't the hypothetical Adventurer team choose to attack right from the first obstacle?

This is quite an interesting question.

You know, to be able to reach the fifth floor of the Dungeon, it absolutely cannot be a team of inexperienced Adventurers. To be able to go this far, they must have very strict control over resource consumption, battles, etc. This is the reason why they, or even Kain, will all choose the shortest path that they can see through observation.

And when encountering an obstacle, there would definitely be no one who would rush in to fight and clear the way like a brainless person. Because regardless of whether it was the Adventurer team, or even Kain who had determined the situation beforehand, they would all know the consequences of fighting haphazardly. At the same time, this narrow path was also a huge factor that influenced each decision on whether to fight or not.

So the most likely possibility is to retreat and find another path that is not chosen.

Obviously, they would think like Kain did at that time, thinking that this was just a coincidence, and believe that they could get through by just changing to another path.

And everything happened just as planned.

It can be said that this is an extremely complex and sophisticated trap, one that can be said to directly attack the Adventurer's careful thinking habits, while at the same time taking advantage of the terrain of this Dungeon floor to the extreme. Besides that is reading minds to design traps.

The final factor is that no one expected that the monster could think and set such a terrible trap.

Only Kain, because of some previous fragmentary facts, deduced that the inherent rules in the Dungeon were gradually losing their effect, causing even monsters to gain intelligence.

The level of thinking to create this trap surpassed that of the Salamander leader on the fourth floor countless times.

Now Kain could understand why there was no information about the fifth floor, facing such a large trap hole, no matter how many Adventurers came, they would die.

"Is it possible that after a monster has acquired consciousness, the longer it exists, the more perfect its consciousness becomes?"

Kain thought to himself.

He didn't know how long ago information about the fifth floor of the Dungeon had been lost, but it must have been quite a while ago. So Kain could deduce that at that time, some monster here had gained intelligence. And this monster has grown like that.

As for the Salamander monster on the fourth floor, this monster must have just been born, so the fourth floor has not yet turned into a death zone for Adventurers like the fifth floor. And also because it was just born, this monster, although it had strategic thinking, was also extremely immature and naive, so it was easily defeated by Kain.

Putting all of that aside, the most important thing Kain had to think about right now was how to overcome this huge trap before him.

This trap looks perfect, but it has one huge drawback.

So Kain did one thing, which was to sit down and rest.

Just like that, a day passed calmly.

The Dungeon is still the same, this place will not change because of the appearance of a small human. However, this place will sooner or later become chaotic.

Because, that "small human" stood up.

The power from the magic radiated from Kain's body in a majestic manner.

Actually, the solution is very simple.

Actually, Kain is no ordinary Adventurer.

He was a Magus, he didn't have a team behind him, he didn't need to consider too many things.

Because he can do it.

Kain moved towards the nearest obstacle. Before the monsters inside could react, a flame erupted from Kain's palm.

[Fire Bullet].

The top of the stone pillar exploded, along with the mangled bodies of scores of Pythonels. Kain emerged from the flames with a calm expression, as if he had just swatted away a fly.

Magus, are the most unreasonable entities in this world.

Just as Kain had predicted, because of that terrifying heat, the Pythonels below the water had already boiled, madly crawling towards the source of the heat. Kain did not spare the monsters either, with a wave of his hand, a bolt of lightning sprang out from the vacuum, then quickly turned into a shower of thunder and struck straight down onto the water.

[Thunder Summon].

[Thunder Summon].

[Thunder Summon].

Three consecutive uses of [Thunder Summon] destroyed another group of monsters. Meanwhile, Kain continued to calmly add skill points to [Thunder Magic] while continuing to move forward.

When encountering obstacles, a single [Fire Ball] is enough to wipe out the enemies in front. When encountering Pythonel emerging from underwater, a few [Thunder Summons] are enough to shake off the pursuit. It can be said that no matter how ingenious the strategy, no matter how sophisticated the trap, it is not enough to deal with absolute power.
