My Level Zero System

Kain first noticed the abnormality, but he still couldn't react in time.

Cecilia's four teammates running towards her were the first victims.

Before, even though Cecilia used all her strength to attack them, they were still able to withstand her attacks for a while, this proved that they were not weak.

But at this moment, all four of them... were instantly defeated.

Kain could vaguely observe that the necks of all four of them had blurred in the blink of an eye.

This wasn't a lighting trick or anything, but Cecilia's blade distorted the light, and the distorted location was the targets' necks.

This is the difference.

Cecilia, no matter how angry or indifferent she was before, when she attacked, Kain noticed she always chose to attack parts like the chest, legs, or arms.

This is not necessarily an active choice, but a subconscious one.

In Cecilia's subconscious, she always kept a limit. She knew that this was just a tournament from start to finish, and because of the rules of this round, all injuries would be cumulative, so she only needed to attack the critical point, not kill.

But now, she is different.

Killing intent was present, meaning that the life of something other than her still had some value or weight. But without killing intent, it meant that life or not could not change her.

Like a sword, killing someone or hanging it on the wall cannot affect its nature.

A sharp thing.

So Cecilia chose to cut off the neck, because it was clearly the quickest way to kill.

"Watch out! Stay back!"

Kain shouted loudly to warn his surrounding teammates, at the same time he also exerted all the remaining strength in his body, with just one wave of his hand he constructed a net of lightning.

Kain couldn't even say much, because his speech delivery speed wasn't even fast enough.

But when the lightning net was formed, the four girls in his team just reacted.

Because that was the moment when the four people on the other side fell. Only when the result happened did they realize it in shock, because they basically couldn't see how Cecilia had done it.

Or more accurately, they couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, they were still able to react to Kain's warning.

This is the trust that has been forged through many correct decisions of Kain.

Although they had no time to react as to why he would give such a warning, they still unconsciously obeyed, and backed away.

As for Kain, he took a step forward.

To ensure the safety of his team members, he was forced to step in.

Currently, Kain is using both [Thunder Flash] and [Imitative] at the same time.

These two magic skills, [Imitative] continuously scans and simulates the movement of the terrain and surrounding matter for Kain, while [Thunder Flash] increases Kain's information processing speed, allowing him to digest the massive amount of information that [Imitative] transmits to him.

Although [Seek] can directly lock onto a living target, or rather a target that emits spiritual waves, higher level Magus will naturally have the ability to conceal and defend against spiritual waves even if they do not possess [Spirit Magic].

Therefore, Kain could only be sure by scanning the physical existence.

Then, frantically digest this information!

This time, Kain pressed the magic to the maximum, at the intersection of each lightning line, each spike protruded, it was a lot of [Thunder Arrow] being condensed.

Originally, Kain couldn't do so in his normal state, because even when simplified, [Thunder Arrow] wasn't a basic magic like [Thunder Bullet]. So creating a large number of [Thunder Arrow] was nearly impossible.

But, Kain can barely do it now, because he is currently accelerating his processing ability.

[Thunder Flash], supplemented with [Enhancement Magic].

Kain felt his brain working at an unprecedented rate.

Theoretically, his magical abilities had not yet reached the level where he could create multiple [Thunder Arrows] at once. However, if he could repeat the process of creating [Thunder Arrows] in a short period of time, the effects produced would not seem to be much different on the surface.

And all of the above was an attack on Cecilia.

Earlier, when Kain saw Cecilia attack the four people closest to her, Kain began to ponder.

Cecilia's current state, is not "destroy all enemies", but "destroy all surrounding objects".

So, Cecilia attacked the targets closest to her.

Thus, Kain could infer that Cecilia's current state was quite similar to the monsters in the Dungeon.

Can fight, has fighting instinct, but is very simple in consideration.

Closer, means priority attack target.

More threatening, means priority attack target.

So, Kain is looking to become Cecilia's priority target of attack.

To do so, Kain even pushed beyond his limits.

But very quickly, Kain learned that he had overestimated himself, or rather, he had underestimated Cecilia.

The current Cecilia, on the surface, doesn't seem to attack as fiercely as the previous Cecilia. But her ability to use swordsmanship and magic has reached a new level.

Before, Cecilia's techniques and moves were all smooth, but the flow between them was still somewhat stiff and not fluent.

But, all of that disappeared in this collision.

No gaps.

That's what Kain felt.

All the magic skills he cast were dispelled, and they did so at an unbelievable speed.

It's as if Cecilia now is truly Cecilia who has unleashed her full potential.

Kain's mind began to churn countermeasures, but Cecilia had already begun to move.

[Air Slash] shots poured out from the blade and were sent flying in all directions.

Their targets are the connection points in the lightning network.

Cecilia's aim was very precise, not only neutralizing Kain's attack, but also completely separating his network.

At this point, the flaw of this combined magic skill set was finally revealed.

Fortunately, Kain had prepared for this situation. Although it was easily split, the lightning net could be used as a bomb.

Separated or not is irrelevant.

So, Kain's decision was made very quickly.

Detonate!

Not giving Cecilia time to go any further, Kain immediately detonated all the lightning he was controlling. These elements surged and exploded, creating a terrifying shockwave.

A drop of sweat ran down Kain's head.

"Would this explosion be enough to injure Cecilia?"

Such a thought flashed through Kain's mind.

But very quickly, reality slapped Kain hard, letting him know what the real difference in class was.

Only to see Cecilia still standing there, without a single new wound on her body, around her was a small tornado but it formed a sturdy wall.

Countless thunderbolts struck, all only to be swept away and torn apart by the whirlwind wall.

[Air Vortex] combined with [Air Slash].

This is the true power of a top mid-class Magus, even though Cecilia only has one magic system, [Air Magic].
