Although it does not possess a powerful ability that can be applied in a duel, the leader Salamander monster can control and connect the minds of the Salamander individuals it has controlled, in order to convey orders and monitor every move of the entire battle.
In the monster's perception, every time Kain counterattacked, even if he eliminated all the monsters that were tailing him, it would still be equivalent to revealing his tracks, so the defending Salamander only needed to continuously push his troops to the positions where Kain had been discovered, forming a siege, so that Kain would have no way to escape.
But that's just in theory.
In fact, Kain's real target is the Salamander leader.
But he couldn't get close to this heavily guarded monster, what should he do?
The answer is to lead away almost the entire guard force.
Then, he used the terrain he had previously explored with [Imitative] to lure the monsters to move in the direction he wanted.
That's why Kain appeared just in time to counterattack the monsters that were pursuing him.
This was the "signal" he wanted to secretly convey to the Salamander leader.
"I'm here, send troops to arrest me."
That's what Kain wanted.
From the guard formation that the Salamander leader had arranged, he judged that although this thing had a certain level of thinking, that was all. Quite simple and straightforward.
So, once it had secured the area where Kain could hide, the Salamander would begin to marshal its troops into a pincer movement to block any escape routes. Given the monster's knowledge of the terrain, this was the best option.
However, Kain has [Imitative].
This skill doesn't just create such a simple "map", but it is a skill that allows him to simulate all spatial objects within a certain range, in terms of height, width and depth, it is much more detailed than a flat drawing.
Because of that, he had mapped out a path that would lead him straight to the Salamander leader in the shortest amount of time. This path was still quite tricky and mysterious, however, in order to use this path, he needed the surrounding monsters to open a path.
If he breaks the siege by force, his intentions will be exposed. And all his efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, Kain needed to make the monster move its army on its own, clearing a path for Kain to go straight to it.
When Kain appeared, the Salamander leader didn't even know why Kain was standing there.
It seemed to have broken free from some kind of bondage and gained intelligence, but even a rudimentary strategist was not enough to turn this situation around.
"Although I don't know what really happened to you, but you're pretty good."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the Salamander leader was about to call his troops back, a [Thunder Summon] struck down, paralyzing everyone. But that wasn't the end of it, the remaining unreleased lightning quickly curled up, forming a large [Thunder Bullet] and shot into the Salamander leader's body.
It wanted to dodge but couldn't, it could only watch helplessly as the attack filled with destruction rushed towards it. In the final moment, its lifeless eyes seemed to show a tiny bit of emotion.
It seems like regret.
But all were buried and turned to dust.
After the Salamander leader was killed, the other Salamanders seemed to return to their "normal" state, wandering around the Dungeon in a daze, waiting for prey to fall into their trap.
Kain quickly destroyed the ten remaining Salamanders there, then went to the other four Adventurers.
Kain patted a man's face, under Kain's influence, the man slowly woke up with a panicked expression, but when he saw a human in front of him, he was overjoyed.
"You... you... how could you..."
"Don't ask so many questions, quickly wake the others up."
To curb the man's curiosity, Kain did not hesitate to sit down and rest at the place.
The consumption is indeed a bit large, but the harvest is also equally huge.

Although there were still quite a few monsters, Kain had already earned 34 skill points.
He didn't hesitate to put all of it into [Heal].
[Heal level 2] 22/30 (+34)
It's a horrifying amount of resource drain, but the usefulness of this skill is worth the effort Kain puts in.
Using the healing ability of [Heal], he used this magic skill to heal physical damage and fatigue.
Meanwhile, the other four also woke up one after another. Although they were terrified of what had happened to themselves and their comrades, the qualities of Adventurers who could climb to the fourth floor of the Dungeon were still there.
At least they didn't cry and whine in front of Kain.
"No need to thank me, I saved you for another purpose."
"But the fact that you saved our lives still cannot be changed, if you need any Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience."
Kain also couldn't refuse the person, so he nodded perfunctorily.
"Your condition is not good enough to continue staying in the Dungeon, let me lead everyone away."
"I'm so sorry to bother you."
Kain then escorted Andrew along, seeing the large group of Adventurers now reduced to only five members, everyone except Kain was filled with emotion.
He then arranged for the five of them to take shelter not far from where the Salamander leader died. It sounded dangerous, but in fact, all the Salamanders had been transferred to another side by the Salamander leader himself, so the safety factor here was quite high. Besides, staying and resting is also necessary to heal the wound.
