On the seventh day, Kain carried a tired body, but a spirit full of energy to the room of the fourth floor's guardian monster.
This time, his enemy was a bit easier to deal with than last time, but still quite a tough one.
A Salamander with two heads, with two wings growing from its back. To be honest, its appearance was somewhat similar to that of a dragon in legends.
As soon as it saw Kain enter its attack range, the Salamander spread its wings and took flight. Its two heads wiggled in the air.
Kain observed that the skin on the throats of the two heads glowed red, like molten lava.
"Is it all [Fire Magic]?"
Just as Kain thought that, the Salamander released two giant fireballs towards Kain. Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation and dodged it. Kain quickly dashed to the open ground below the flying monster and raised his hand, a fireball quickly formed on his palm and released straight up, aiming to attack the Salamander.
But this Salamander was also very agile, it reacted to Kain's attack by releasing another fireball to counter him.
The two [Fire Bullet]s cancelled each other out, exploding into a heat wave in the air. But that wasn't the end of it, the remaining head of the Salamander unleashed another attack, a [Fire Wave], creating a wave of fire that covered half of the room.
In that terrible sea of fire, a somewhat small figure rushed out.
At this moment, the outermost layer of his cloak had been burned to ashes in an instant. Even the second layer of his cloak, made from Reaper skin, which had the ability to resist both magical and physical attacks to a certain extent, was somewhat unable to withstand it and was torn to shreds. Only the uniform from the academy remained intact.
It was also the protection from the new uniform that made Kain look unharmed, not even a single strand of hair was burned.
However, the halo on the uniform has diminished a bit.
There was a slight loss, but Kain's expression remained unchanged.
In the end, although this thing had stronger attack power than the previous guardian monster, it only had that much. The defense of this two-headed Salamander couldn't compare to the previous Pythonel, so it made up for it with its ability to fly.
This can be difficult for some other Magus. Because the long range combined with the flexible movement in the air makes it easy to react, dodge or reduce the damage received.
Unfortunately, Kain has one thing, and that is [Thunder Magic].
Lightning appeared from a point in the sky, exploding and spreading like a tree root structure, creating a thunder cage that collapsed on the ground. monster place
The two-headed Salamander did not have time to react, or rather, its two wings' flight ability could not rotate before such an all-encompassing impact. Very quickly, the monster was struck by lightning.
It let out a scream and fell down, losing its advantage in aerial combat. The Salamander subspecies' weak resistance to magic was also the reason for this.
And in order to destroy this thing completely, Kain did not hesitate to use his strongest attack, the lightning that was still dancing chaotically in the air was suddenly controlled, condensing into a ball of lightning that emitted terrifying power. And under Kain's command, the ball of lightning fell down, like a bomb dropped on the monster's body.
The monster screamed miserably before being extinguished, its two still wriggling heads also completely fell silent, collapsing to the floor in two different directions.
Kain just stood there calmly.
This monster is still very difficult to deal with, that's true, even low-class Magus who have reached the peak must be careful when facing this thing. However, to deal with Kain, that's not enough.
In a way, he had stepped out of the low-class Magus realm, gradually approaching the mid-class Magus ladder.
And because of this monster, Kain also had a rough idea of the guardian monster at the last floor of the Dungeon. According to this logic, the strength of the guardian monster would gradually increase with each floor, and this two-headed Salamander had already reached the limit of low-class. Therefore, it was very possible that the next guardian monster would reach the same level as him - half a step out of low-class. And the worst case scenario would be mid-class.

Providing 20 skill points, just like the previous Pythonel, was not beyond Kain's expectations.
Right now, he was very close to his goal, 1000 skill points seemed so far away that he couldn't reach them, now he was only missing more than a hundred skill points.
However, this process was not easy, as Kain was literally pushing his limits, both physically and mentally. He used magic, used strength, and used strength, used magic again. If it was a normal person, they would have collapsed long ago.

"Now, only the last floor remains..."
Kain groaned, calmly sitting down on the hard floor.
There was only one final floor left, but Kain only had seven days left.
During the short rest, Kain began to review the information he had acquired.
There is no information.
The maximum information he could get was only as far as the fourth floor of the Dungeon. It wasn't that no Adventurer party had ever made it to the fifth floor, but that none of them had survived to return to pass on the information.
Thinking about it again, it was only natural that in this small town of Kadata, even a low-class Magus was rare. Where could one dig up a combat power at the level of a peak low-class Magus, let alone higher ranks.
