[Mind Sense] is a magic skill quite unique to [Spirit Magic], compared to considering this as a magic skill, Kain considers this more as a kind of essence.
Because [Mind Sense] does not focus entirely on building a clear and systematic technique. This is completely personal, depending on personal feelings.
This magic has the ability to expand and complement both [Seek] and [Imitative], or rather, it requires [Mind Sense] for these two to be complete.
But even so, when Kain used [Seek] or [Imitative] on the surroundings. His narrow vision remained unchanged.
Yes, even in the spiritual phase, these mists still surrounded Kain. The spiritual waves he released outwards, which should not have been blocked by matter, were blocked.
These fogs are like some kind of rule, there is no way to get around them.
Because of that, remembering the terrain here is extremely valuable, it can be said to be the only lifeline for the students in this dire situation.
In this limited situation, Kain could only use the map in his head to infer potential locations where the students might move after leaving the starting square. If a student had run too far and was unable to infer, Kain could only ignore them.
"The monsters... they're here again!"
Leo's voice trembled, and Kain locked onto his target.
Luckily, Nightcrawler didn't appear this time.
Kain took a step forward, and lightning began to spread around him like roots suddenly sprouting from a vacuum. Under Kain's control, a network was quickly created.
Each fist-sized lightning ball was condensed at the node where the lightning intersected, they swirled and shot towards the Crawlers in a curved trajectory, surprisingly precise. By using [Thunder Summon] and [Thunder Bullet] in succession, Kain seemed to have created an endless production line, any Crawler that wanted to resist would have to at least have a certain amount of magic resistance first.
Otherwise, paralysis and being roasted from the inside out is their fate.
As long as Kain is not completely exhausted, he can maintain a crushing stance against any Crawler. And of course, this was another one-sided battle.
In the middle of the monster siege was a group of up to seven people.
Among the survivors was a male student who was holding a female student tightly in his arms. The female student was seriously injured with a fatal scratch on her ribs.
At first glance, Kain knew that the danger wasn't just from the bleeding, but that the shattered bone fragments from the attack had pierced her internal organs, such as her lungs.
The chances of survival are not high, of course, if Katie is not here.
Under the male student's dull gaze, Katie took over the female student who was gasping for breath and began to cast the spell. A fierce aura that penetrated to the marrow of her bones emitted out, penetrating the female student's body. It caused her half-dead face to regain its rosy color.
But Katie's face turned extremely pale, her legs trembled slightly, and she struggled to stand up.
It can be said that she has also reached her limit.
Katie forced herself to stay strong, but the pause in her speech gave away her true state.
Kain nodded, saying nothing.
He led the group back to Hector's meeting place.
But this time, Kain patted Leo and Katie on the shoulder.
"You two go home and get some rest."
"Wait, what about you?"
Leo immediately jumped up, Katie also glanced at Kain, but she was so tired that the only words that came out of her mouth were.
He just shook his head.
"You two tried your best, get some rest."
Having said that, Kain turned and walked away, not giving them a chance to argue with his words. Leo wanted to run after him, but immediately fell to the ground, only now realizing that his legs were numb from moving in such a tired state.
It could be said that Leo's part of the job wasn't all that great. With the magic skill [Hide], Leo was responsible for helping everyone move to the meeting place with Hector as quickly as possible. And he maintained that for a long time.
Katie was constantly having to save people. Even though Kain had lowered her goal to "just keep them alive", with the number of students , it was inevitable that she would have to treat dozens of people in a row.
Even so, "keeping them alive" was no easy goal, because those who suffered damage from the Crawler's attacks had a very high level of injury, broken bones and collapsed lungs were basic.
They really should rest.
As for Kain, he still has his backers.

Upgrading [Mind Sense] then upgrading [Heal], Kain healed a bit of the fatigue in his body. The effect wasn't as good as Katie's [Life Magic], but at least it was better than nothing.
But suddenly, Kain noticed several figures running towards him. At first, Kain thought they were Crawlers, but judging by their demeanor, they seemed to be students.
It was a group of about three boys. Seeing Kain, they suddenly changed direction and ran towards him. Their actions seemed strange, but Kain immediately guessed it.
They wanted to use him as bait.
"Thanks, poor guy, just hold this thing for us for a while."
One of them laughed, because behind them were two Nightcrawlers and a pack of Crawlers chasing after them.
It was obvious they wanted to turn Kain into a living target, all just to buy themselves a few seconds.
