"My strength is still too weak."
Kain couldn't help but groan.
Monsters that appear at the outermost part of the Dungeon will usually be the weakest monsters. That means those three Skeletons are not very strong in the entire Dungeon.
However, just a Skeleton is already very difficult to deal with. If he didn't have magic skills, Kain was afraid he would have to run away when facing Skeletons.
If you want to kill Skeletons, the simplest way is to stab them in the heart with a knife.
The hardest part here is that Kain's physical strength is still a bit weak, which led to his first stab being deflected, wasting another use of [Thunder Bullet] that could have defeated the Skeleton. there.
Thinking of this, Kain sighed softly.
Physical exercise also takes time.
It seems that Kain has to think of another way to improve this aspect.
Resting for a while, Kain entered the Dungeon again.
The other two Skeletons had completed the process of separating the bones from the corpse. This disgusting scene made Kain wince.
He silently told himself that even if he died, he absolutely must not die in front of the Skeletons.
The other two Skeletons saw Kain return, their attention focused on him and rushed forward. Their instinct is to collect bones to attach to their bodies, but it seems that something even higher than instinct rules them, causing them to kill any living creature they encounter.
This is a monster, not an animal, nor another race.
There is only pure hatred for life, the enemy of all species.
Thanks to the control ability of [Thunder Navigation], Kain reluctantly caused both Skeletons to eat lightning. At that moment, Kain immediately launched another [Thunder Bullet] at one, then charged at the other.
His purpose is to create a time difference, causing Kain to only need to fight one Skeleton at a time, while the remaining Skeleton is destroyed.
Kain's knife successfully stabbed one Skeleton to death, and the remaining Skeleton was able to move again.
It rushed towards Kain, only for him to hit him with another [Thunder Bullet].
A struggle took place, this time Kain was not as lucky as before, he needed a second knife to finish off this Skeleton.
Kain sat down tiredly on the ground and opened the system panel to check.

This time, Kain ignored [Thunder Magic] and switched to [Enhancement Magic]
[Enhancement Body level 0] 0/5 (+)
[Enhancement Tool level 0] 0/10 (+)
"These two magic skills are really expensive..."
Kain sighed, then added two skill points to [Enhancement Body]
[Enhancement Body level 0] 2/ 5
Kain left the Dungeon again, preparing to set up camp for the night outside.
As for those corpses, Kain doesn't care. Because the Dungeon possesses a special mechanism that helps consume corpses after one day. Otherwise, the number of corpses of explorers and monsters would probably fill the entire Dungeon.
Dungeons are an extremely mysterious thing to people, so much so that there is an entire field of study and systematic research on Dungeons.
Since then, people have also discovered rules such as the fixed number of monsters, or the mechanism of swallowing corpses.
Because of that, many people went into the Dungeon and were never found again. Because they might have died, and been eliminated by this Dungeon mechanism.
The next day, Kain did not rush into the Dungeon, but walked around to see if there were any Slimes so he could hunt. It took him half a day to search before he found a nest of Slime. But killing all these Slimes will only increase Kain by one [Level].
Without hesitation, Kain added [Enhancement Body].
[Enhancement Body level 0] 3/ 5
Seeing that hunting was fruitless, he finally decided to enter the Dungeon.
The deeper you go, the more downward the Dungeon will be.
When Kain went a few hundred meters deep into the Dungeon, he saw a group of Skeletons loitering not far away.
The bones on these Skeletons' bodies looked a little thicker than the Skeletons he had just killed, but not much thicker.
Still the same level.
"I can still defeat them."
A total of four Skeletons. Kain applied the old strategy.
First, divide the four Skeletons into two groups of two Skeletons each. Next, divide the Skeleton group that Kain fights into one-one.
So even if the process is a bit more complicated, he can still win.
And to optimize [Level] to increase, after killing two Skeletons, Kain will retreat to increase skill points. After that, he returned to deal with the remaining two Skeletons.
[Thunder Summon] brought down lightning on the heads of the four Skeletons, then Kain fired two [Thunder Bullet] at the two Skeletons.
The two Skeletons that were not eaten by [Thunder Bullet] rushed to attack Kain, but Kain also used the same tactic, separating, leaving only one Skeleton to confront him.
However, this time Kain was not so lucky.
After killing a Skeleton, Kain felt the magical energy in his body being depleted.
It seems that constantly fighting many opponents and using too many magic skills is still a bit overwhelming for Kain.
Kain could only reluctantly shake his head. If he had more power, he wouldn't have needed to complicate matters .
Luckily, he finally succeeded in killing the second Skeleton and ran away.

+[Enhancement Body level 0]: 3/ 5 (+)
Kain adds 2 skill points to [Enhancement Body]. Immediately, new memories appeared in his mind.
[Enhancement Body level 1] 0/7
"Physical strength increased to this level?"
Kain activated [Enhancement Body], his body felt as if it was inflating like a balloon. It's like the entire muscle has been replenished with energy.
He took a knife and stabbed it into the tree trunk, causing a rather deep puncture wound to appear on the tree trunk. Previously, Kain needed to make a few knife cuts to create such a mark.
[Enhancement Body] can be used in two ways, long term and short term. Knowing this, Kain immediately returned to the Dungeon.
Faced with two Skeletons rushing forward, Kain was not afraid and still rushed forward. After using [Thunder Bullet] to neutralize one, he began to use his knife to fight in close combat with the remaining Skeleton.
Right at the fatal stab , Kain applied [Enhancement Body], causing the power of the stab to immediately increase many times, crushing the Skeleton's heart.
Continuing like that again, Kain successfully killed the remaining Skeleton.
With just two precise uses of [Enhancement Body] at a critical moment, two difficult opponents for Kain were eliminated, without him spending too much effort.
