My Level Zero System

Chapter 170 Deadly air

"Actually... I feel like I've known you for a long time."

"A long time ago... a long time ago..."

Kain's voice rang out.

Echoed in her mind.

As it turns out, they've been through a lot.

"What am I afraid of?"

Mera asked herself.

At this moment, all her limits seem to have been removed.

Her mind, her ego, which was originally dull and restrained by the material world, restrained by the five mortal senses, had been transformed.

Mera is in a state of sublimation.

She seemed to have touched the mysterious essence of this world. Mera looked around, seeing all the Magus.

In her eyes, they were like ripples of light, except they were all very small.

She "looked" in another direction, at the location she thought Kain was, and she saw a much larger spot of light.

Seeing that Kain was fine, Mera was relieved.

But suddenly at this moment, she felt goosebumps.

It was like something was staring at her.

Immediately, she came out of her trance and returned to the mortal world.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, Mera slowly felt the power flowing through her body.

Full of energy, the mind is liberated.

Turns out, this is what the mid-class Magus feels like.

Mera thought to herself.

"More!"

Myra's scream rang in her ears.

It turned out that her sister thought she was exhausted and stood there in a daze.

Myra was anxious to approach Mera. But the enemy below made her nervous.

It was a Nightcrawler crawling up at a pretty fast speed.

"There's a Nightcrawler here! Everyone focus on destroying this thing first!"

It's not known who shouted the warning, but it doesn't matter.

It wasn't their first time facing Nightcrawler, so they knew how to deal with it.

However, knowing is one thing, applying it into actual strategy is another.

They seemed to be standing on high ground, dealing damage to the monsters below and holding an absolute advantage. However, once a monster successfully climbed up, the defense would quickly fall apart because the space to move up there was very narrow.

Of course, most people could choose to jump over the wall to avoid it, but doing so would be tantamount to declaring the line collapsed.

So, at all costs they cannot let the monsters climb up.

But when Nightcrawler appeared, things became more difficult.

Because they had to redirect their firepower onto Nightcrawler and kill him as quickly as possible, this would give the other monsters the momentum to climb higher.

So, every time Nightcrawler appears, it's a race against time, a race to see which side can gain more time.

"This is bad, if this continues..."

Myra sweated.

As one of the people who possess the most lethal magic, Myra of course also took on the task of killing Nightcrawler along with the others.

However, seeing the Nightcrawler endure the third attack without showing any signs of giving up, even Myra showed an indescribable look of fatigue.

Attacking this thing is really like trying to sharpen iron into a needle.

She knew what she was doing was working, but it was still far from the results she wanted.

Suddenly, Mera's voice appeared.

"Sister, leave it to me."

Just as Myra was still confused, Mera loudly declared.

"All attack, stop the Crawlers. I'll handle this one."

To the astonishment of Myra and the other students nearby, Mera performed another seemingly insane act.

She jumped down from the wall, jumping straight into the direction of the monsters. Especially Nightcrawler.

The other Magus hastily redirected their magic skills to avoid injuring their teammates.

"Mera!"

Myra screamed, but it was too late.

Just when it seemed like Mera was going to be killed by the monsters, she was... standing in the air.

"That's... that's [Fly]! Mid-class magic skill [Fly]!"

"Mera... has become a mid-class Magus?!"

Myra blurted out.

[Air Slash].

[Air Scream].

[Air Vortex].

[Fly].

In an instant, Mera had mastered four new magic skills through her previous hard training. It could be said that the only thing that made her inferior to the mid-class Magus was the limit of her perception.

And now, that shortcoming is gone.

[Air Slash].

Around Mera, a pile of invisible air blades emerged, they revolved around Mera and shot out in all directions. Immediately, a nearby Crawler was instantly severed, the high intensity air shot out, like a thin and extremely sharp blade, cutting through the Crawler's tough and flexible skin like cutting through water.

But for Nightcrawler, such cuts were not strong enough to kill him.

The monster roared, showing that it had indeed taken quite a bit of damage. But it still didn't die.

"[Thunder Spear] and [Air Slash] are both mid-class magic skills with offensive power. But there is still a difference between the two."

[Thunder Spear], is the magic skill with the strongest attack power among the mid-class magic skill attack magic skills, so it can take down Nightcrawler in one hit.

"One [Air Slash] couldn't stop you, then two will do."

The thought flashed through Mera's mind, and a line was drawn on her hand.

The air seemed to curl, the air seemed to be cut in half, a second [Air Slash] was launched straight at the Nightcrawler. Even the scattered power of this attack had already cut through many Crawlers in its path. This was actually a manifestation of poor control of her power. If Mera could really create a more condensed attack, she wouldn't need the second slash.

With a crisp slicing sound, Nightcrawler's head and part of its shoulders flew into the air and fell off, disappearing into the mist below. The massive body of this terrifying monster also fell, momentarily knocking over another monster that was trying to climb up.

Looking at the pile of monsters left behind, Mera took a deep breath, then she opened her mouth, and... screamed.

[Air Scream].

A magic skill with an unimpressive name, but the effect it brings is quite terrifying. If sound is the vibration of air, then [Air Scream] will amplify the sound, through direction, pouring it straight into the enemy's eardrums.

When this happens, even an enemy with a fair amount of resistance to magic and physics will be temporarily deafened, and the consequences are not as simple as temporarily losing a sense. The one who suffers from this will also feel their balance being upset, the pressure difference caused by [Air Scream] will cause headaches, and even internal bleeding due to small blood vessels being crushed.

As for weak opponents, such as normal people, [Air Scream] can render them deaf and permanently incapacitated with just one hit.

That's for humans, but for monsters it's not much different, especially for monsters with humanoid forms like Crawlers.

Almost instantly, scores of Crawlers screamed in pain and fell to the ground. The loss of balance severely affected even the basic act of standing on two legs, let alone climbing.

Waiting for this moment, Mera delivered her killer move.

[Air Vortex].

A vortex formed by two convection currents swirled, turning into a tornado that swept down, knocking away or killing anything unfortunate enough to get in its way. Even the Crawler's claws were no match for the wind's power. In an instant, the entire defensive wall was cleared of enemies, leaving only stains smeared with monster blood.

Mera used [Fly] to return to the area above the city wall, where she was greeted by the awed gazes of the others.

Mera couldn't help but curl her lips, her chin raised, that's right, her position from now on was different.

Only Myra kept looking at her with a worried gaze, and a hint of anger.

"You..."

Myra really wanted to scold Mera for daring to do something so reckless. It was immediately covered up by Mera with a smile.

"Sister, I told you not to worry. I can handle everything!"

Myra sighed. She couldn't help but feel a little lost.

She already knew that Mera's talent was much better than hers, and also knew that one day her sister would surpass her, but she didn't think that day would come so soon.

Mera smiled, but she was actually hiding the temporary emptiness in her body. The feeling of sublimation when she first became a mid-class Magus had passed.

She is still far from her goal.

But, the destination was just ahead.

He was there, where she could see him.

As it turned out, Kain wasn't joking about leaving him alone to handle a battlefield. He wasn't being cocky, he was just stating a fact.

Mera secretly estimated that she probably couldn't hold an entire battlefield right now, but she still had the ability to clear the battlefield in a short period of time like she did just now.

Mera believes that, given more time, she can do the same.

Seeing the new wave of monsters surging up, Mera slightly squinted her eyes, and the air around her swirled again.

A new cycle of killing begins.
