Kain rested for another day, and ate the rest of his food, which restored his health to its best.
Then, he entered the territory of the guardian monster. It was a room, or more specifically, a very large stone room with a cylindrical structure.
In the middle of it stood a tall creature. It was a Reaper with three arms, and the Reaper's skin was so thick and long that the Reaper's skin almost looked like a cloak.
This Reaper held a long-handled scythe in both hands, and the third arm held a smaller scythe like the previous Reapers. Before Kain entered, this thing had always stood still, never leaving this room. Because it was a guardian monster.
The Dungeon had an immutable rule that guardian monsters would never leave their territory, while other monsters could completely leave the Dungeon. As soon as Kain entered the room, the Reaper reacted.
This was an atmosphere extremely unusual compared to anything Kain had ever experienced before.
It was a sense of danger, a sense of death that was even more evident than when Kain faced the bone centipede.
For the first time, Kain's mind went blank, the only thing left was his instinct.
Run!
Kain jumped to the side, his entire body rolling on the ground, all just to avoid the long-handled sickle that had just been swung horizontally.
[Thunder Bullet].
The lightning ball was released, but the monster did not sit still and wait for the [Thunder Bullet] to hit its body like other monsters.
The sound of the wind tearing as the scythe swung rang out, the lightning ball that was flying at high speed was cut in half in mid-air.
[Thunder Summon]
However, Kain had used two magic skills at the same time, he thought that although this Reaper could somehow avoid a single-target attack like [Thunder Bullet], it would not be able to be ignored.
It would overcome a wide-area attack like [Thunder Summon]. And Kain was right. Lightning struck the Reaper from above its head, causing its flesh to smoke in some places.
However, [Thunder Summon level 2] was too weak, this magic skill could not even cause paralysis to this Reaper.
Taking that opportunity, Kain also ran out of the Reaper's territory and the battle stopped.
Kain lay on his back on the ground, panting continuously, then raised his hand to his neck.
Although there was no cut on his neck, Kain still felt the scythe pressing against his neck.
This monster was really strong, its speed, its strength, its reflexes, its weapon, and its resistance. Every aspect was very high, with almost no weaknesses.
Moreover, the corpse scythe was also one of the factors that made Kain not dare to fight in close combat, because just one slash to the flesh would kill him.
In his mind, Kain began to write down countless strategies, but they all led to one result, which was defeat against the Reaper.
Even if Kain won, he would still be killed by the Reaper's necrosis effect. In other words, these strategies had such a low success rate that the success rate could be considered zero.
Suddenly, he suddenly came up with another idea. Checking his personal belongings, Kain found that although his food was gone, he still had water to drink.
"Can this be done?"
Kain began to make predictions and simulations in his head, this plan might succeed, but the failure rate was also very high.
It was just that this was the best plan he could think of right now. So he decided to carry it out. And that plan was... to sit and wait.
Kain waited in the dungeon, barely moving to avoid consuming too much energy in his body. Without food, this was the only way Kain could think of to survive the day.
Every day he only drank water, constantly thinking about the Reaper attack that day. Just like that, two weeks passed.
The Dungeon had added a new batch of monsters to replace the old monsters that had been killed before. At this stage, only Zombies, Slimes, and normal Reapers appeared, but Eyl and the sickle-wielding Reaper had yet to appear.
Knowing that these monsters had arrived, Kain began to stand up, because he had been waiting for this moment.
Kain, carrying an empty stomach, began to hunt down the newly appeared monsters.
At this moment, he looked extremely miserable, his eye sockets became deep, his lips were pale and lifeless, and his whole body became thin.
However, his strength not only did not decrease, but instead increased, like a wild beast, pushed to the brink, it would unleash a much greater force than usual.
Each monster was quickly killed by Kain. Without those hateful eyes, Kain's monster killing speed increased significantly, almost without any problems.
Just like that, he had obtained a lot of skill points, and this was Kain's goal.

[Thunder Navigation] is the skill that requires the most skill points to upgrade, not without reason. It is for this reason that Kain decided to "invest" in this magic skill.
Thanks to this magic skill, Kain can finally adopt a new fighting style. After spending three short days killing all the monsters, Kain faced the Reaper once again.
But this time he would not lose. From the moment he entered the room, Kain immediately ran away, avoiding direct combat.
To increase his chances of success, Kain occasionally used [Thunder Bullet], forcing Reaper to stop, chasing and slashing the lightning ball. He had to prolong this state for as long as possible.
