My Level Zero System

From the location of the cut, Cecilia quickly rushed forward, heading straight for Kain and Myra. Both of them had expected this, but when facing Cecilia directly, the tension was still pushed extremely high.

Even though you know you won't die, the feeling of a sword near your neck is not something that anyone can get used to.

Two [Air Slash]s were fired from Cecilia's direction, flying straight towards Kain and Myra with an indestructible momentum. Facing this attack, both of them became small and lonely like two blades of grass in front of a strong wind.

However, even if a strong wind can cause the grass to sway continuously, its roots will still cling tightly to the ground, making it impossible for the wind, no matter how strong, to actually knock the grass down.

Only to see Myra suddenly turn to attack Kain, directly from close range giving him a [Fire Bullet] right in the middle of the chest.

This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone who was watching the match, but what happened next was even more shocking. After being hit, Kain didn't show any expression of surprise or anger. On the contrary, he had a strange smile on his face and automatically jumped out to shield Myra from Cecilia's [Air Slash] attack.

At this moment, such a powerful attack was blocked by Kain's frail body!

"It's the law!"

One person understands.

Myra attacked Kain, forcing him to the brink of death, thereby activating the invulnerability shield mechanism. Since Kain had previously demonstrated the ability to maintain consciousness in this half-dead state, this protection mechanism would naturally turn him into the most formidable living shield.

"Wait, if that's the case, then why did he have to let Myra attack him himself instead of activating this mechanism with Cecilia's attack?"

This idea popped into some people's heads. But what happened next made them even more surprised.

Right after using her invulnerable shield to block [Air Slash], Myra immediately placed both hands on his back and began to heal him.

The rules of the tournament are roughly as follows, if the shield is still in effect, the subject can receive treatment to continue fighting.

So, Kain created a tactic called "infinite shield reuse".

He and Myra will be the ones to do it.

When Cecilia attacks, Kain will let Myra attack him directly while he has dropped all his defenses, allowing him to set the conditions to activate the invulnerability shield.

Next, he will use his own body to stop Cecilia.

After stopping him, Kain will be pulled back from his near-death state by Myra behind him using [Heal].

And this can be repeated.

In this strategy, the key points are twofold. First, Kain's companion must have the necessary attack power, and second, Kain's companion must have the magic skill [Heal].

Of course, Kain also possessed [Heal], but in a near-death state, it was difficult for him to focus a bunch of magic skills on himself and heal himself at the same time.

Besides, the time the invulnerability shield is active is only a few seconds.

During this time, it is impossible for him to recover on his own.

Because once the restoration is performed, the invulnerability shield will disappear.

That means the time is even shortened to a negligible amount if Kain heals himself.

But if Kain doesn't heal himself in time, when the near-death state nears its end, he will be eliminated.

So, he needs a teammate to support.

Very quickly, Cecilia realized that the person before her eyes was basically impossible to kill.

Yes, even though Kain is currently very weak, she cannot eliminate him.

If it were before, Cecilia would have easily been able to discover Kain's trick.

But now, her main consciousness was off, leaving only a will similar to a fighting instinct controlling her body.

Kain admits that Cecilia is currently very strong, but in a way, losing her tactical vision is Cecilia's weakest point.

However, Kain himself knew that this state of affairs would not last forever.

Because his physical strength, which was already depleted before, was now even more depleted.

This is inevitable.

Even [Heal], or even [Regeneration], couldn't help Kain generate stamina from nothing.

However, his and Myra's mission was only one, which was to stall for time.

After a while, Kain suddenly slowed down a beat.

A wrong move.

He was fooled.

Myra's recovery couldn't reach him in time. So Kain was definitely eliminated.

Because Kain had to use [Heal] on himself, this moment was also the moment the impregnable shield disappeared.

Kain faced the blade that was now pressed against him.

Once again, he felt like he was facing death, even though he knew he wouldn't die.

Still, Kain remained steadfast.

After learning the secret behind magic, knowing that the thing called magic is closely related to the ego and psychological nature inside a person. Kain seemed to have realized something.

It was in many stories that Kain read that after the Magus were defeated, their magic quickly declined.

To others, these little stories were just something to read in their spare time. But Kain didn't feel that way, he seemed to recognize something hidden within.

Existence is reasonable.

And then, when connecting them to the nature of magic, Kain realized something.

Magus was defeated by the enemy, in his heart he consciously considered himself inferior to the enemy, unable to defeat the enemy. Therefore, that psychological implication also affected his magic, causing his magic to truly be unable to defeat the enemy.

If anyone heard this conclusion from Kain, they would probably just laugh and reply.

"It's easy, then just don't think about it."

Kain would probably just laugh, because this was so naive.

"Just don't think about it" sounds easy. But this is how the mind and subconscious mind work.

When you look at a red apple, the information that "the apple is red" naturally comes to mind.

You cannot stop thinking that the object in front of you is something other than a "red apple", because that is the result of your way of thinking.
