My Level Zero System

At this moment, time seemed to stop, Leo and Katie held their breath, Leo didn't even have time to regret his rash actions.

The Crawler was only a few meters away from them, it did not have a large body, did not make creepy growls, but the silence that the Crawler brought was the most terrifying psychological weapon that this monster possessed, something that haunted many warriors for many years to come.

Leo did not consider making a move on this monster.

Not to mention that his [Water Magic] was not offensive in nature, and Leo was currently protecting someone who had almost no fighting ability. Once a fight broke out, there would be many variables.

So Leo just hoped that this Crawler would leave after not finding them.

Fortunately, although Leo couldn't even use all the magic skills in the [Dark Magic] magic system, his proficiency in using [Hide] wasn't low, the Crawler actually couldn't find them.

The monster thus gently went upstairs to continue searching. Seeing this clever appearance of something that was originally instinctive and mindless, both Leo and Katie could hardly hide the fear in their hearts.

"Is that thing gone yet?"

"Not sure, don't move."

The two of them lowered their voices to the lowest level, until it was as small as the sound of a fly.

The upstairs was so quiet that Leo couldn't help but feel strange. He raised his head and turned towards the stairs, just in time to catch a sight that almost made his soul leave his body.

Only to see, the Crawler's head was poking down at a small corner of the stairs, although it had no eyeballs, Leo could feel that it was staring at them.

Obviously, they were discovered, the source was probably from the two short and small exchanges just now.

This thing actually only pretended to go up to the second floor, but in reality, it was intentionally tricking them into showing their weakness.

Even though it couldn't be found, the monster knew its prey was here from start to finish.

"Damned!"

Cursing again, Leo felt that extreme danger was approaching, as a natural reflex, Leo waved his hand, a membrane of water appeared out of thin air, covering the area around Leo and Katie.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Water Bubble], that's the name of this magic skill.

As the Crawler lunged forward with its sharp claws, it clashed with the [Water Bubble]'s diaphragm. The sharp claws that could tear through steel were unable to reach Leo, even though the claws cut through water with ease.

That's because unlike [Earth Wall], [Water Bubble] never needed to rely on "hardness" to block attacks.

The essence of [Water Bubble] is not simply a fragile bubble, but rather it is like you are rolling a river into a sphere and wrapping it around yourself.

The river's constant movement will deflect and sweep away any attack directed at the subject, to an almost absolute degree. Unless the enemy facing the [Water Bubble] can be like Kain, a full-powered [Fire Bullet] will cause the entire river to vaporize and explode. The Crawler with only its claws and pure flesh cannot overcome the protection from the [Water Bubble].

That's why [Water Bubble] is the magic skill with the most impressive defense among the low-class magic skills.

But, the consumption is also very large.

Leo wasn't sure he could hold out long enough.

The Crawler continued to attack tirelessly, using all sorts of brutal clawing techniques. Many of its claws managed to pierce through the water, but were forced back by the water flow, causing Leo to sweat profusely.

At the last moment, a whip was thrown from outside into the house, tying itself to the Crawler's arm. The whip was extremely strong, causing even the Crawler to be unable to escape for a moment, and the monster was dragged out.

Then there was a huge explosion, and half of the monster's upper body was burned to ashes.

The ones who took action were of course Myra and Mera, Mera was in charge of pulling, and Myra was in charge of finishing.

Kain and Hector are also here, but their condition is surprising.

Kain was still fine, but Hector was now sweating profusely, he was clenching his teeth as if trying to hold back the pain, because his arms, especially the weakest part of his wrists, were almost deformed.

Leo quickly dispelled his magic skill and ran over.

"What happened?"

"Talk later, Katie, please treat him."

"It is my responsibility."

Katie nodded solemnly and began first aid, while Kain didn't even have time to look, he immediately ran outside and back into the thick fog.

Myra and Mera could only watch anxiously, but they had been told by Kain to defend here.

Even the two of them did not know the situation. Before that, they only saw Kain carrying the seriously injured Hector running back, telling them to withdraw the defense line towards the base.

Katie began to heal, she raised her hands, a gentle aura covered Hector's arms.

"Broken bones, severed tendons, even some flesh was crushed..."

Judging by the state of Hector's injuries, even Katie felt terrified. She couldn't believe that Hector hadn't used [Enhancement Body] when he was attacked, so whatever had caused Hector to become like this must have possessed terrifying physical strength.

[Heal].

[Regeneration].

Two magic skills were applied to Hector's arm, causing his shattered arm to gradually return to normal.

The mid-class magic skill [Regeneration] regenerates Hector's broken or fractured parts, while the low-class magic skill [Heal] regulates life force, allowing the regenerated parts to quickly integrate with the body, while also perfectly connecting with the body as before.

Very quickly, Hector's ugly expression softened somewhat. His eyebrows relaxed, indicating that the pain was gradually fading away.

Looking at his arm, which was almost perfect compared to before, Hector couldn't help but admire the wonder of [Life Magic]. If he had this magic, what was there to fear from getting injured?

However, Mera was impatient and immediately questioned Hector.

"Hey, what the hell happened just now?"

Mera's question seemed to have evoked some kind of terrifying memory for Hector, he opened his mouth, his voice still unable to hide the trembling.

"That time..."
