I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 407 Fire (6)

Billy decided to keep quiet about that issue in order not to put unnecessary worries on his friends' heads. Unfortunately, that was useless because they soon found something else weird with the dungeon… It didn't have any bifurcation. Moreover, after they had walked for half an hour, they found another spiral path that was going downward. That wasn't anything like they had heard or seen before... Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully wondering why things were like that. At first, he assumed that it was because the dungeon was never to become an ordinary dungeon and the dungeon break was planned all along and bifurcations would make the monsters waste their time while moving around. In any case, his friends soon began to point out those things.

"All right, this is too weird… I have been doing some research as well about dungeons and this one here doesn't follow the usual patterns at all," Kate said.

"Well, everything about this place is weird," Alexander said while shrugging. "The number of spawned monsters, the fact that this dungeon broke and soon as it appeared… The fact that the monsters don't emerge from the ground."

The others nodded since they had realized that as well. In the end, they weren't kids or idiots. Of course, they would notice something so obvious. Regardless, Billy couldn't explain what he was thinking was the reason for all that, nor could they imagine that Billy even had some guesses. In any case, they followed the spiral path while keeping their guard up.

After all that time, Billy was kind of tired of feeling that much heat. He thought of making some kind of weapon that could absorb that and use it in some way. Still, he failed even at creating rings that had the effects that he wanted, so making a weapon was even harder. Still, Billy ended up having an idea. As usual, he compressed a lot of the hot air and then created an iron layer around it. It wasn't that thick, so Billy didn't spend much mana. In the end, he threw those at the heads of the next fire Golems that appeared and made them explode.

You obtained 200 experience points.

The skill Wind Manipulation obtained 100 experience points.

The skill Earth Manipulation obtained 100 experience points.

"What the hell…" Alexander said, visibly surprised. "How can they explode? And how hot air can damage fire Golems?"

"That is because the impact destroyed the outer layer of the sphere and too much hot air was inside it," Billy explained. "Also, what damaged them wasn't the hot air, but the sudden expansion of it. It is a pity that this doesn't decrease the temperature around here."

Even the corpses of the fire Golems were contributing to that, so eventually, the temperature would keep increasing. Billy had two options, use his magic to push the hot air outside the dungeon or learn a skill that would help him convert heat into mana. There were other options, but those two were the most effective ones and achievable.

"All right, you guys will have to sit down and hid behind this," Billy said after he emerged a thick Earth wall and also put another block on it. "This should be enough to protect us when it returns."

The others had no idea what Billy was planning, but they decided to do as he told them. Once they did that, he sent a massive and powerful gust of wind toward the end of the dungeon. He had no idea how big that hellhole was, but he was certain that his magic would make a lot of the hot air leave the dungeon faster. In any case, Billy one entire of his reservoirs of mana, but even after a couple of minutes, he didn't feel the hot air coming. That was kind of worrisome… Maybe the Golems got on the away. Billy and the others didn't see them coming either, after all. His blast of wind probably made them fly to the end of the dungeon…

When Billy was about to give up, he felt the dungeon trembling, and then he took shelter behind the Earth walls. He did it just in time to see hot air passing by, pulling everything on the way to outside the dungeon. He expected at least that much since he probably used enough mana to create a two hundred meters tall tornadoes that last for a minute or two.

In any case, the burst of wind only stopped after two minutes, and Billy saw the air vibrating like crazy. He even had to repair the walls several times. Things almost got worse, but soon Billy realized that the temperature inside the dungeon had decreased again. Unfortunately, after a while, they found another downward spiral path… And the temperature began to increase the deeper they went.

"This is getting harder…" Alexander said while drinking a bottle of water. "We have been here for several hours and I drink water like crazy, but I don't feel like taking a piss."

"Mind your language in front of ladies," Lily said after she punched Alexander's side.

"Stop with your flirting and focus on the task ahead," Billy said.

"How is this flirting?" Alexander asked while frowning.

After a while, the group found many fire golems heading toward them. Billy's tactic probably knocked them out for a while, and they managed to get up at the same time. Hence, they were all together. Still, Sarah stopped them with her gust of cold air. That was her plan, but since her magic extinguished their flames, they ended up dying due to that… Although the tunnel was getting hotter, she could do that because it wasn't due to the aura left by the fire golems.

After going down a few times, around ten hours had passed, and Billy concluded that they were around five hundred meters deep underground. Once they arrived at that point, Billy began to feel a powerful presence ahead…
