“Alright then! Let’s go in.”
After hearing Brian’s reassurance, George also agreed. Five of them slowly entered the second level. But unlike the first level, the second level was very different.
It wasn’t exactly a room but rather a hole and there was a bridge. But, this wasn’t the only bridge. There were dozens of bridges above them and only at the top, there was a hole that leads to the third level.
Seeing this, Dave couldn’t help but turned his eyes at Brian and asked “Did you really have to make it so difficult?”
Brian rolled his eyes but didn’t reply. Slowly, the Fire Demons started emerging on each bridge. There were almost twenty to thirty on each bridge making it extremely difficult to reach the top.
He turned around and hurriedly spoke.
“Tempest, you stay behind. You will be responsible for supporting us. Dave, this time, go wild. Use Berserker Blood together with Hammer of Madness continuously.”
“George, don’t use your fire skill instead use your class ability. As for Sherly, this time you need to do something out of the box. Whenever we learn a skill, we learn how it is used. So, use the Yellow Lightning but in the way you use Spirit Bomb.”
“And, I will stay closer to Tempest in case anything bad happens. Let’s go!”
“Here I go!” Dave roared gathering everyone’s attention to him. His berserker blood was activated. Channeling mana into his hammer, he swings his arm.
Bang!-?(0)???.
His hammer struck the fire demon as if he was striking a home run, sending him flying. The fire demon took down a few more fire demons while flying away. Some of the fire demons fell off the bridge while some remained on the bridge.
“Hammer of Madness!”
As soon as he finished that attack, he stomped his foot on the ground and jumped. He launched his hammer down towards the dozens of fire demons. But, those fire demons dodged the attack and his hammer struck the bridge.
Bang!
When others saw it, except for Brian, everyone else was shocked. They were wondering why Brian didn’t want them to destroy the bridge and teleport to another bridge.
But, it turns out that even with Hammer of Madness, Dave can’t make a dent on this bridge.
‘Alright! I know how Spirit Bomb works. I know. Connecting different particles of mana to create a sphere. But… how the heck does that explode?’
‘No, he knows that I am not that smart. So, he must have thought of another way to use my Yellow Lightning. Wait a minute, my yellow lightning is already destructive. I just need to combine the yellow lightning into a sphere.’
‘Alright! Let’s do it.’
Sherly closed her eyes and opened her palms. They faced each other and she activated her Yellow Lightning Skill. But, this time, she controlled her Yellow Lightning, and instead of charging it out at once, she slowly let her Yellow Lightning move. ?(O)???
At this moment, she realized that when she was trying to control the speed of the yellow lightning, she is able to control its flow as well. She slowly circled with the yellow lighting coming out of her left hand.
Then, she connected the inner part of that lightning with the yellow lightning coming out of her right hand. Then, she rolled it in opposite direction to the lightning coming out of her left hand.
Slowly, two same lightning started circling from different directions, creating a strange yet perfect circle.
‘Wow! I thought she would simply try to merge her yellow lightning to make it bigger and then shape it but this is amazing. Now if she uses this sphere, she won’t just add the total destruction yellow lightning can cause, it will multiply.’
‘I bet it would be four times stronger than Yellow Lightning.’
Brian was in awe when he saw that. He didn’t expect Sherly to come up with such a plan. He sighed and turned around. At this moment, George was already using his class ability continuously, consuming his mana and slashing fire demons to death.
‘This is looking good but we are consuming too much mana. If we don’t finish this quickly, then we won’t make it to the next level. It seems like I need to cheat once again.’
Brian took a deep breath and walked towards Tempest.
“Teleport me to the second bridge as soon as they finish here. And, after that, teleport them and yourself to the second bridge. Continue this process without looking at my condition, understanding?”
Hearing the sharp tone from Brian, Tempest panicked.
“Don’t worry, I have a way to fix my problems later. But for now, I need to do something and you need to help me do this thing.”
Brian’s words finally reassured him and Tempest closed his eyes. As he entered a meditation state, Sherly threw her lightning sphere at the group of fire demons.
Bang!
As soon as the lightning sphere struck one of the fire demons, the sparks of yellow lightning spread out extremely fast, piercing the bodies of the fire demons. And, when those lightning sparks came out, the entire sphere expanded until almost every fire demon was caught inside it.
Fortunately, Tempest had already teleported Dave out of the influence of the sphere.
After the lightning sphere extinguished, everyone looked at the bodies of fire demons laying on the ground. Some had holes on their chest, some had holes on their head, and some had holes where they should be.
The blood coming out of their bodies covered that part of the bridge
(O)??? Seeing this, everyone turned their heads at Sherly. Their mouth was wide open. Even Brian was no exception. But, he quickly changed his plan and whispered next to Tempest.
“Change of plan! No self-sacrifice”
Tempest also nodded his head with his mouth opened wide. Everyone was shocked by the powers of those lightning bolts.
“Do you know how that worked?” Dave turned his head at Brian and asked.
“I would very much like to explain it but shouldn’t we go up and finish them. Since we have this attack, let’s change the strategy. Sherly, once we reach up, you focus on it and signal us.”
“We will get out of the way and let you finish it,” Brian spoke.
Sherly nodded her head and asked, “Can I ask you something?”
“Yes!” Brian nodded his head.
“I noticed something. This game looks more like a training arena for us. Is that how it was designed?” Sherly asked.
Her question made everyone wonder the same thing.
Brian shook his head and said “Actually, this is truly a game, like a literal game. Yes, there are things that normal games can’t achieve but you have to understand something.”
“This game is made in order to co-exist with Zero-Point Energy. And, the purpose of Zero-Point Energy is to evolve anything it merges with. That’s how vampires and others get stronger.”
“Initially, it was a complete game. The level system, the guild system, map, and dungeons, everything was just a game. But, when we merge this game with Zero-Point Energy, it evolved.”
“NPCs, the monsters, the dungeons, and even the world itself are evolving. But of course, the game is designed that way. I mean nobody could create a game where you can go in and get stronger. That’s not possible. What we did was use science.”
“Science doesn’t create things. It proves things. We found a way to prove that technology can work together with something we perceive as magic. We didn’t create this amazing training arena.”
“We create a game. Then, we merge that game with self-existing magic known as Zero-Point Energy and then we got New Gods. There will be many differences between the game and the real world.”
“For example, Tempest can’t even use normal elements outside the game. He has gotten a bit stronger but that’s it. He does have a lot of mana but that’s it. He can’t use the mana as he wishes in the real world.”
“But, as he continues to level up inside New Gods, his real body will change and one day he will be able to control the creation. Bookworm is known as the most broken class in UMA.”
“But, still nobody understands its value because the drawbacks are insane. Of course, if it didn’t have these drawbacks, UMA wouldn’t let us include such broken class in the game.”
Hearing his words, everyone gasped and looked at Tempest. They already know that Tempest was an overpowered player with his broken class. But, the more they hear about his class, the more they regret not choosing it.
“Don’t feel bad! Even if you had chosen it, you could never use this class as professionally as he did. That’s why I didn’t choose this class. Do you think you can read millions of books stored inside the libraries?”
“Tempest doesn’t level up like us. He needs to read. But, of course, he can still earn EXP and use EXP for something else, isn’t that right?”
