“Tempest, you can create a mana barrier right?” Brian ignored Dave and asked Tempest.
?(O)??? Tempest nodded his head and Brian continued “Alright then! We will use a little bit of chemistry here.”
“Tempest, I want you to create Mana Barrier around all of us. It needs to be fully airproof. Once you do that, George will use his fire skill to heat up the poison I have.”
“The poison is in liquid form which means if we heat it until it evaporates, the poison will spread out. Then, I can use the Dragon Twister to guide the poison gas inside the third level and use it against the fire demons.”
“We won’t be able to kill everyone but the number will decrease by a hundred and the effect of poison will vanish.”
“But, mana barrier won’t work if you use Dragon Twister.” Tempest interrupted.
“Yes, but I don’t need a mana barrier when I use Dragon Twister. I can manipulate the wind around me to contain the poison in it.” Brian replied.
“But, warlocks weakness is poison. Even if it doesn’t reach you, it will still affect you.” Tempest shook his head and responded.
“Then, do you have any other plans?” Brian sighed and asked. He was indeed taking a risk but the risk was worth it. If he kills 100 fire demons, he can level up before facing other fire demons.
“I think I might have a solution.” Sherly slowly raised her hand and spoke.
“Yes?” Brian looked at her with surprise and asked.
“After creating the poison gas, I might be able to use my mana to contain it inside the Spirit Bomb. After all, Spirit Bomb is like a sphere of wind but that wind is mana. And unlike you, my mana barrier won’t disappear while I use Spirit Bomb.”
Hearing her words, Brian was slightly stunned. In fact, he was only stunned because Sherly came up with such a brilliant idea. But, his eyes narrowed down a little as he asked “Are you sure you can control your Spirit Bomb well?”
Sherly shook her head and said “I am not sure but it is my class ability and I have used it a lot. Now that I also created Yellow Lightning Sphere, I feel like I can control it better.”
“Alright then!” Brian immediately took out the sac of poison and looked at Tempest. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, a green barrier emerged around everyone. It was quite the shape of an egg but mana could still go out.
Of course, mana can’t come in. It was designed in such a way. After getting his signal, George took out his sword and activated his skill. His mana burst out in the form of red flames and covered his sword.
Boom!
George charged a lot of mana into his sword and the flames just exploded out of his sword. Since George can’t break the barrier with his sword, he can only let the flames out by overusing his mana.
Brian put the poison sac at the stone and George started burning it. The entire poison sac disappeared into the poisonous vapor in less than two minutes. Suddenly, a layer of mana flowed around the poisonous vapor and the vapor followed the mana’s direction. It made a circle and returned to Sherly. She was constantly releasing her mana to spin the poisonous vapor into a ball of poisonous wind.
It actually worked. But, Sherly was sweating a lot. The level of concentration to manipulate something else through her mana was hard especially when she hasn’t done it before.
Thanks to the barrier, even if there was poisonous vapor left in the surrounding, it wouldn’t matter to them. Finally, Brian led the team inside the hole.
When they reached at the end of the hole, they saw a huge army of Fire Demons on one corner, talking, drinking, and doing a lot of different stuff like humans.
Brian turned around and asked, “How far can you send this Poisonous Bomb?”
“How about calling it ‘Poison Cannonball’?” Suddenly, Dave interrupted with a proud tone.
Both of them ignored him. Sherly looked at the distance between them and the fire demons. She shook her head and said “They are too far away. I can only send it to the middle.”
“Hmm! Tempest, have you ever done multiple skill tricks?” Brian looked at Tempest and asked.
Tempest nodded his head like a puppy, full of excitement.
“Good, then you will maintain the barrier while teleporting someone back here. And, that someone would be Dave. He will go out and use his Hundred Hammer Strikes to attract the enemy towards him.”
“At that moment, Sherly will throw her Poisonous Cannonball and you will teleport Dave here. Can you do it?” Brian asked.
Tempest nodded his head with a determined expression.
“Why do I feel like you are doing everything to impress him?” Dave looked at Tempest with a suspicious gaze and asked.
But, Tempest turned shy about this question. Brian patted Dave’s shoulder and said “Alright, it’s your turn to show some madness.”
“Since you called it Poisonous Cannonball, I shall show you something new today.” Dave proudly smiled and walked towards the Fire Demon. Although he was visible and not that far from them, none of the Fire Demons noticed until he reached the middle of the room.
This giant room was almost a hundred determiners from one end to another. So, even though they noticed him, they were still far.
Dave took a deep breath and suddenly roared. His mana burst out and condensed an image of a giant warrior in armor behind him. This image filled him with intense strength.
“Class Ability- Berserker Soul!”
Bang!
He stomped his foot on the ground and flew tens of meters in the air. He exchanged his normal hammer for the size of a giant hammer. The fire demons crowded in front o him.
Finally, he held the hammer tightly and slammed it on the fire demons, but in less than a mini-second, he slammed it again.
“Hundred Hammer Strike!”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
In less than four seconds, he slammed his hammer twenty times and killed nearly twenty of the fire demons, scattering many others.
“Sherly now!” Brian instructed Sherly and she shot her Poisonous Cannonball towards Dave. At this moment, nearly three hundred and eighty fire demons were getting closer to him.
“Teleport!”
Boom!
Dave’s figure slowly blurred and the next moment, he appeared behind Tempest while the Poisonous Cannonball struck the fire demon and exploded. That explosion spread out the poisonous gas.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Just as the system suggested, one hundred Fire Demons died and their EXP just exploded. At this moment, Dave, Sherly, George, and Brian got the notification panels in front of them at the same time.
[Your EXP is full]
[You leveled up]
[You obtained 10SP]
In less than ten seconds, four of the level up. Sherly and George reached lvl.17. Dave reached lvl.16 and Brian reached lvl. 13. Without any hesitation, Brian opened up his status.

“Ugh! Every time I look at the EXP number, it hurts my head. Just how are we going to level up like this?” Dave looked at his own status and shouted in dissatisfaction.
“That’s why we made dungeons. Let’s go and level up!” Brian took out two potions and instantly drank them without hesitation.
[Your STR stat has been doubled]
[Time limit- Two Minutes]
[Your AGI stat has reached 80 (Temporary)]
[Time limit- Two Minutes]
“Alright everyone, use everything you got at once.” Brian shouted and five of them rushed towards the hordes of fire demons who were also rushing towards them.
“Class Ability- Berserker Soul”
“Hundred Hammer Strike!”
Dave took the lead with his hammer. George followed behind him with deadly sword skill, cutting them into pieces. Sherly shot dozens of Yellow Lightning Bolts at them,
Tempest condensed a few swords and shot at them. As for Brian, he released his dark attribute instantly. His strength was doubled and the power in his arms has increased by a lot. His speed was faster as well.
Brian narrowed his eyes looking at the horde of fire demons and his lips curled. A new idea emerged in mind that he was dying to taste.
“System, use 30 SP in Magic!”
In less than ten seconds, he reached the middle of the fire demons. He kicked the ground and jumped high in the air. Suddenly, his dark mana formed an illusion behind him but it wasn’t an illusion.
A demon-headed figure with hundred arms appeared behind him, each arm holding a sword. At this moment, the dark mana reached out to his eyes, turning them purplish. When he opened his eyes and his body fell, the demon with hundred arms slashed a hundred swords.
