Inside the underground, Desmond, who had just entered, saw the passageway's state in front of him. "What the hell?"
The passage was no longer rock but a brownish-black mud also stuck to the walls; the walls look like clay instead of brick walls. Desmond looked down and found that the brick floor had turned into a ground filled with weeds.
He did not think the effect of his ritual also affected the entire underground "I remember; I only left it for one night."
Desmond slowly advanced, accompanied by a small ball of light circling his body for lighting. He didn't dare to go forward carelessly because this wasn't a place he was familiar with anymore.
The sound of feet stepping on the grass was so loud while Desmond, wearing shoes made of animal skin, felt an itchy ankle.
Desmond looked at his leg and found some strange ant biting his ankle. He uses a control element spell and creates wind on the inside of his shoe.
The winds that Desmond made then slowly brought the ant into Desmond's hand. "Strange, this ant is more bright in color than the usual ant."
The and had two horns towered upward in the head, along with four golden pincers on the mouth with legs like iron bars; this ant was considered 'normal' according to this world's books.
"It doesn't matter from where you look at it; if this ant were in my old world, it would have been targeted and hunted as an experimental material." The ant tried to bite Desmond's hand, but suddenly the body caught fire and became ashes.
Desmond used a wind spell to wash away the ashes as he walked back to survey the surroundings.
The illumination given by the small ball made Desmond see many strange beasts roaming this passage. "Apart from the change in texture, some mutated animals also live here." At this time, he had just seen some cockroaches that have 6 wings and rats that have two.
When he reached the middle of the passage, Desmond's steps came to a halt. In front of him was a thorny vine blocking the path.
Desmond stretched out his hand, and a magic circle formed on his palm, "Burn." Flames slowly shot out from the midpoint of Desmond's palm.
The flames then turned into a sword that was about the size of a log. This sword shot forward instantly, burning every vine blocking the rest of the passage way.
Apart from that, this sword also burned down the plants, weeds, and even the strange beasts that roamed the floor.
The fire sword seemed to have wings, filling the vision in front of Desmond. Desmond, who saw this, was a little surprised by the spell he cast. "Is it possible that my energy density has enchanted?"
Desmond looked at the flames he cast and found that the fire didn't even leave a burning trace of animal bones. "This must have something to do with the class change I got."
"Status."

"It's been a long time since I last checked my own stat," Desmond muttered. He then realized that there was something new in his stat." The + 0 must be Dragon essence that was said by the system.
"Well, for now, I had to get used to my new enchanted energy. Although the energy density is not as strong as the 2ndclass, at least It strong enough to battle with five 1st class, in my opinion. " But Desmond narrowed his eyes and found that he used more energy than usual.
Desmond sighed. "With great strength come a great price to pay." He noticed that the current spell consumed more energy, but it also increased the spell's attack power, even though it was only a built-in spell.
"But, as long as I can control this power, at least the energy consumption won't be that big."
Desmond then closed the transparent screen and looked forward. "Apparently, it was blocked by something." He only activated the spell one way, which means that the spell will continue to activate on its own until the energy in the spell run out.
But what Desmond saw at this moment was, the flaming sword was still alive, but it seemed like it had stabbed into something hard that even the wings of the sword could not melt that object.
Desmond walked forward while stopping the fire sword spell. The flame sword slowly shrank, returned to Desmond's hand, and disappeared in his hand.
"Well…" The 'something' blocking Desmond's sword was a big tree root that seemed to be frozen. This root also closes access to the ritual room. Desmond added, "I don't remember putting a spell here, which means." He tried to peek through the roots and saw the shadow of a person stretching hands to the ice root.
Desmond's lips curved upward, he then stretched his hand down and the ground beneath Demsond was alive.
The ground then formed a giant arrow. Not just one, but many giant arrows made of earth formed behind Desmond. "Fire." Desmond smiled and controlled the arrows to attack the ice root.
* boom * * boom * * boom *
The ice roots seemed to be stronger than they looked. The root can withstand attacks from 10 arrows at once.
* crack *
But as soon as the eleventh arrow shot straight at the same point, a crack appeared on the surface of the ice root.
Desmond, who was at the very front, saw this crack clearly. Even though he was in front of the root, his body was not hit by a single arrow or shards of ice cracks because he had coated himself with water; besides that, the arrows were arrows that he controlled.
* swoosh * * swoosh *
The sound of arrows that were like being released from a bow rang behind Desmond very loudly. It's like the arrows don't run out. As long as Desmond's energy and materials were still, he could even continue for the whole day.
The new arrows, striking the same crack until finally, the crack in the ice root looked already brittle.

"It's a waste too much ... but it's so much fun!" Desmond's eyes were shining; his expression was excited. It had been a long time since he had felt a sensation like this. "One last hit, bam!" The final arrow shot out; this time, Desmond only controlled one small arrow.
* swoosh *
Since the arrow's size was smaller than the previous arrow, this made the speed of the arrow faster as well.
* boom *
The roots of the giant tree that had been protected by a thick layer of ice had crumbled, exposing tree roots that seemed to be flammable.
"Hello, miss elf." After the ice was shattered, Desmond could clearly see the figure that activated this spell.
* pop *
Right after Desmond greeted her, he saw the elf vomit blood. The expression of that elf looks very pale; even her body looks very thin." That's very great, miss elf. You can even endure such conditions." Desmond praised the elf while observing the subsequent expressions.
The elf was a female elf that Desmond had bought at the auction. She had short yellow hair that was the hallmark of elves but with a body that was as seductive as a human.
At that time, she was hypnotized by a spell that made her unable to think, but her eyesight still worked.
When she saw Desmond activate a strange spell, it terrified her. Because when she was still in the elven country, she heard that spells that used elf blood were dangerous and deadly.
But the next thing she felt was the gentle touch of a small dragon; after the dragon touched it, she felt like she lost consciousness.
When she regained her sense, she didn't see anyone in the ritual room. Even the rich kid disappeared. This becomes her chance to run away, but who would have thought when she wanted to get ready she accidentally saw a strange creature that made her scream.
But the "creature" she saw was silent and didn't move. She tried to get close to the creature and found that it was a Demon child.
This made her remember that she was also locked up by this child in this room. She tried to check the boy's condition using a spell from her race.
A small tree root appeared from the ground below. The spells of elves are identical to nature; even their energy is different from that of humans.
The small roots then entered the demon child's body through the nostrils and mouth. After entering, the elf looked at the tree roots' condition beside her and found the tree roots slowly withering.
