I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 406 Fire (5)

The answer was no, most dungeons had pretty straightforward entrances, and the floor could be seen from the trace, but the end of that spiral path couldn't be seen by them. In any case, while they watched the entrance, five golems left the dungeon, and Billy had the pleasure of freezing them completely. It wasn't impossible, but things wouldn't be that easy, Billy soon realized that. Still, he was recovering from the stress that he accumulated while doing that.

"Ah, this is relaxing," Billy said. "In any case, with all this hot air leaving the dungeon, I don't think that I can freeze the interior… Ice magic on a large scale will also lose a lot of power."

"We can do it if we are close enough, though," Sarah said. "It will be a battle of raw power… We just have to make sure that the hot air won't pass by us."

Billy could imagine what Sarah was thinking. It was a pretty unusual strategy that it didn't look like something she would come up with usually. As expected, she was too tired and was taking things a bit too harshly. Still, it wasn't a bad idea per se.

In simple terms, heat is the transfer of kinetic energy from one medium or object to another or from an energy source to a medium or object. Such energy transfer can occur in three ways: radiation, conduction, and convection. Billy knew that what was taking place there was the heat by convection, and which occurs when the motion of a liquid or gas carries energy from a warmer region to a cooler region. To make things cool down inside the dungeon, Billy will have to deal with the hot air as they get further. The question was how…

As they entered the dungeon, it didn't take long for them to be attacked by the fire Golems. Those things sure were violent… Still, Billy blocked their attacks by using an Earth wall. After dropping that on them, Billy pushed back the hot air to the interior of the dungeon, and his friends felt the temperature falling drastically. Sarah used that chance to fire some ice spheres that hit the Golems' heads and destroyed their cores after freezing them. While Billy managed to do what he wanted, he knew that he was just making things hotter ahead…

"Maybe it is a good time to learn how to control heat and use it as a tool in my favor, but can I separate the gases with my level of wind Manipulation?" Billy thought while he rubbed his chin.

Instead of separating gases, it was more accurate to say that Billy had to move the energy from the air to cool down things completely, but that was an ability that he didn't have yet. Still, it was what he needed to turn the terrain into an area that would be advantageous to them.

Billy knew that there were some machines that turn heat into electricity, but he didn't know how to make them. Trying to achieve the same process with magic wasn't something that he could do right now. Still, he did something else. Billy compressed the air in front of the group as much as possible and then made it envelop his body. Since it was compressed, Fire Resistance began to fight back against the damage caused by it alongside Heat Resistance. Billy began to sweat a lot of thanks to it, but his skills also got a lot of experience. Learning Fire Immunity might help even more, but Billy decided to go easy on those four hundred skill points. Using them to solve only that matter was too reckless.

"Billy…" Kate said.

"That is even more reckless than usual," Natalie said.

"Relax, my resistance against those types of elements is higher than yours because I explored the fire dungeon before," Billy said. "See? The effect didn't last for long. This much is nothing."

Truth to be told, his resistances weren't that much higher than the others. Still, Billy could take better the damage because he could heal himself while his body absorbed the heat. Hopefully, doing that a few more times will give him the inspiration necessary to come up with a better idea because he didn't think that he could endure that for too long.

In any case, the group had to go down for three hundred meters before they finally found a straight corridor. Since Billy was leading the path and Sarah was freezing the enemies, they weren't enduring the heat that much. So, they started to feel a bit guilty over it. The path ahead didn't need light since the fire Golems could illuminate everything around them. Without any other option, Kate decided to use Earth magic to block the enemies' fire Bullets.

Lily could attack with her Earth arrows even before Sarah could freeze the enemies, so she was fine. The only problem was the fact that Natalie and Alexander didn't know what to do. The burst of energy that Billy taught them wasn't perfect yet, and it was better to save their energy for a possible confrontation against the guardian of the dungeon. They weren't kids anymore, so they couldn't hope that Billy would give them orders.

Fortunately, they soon discovered what they could do to contribute. Natalie didn't like to put her swords aside, but she did that for the sake of the group. Alexander and her began to use Palm Cannon as soon as the fire Golems appeared. Even when they were fifty meters away, their skills could make the enemies almost fall. So that made the whole party gain some extra seconds in all fights to prepare, and that was more than enough. Thanks to that, Billy finally noticed something very obvious and worrisome… The monsters weren't emerging from the ground.
