My Daughter is a Vampire

Chapter 62 Fire Demon Dungeon Part 6

Tempest nodded his head and said “Indeed! I can use EXP to improve my skills. It’s the same as Skill Upgrade Rune but a little worse.”

“Well, I wouldn’t call it worse if you can literally earn it by killing monsters.” Brian was a little speechless when Tempest compared his special EXP to Skill Upgrade Rune.

“Wait, how many skills do you have?” George suddenly interrupted and asked with confusion in his eyes. He has seen Tempest using several skills.

“Everything I create can be a skill but it’s not a skill that gets recognized by the system like his. After all, I am just using my own class to create a skill that fits my class. I am not going out of the box.”

“So, even though my attacks were powerful, it wouldn’t get recognized as a skill by the system. Though I can upgrade them since they show up my status as skills.”

“And, do you know? I can use those skills in the real world. I have successfully leveled up a skill ‘Heal’ to lvl.5 and now I can use it to heal people in the real world.” Tempest gleefully explained.

He was really happy that he chose this class. Of course, he also understands the difficulty of this class. If you can’t read, you won’t be able to do all that fun stuff.

So, you must continuously read.

“I really envy your class. But then again, if I had chosen it, I could never be good as you. I couldn’t even read the textbook during my school life. How could I ever read millions of books?” Dave sighed bitterly.

“Yeah! How do you actually make time to read? You play with us at least eight hours a day but you still manage to level up.” George suspiciously glanced at him and asked.

Hearing his words, Brian’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked at Tempest and said, “Don’t tell me you modified your pod?”

Tempest immediately raised his hands and spoke “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I wanted to read while playing and since our consciousness is split in half while we are inside the game, I used this chance to continue my reading.”

“What does that even mean? Science Please!” Sherly looked at Brian and asked.

Brian slapped his forehead and sighed “He is playing with his brain. Normally, whenever we enter the pod, it splits our consciousness into two. One consciousness enters the game and another consciousness sleeps.”

“This is why we can play this game for days without taking any rest. But, he modified the pod and inserted a separate protocol that sends the text of the books into his second consciousness which was supposed to be asleep.”_-?(0)???.

“It is a technique created a decade ago to use the human brain continuously in order to gain more knowledge. But, the side effects are severe, one might lose his personality, drown in madness and even lose his brain.”

Suddenly, Tempest interrupted “Not if we sleep in another time.”

“But, wouldn’t that make things the same? Why would need to read like that if you still sleep later?” Sherly looked at him with confusion and asked.

Instead of Tempest, Brian replied “It’s because reading is sleep is twice as effective. At that moment, our brain is completely isolated from everything else. It’s like having 2x EXP Card and inside a dungeon full of monsters.”

?(O)??? “So, you are basically cheating as well.” Dave glared at Tempest and spoke coldly.

“What do you mean as well?” Brian looked at Dave and asked.

Dave rolled his eyes and said, “You are basically cheating everywhere.”

Brian shrugged his shoulders and rebuked “I am not cheating.”

“Yes, you are.” Everyone responded at the same time.

“No, no, you don’t understand. I am not cheating.” Brian smirked gleefully and said, “I am a cheat.”

When four of them heard his words, they rolled their eyes. Brian wasn’t really cheating but his existence in the game was a cheat.

After all, he was the one who created this game. Even though he can’t simply just level up to lvl.100 at once, he still has a lot of shortcuts and secret knowledge.

“Anyway, let’s go up and clear this dungeon.” Brian walked towards the other side of the bridge and pulled a liver.

Crack! Crack! Crack! _?(O)???

Suddenly, a long stair emerged from the second bridge and connect to the first bridge. Seeing this, George looked at Brian and asked “So, we can’t just teleport to the top, can we?”

Brian shook his head and they climbed up the stairs. As soon as one of them stepped on the second floor, the fire demons charged toward them. Brian stopped them and took out two of his swords.

He released his hidden attribute and the dark mana emerged out of his hands, slowly coating his swords.

“Sherly, Tempest, get ready!”

Saying so, Brian dashed towards the fire demons with the dark swords. The mana wasn’t just coating his swords but also infusing inside them to enhance their durability.

“Modified Version”

“First Stance- Dark Dragon Twister!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Splash! Splash! Splash!

His upper body swung as well as his swords. The dark swords conjured the dark tornado around him, swallowing the fire demons into the tornado and cutting their bodies.

In less than ten seconds, the tornado vanished but at the same time, ten of the fire demons died while five of them fell down from the bridge.

“Teleport!”

“Yellow Lightning Sphere!”

Suddenly, Brian’s figure blurred as he disappeared from the middle of the fire demons and a large ball of yellow lightning moved toward the fire demons.

Bang!

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

The sphere of yellow lightning slowly expanded, swallowing those fire demons inside the constant flow of lightning bolts at an incredible speed. After ten seconds, the yellow light sphere vanished and fifteen bodies fell to the ground.

All of them were dead.

Brian turned his eyes at her and asked “How much MP does it costs?”

“Half!” Sherly turned serious when she replied.

Brian nodded his head and said “Consume our mana restoration potion to recover. Until we reach the third level, we shouldn’t use Power Potion and Haste Potion.”

“Alright!” Saying so, she asked for a mana restoration potion from Brian and drank it. Brian was speechless when he was the one who had to spend the mana restoration potion.

After restoring her mana, Brian pulled the liver and they climbed up.

“Dave, it’s your turn this time.”

Brian wanted to use the dark mana but his body wasn’t ready for it. He was in a weakened state and he didn’t recover with Healing Potion.

Dave nodded his head and pounced towards them. He instantly used his Hundred Hammer Strike and managed to distract all of those fire demons. Finally, Sherly used her Yellow Lightning Sphere and finished them.

They continued like this until they killed all two hundred fire demons. Their EXP exploded to the roof.

After finishing the second level, they all rested outside the hole. They wanted to make sure that they were ready to face off the third floor.

In New Gods, leveling up as they go higher is really hard. So, the potions were very important to them. If they don’t have enough potions, they won’t able to kill hundreds of thousands of monsters and level up.

It was the only way. In New Gods, killing more monsters was the only way to improve. Brian sat at the corner and opened his status.

‘I really need to stack up against my inventory next time, especially with potions. By the way, I haven’t used the poison sac til now. Is there anything I can do with Poison Sac right now?’

‘Liquid form? Wait, what if we change its form into a gas? But we need something to protect ourselves.’ Suddenly, Brian’s eyes fell on Tempest.

‘And, we have a perfect person for this.’

Brian called everyone near him and started explaining his plan.

“In the third level, there will be four hundred fire demons and the Fire Demon Lord. How about we work on something to decrease the number?”

“Like how?” Dave looked at him and asked.
