BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - Weather (4)
Billy sighed when he heard that, while the guards of the dungeon looked at him in amazement. Few people had the courage to do that in front of Marie. As if that wasn\'t crazy enough, she treated that like it was no big deal. They thought that Billy was lucky since she was in a good mood because even kids aren\'t free of her fury.
By taking the shortest route, the group took three hours to reach the stairs to the fourth level. While they could have done things quickly, they only used their skills on the third floor. The weapons enhanced by magic that could split the Golems easily already surprised Marie, but the wind sphere left her speechless. Magic was really convenient… even the strongest members of her guild had to fight for a few seconds to defeat the golems.
"Why didn\'t you use that spell before?" Marie asked.
"Because I didn\'t know it at the time," Billy replied.
Marie didn\'t get that, it seemed like Billy was making fun of her, but Kate explained that it was a spell that he developed two days ago to deal with the Golems as fast as possible. She didn\'t think that magic could be that versatile, but then she realized that only Billy could use it for the time ending. However, Lily, Kate, and Sarah were already trying to replicate it.
"I can\'t fire a wind sphere, but it isn\'t like Billy\'s. It doesn\'t explode upon contact… I am guessing that the problem is the spinning," Lily said.
Kate and Sarah nodded. They were facing the same problem. In any case, once they learn that, the Golems truly would become Cannon fodder in front of them.
Regardless, all those preparations and skills will be useless against the new opponents… in theory. The next species had proper physical form so, Natalie, Alexander, and Lily will be able to fight without receiving constant support. The group checked their equipment before going to the next floor.
Once they climbed down the stairs, they frowned upon reaching the next area. The rough ground, walls, and ceiling were left behind and gave place to walls, floor, and ceiling made of a weird brick that it was blue and also emitted quite a lot of coldness. When Billy touched it, he didn\'t feel anything aside from the texture of the bricks. So, it seemed the feeling had a supernatural origin.

The aquatic beasts sure looked the part when they appeared. While they looked and had the same size as humans, they had a lot more muscles, and their bodies were blue. Aside from that, they had some long claws and fangs that were literally made of metal, so getting scratched by those won\'t only hurt, but it will also make them lose a good part of their skin. Despite that, everyone looked pretty eager for a fight since the Golems made them experience many stressful situations...
Three of them spawned in front of them, so Alexander and Natalie took one each. Kate and Lily began to attack the remaining, but the creature repelled the projectiles as it charged toward them. Kate tried to use one of her spears for defense, but the beast just punched it and made it fly to the distance.
Billy decided to stop the beast and fired a wind sphere. The monster just tried to Slash the projectile, but in the end, it regretted that. Its arms were sent in the opposite direction when the sphere exploded, making a lot of skin from its arms to be shredded. The arm also made a weird noise since it was bent in the opposite direction. It broke, so Lily and Kate could attack without worrying about all of their projectiles being blocked.
Billy looked toward Alexander and Natalie and saw them struggling quite a bit. The monsters were stronger and faster, after all. They weren\'t being overwhelmed because those two sure were skilled. Despite that, Billy decided not to intervene, at least not for now.
"Aren\'t you going to help them?" Marie asked. "I can\'t see them winning against them by themselves."
"I am not so sure about that," Billy said.
After a while, Alexander and Natalie stopped attacking and took a step backward. At the same time, they fixed their stances and stopped moving. It wasn\'t their style to wait for the opponents like that, but they realized that they couldn\'t win just by attacking recklessly. In the end, they found different answers as to how to fight those creatures. When one of those dashed toward Alexander, he used Quick Spear, and for a moment, his attack speed was equal to the monster. However, having the same speed and a longer weapon meant that Alexander had the advantage. It didn\'t take long, and the beast began to miss its timing, and its arms began to be pierced mercilessly by his spear.
Without those, the monster could only bite Alexander, but he wouldn\'t let that happen.. His many attacks continued until the monster was left with many holes in its body and fell dead.
