Ring! Ring!
"Huh! Brian is actually calling me? Wait, DragonRider97.... What the hell? He is the one who created the skill?" A ten-foot-tall man opened his eyes wide and muttered. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
He was none other than James. Seeing his friend calling him, he got excited but after seeing that friend was none other than DragonRider97, he got frightened and speechless.
ραꪒⅆα-ꪒꪫꪥꫀꪶ "Hey Bravesoul, we need defense. Hurry up!" A man holding a sword shouted while looking at a giant twenty-foot-tall moving tree. There were six others who were trying to attack the tree but with its dozens of branches stretching out, it was difficult to strike a hit.
James looked at his team and declined the call.
"Taint, let's make this quick!" James ran towards the tree while taking out a giant circular shield from his inventory. James went straight towards the giant tree that saw him coming and stretched out a sharp branch.
Krink!
The branch collided with his shield and tried to push him away but with the strength of a giant, he didn't even move an inch.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Krink! Krink! Krink!
When James blocked its attack, the tree shot a few more towards him but none of them passed through his shield.
"Guys, now!"ᴘᴀ ɴ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠᴇʟ
James shouted. Taint, the leader of this party rushed towards the tree with his sword. His mana erupted out and coated his sword.
"Sword of Fire Demon Atharog!"
Klack!
His sword made a power cut in the tree while leaving the flames on it.
"Class Ability- Giant Firebird!"
Caw!
The tree tried to remove the flames but one of the mages from their group shot a huge bird made out of flames. Her mage class gave her Firebird ability which was pretty cool. The tree shot dozens of branches towards the firebird but they only pierced it and got burned by it.
As soon as the firebird collided with a tree, it started burning. At the same time, another man from the side swings two chain hammers and struck the tree with his full power.
"Hah!"
James pushed back the branches and dashed away from the tree. At this moment, the last partner of their group walked towards the tree. He was wearing a yellow shawl. His head was completely bald as well.
At this moment, the tree was in bad condition. Its stem was covered in flames and its branches were broken by the chain hammer. It was trying to recover but it wasn't working for it. The monk walked straight while chanting a few words. pᴀɴda nᴏvel
He raised his hand and his palm faced the tree. He took a deep breath and the mana flowed out of his body at an immense speed and quantity. All of that man condensed at his palm and the next moment, mana came out of his palm.
"Class Ability- Tathagata Palm!"
Bang!
The mana transformed into a magical palm that was nearly the same size as his own body. It went straight towards the tree and collided with it. The palm destroyed its stem and branches without destroying the flames.
When the stem, the tree couldn't heal itself and the flames completely burned it out.
"Guys, it still feels so weird to spell that out." The monk turns around and adjusts his mouth.

"Nice! I finally got enough EXP to reach level 10. Now, we can go even deeper." Taint spoke excitedly while putting his sword inside the sheath.
"Uh! Guys, I have to do something. Can you guys continue without me for a while?" James opened his status panel and asked while looking a little unnatural.
Taint and others looked at each other.
"Bravesoul, we are a team, right?" Taint looked at him and asked.
"Yeah, we are."James slightly frowned but still replied.
"So, are you just going to leave now? We planned to grind monster the entire night, remember? You can't just leave now." Taint answered with a serious look on his face.
"I know I promised you. And, I really don't want to leave and I am not even sure if I will be gone for more than five minutes. I will definitely return as soon as possible. Don't worry, it's just a call." James smiled and tried to calm them down while moving away from them.
"He isn't planning to return soon, is he?" The monk looked at Taint and asked.
"Well, he said that he will return after taking this call. Maybe it's some sort of secret call. Let's just wait for a few minutes and recuperate while he returns." The mage suggested while sitting on the stone nearby.
"Alright! Let's wait for a while." Taint gave James's path a deep stare and nodded his head.
On another side,
"Dude, what happened? Why did you call me all of a sudden?" James asked in front of the status panel which showed Brain's id.
"I had something to ask. Did the Mega-Dungeon start already?" Brian's voice rang from the status panel.
"Don't tell me that you didn't know this! It was announced in the morning. For some unknown reason, UMA decided to launch the Mega-Dungeon today. And, don't worry if you are under level ten. Even if you are under level ten, you can still participate."
"By the way, are you in a group? If you are not, then you can join us." James asked with a lot of enthusiasm in his tone.
Hearing his words, Brian paused for a moment and said "I don't think I can go with you right now. By the way, there is something that I wanted to tell you tomorrow. Can you drop by?"
"You never really call unless it is something that you don't know. And, there are very few things that you don't know. You didn't know about this announcement. Are you in some kind of problem?" James asked with a serious voice.
"Stop being so much of a detective. I have no problem. Just drop by my home tomorrow. I have something to tell you. By the way, have you contacted Barry?" Brian asked.
"Nope! He seems to be even busier than before. I guess you got really lucky by leaving UMA two years ago." James answered.
"Alright then! I will tell him to visit whenever he returns home. By the way, I have also finished building up the device you told me about. But, why would you need something to control your rage? From someone who knows you for years, I have never seen you angry." Brian asked.
"Wait, don't tell me you aren't going through this?" James asked.
"Going through what?" Brian asked with confusion. First, his closest friend asked him to build something for him that he didn't need and now he is talking about something he didn't understand.
"I guess it is happening in a different sense. Anyway, I will drop by tomorrow. For now, I need to go back. Bye!" Saying so, James cuts off the call and looks up into the sky. It was the night time but everywhere it was bright due to artificial lights.
James clenched his fist and thought 'He isn't feeling it. Maybe he isn't what I am. Anyway, Brian, I hope you have built a complete device. I don't know what's going to happen but I found the clue that I have to control my anger from the moment I turn twenty-five.'
'You are one of the smartest people on the earth, Brian. It must work otherwise I don't know what's going to happen.'
James sighed and finally dashed towards his team.
On another side of the forest, Brian was dumbfounded by how fast James cut off the call.
'Something is wrong with him! He isn't acting like before as if he is afraid of getting angry. But, why? Why would he be afraid of getting angry? He won't turn into an angry monster, would he?'
Brian chuckles and shook his head 'Anyway, I have completed the task he gave me and since tomorrow is his birthday as well, it will be a gift from me.'
'And, I also need to tell him about Ely and Char. It's pity that Barry is still in UMA. I don't want to tell something like this to him on a phone. Man, our technology has gone so far but it still feels to share good news face to face. By the way, why did they suddenly launch the mega-dungeon?'
Thinking so, his face slowly turned solemn as he thought more.
'Mega-Dungeons are made as a boost for humanity. It gives the humans a chance to improve from level ten to twenty in one or two days. Not only did they launch it beforehand but also changed the restriction.'
'No! Vampires and Werewolves won't allow this in any case. This will definitely shift the balance. But since they did it anyway, this means they got bigger trouble on their plate.'
Brian frowned and looked at the sky as his eyes shrunk.
'Don't tell me the second wave is coming soon? I am getting a bad premonition about this.'
