Like the legends of old or even a tall tale that's hard for anyone to believe, the five of us are currently fighting a monster stronger than the infected. Drugged by a chemical that increases their overall strength as time passes. A tale of five individuals vs a hundred and more, what kind of situation did I get myself fucking involved?
"Earth array, Maze construction!!!" Morris used the remaining time of his spell to construct a maze to get an advantage of the area. While does his part, he was being supported by Blake who's restoring his stamina with his splash potion
The ground trembled when Morris manipulated the entire area with his spell that completely changed the structures of their area that of a maze. After his design was finally constructed he created four entrances on each side in the center. After he was finished with his duty, he wore the gas mask which was provided by Blake. They were able to avoid the effects of the monster evo gas that appeared out of nowhere
"Haste!!!" Shin yelled to activate one of her skills and she began running to the open path where she encountered a chimera. She uses the walls he created as her stepping stone and with her agility in play, she was able to safely maneuver her attacks. She slices their vitals before she moves to another target only for them to meet their end with her blade

'She'll be fine, her stats can help her last without any kind of backup though I'm worried about Gale… He's not built-in mobility. He focused everything on health, defense, and attack but his skills can make up for his stats. Even though it's fucking slow he hits like a truck that'll send you on an isekai journey,'

'Ughh shit this feels exactly like what would it feel to have your whole stamina drained out of your body and there wasn't a girl to be seen a sad life to the fullest potential,'
"Here drink this, it must be exhausting after using your mind to construct all of that. You can rely on me when it comes to potions, I'm going to be of great help," Blake reaches out his hand to give him a potion that was meant to restore his stamina
"Haaaa, thanks I'm feeling a lot better now. It's a good thing I've finished building this tower. With this, we can see the whole surrounding area which consists of a hundred or more chimeras. For now let's assist those two, Blake I need you to defend the other pathway," After he regained his stamina Morris fired a round of magic orbs at the chimeras
"Wait, are you seeing this!!!? Look there's a ton of them in this warehouse!!! It can't be, don't tell me they exceeded a hundred. There's something wrong with the system?" Even after they killed a dozen of their kind, they kept on charging from the maze he created. Blake notices something wrong with the spawn circle which was uncontrollably glitching
'How could I forget this is a trial for everyone… This means that we got tricked, this setting I remember writing about. Even though the trials are cleared, this trial can be repeated by a new batch of players to gain their share of the contribution points. The Gm's must have increased the difficulty because we're easily mowing the trial like it was nothing. Damn you Kishar!!! I won't forget this!!'
"Everyone fall back there's a change of plans and regroup immediately!!!" Morris fired a ton of magic orbs in the entrance where Gale and Shin were being overwhelmed in their area. After he was able to kill the ones closest to their location, he continued with his plan
When the three of them are making their way to the center, they saw Morris who was scribbling a ton of circles. He didn't waste a single second and continued writing down his circle spells on each side of the entrance. Whilst he has Blake dragged his worn-out body to the next one while he was handing him a potion. He continued to draw without a second to rest since his plan would decide the lives of everyone in their party
"You're all here… The two of you split up on each side Blake and I will cover the other two entrances. Shin, I need you to check out the area for anything unusual, once you're done get back here asap," Exhausted and restless from applying a ton of circle magic on each side of the entrance. Morris was getting sick and tired of overdosing his body for the fifth time he drank Blake's awful flavored potions
"Wait, why do I need to leave?" Shin asked the two of them whilst she had a minor confusion about their situation
"The chimeras aren't decreasing. It's the opposite. This place has been rigged by the Gm's. We need Ms. Shin to locate a hidden gate or anything like that. It's the only way!!!" Blake replied after he drives the sixth potion in Morris's mouth after he refuses to do so
"Blegh, that's the sixth time im getting sick of drinking a ton of potions… There's not going to be a next time right? I'll puke the seventh potion… Just as he said, we can't waste any more time we need to move," He made his way to his side of the entrance while the others supported his plans. Before Shin was to return by their side, they'll have to hold the entrance from the chimera's
[You're still alive? I thought you would've died after placing a ton of circle spells without a single rest… Though I'm not surprised in the slightest, how do you feel after your sixth potion? Do you feel like you want to die?]
"That's how far I'll go to get a ton of points. Seeing that you're active, are you giving me another mission? If not can I politely ask you to shut the fuck up!!!" His deity updated his system as soon as he curses him for interrupting his focus
'Holy shit he's trying to kill me!!? But if I think about it, the reward is quite valuable and for starters this shit is rare!!? I need to prepare for the mission, I have a way to make it possible… Looks like he's making me use my head if I decline this or not, I'll show you my growth, just you wait you crazy deity,'
Morris places his staff in his bag and took a pair of daggers while the chimeras are closing in on the four of them. They took their time preparing their weapons and activating their skills whilst they waited for their enemies to get close. His present finally appeared as soon as they got closer to his circles
[System: The player has activated the skill mana circulation. The player will now gain mana as simply as breathing]
While Morris was busy at his side, Yoona, Gale, And lastly Blake noticed his little surprise. On Gale's side, he was enhanced with the circle spells that contain his spell haste and heal along with his heavy yet powerful attack. Gale became an unstoppable tank that can't be brought to his feet, on Yoona's side she was getting a ton of mana supply
This made her use her skills without any need of preserving her mana, lastly, Blake's location was filled with a ton of aoe spells. It triggered as soon as the monsters got close, their sense of pain was enhanced when he threw a splash potion at chimera's smooth. They kept hacking the monsters until they heard a message that confirmed their completion
"Everyone, fall back," Morris said while he finished the last sketch of a gigantic circle in the center. One last time, he applied the mana inside his mana flower to activate its effect
Before the delay, he scribbled in the circle were to pass he left the scene once his circle started channeling his mana. It created a color that shows how much time he had before it finally activates once he escapes its range. His circle spell activated that was a combination of both his powerful spells, resulting in a powerful explosion
He was able to leave the range of the spell before his body would have been burned for the second time. After it was finished the four of them were in a state of confusion. Their ears were ringing and they suffered a severe injury when some of the rubble pierced through their flesh. The explosion he created made a wall of rubble that separated them from the monsters
"We're alive!!!" Gale yelled while the others sighed in relief at their survival
They took their time to restore their strength while they drink Blake's potion that rid them of all their injuries. Soon after they began their journey to Shin's location after they didn't hear from her once they set the other side of the warehouse on fire. She was close to their location since the artifact that the three of them gave each other started glowing brighter. They kept on moving forward and they slowed their pace after the four of them were exhausted
"A tracker ring I have one of those as well. It's a handy artifact for regrouping with a teammate," He showed his ring to Yoona upon seeing the same ring in the hands of his character
"Aren't you worried about them?" Yoona ask whilst he took a second before he finally answers her question
"I am who wouldn't be worried about their allies? But they're not average, one of them even has a blessing. She's pretty arrogant but loyal. The other one is a kid. He's a little clingy. They sound like a pain in the ass but they're the only ones I have," Morris looked intensely at his ring hoping even for a little flickering light to appear
Before Yoona could say anything, a part of the warehouse started contracting. The walls near their side started shaking and they couldn't do anything but run towards the noise only to see their missing ally at their front. Shin was safe and sound while she stood near the hidden entrance that appeared as soon as her presence was detected. However, it was locked and she tried her best to unlock its mechanism after she was given an important task
"You guys are late… I've been standing here for a long time," She wasn't a person who was honest with her feelings, but from that moment on. Shin was relieved after she found her teammates without anyone losing a limb or two
"Who the hell would miss someone like you?" After Gale said those words, Shin appeared on his back and gave him a powerful punch which she aimed at his liver
"Please everyone can I get your attention, we're about to enter the laboratory of the alchemist. I'm only gonna say this once but my deity might be correct that the one we're about to face is the human known as Deniro Alphas. The person that will become the mad alchemist," The door finally opened to reveal a powerful scent of monster evo gas that was closer to the one Morris had previously encountered
[System: Mission update you've found the laboratory of the alchemist responsible for the increasing Power of the infected
