"Status!" Kameron yelled as he ran to the village while seeing even more black smoke rise in the air, through the tops of the trees.

Kameron was beginning to see small buildings through the trees so he knew it would take a few more seconds to get to the village.
If you are wondering why he didn't use his movement speed skill to reach the village faster, he was saving it just in case there was a kind of sneak attack or ambush waiting.
Luckily there was no such thing as Kameron burst out of the forest in front of the village. There, he began hearing the screams of people and the clash of steel inside of the village. Some buildings had begun to burn but he didn't care about what caused it as he ran through the entrance of the village before stopping immediately.
As he looked around shocked at what he saw, his heart went cold and his mind worked overdrive to guess reasons for what he was seeing.
Trails of blood and dead bodies littered the street. Some bodies weren't even intact and even children were not spared. Dozens of male villagers were dead on the ground with swords beside them. A few bodies had their entrails hanging out of their stomach, while others were burnt to a crisp by magic.
"Who would do this..." Kameron asked as he began to run deeper into the village following the screams of what was left of the villagers. He felt like throwing up as he looked at bodies missing their lower half's.
"Whoever did this to these innocent people... they will pay!" He declared as a dark red aura began to surface on his body. He didn't take notice of it as it was hidden under his armor though. As he kept running through the streets littered with dead bodies, Kameron finally reaching the source of the screaming and crying.
There, at what appeared to be the center of the village where multiple roads converged, he saw almost a dozen male villagers protecting a group of elders, women, and children huddled up by a bell in the center.
Opposing them were a group of a couple of dozen people in black armor, some had helmets while others didn't and their features were easily noticed. These few people with no helmets on had horns poking out of their forehead, making it easy for Kameron to identify them as there weren't many things they could be.
"Demons..." he said in his mind began to calm down as he retrieved his sword out of his inventory while also taking out the stone golem. He couldn't rush into battle against dozens of demons without calming down. If he rushed to kill them all and protect the villagers he was bound to fail.
"Inspect," Kameron said while looking at one demon closest to him.

Beside Kameron, a thick stone golem nearly eight feet tall, turned its head to him as if waiting for an order.
[Stone Golem(C)]
Rank: 2
Hp: 100,000
Mana: 15,000

Skills: Enchanted Body(C)
[Enchanted Body]
The body of the golem had been enchanted, damage taken by physical attacks is reduced by 80 percent, and magic attacks by 50 percent.
_____________________
Having already looked at the golem's description he gave it a simple order. Kameron had checked a few more demons with inspect, but after seeing that they all had similar status information he assumed they were all rank 1 enemies with similar stats.
"Go! Protect the villagers!" He said as he started running to the demons that had now turned their attention to him after seeing a giant stone monster appear out of nowhere.
The golem, following its master's command, jumped straight between the demons and humans. The humans were confused as to where this giant rock came from but relaxed a little seeing it was protecting them. The demons on the other hand were just annoyed that they were blocked from the humans.
"Get out of my way you pile of rock!" A demon with red marks on his face said as he slashed his sword at the golem's trying to reach the human behind it.
Unfortunately for this demon, his sword bounces off of the rock arm as he felt his hands instantly become numb. In his mind, he cursed the rock monster that was so strong he couldn't put a dent into it.
A split second later the golem attacked with its fist and that same demon was hammered into a bloody paste in one swift stroke.
The surroundings demons were all stunned. The golem moved too fast for them to catch and crushed their friend in an instant. Even the armor, given by the army, the same ones that they all wore, was crushed as if it were flimsy paper.
"What the hell is this thing???" The demons thought.
Off behind most of the demons, Kameron was fighting three demons by himself while surrounded by 5 more.
His intuition and foresight made him a nightmare for the demons to fight. They were unable to land an attack all while they were hit by sword strikes and magic simultaneously. At first, they thought he has a mage hiding somewhere helping him, yet after the fighting progressed they saw he was the one casting spells.
"Are you not a sword user???" The 8 demons wondered in their minds.
A few minutes later, the three demons fighting against Kameron were finally killed, one by a flame spear, the other two were noticeably slower due to the freezing effect of the sword, and eventually they both died as well.

Ignoring the notifications from the system, Kameron used a few moments to catch his breath. His mind had to work in overdrive to use his intuition and foresight together against so many opponents so he was also beginning to get a migraine.
"My brain can't handle fighting multiple people... it isn't used to so much information being processed at once and now I'm beginning to feel the drawback of it. I need to push through regardless, if I don't want this to happen again I need to get my brain used to this kind of stuff..."
Kameron sighed and looked at the other 5 demons while readying his sword, his mana was always full due to the blessing of the world so he was able to use his spells constantly when they were off cooldown.
"I don't have any aoe skills... do I really have to fight with these 5 at the same time?" Kameron asked a bit worried about what the outcome of that would be.
(Fight with the elementals help you) Ina said a suggestion.
"I know that they understand me but they aren't able to interact with people. How am I going to get their help?"
(Try getting them to strengthen your spells. The little fire wolf should be able to make your flame spear ability a lot stronger for a short time) Ina replied in his ears.
"Let's see..." Kameron said as he looked around for the tiny elementals, they were able to keep up with him on the way to the village so he knew they were around.
After a few seconds of searching, he was interrupted when the 5 demon soldiers started to attack. Focusing his attention on the soldier closest to him, Kameron dodged an attack aiming for his shoulder before using Quick Steps to move between the enemies and launch a few counter attacks with his sword.
After counter-attacking took a few steps back to widen the area between him and his enemies. He took note of the golem demolishing its enemies and smiled to himself. "If this is a common rank golem I wonder what the higher rank golems are like..."
It was at this time that the tiny fire wolf, emerging from the fires of a burning building close by, ran over to Kameron and stopped beside his feet.
"Even seeing profit in despair huh... regardless, can you help me with my magic?" Kameron asked as he began gathering the fire elements in his palms. "I want to try something that isn't necessarily a skill I have..."
The tiny wolf, unsurprisingly at this point, understand his request, and instantly the fire element available in the surroundings increased by at least double.
[The Lesser Fire Elemental has accepted your request]
[The Lesser Fire Elemental is gathering the fire element in your surroundings to aid you]
Just as this notification was seen by Kameron, that the flames of the burning buildings in the village began to surge towards the center and gather above Kameron's body
[A large amount of Fire Element is available to use. It is suggested that the user create a new spell]
[The Extra Fire Element will disappear in 30 seconds!]
Feeling the abundant fire element in the surroundings, Kameron focused it above his as he raised his hands.
The demons didn't know what Kameron was doing but, moments after he seemingly talked with himself, flames from the burning buildings began gathering above his body.
Everyone in the area was shocked, Humans and Demons alike. They had never seen anything like this before so they were all awed and terrified at the same time.
"Is that kid trying to destroy the town?!" A demon asked himself as he began taking a few steps away from Kameron.
(FOCUS KAMERON! YOU NEED TO CREATE A NEW SPELL QUICKLY) Ina said while yelling within Kameron's mind.
"I KNOW ALREADY!" Kameron replied as he started to put his mind into an even higher concentration state than before. He had to think of a way to gather all of the flames above him into and with his basic element he could only think of one attack done by a certain someone in a game he once played.
[Time remaining: 15 Seconds!]
"Focus..." Kameron said as he calmed himself and blocked out everything else around him. He was suddenly feeling sleepy but knowing it wasn't time to pass out he forced himself to stay awake a bit, longer until he was finished with his goal.
In his mind, he began condensing the fire element into a small and extremely compact orb. Just doing this had taken 5 seconds so he had to hurry.
Kameron at this point as sweating intensely, the flames made him feel like he was in a volcano, but, other than making him hot it didn't burn his skin.
As he grabbed hold of the orb he felt its destructive capabilities but knowing that the tiny wolf was around he didn't worry too much as he held out his hand towards the group of demons as the orb of fire floated magnificently in the air.
As he felt his mind begin to shut down he whispered a single word.
"Go!"
After uttering this single word he felt he couldn't fight back any longer. The last thing he saw was the orb disappear and a second later dozens of notifications appear, unfortunately, he had only scanned two of them before closing his eyes.
[Congratulations, You have created a new spell! Please give it a name!]
[ ???? has noticed your actions. You have gained the title, Progeny of Fire]
