Novel Full 749 Champions (2)
At the end of that day, most monsters had been dealt with, and despite hundreds of casualties, most people felt relieved and joyous thanks to that. Still, Billy soon found a problem when he checked his clones. Most people thought that the battle was over and they could return to their lives after burying the dead.
“You guys should rest for a while… Uvish will soon attack again,” Billy said when he arrived at home and massaged his forehead.
“Did something happen?” Kate asked.
“I devised an evacuation plan and told to most leaders of the cities that are connected to the tunnels to use them to escape, but they think that the better is over,” Billy said. “It seems that they will have to lose more people before they realize that Uvish is no longer playing around…”
Fortunately, that also means that Billy’s clones will have time to make the trains. Aside from those that are still digging tunnels, the clones were using them to make the vehicle. It wasn’t hard to use Shapeshifting into a golem and turn it into a cart that could transport an entire family. Adding wheels to them, they could move faster than when they were golems…
“Maybe we should go and persuade them…” Sarah said.
“No, like I said, go and rest for a while,” Billy said. “This isn’t the first time that the people of this world underestimated the situation and paid a heavy price for it. It can’t be helped, but we can only save those who want to survive and can realize that the enemy is far from done. I suppose they are the only ones that can help us as well…”
Based on his voice, it was easy to tell Billy was tired. He also needed to enjoy a quick nap… As for the others, they still were recovering from the trip. So, they wanted to rest as well.
Although the night was pretty cold, Billy decided to rest in his garden. He wouldn’t relax too much there, and he would be able to respond as fast as he could if something happened.
Billy put himself to sleep using Dream World because he needed to think of a way to deal with Uvish annoying portals. Even if they evacuated everyone, it would be useless if they didn’t make a place safe enough for them. In the Dream World, Billy was meditating and thinking about that until the spirits also showed up there. Aside from the wind spirit and the death spirit, the others were just colorful spheres moving around.
“You are a hard worker, just like him,” the death spirit said.
“I don’t like when people compare me with my enemies,” Billy said. “Nevertheless, you showed up at a good time. That dark room was something that you created, and it is something like a personal domain where your powers are nearly Absolute, right? How can you maintain it without using too much mana while also preventing the enemy’s powers from intervening?”
“Yes, that is the advantage of being a being that doesn’t have a physical form,” The death spirit replied. “Thanks to that, we can amass stupid amounts of mana easily, and our energy can affect our surroundings without using anything unless we use our authority when someone gets too close.”
“So, all in all, it isn’t something I can replicate? Great…” Billy said and then sighed. “I will think of another way to do that…”
For spirits, mana was literally an extension of their bodies. It looked like they could become as big as they wanted as long as they had mana, so it was understandable that they could create magic fields like that in, which could negate Uvish’s influence and powers.
After thinking for a few hours without making much progress, Billy decided to cancel the spell. His body had rested enough… However, he stopped when he recalled something. When he was on Earth, Billy was surfing on the web when he read that some parts of the universe which barely follow the laws of physics at all. Even the crazy bitch that gravity is couldn’t help but be almost ignored in some places.
The weirdest thing that Billy recalled was a blue planet called HD 189773b. That weird as hell world wasn’t that far away from Earth, only a couple of light years and the closest ‘hot Jupiter’ to Earth. It may look like a gorgeous deep-blue marble floating serenely in space, but if you had the misfortune to visit this massive gas giant, you’d soon regret it. As well as being spun furiously by winds blowing at 8,700 km/h, you’d be cut to shreds by glass rain. The planet’s delightful blue color is the reflection of silicate in its atmosphere – silicate that, when heated by the planet’s deathly 1300°C temperature, forms grains of glass.
Billy couldn’t even imagine how such conditions could be met, but it made him recall that even Uvish changed the laws of that world. When he prevented the world from using mana to become more fertile. It was hard to say if it was due to his influence as a ruler, but Billy could at least try to do something on a smaller scale.
“You are powerful because you have an ethereal body that accumulates tons of mana, huh,” Billy muttered. “Then what about this?”
Billy began to feed his Spirtiual Core with all the mana that he had. Most likely, the skill didn’t have an upgrade, but it was fine. Billy needed more the effects of the skill at a max level than anything. Eventually, he ran out of mana, and the Dream World disappeared. Unfortunately, the skill only reached level four hundred.
“As if this would stop me…” Billy said and then transferred all the experience from Rage to that skill.
When the skill reached level one, Billy frowned… Rage was at level two hundred, and it only added twenty levels to Spiritual Core. Billy would need other tactics.. and then he recalled the dungeon core of the fire dragon’s dungeon.
“No… Not yet,” Billy thought. “Don’t choose the easy way out of this mess… I know a better way to do this.”
