I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 237 - Spiritual Core (7)



The enemies grew impatient when they saw their allies being killed in droves. As if that wasn't enough, Billy could repair and make the walls around him move and protect him from all sides. When they realized that they couldn't take down Billy, more than one hundred of them had fallen. Everything they tried to do was useless...

The beast tamers couldn't retreat without exposing themselves, so they used their only option: they called back the monsters that were attacking the Northern wall. Billy was amazed when he felt the sound of the ground trembling at the approach of those creatures. He was amazed because the tamers were selfish enough to risk their chances of winning that fight just to save a couple dozen of them. That would change the tide of the battle since the monsters would lose the momentum, and the defenders will have time to reorganize themselves. Still, there was a problem… Billy was now surrounded by beast tamers and their creatures.

"I suppose they are willing to go this far because they have a bounty on my head…" Billy said.

Regardless, Billy wouldn't have come if he hadn't had a way to escape. While hiding himself underground was an option, it would take him too long to return to the town. When the monsters got close enough, Billy created an Earth pillar that propelled him to the town in a single instant. In the blink of an eye, he saw himself flying over the army of monsters, one hundred meters above them… The monsters, the tamers, and even his allies saw that in disbelief. Some people who had crazy physical abilities like the guild masters could jump over fifty meters of height, but they couldn't cross five hundred meters in a single jump. While that was awesome, there was another problem for Billy: landing.

In the end, he manipulated the wind when he was about to land to decrease his falling speed, but since he used it against his body, it had been rather painful. In the end, Billy landed quite slowly, but he still landed with his front against the ground, and he stayed like that.

"Billy! Billy… Are you all right?" Kate asked when she saw him blinking.

"Yeah… Just give me some time to breathe," Billy replied. "This hurts like hell."

Although he asked for some time, Billy quickly got up since he had no idea how things would proceed afterward. The beast tamers were crazy, after all. Fortunately, after canceling the first and the second wave of attacks, they didn't send the monsters back. Still, the issue was the other battlefields. The enemies in the North still were wary of the tunnels, so things there were going pretty slowly. However, the eastern side of the town was also facing some difficult battles, and things stayed like that until the end of the day. The adventurers had to retreat since they suffered a few hundred casualties, but they still had many wounded.

"What was that, Billy?" Kate asked, visibly annoyed. "We are a team. You can't act recklessly like that. Even more so when you don't inform us beforehand."

"Sorry, my bad," Billy said. "The second wave would cause too much damage, so I could only think of that to make the monsters retreat."

"Things could have gotten really messy, but you were lucky," Alexander said. "Maybe not, since it is you, we are talking about, but you shouldn't do that again. How would you feel if Kate or Natalie were to do the same thing?"

It was rare for Alexander to criticize Billy, but this time he had a point, and he was being strangely persuasive. Billy's attitude wasn't helping his case, so he decided to quietly listen to the complaints of his friends. Once that was done, he began to eat some Edish fruits to recover his mana. He had used too much that day, after all.

"The skill list still is the same as before, I was expecting to see their Domination appear here, but I guess I need to see the moment where they use their weapons for that to appear," Billy thought while he was recalling the events of that day.

The cost of that skill will be probably high, way above the price of skill points that Billy currently has, but it would be nice to make the enemies taste their own poison. Regardless, later that day, Billy heard the report of the casualties that day. The enemies lost around three thousand pawns among monsters and soldiers, but their side lost only half of that. It seemed that despite being alone, his friends' students did a good job standing their guard.

"It is thanks to Fierce Aura, all of them can use that, and we made them practice it as much as possible every day," Natalie explained.

Billy's friends, aside from Kate and Sarah, made their students train that skill Vigorously for quite a while. A good part of their daily training was them using Meditation while keeping that skill active. So, even though they were between level thirty and fifty, they could show a level of power that would be almost two times higher. However, only for a few moments, but it was more than enough to save their skin many times a day.

"It would be nice if I could find a skill that would grant us the chance to use less mana or even stamina," Billy thought while wondering about the weakness of Fierce Aura.

Stamina wasn't really a problem now that Vigor was leveling a lot in the battlefield, but mana was. Naturally, such a convenient skill wasn't in the skill shop. Billy saw an anime a long time ago in which the protagonist trained his spiritual energy to be able to use his best move more often, but naturally, that wouldn't be the same thing as seeing a real thing.. However, the logic was there… Billy has to strengthen his spirit to make his mana more efficient.
