Chapter 386 Vengeance (2)
Basically, almost everything was possible with magic. So, creating small blocks of iron and making them extremely heavier was relatively easy. It took a few days for Billy to find the right method and he had to experiment a lot with his Earth magic. Metals are one of the most dense things that exist, so compressing them was nearly impossible. Still, by forging some bracers, and ankles weights with the idea of making them heavier by using mana, he found what he wanted. Basically, he had to infuse his mana on them to make them heavier. The weights that weighed ten kilograms each could become two times heavier when he infused them with fifty points of mana. Still, just the double was easy for Billy, and the problem was the fact that the effect only lasted for one day.”You are doing something weird again,” Kate said while frowning.
”That seems like fun, can you make some for me?” Natalie asked.
”Not fair, I want something to improve my magic too,” Kate said.
”Don’t say such a thing… We already know plenty of methods to keep improving magic,” Billy said.
”I guess so…” Kate said while frowning.
Billy charged the weights after he went to the dungeon until they became ten times heavier. Thanks to that, his body had to deal with four hundred extra kilograms… He regretted that a little bit since his legs were getting crushed by the weight. It was weird… he could create craters when jumping or jumping the ground, he thought that four hundred kilograms would be nothing. However, that was because his body was strengthened by magic and his control over his breathing. While he was pretty big and muscular, Billy hadn’t carried anything so big.
After half of that, Billy realized that training was much harder than before, and he barely could keep going for one hour. Still, that much strain was fine, he could get rid of the tension and muscular aches by using Relief a few times. Not to mention, his stamina was being used a lot faster than before, even without him using skills. So, Vigor, Spearmanship, and Quick Spear were leveling up a lot faster than before.
When the first week of training ended, Billy realized that his strength and endurance had increased by one point. That wasn’t half bad… he expected that his strength would increase, but not his endurance.
”Since with this kind of training I can obtain those status points, I guess I can focus the level up ones into speed and magic,” Billy nodded to himself.
While Billy was thinking about that, his parents finally arrived in the capital. They took a break for a day at his house, and then they headed toward his dungeon. Two days later, they arrived there and Billy began to teach his grandmother how to use healing magic. It required a fine control over non-elemental magic, so few people probably will learn it, even while being taught directly by Billy. He had already begun teaching that to his friends, but only Kate and Sarah were making any progress.
”What is that, Billy?” Drew asked while pointing at the weights that his son was wearing. “I thought that it was a fashion item of the capital, but since you are using it here…”
”It is something I came up with to help with training, I can make some for you if you want, but I wouldn’t infuse with much mana inside a dungeon,” Billy said.
Most of Billy’s acquaintances asked for some, but most of them gave up after a while. Although he covered them with leather to make things more comfortable, they still were quite bothersome to wear. Not to mention, few people had that much free mana to spend on training. In any case, since she didn’t use mana to fight, Anna spent most of her time improving her magic control while meditating, so she learned Heal quite fast. So, Billy began to teach her Detoxify and Relief as well.
”With those spells, herbs became essentially useless,” Anna said while showing a difficult expression.
”That isn’t the case, you have a limit of how much mana you can use every day, and this type of spell can only be learned by a few individuals,” Billy said. “I guess using them in times of emergency or when you are on a low stock of medicine is for the best.”
”… You have a point,” Anna said after thinking for a while. “To think that someone that much younger would correct my way of thinking… and someone who was raised by Drew at that.”
”That hurts, mother,” Drew said with his head down. “While I did only half of the job, I am perfectly capable of being a parent.”
”Weren’t you the one who refused to pat Billy when he was small because you thought that you were going to die young like your father?” Anna asked.
”Please, forget my few moments of weakness and self-doubt,” Drew said, looking even more depressed.
Anna stopped right there because saying any more would be an overkill. Regardless, Anna put her new spells to use pretty soon since the family was having a hard time dealing with the poison underground. Come to think of it, it has been one year since Billy cleared that dungeon, but no one challenged the guardian and his parents and siblings were taking things slowly.
”How are you guys holding up?” Billy asked. “Still excited after seeing how creepy and sick the interior of that dungeon is? Even if you don’t get attacked by the monsters, you still can get knocked out by the poison they left behind.”
”That is nothing… I am sure we can beat your record,” Samuel said while looking away nervously.
”You have spirit if anything, Samuel,” Billy said while messing with his little brother’s hair.
”Now I can understand why some adventurers are so rough, working in this kind of place would tax your mind quite a bit,” Samara said. “I guess the work that the sisters do suit me better.”
