Chapter 590 Blood’s power (4)
Their formation wasn’t bad, Billy’s defense was solid, and Lucyna was free to decrease the defense of the enemies, while Icarus and Meryl were attacking as fast as possible. Still, the spawning rate of the monsters was too much for them… It wasn’t the same as one group per minute. It was more like one new monster appeared as soon as one of the others was defeated. Eventually, they ran out of energy and had to retreat, but Billy had room to get some tyrant’s hearts for the group.”Oh, man… This is the worst,” Icarus said. “It is pretty clear that this is a dead end for us who are in a hurry.”

While Icarus was complaining, Billy checked his status. He leveled up a lot in just a single week, but not enough to deal with that whole problem by himself. He had some strategies that he would like to pull it off, but they were pretty risky and would work only if he were alone. Still, even so, it was hard to say if they would make any difference.
”I will draw their attention, and you guys will attack them from behind,” Billy said. “This is just a test that I want to put into motion, and it might be dangerous, so you guys shouldn’t risk yourselves.”
”What are you talking about?” Meryl asked. “Didn’t we just fail miserably? We need more time to think of a clear plan, and tests won’t help us.”
”Maybe not, but it will help me a lot,” Billy said. “Anyway, I can do the test on my own, so you guys can rest if you want.”
Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl looked at each other, and they didn’t know how to react, but at least they followed Billy and prepared to fight. However, they were left speechless when he just stopped in the middle of dozens of Tyrants without holding his weapon. In the end, they tried to kill him with their Mana Cannon, but Billy used Reflect. A barrier of mana stopped the attacks and tried to fight back the wave of mana, but it failed at first since the enemy’s output of energy didn’t slow down. However, eventually, Reflect entered a stage where it had too much energy to reflect and eventually caused an explosion. The entire floor began to tremble, and the other three covered their eyes due to the flash of light.
When the light dissipated, Billy was left alone standing while the bodies of the Tyrants had almost dissolved. He didn’t look that satisfied, though. Probably because he used too much mana to reflect all the damage.
”As expected, relying only on this will be impossible…” Billy thought.
Billy, for a short while to test the strategy now that Reflect had leveled up a few times, but the cost of mana in comparison to the mana he recovered after killing a few other tyrants still wasn’t efficient, and it would take a long while before that can become.
”We will have to come up with something else…” Billy thought while considering the idea of using some summons to explode and taking down some tyrants with it. Still, the cost in mana would be inefficient as well. “Any ideas?”
Icarus shrugged while Meryl and Lucyna shook their heads. In the first place, none of them had dealt with a situation like that. The closest thing was what the titans did, but they didn’t create an army in a confined space.
Meryl attempted to make the bodies of the tyrants explode, and while that worked in the beginning, the other enemies got wary of that, and they used their Mana Cannons to destroy the corpses.
Although they didn’t have any new ideas, the group decided to fight the tyrants again. It was more for the experience obtained than anything else, actually. In those types of situations, they had to do their best and everything that was possible while they thought of a solution. Eventually, Billy recalled what he did in his second dungeon. When he froze entire floors to slow down and damage invisible monsters to make the fights easier.
”I also have my armor, but…” Billy thought. “I feel like I should deal with this on my own.”
Billy and the others kept fighting the tyrants without any clear plan of action, only focusing on themselves. Pretty often, they felt a tremor coming from the other extreme side of the floor and considering that the floor was a dozen kilometers long, it only showed how much power the Manipulator had obtained there.
In the end, two other days had passed without them making any progress, and Billy could see his family and friends meeting back home, and they looked worried. He still could send simple messages to them, but Billy could almost see them preparing their armors and coming to help. That would almost be the worst-case scenario…
While Billy was thinking of what to do, he began to clean his glaive off the blood of the monsters, and then he recalled that the blood was emitting a pretty familiar red glow…
