I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 632 Counterattack (5)

　　 The group followed Icarus, already expecting to see something absurd. Still, once they found the entrance that led to the underground laboratory and they saw the size of the whole thing, they realized that the enemy was a lost cause. Things were as weird as they could be considering that the enemy was also someone from Earth.

Below them, the group found a massive hole… even if Billy were to create a hideout the size of the capital of the Hyloh state, it would be at least three times smaller than that. The interior was well-lit thanks to numerous electric lamps…Billy and the others couldn’t see any signs of electric circuits or batteries…

After Billy jumped in, he eventually found some capsules that had a green liquid and some figures inside. It was weird because they didn’t emit light that could be seen from a distance. Some of the capsules had embryos of demi-humans, others had fully grown ones, and others had rare species of monsters.

”Wow, he is completely ripping off dragon ball with those capsules…” Icarus said.

”So, you watched that… I thought you were way older,” Billy said.

”You are only as old as you think you are,” Icarus said.

”That is probably what a woman in her fifties would say… but I get the feeling…” Billy said. “I am forty-five pretending to be twenty-eight…”

”This isn’t the time for that kind of talk…” Meryl said while frowning.

”I am amazed that you guys aren’t fazed by this…” Lucyna said. “What are we going to do with all this?”

”Let’s look around for a while longer,” Billy replied. “Although I said that, I think that we only have two options here.”

”I am not going to let you kill them,” Meryl declared.

”I never said that I would and that is why I said we had two options,” Billy said.

The whole lab was basically a massive warehouse to clone the demi-humans and the rare species of monsters. Once they were ready to be used, they were moved to an elevator that would lead to the outside, but Billy and the others didn’t see those rare species of monsters, only the demi-humans moved to outside…

Between birds that had skill live Hibernation, and a creature that resembles a dinosaur that had crystal-like scales, the variety of the creatures was truly amazing. Still, by Billy’s estimations, the maker should have evolved Contract by now and he should have obtained Beastly Summoning… Unless Billy’s guess was wrong.

”Can you use Mind control on them?” Icarus asked.

”Maybe,” Billy replied. “I can’t use it without touching them or looking them in the eyes, though.”

Billy used Telekinesis to open the eye and then used Mind Control on the red bird that could use Hibernation. That was a weird skill for a bird to have… The creature didn’t even have impressive parameters… Nevertheless, the Mind Control worked and then he made the beast attack the glass of the capsule. The beak of the monster was pretty sharp, so it didn’t take long for the creature to free itself. It was as big as a human, so it landed in front of Billy.

Hibernation: it grants you the power to recover ten percent more, multiplied by the level of the skill, health, mana, and stamina while resting.

”So, that is how the skill works… It isn’t half bad,” Billy said.

”I suppose I will free those guys…” Billy said. “The originals should be around here, and this might work as a blow against the enemy.”

”I wonder why he lured us when it is so obvious that we would find this place and free the monsters,” Lucyna said.

”Maybe he didn’t think that one of us would be able to destroy his magic Cannon…” Icarus said.

”Even if that was the case, he could have done something about the creatures here since he can Teleport his soldiers to anywhere in the world,” Lucyna said.

Speaking of Teleport, Billy had yet to learn how to bend space, but it seemed that the maker managed to do that. It was more than a little bit annoying to know that someone could learn faster than him under the same conditions.

While Billy was freeing the monsters, he wondered if he could use his powers to steal experience from skills that he didn’t have. That was supposed to force him to learn those skills, but it was hard to imagine that happening… Even learning the skills by copying monsters wasn’t something that Billy could do that easily. So, learning a skill like that would be like… The same way when he learns using the system… Pretty hard, but definitely not impossible.

In any case, Billy decided to try that, but he frowned when one of the monsters began to tremble… It wasn’t like he hadn’t taken experience from other monsters, but it was the first time he got that kind of reaction.

”It seems that this makes them suffer for some reason… Maybe it is because I don’t have the skill,” Billy thought.

Since those monsters were clones and some of the skills were things that they were born with, Billy couldn’t try to access their memories either. He did that with the prisoner in his basement and while he succeeded, it didn’t feel that pleasant. It felt like he was watching a 3d movie that was way too realistic and most of the events were only dark. The maker definitely messed with their minds…

”I didn’t have time to obtain the skills of the relics that I made using their blood, but I need to obtain them before we face the maker… I have a few weeks for that,” Billy thought. “Let’s use all my free time to succeed on that.”

”It seems we are done here,” Icarus said. “What should we do about the others in the capsules?”

”Leave them, my people will deal with this problem,” Meryl replied. “Right now, we should look for the dungeon.”

”Leave that to me,” Icarus said.
