I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 421 The fifth (8)

"I am going on a trip for a few weeks," Billy suddenly declared when he was having dinner with his family. "I am planning to check the place where one of the titans is and it will be better if I go alone. I will try to return as soon as possible."

"What are the chances that it might end up fighting you?" Kate asked.

"None, in the worst-case scenario, I will fight the spawned monsters," Billy replied. "I am not crazy enough to fight something like that on my own."

Although Billy was lying, he sounded more convincing than usual. Kate and Natalie knew that he wouldn't leave at such a moment without a good reason. He hated working outside the capital, after all. Although they wanted to go with him, they had work to do. They let some of their management work pile up in the last few months and now they had to make it up for it.

"Are you going to use that new thing?" Kate asked. "If you are going to an unknown place alone, perhaps you should use that."

"No, that isn't ready yet," Billy replied. "Besides, I completed that technique today, so I can move faster without it. Although the cost of mana isn't that efficient yet. Regardless, the kids shouldn't come and some of us have to stay with them when the others are away. Samuel and Samara are traveling to the states and our parents are busy with their own lives back home, so I really think you should stay this time."

"I guess it can't be helped," Natalie said.

"If that technique is complete, then you shouldn't have a problem escaping from monsters… Just make sure to keep your guard up," Kate added.

Billy was thankful for their understanding. As much as he wanted to reward them for that, he had preparations to make and it would be better if he leaves at night and reaches one of his dungeons and get all the mana that he needed before sunrise as well. Since Spiritual Core was almost at level one hundred, then Billy would fill his reserves in the blink of an eye, even in the easiest dungeon under his control.

In the end, Billy left his house at midnight. He felt that he should tell his friends about his departure, but he truly didn't have time for that. Since the tunnel connecting to his first dungeon was too dark, Billy could only use Flash to cover short distances. Still, since there were no obstacles on the way and the path was in a straight line, he reached his destination in fifteen minutes… He crossed almost five hundred kilometers in fifteen minutes… The only problem was that he had to eat a lot of the pills, but as the skill was leveling up, he stopped less often to do so.

"Let's see… If I use Flash and collide against the monsters, the skill will level up even faster" Billy thought while smirking.

As expected, the guards frowned when Billy showed up in the middle of the night, but they didn't do anything and recognized him. Without wasting time, Billy began to use Flash, but he also had to use Fireball to illuminate the place, so it took a while longer for him to fill his reserves of mana. Using those half-assed body slams, Billy caused a lot of damage and since his endurance increased quite a bit, he only got a few scratches.

"Come to think of it, I could use Dash and attack with a spear to gain momentum, why did I never think of doing that to make that skill level up?" Billy wondered.

That skill was at a pretty low level, with his current speed, Billy could guess that if he used Dash level forty, he would run faster than his vehicles, but his stamina would be drained like crazy…

In any case, Billy decided to stay in the dungeon until morning since he wouldn't be able to use Flash properly at night and in the open. Once that happened, he left the dungeon town and headed south. Although he had some experience using the skill, he still tripped many times when he didn't consider the elevation of the soil in some parts of the path. It was particularly troublesome to cross hills because of that. Even if he tried to jump while using Flash, Billy couldn't move upward, only in a straight line.

In any case, Billy's life improved when he found some old paths that no one used. The road wasn't that well maintained, but at least was perfect for him to use the skill. Since it passed through some groves that could be used for ambushes, it had been abandoned. Still, Billy reached the southern border of the state before noon.

Billy arrived in the Grenciti state and while he had never been there, he had heard a few things about it. It was a pretty small state that mostly lived through the commerce of fish and other seafood. Since it was pretty close to the ocean, it wasn't that suitable for cultivation fields. Thanks to that, the place didn't suffer invasion for many centuries.

Although Billy avoided the most known towns and villages of that state, he still saw some massive fish being transported from ports to other places. They were too big to be called fish, they were more like Aquatic monsters… Billy even saw some massive octopus on the size of a carriage… Billy wondered how the average fishermen could kill that kind of thing. Even from far away, he used Appraisal on them, but he didn't see any special skills on their list.

Regardless, Billy finished crossing that state in half of an afternoon. Once that happened, he couldn't keep going only toward the south, he had to go southeast because of the coast of the continent. In the end, he had to resume his travel on the beaches because the next state had too many forests.
