I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 434 Descendent (3)

It was evident that Lucyna could use valuable things to level up. Even if their mission was important, she wouldn't have lost anything by getting the diamond cores. Considering that she learned about the existence of others like her, not doing would be stupid.

"That wasn't hard. It is easy to make money in dungeons, huh," Lucyna said.

"Yeah, keep going like that, mocking the work of others. You will become an outstanding person that way," Billy said.

Lucyna showed a complicated expression after hearing that. She recognized her mistake. In the first place, they couldn't use their powers openly, and in normal dungeons, they would find other people, so that was a problem.

"Regardless, let's head north and camp in places where our enemies might try to use to alert the others," Billy said. "We will split up to cover more ground again and then meet on the next target at midnight."

Billy wanted to keep an eye on them to make sure that they wouldn't do anything troublesome. Lucyna and Icarus were also a part of them. Still, they had to stop possible pursuers or messengers. They might try to contact others even on foot, and they couldn't underestimate the physical abilities of the people of that world. A well-trained soldier could cross one hundred kilometers in a single morning.

In the end, those three split up and choose the most obvious roads that the enemies might be able to use to alert their allies. It was evident that they would choose the shortest ones, though. Much to Billy's surprise, the first messengers only appeared afternoon. They weren't using horses either… he wondered why they took their time. Was it because they didn't know of their speed?

In any case, Billy wondered what he should do with them. They were soldiers of that state and not ordinary people. So, killing them was one option. Still, Billy decided to make things even more efficient. He used Mind Control on them and forced them to stay behind and stop the others. Billy also headed toward Lucyna and Icarus to do the same with the other messengers that they might find, but then he gave up. While they already knew about his skills, it wouldn't be wiser to show them in action.

Regardless, at night, Billy met with the others, and they told him that they didn't find anyone getting close to them. Billy got lucky…

"Things will be harder now. Instead of small towns, we will face the garrisons of large cities," Billy said. "One mistake, and we will spend the next nights fighting armies of soldiers."

"I don't see anything wrong with that," Lucyna said.

"You might want to become famous here after killing thousands of people, but my goal here is not to stand out," Billy said. "We need to keep our existence a secret. Otherwise, we will make the entire world think that we are a threat. Not to mention, we also will make others like us hear about us."

"That certainly won't be something good. The first strike is important if the other side has super-powered enemies," Icarus added. "That being said, we need to deliver a huge blow to the military of this state to prevent it from rising again and because Lucyna won't be satisfied unless that happens."

"That is right," Lucyna said.

Billy sighed. Still, that was one thing that they would have to do sooner or later, but he wanted to postpone this for a while. That being said, if that could help him return home faster, he won't mind. The only issue was that he couldn't leave traces of his actions behind. So, no large-scale magic for the next fights.

"I suppose we will have to split the latter half of the work into three nights…" Billy said. "The one who will destroy the dungeon will also fight the guards in that place. The second will face the army that will come from the city, while the third will make sure to destroy all the means for the people of the city to communicate with others… I suppose I will do that job since I am the only one who can find their warehouses."

"That city is pretty big and closer to the mines… I don't think that we can avoid a fight with its army," Icarus said. "Also, Lucyna and I won't have enough energy to deal with thousands of enemies."

"Speak for yourself," Lucyna said. "I can give you a hand and attack them from behind. The real issue is the question of who will clear the dungeon."

Lucyna didn't know what to choose. Her powers will benefit more if she goes to the dungeon. However, her desire for revenge was telling her to fight the army, even if it was unreasonable. She couldn't choose between her present and future.

Right now, teaching them Spiritual Core would solve both issues, but Billy wouldn't do that without a good reason. Their powers were more suited for fighting than his, so they would lose a lot of their restrictions if they learned that. Turning them into possible fearsome opponents. That was probably why Icarus never asked Billy to teach him magic. He also didn't want to give something of equal value in exchange for that.

"I suppose I will need a weapon if I am going to face the army," Icarus said. "You can go and deal with the problems inside and near the mine."

"You never came across a weapon that you took a liking to?" Billy asked.

"I tried some, but they usually break quite easily thanks to my speed," Icarus said. "You know that the faster they move, the more objects easily fall apart, right? My body can withstand my speed, but not the weapons that I wield."

That makes sense. Due to the nature of his power, Icarus could move at fearsome speeds without suffering damage. However, the law of physics still applied to the things around him. In any case, Billy knew how to solve that.
