Chapter 454 He is back (2)
When Billy reached the border, he found quite the scene taking place there. He saw two types of monsters. Some giant crows that were firing explosive projectiles from the sky and some hairy moles underground occasionally rose to the surface and attacked the soldiers who were too focused on the sky. It was almost the same strategy that the summoner deployed before. So, he couldn't help but be confused.

"What the hell is he thinking…" Billy frowned while looking at the monsters.
While the monster's numbers weren't that high, that combination sure was causing trouble for the soldiers. Still, it wasn't enough to stop Billy or even his friends. So, he couldn't know why he was deploying the same type of strategy. Then again, Billy could see numerous packs of monsters going in other directions. Maybe the summoner was just trying to overwhelm him with numbers in order to prevent him from interfering again with things in the temple city.
Nevertheless, Billy would freeze them to death with his magic whenever the moles showed up. That gave a chance for the soldiers to focus on the enemies in the sky. Their durability wasn't great, so even ordinary crossbows were damaging them quite a bit.

…
The job in that area was finished quite quickly, so Billy headed to the next one. Where he found soldiers, he stayed just for a couple of minutes, where he didn't find them. He stayed for a while longer to eliminate all the monsters. Eventually, he came to realize that their groups were exactly the same fifty moles and fifty crows.
Eventually, Billy finished all the monsters that had crossed the border. Still, then he found others attacking the same places he had been before. The summoner truly was trying to overwhelm and keep him busy.
"Divide and conquer, huh…" Billy said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "A perfect strategy for a necromancer."
In any case, Billy told Aura that he would help until she reformed her lines, and that was what he was going to do for the time being. At worst, that will force him to stay there for two days, but he was sure that things won't get bad that fast in other areas… probably.
To speed things up a bit more, Billy used Mind Control and made some of the monsters fight each other. Billy had planned to help help the soldiers near the border, but there wasn't much that he could do for them. Transporting them was out of the question. Making physical defenses was a waste when the enemies could fly and come from below. He could only be patient… During that time, he wondered if Icarus would come and give him some information about what he had learned, but he didn't. He either was still working, or he sent a message using the magic magnets. Billy decided to create a version that could send voice messages as soon as possible. He also needed a portable version… Only now did Billy realize that he could make a small notebook and attach the pain to it. He just would need some plastic parts that would hold the line and let it move.
"Thanks for saving our asses again. It seemed that my debt keeps increasing, huh," Aura said when she arrived with an army of soldiers and adventurers.
It seemed that Aura was dropping her usual formal tone around Billy. He truly helped her several times already, but Billy wished that they could keep the same distance as before. While he doesn't mind giving a hand now and then, even more in situations like that, thanks to the monsters that are giving him experience, he wants to avoid other kinds of problems that a leader of a state has to face. Billy felt that he would get tangled in those if he got too close to her.
"Don't mind it. I am going to check things back home, and in the other places, if I think it is necessary, I will send some help," Billy said and quickly left the area.
Billy returned home as soon as possible, and he wasn't surprised when he saw his parents. It seemed that his friends took the necessary precautions to move as soon as possible if something happened. Even though he told them to keep training, they did the right thing.
"It seems that someone annoying is on the move again," Drew said. "Someone annoying with very troublesome skills."
"Since you were already informed of the situation, I guess I can say everything I know about me," Billy said. "But please, don't do anything reckless if you don't hear from us for a few weeks."
"We wouldn't want to put anything in your head since it might make you lose your focus," Camilla said. "Just rest easy and do what you think you should do."
Billy explained to his parents everything except the things that he had in common with the summoner. There was no point in hiding what he wanted, though. It was the relic below the temple of goddess Galatea. Or was she? Billy didn't know any more after the recent events.
