Chapter 618 Dragon (10)
When the dungeon stopped moving, Billy soon sent his drones to check the path ahead after they finished dismantling the silver dragon and cleared up the fourteenth level of the dungeon.Although Billy was thankful for that, and despite their previous words, Meryl, Lucyna, and Icarus sure were a lot more meek than usual. Normally, they wouldn't shut up between battles, but they only talked for a few moments while they were on the fourteenth floor. They looked lost in thought, even though they never let the monsters surprise him.
"I guess that battle made them realize that we are a lot weaker than expected, that dragon couldn't fly that well and yet, we got trashed quite a lot," Billy thought. "We need to keep using his dungeon to become stronger… I wonder if the maker came with that realization as well."
Considering what Billy had heard, the maker probably had gone a bit mad, so that kind of realization was impossible for him, and he was hunting fire dragons just for the sake of getting stronger. Still, even the reincarnated individuals realized that the world still had many foes more powerful than them. Billy was certain that he couldn't solo that dragon without the Light Speed Sword. Thanks to it, he didn't feel that happy with the result of the battle.
"Well, not that I care about them… Still, I also need to try harder," Billy thought.
Billy didn't exaggerate in summoning monsters to take spawning spots in that dungeon because he felt that it wouldn't be the same as getting real strength. Sure, he would level up and get status and skill points, but it wouldn't be the same thing. That strength wouldn't be the same as when he comes up with a new technique or skill. That was why he was so obsessed with the shadow clone technique; he would get real and the system experience in both ways by using it.
That being said, while fighting that dragon, Billy had some flashes of inspiration, so he would need some time to try those ideas. He was going to use his summoned monsters to gain experience while he trained.
"So, we reached another of our goals, what will be next?" Icarus asked.

Meryl tried to make a zombie dragon with the remaining parts of the creature and even a skeleton with the bones alone. That was only natural… it would be stupid if she could control a guardian of a dungeon of that level with her powers. The beast was a lot more powerful than her, after all.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter three days, they left the dungeon, and Billy checked his status, he got a lot stronger if he could say so himself, but Billy wasn't satisfied… even though he already could buy another skill that would cost one thousand skills points.
"Let's use some of these status points and improve my magic…" Billy thought. "I will need that."
Since the guardian will appear eventually, Billy wondered if that was the kind of strategy that the maker was using. Clearing the fire dragons' dungeon again and again to obtain skill points and then obtain similar skills to the reincarnated individuals. Billy felt that looking for and defeating them would be a lot less time-consuming, but staying in the dungeon would let him level up more consistently. That was something Billy would do since it would make him reach at least level 2800… That was the number of level-ups necessary to get all those skills that cost one thousand skill points.
Nevertheless, that was something that Billy had to worry about later. He had already prepared his summoned monsters that would grant him some extra experience, and since he had been away from home for more than ten days, it was time to return.
"I am going back, contact me if something happens," Billy said and then used Flash to leave the area.
"I am so beat… so why do I feel like I should return to the dungeon as soon as possible?" Icarus said.
"That is probably because you didn't do much against the guardian," Lucyna said. "I only offered support from a distance, so I feel the same way."
"Don't rub salt on the wound…" Icarus said and then sighed. "Well, I suppose at least deserve to sleep on a bad for a couple of hours before returning to the dungeon."
"I would bet that Billy will only return after one week, so we will have time to do that," Meryl said. "Still, only the lower floors are more efficient for us, so we should head down together. That is what I usually would say, but I need to help my soldiers obtain the power to fight in the dungeon by themselves. I suppose these materials will help with that. Regardless, let's take at least this day off before thinking about work again.
