I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 675 Struggle (1)

Zenis flew toward Icarus because it would be the most annoying enemy for the time being. However, now that their speeders matched, he just flew toward him without showing many results in approaching. Until he used gravity magic to make him sink to the ground and then trip.

When he got closer, a rain of arrows flew toward his face, but his armor blocked them. Still, Zenis was pushed away a few centimeters with every hit when the armor got hit. When he looked in the direction the arrows were coming from, Zenis saw Meryl and another archer. That was a weird one since she wasn’t a reincarnated, but she had an armor and a powerful bow that could make her shots as powerful as Meryl with all that mana that she had.

“That armor…” Zenis said.

Blocking his vision, four other persons approached, and they were using armors similar to Billy’s. At that point in time, Zenis realized that they were Billy’s closest friends… If Icarus and the others had the same armor during the first fight, they could have become a lot more troublesome to deal with. Even if that weren’t the case, Billy would be more troublesome if he had bought those guys with him.

“I see… So they were the ones who stopped my soldiers,” Zenis said.

Alexander and Natalie dashed and covered the distance between them in the blink of an eye and then swung their weapons at Zenis’ head. His armor blocked the attack, but he felt that annoying effect taking place… His stamina was decreasing thanks to the vibration.

He quickly transformed the left arm of his armor into a Blade and swung at them, but Icarus suddenly charted and stopped him with a body Slam. For a moment, Alexander and Natalie frowned since something happened so fast that they failed to see it, but they knew that Icarus could do something like that.

While the enemy was being pushed, Natalie and Alexander used Durandal and Gungnir. Zenis recognized the skill that almost killed him and froze for a second, and then the impact sent him flying to the distance. Unfortunately, even while he was shocked, the armor blocked the attack.

Even before he could stop, Zenis fired a massive sword made of magic mercury toward Natalie. She reacted on time to block the attack with her sword, but she only got the strength because Natalie and Sarah boosted her strength with magic at the last second.

“That reaction…” Icarus said. “Billy can use the technique as well, right? That probably brought some bad memories for Zenis… Avoiding using that or he will target you like crazy.”

“I get it… Billy found a way to surpass his defenses and used that skill in the last moment,” Natalie said. “That sounds like him, alright.”

Aside from the tremendous speed of the enemy, the Absolute defense, and the crazy long ranged attacks that could assume any shape and form, they had to find a way to deal with the enemy without pissing him too much. That sure was annoying for Natalie and Alexander since their best techniques had been nullified.

In any case, Zenis moved to attack them again. Still, another barrage of arrows approached, and all of them were insanely fast. Some of those were filled with electricity, so the energy passed through the armor and shocked Zenis.

“He seems to be taking damage,” Lily said. “I thought you said that he could nullify magic from a distance.”

“Most likely… He can nullify pure magic under normal conditions,” Meryl explained. “However, when the magic is on something physical that passed his first layer of defense…”

“Well, I will keep firing those, then,” Lily said.

Recently, Lily managed to enhance her arrows with lightning magic, and that was the result. Usually, they wound pierce the guard of even the thickest of armors. However, they still could cause damage like that and paralyze most enemies.

When the next barrage of attacks came, Zenis acted without thinking and then dodged them. After that, he stopped moving, and he looked shocked there… When was the last time he felt that he needed to dodge an attack? Moreover, it was the attack of an ordinary girl… She had the talent and the skills to be the best archer in the world, she also had a bow and armor that enhanced her arrows tremendously, but she was just an ordinary woman…

“I was forced to dodge the attacks of an ordinary woman…” Zenis said.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Alexander asked. “My wife is a badass, you know.”

Icarus felt like facepalming… A lot of things started to make sense. Either these guys affected Billy, or Billy affected them. Still, this kind of behavior while facing such a powerful enemy was close to insane.

Zenis fired some swords toward Meryl and Lily, but the projectiles lost a lot of power while they were flying, and then the arrows blocked them with raw power alone. Lucyna stole the mana inside them.

At that point in time, Zenis relieved that he was making the same mistake. He was using the right amount of power. He felt that it would be enough to deal with his current enemies… The same way of thinking made him almost be killed by Billy. Still, he couldn’t bring himself to go all out against those he deemed inferior to him.

“This is getting annoying…” Natalie said that she couldn’t fly and attack the enemy.

Instead of fearing him, the enemies were complaining… It has been a while since he felt so much anger. He didn’t realize that he wasn’t supposed to be that mad over something so silly, even more so when he was the literal cause of it. In the end, Zenis took a deep breath… He didn’t have to go all out against those people. They were stronger than his soldiers, but only that… He could easily deal with them.

As if he was trying to show them that they weren’t worthy of his time, Zenis summoned several Hydras to attack the nuisances near the city. Now, he will have to deal with only the stupid ones that had dared to fight him up close.
