I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 365 Search (9)

In the end, it took them two days to take care of things necessary for their long absence not to become a problem. As for the students of his friends, they received some homework. They just had to repeat the same exercises three times a day and spend as much of their free time meditating. Although it was only basic magic, even Alexander and Natalie were teaching their students how to use simple magic. When it comes to life and death situations, that skill could help them.

Once that was done, Billy, his friends, wives alongside his kids, Gerald, and Gustav, departed to Tersaris state. It would be better if they didn't involve the leaders of the states in that affair even further. Besides, it wasn't like they could contribute much without their troops.

In any case, without stopping, the trip could probably last five days, but even Billy didn't want to be in a confined place for so long, so they would make pauses here and there. During the first day, Billy wondered why he didn't think of finding a camouflage effect for his vehicle. While he made it level up a lot, he never found such a thing… Probably because he didn't have such ability himself. Still, perhaps he should try to learn it and then pass it to his vehicle somehow. Covering it with some mirrors might help a bit, but one can't call that a real camouflage.

"Did you make these tunnels all by yourself?" Gerald asked. "I have been learning some magic, but… You either has an immense magic power or a lot of free time."

"I guess I do…" Billy said while thinking of ideas to learn invisibility by himself.

The spell could be acquired with three hundred skill points, but it seemed like a waste to do that. In any case, Billy tried to cover his hand with mana with magic in order to reflect light, but it didn't work. When he tried to make mirrors cover his hand, it only looked weird at up close, but it shouldn't be a problem from a distance. For Billy, who could turn plain dirt into glass and iron, it was easy to create mirrors better. He could make them in the perfect shape that he wanted to avoid deformations. The only problem was the durability… With the speed of the vehicle, the mirrors won't last long.

Billy had no idea how to use light magic, and he was pretty sure that invisibility was a spell related to that. It shouldn't be impossible since Billy learned how to use lightning, but… It will be hard since the light was something even less tangible than wind.

"Come to think of it, what do you guys know about the abilities of Galatea followers?" Billy asked.

"I heard that they can heal wounds fast… Nothing else from that," Gerald replied.

Gustav nodded, showing that he only knew that much as well. Healing magic was a pretty different type of the usual elemental magic, even more, different than Billy's support spells. After studying Spiritual Exchange for a while, Billy couldn't understand the logic, so he was hoping that he would learn that while he helped them. That will be his reward for such a hassle…

"I am pretty sure that they must have a few other tricks… They wouldn't last this long against a massive army of monsters by only healing themselves," Billy said while he rubbed his chin.

In the end, the trip lasted for eight days since they moved when the kids were sleeping. Billy had improved his vehicle and became a lot more comfortable, but they still felt a bit troubled by the shaking. Regardless, Tersaris state was a place like no other. It was quite colorful since the vegetation was rich and quite tall and large in most areas. It was land that was perfect for cultivating fields since there weren't mountains or barren lands around. Still, they didn't find many of those around. It seemed that they liked to preserve their environment. Thanks to that, they had to use the main roads in order to leave a trail by destroying the vegetation.

In any case, they found the temple city early in the morning of the eighth day, which was the name of Tersaris' capital. Instead of a castle, they had a huge temple dedicated to their goddess Galatea. They could see that massive structure even ten kilometers away. Still, for some reason, it was quite close to the Northern borders of the state. Maybe it was because of that. The place was bustling with people… Still, selecting such a location as their base was bad since it wasn't walled. It wasn't that good location to keep troops. However, Billy and the others soon learned why they were concentrating their numbers there. While they were approaching the place, they saw a massive dark cloud coming from the north… Billy stopped the group because that smelled like trouble, and his senses were confirmed when the dark cloud began to bombard the temple city. They were flying monsters…

"Now that is definitely something that we see everyday…" Gerald said.

"This is no laughing matter, we don't have experience fighting them… the whole reason as to why we came here now is gone," Gustav said.

"I am not sure if the enemies are only using fighting monsters…" Gerald said while rubbing his chin.

"We need to at least see things from up close before deciding anything…" Billy declared. "Let's enter the city and look for Svan. "I don't think they announced our arrival, and since our numbers are small, we need to proceed with caution."

There was the issue that Billy and the others would have to be extra careful while protecting the kids now since the monsters could ignore all forms of physical defenses. However, they also needed to be cautious in order to avoid future problems for themselves, so they shouldn't identify themselves so openly or make themselves to be recognized.
