I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

When the enemy soldiers prepared to lower their shields and face Marie's unit, she gave the order to charge. Thanks to that, some of the enemies were caught off guard and had their throats sliced by her daggers. Billy's group also had the chance to do the same for a few seconds, but soon the big shields began to block their paths. They were rather troublesome for people like them who were used to fighting reckless monsters.

"Humm!" Billy grunted and then attacked the tower shield in front of him.

The added strength worked as Billy had expected. The soldier in front of him was knocked down on the ground and was completely wide open for a moment. Before he could recover, Billy pierced his heart with his spear. He felt the Resistance of chainmail, but that didn't stop him.

Before Billy could choose another target, he felt a bump on his side and then heard the sound of metal colliding. His father just blocked the charge of an enemy. He knocked the enemy to the side and then kicked the shield to open the guard of the enemy soldier before attacking his neck.

"Don't focus too much on the enemy in front of you," Drew said.

"Aye, sir," Billy said and then looked around for a second.

He was on a battlefield. He had to expand his field of vision in order to see as much as possible. Otherwise, Billy might miss the moment when his father or his friends will need him. Upon realizing that, Billy took a single deep breath and then focused his senses on his surroundings. He had to look just once, and then he recognized all the enemies that were targeting his group. Only a single one was looking at him at the moment. Still, four others were preparing to attack Marie. She sure was popular...

Marie saw and targeted the one on the extreme right side, so Billy raised some small bumps on the ground in front of the others and made their trip and fall. After finishing the first, Marie frowned while looking at the fallen enemies. She had realized that they were targeting her, but she didn't immediately kill them…

"Get up… I won't defeat enemies on the ground," Marie said.

Billy tried to help her, and she did that… still, the enemies attacked one after the other once that happened, but they didn't scratch her. It didn't make sense for her to fight so honorably when she had thief and assassin-like skills, but many things about Marie didn't make any sense.

Although the very front of her unit was managing to defeat the enemy after enemy, the unit as a whole was being pushed down by the enemies. While so many enemies could target her unit at the same time, the others were quickly taking the place of the fallen soldiers… they truly wanted to wipe out her unit.

Billy lost the notion of time while he was fighting, he knocked down an enemy and then pierced their throat or heart, and then he looked around to check his friends. He would help them if they were about to be surrounded, or he would eliminate the enemies around if he was the one being targeted. That repeated itself dozens of times until Billy realized that the power of the enemy's strikes was getting heavier. Billy realized that he had used a lot more stamina than he had imagined.

"Is it due to my inexperience?" Billy wondered if he was letting the tension wear him out so soon.

Billy's reaction speed had decreased, and he was covered in sweat. Alexander looked like that as well, but Drew, Nikola, and Marie looked relatively fine, even though they were starting to get scratched by the enemies' spears. The number of corpses around was starting to affect the battle as well, and yet, there were no signs of Reinforcements thus far.

"Shit… are we really that short-handed?" Billy wondered while biting his lips.

Billy's strength was decreasing due to the exhaustion over time. While that was a situation he was hoping to endure. Eventually, it was troublesome since his allies were being killed around him. After taking a deep breath, Billy made his choice…

When the enemy tried to impale him, in the next moment, he saw himself flying in the sky with his shield and spear falling from his hands. In the next moment, he was impaled himself before flying for a couple of meters and falling dead on the ground. A few seconds later, the same thing happened to an enemy soldier, and again, and again. Eventually, that part of the battlefield began to be looked at and avoided by the enemy soldiers since someone there was strong enough to send heavy infantrymen flying away… At first, they thought that Gerald, the guild master was the one doing that. He was known for his brute strength, after all. However, the wounds on their bodies were different.

Thanks to Fierce Aura, Billy managed to conserve some stamina while completely overwhelming the enemies. While seeing that, the morale of the adventurers got sky high, and the enemy army stopped pushing them backward.

Billy only used Fierce aura when he was about to strike the enemies. Still, despite that, the battle dragged out for two hours, so he eventually ran out of mana as well. Even he was starting to get wounded here and there while his exhaustion was reaching the limits. Tons of steam were leaving his body as well.

"Ha… ha… I need more training," Drew said while holding to his spear in order not to fall.

"I was thinking… the same thing," Nikola said while he wasn't in a much better situation.

Alexander was hanging there, but he soon would join the group of completely exhausted adventurers.. Even the noisy Marie was completely silent due to the fatigue… Still, she sighed in relief when she saw the remaining of the enemies' battalions retreating.
