I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

The enemy suddenly dashed toward Billy, and he frowned when that guy suddenly increased his speed and approached him. Billy used Light Spear since he clearly wasn't a run-of-the-mill soldier, but much to his surprise, that guy dodged it and tried to slice his left side. Billy blocked the strike with one of his bracers, but he still felt a lot of pressure from the attack, to the point where his bones began to crack. It had been quite powerful considering that he only used a one handed sword...

"Manuel… you work for Ignace," Billy said. "To think that the right-hand man of that guy would show up…"

Manuel stepped back and frowned. Few people on the enemy's side knew his face, and Billy certainly wasn't one of them. In fact, he seemed pretty confused before, so it didn't make any sense when he suddenly realized who he was.

There was no point in talking or waiting for the enemy to strike again, he had some weird skills, so Billy was better at finishing him off quickly. After making a stone bullet emerge, Manuel raised his guard since he knew the power of those. However, Billy charged instead of attacking and used Light Spear again. Manuel used his sword to block the strike, but he was pushed backward for several meters.

"How the hell can be someone who can use magic be this strong physically?" Manuel wondered while maintaining a neutral expression on his face.

While he was thinking about that, Billy made four other bullets emerge from the ground, and they were circulating around Billy. That wasn't good for Manuel. The enemy's skills were still unknown, so he couldn't fight him for too long… Manuel didn't want to use that on a battlefield, but he didn't have any other choice.

Manuel charged, and his speed increased and slashed toward Billy's neck in the last moment. Billy lowered his Posture and dodged… he smirked, seeing the enemy wide open, but much to his surprise, Manuel's arm moved in the opposite direction, and it was ready to strike him again… that was impossible… he didn't even finish the first move and yet…

Before Billy could find an explanation, he was forced to back down to evade the strike. However, he fired back the earth bullets to understand what was going on. He fired them at the same time in different spots of Manuel's body. Despite that, he hit the bullets with medical precision. Not only that, his sword didn't feel the weight behind each of those. That wasn't supposed to be possible… but then Billy used Analyze on Combo.

Combo: It grants you the power to use consecutive attacks ignoring the physical effects of the previous ones. Each level grants you one additional hit.

Cost: 02 MP per hit

That explanation was weird… but from what Billy understood. It seemed like Manuel could land several attacks while keeping the same strength and not losing any even if he hits or something or if his attacks are blocked.

"That defies the laws of physics… how is that possible?" Billy frowned.

If Manuel learned that by himself, he sure would be an insane guy, but while he was the right-hand man of the command of the enemy's army, he didn't seem that impressive to Billy.

Once again, without giving Billy any time to think, Manuel charged at him, and he swung his sword wildly as he could, but Billy knew that those big swings wouldn't keep him wide open, so he only stepped backward to dodge. Each time he did that, he confirmed what he still could do. As if his arms didn't have bones or ligaments, Manuel made swing like a whip. Once he realized that he was going to miss, he already followed with the next attack. Although the cost in stamina was low, Manuel always finished his combo on the third of our fourth attacks. Apparently, that skill put a lot of strain on his arm. That was either the case, or Manuel was trying to fool him… or he was doing that to avoid getting himself too exhausted.

"Maybe I should just carbonize him…" Billy furrowed his eyebrows.

That would be way too simple, and besides, would the enemy approach him knowing that he could do without having some countermeasure? Manuel charged again, but this time with a reverse grip. Billy grew tired of letting him control the flow of the fight, so he used Light Spear again… it was time to overwhelm him with something else.

His skill connected to the enemy sword and pushed him back. That was new… he didn't activate the skill on the first strike, or the difference in power was that big? It couldn't be… Billy tried again and again until Manuel was pushed back so many times that he was forced to hold his sword with both hands.

"I suppose using that skill with both hands will be hard… not, that doesn't make sense," Billy thought while furrowing his eyebrows.

Manuel's swings got heavier and more precise. Thanks to that, Billy's thrusts were pushing back as much as before. Still, he was using more stamina, which wasn't good. Billy stopped using his skills, and Manuel began to push him backward again with his Combo. Suddenly, Manuel charged even faster and tried to impale Billy's throat. Billy dodged to his left side and then noticed Manuel letting his right hand go from the sword. In the next moment, a knife in the shape of a crescent appeared from his hand, and a sweet and pungent fragrance filled the air.. Before he could blink, Billy saw a knife almost cutting his neck.
