I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 436 Descendant (5)

"Don't increase my workload, damn it… Billy said and then sighed.

It would have been a lot easier for Billy to just sink those blacksmiths' shops in the ground with his magic. However, he couldn't leave his traces behind. It wasn't hard to believe that rumors about him had reached that land, so they eventually would connect the dots. Even without the means to fight back or have their revenge, some rumors would be born, and they might cause problems for Billy later. In the end, that was the best approach for that situation.

Just complaining about it was useless, so Billy started working. Around the time he finally stopped getting experience, he reached the warehouse. Despite its size, the place wasn't crowded with materials. Still, Billy found some weapons there, which was weird. What was even more weird was the fact that they had some emblems on them.

"I heard that some blacksmiths put their insignia in their weapons to show others their creations, and that also works as an advertisement," Billy thought. "But why would all of them have the same symbol?"

There were dozen of them, and the guards probably used those as their working weapons, but it was weird that all of them would be forged by the same person. Nevertheless, the symbol was of a hammer resting on an anvil.

Brutal Spear

Brutal Sword

Fire Enchantment, Earth Enchantment

They sure were powerful for weapons that were just copies of one another. To create a weapon of that level, Billy had to use tons of mana… What was weird was the fact that they were enchanted even though there were no monster parts on them.

"Something is wrong here…" Billy said while rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Billy could wonder about that while he worked, and so he did it. Although he had come to get a new ally, he was starting to think that things were a lot more complicated in that state. Billy felt that something was off from the very beginning he heard of Lucyna's story. It was weird for three dungeons to appear at the same time in a single star. His research made him learn that they only appear once several decades, after all. The insignias in the weapons, the fact that such a state had dungeons that worked as mines and gave them the materials to become so rich… It was almost like…

"No, I can't assume anything yet," Billy thought. "I just need to keep my guard up and do my best no matter what happens. I won't let anything get in the way of my second life."

In a hurry, Billy also worked to get the materials from the nearby workshops and hid them underground. While they were getting rid of most of the soldiers, it was better to be safe since even ordinary people could become troublesome with those weapons. Thanks to that, Billy had to stay in the city for quite a while, and when he left three hours after leaving the others, he saw that they still were fighting. Lucyna was nowhere to be seen, and Icarus was taking his time fighting a few hundred soldiers that were left.

"Usually, he wouldn't let them see him… Did he run out of gas?" Billy thought.

Even with his help, it seemed that Icarus didn't have enough energy to run and attack thousands of enemies without taking a break. While that wasn't shocking, Billy didn't know if it was due to his mana or stamina. Even if he could run at supersonic speeds, he still would need the stamina to deliver the attacks… Nevertheless, Billy still could see and sense some people moving around in the city. All the soldiers and guards had left to fight, but it wouldn't be weird if the population came to intervene as well. Billy certainly would have some problems dealing with that. If he begins to kill civilians, he will have to continue in order not to leave any witnesses that might cause him problems by spreading rumors. Billy made some Earth spikes pierce the soldiers' legs from below with that in mind. They are pretty small, but they still pierced through their armor and decreased their mobility.

Icarus passed by them, knocking them down several soldiers, and he approached billy with his speed. At the same time, Billy three some pills to him. in the end, he used all of them and recovered his energy before dealing with the remaining ones in the blink of an eye.

Billy approached the corpses while Icarus sat on the ground while sweating a lot. Billy checked the weapons and confirmed that they had the same insignia. At that point in time, he didn't believe that they were forged by the same person. Still, why would the blacksmiths give the weapons those Marks?

"Do you recognize this symbol?" Billy asked.

Icarus shook his head, and he finally noticed that all the weapons had the same, Mark. In the end, they could only wait for Lucyna to come and answer those questions. However, even after half an hour, there were no signs of her.

"What should we do?" Icarus asked.

"The golems aren't leaving the dungeon, so she still must be fighting…" Billy said. "You can go and help her. I will bury the weapons and make sure that no one will approach the mine."

Icarus nodded and then left. While he was working, Billy wondered why Lucyna cleared the dungeon so easily when he had a hard time with the second one. The answer was obvious… The core was waiting for him, not for her. But now, the fourth dungeon had a countermeasure against her…
