I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 698 Help (3)

“Were those… giants? Onis?” Billy thought when the memory ended. “I saw some mountains in my memory, and they seemed familiar like the ones around Jeannette’s former base… they were like the mountains of Neles state…”

Billy confirmed once and for all the enemies will come from other planets. Nevertheless, he never imagined that he would see such a thing as a flying castle in his life. Stupid amounts of mana would be necessary to pull that off.

Regardless, considering that Zenis had that cannon, perhaps he had seen something similar and prepared for it. An automatic anti-aircraft defense system… maybe Billy had to make a few of those because there is nothing better for flying enemies than structures that can’t move and targets on the ground.

“Even if we train all soldiers in the world against a flying spaceship… this will be really bad,” Billy thought. “They probably will have defensive systems as well, so making everyone become good at magic won’t solve the problem, at least not efficiently. When those things show up… I have to take them down as fast as possible.”

Billy knew that probably the same type of enemy and structures won’t show up, but he had to be prepared just in case… After checking those memories once more, It was hard to say for certain. Still, Uvish either used all the people in the world as cannon fodder first or got rid of them to be able to control all the mana of the world alone.

“That bastard sure can do things that annoy me very much…” Billy thought. “I suppose that is what made things easier for him afterward… once he defeated a few enemies, he decided to take a power nap to make the mana level on the world stabilize and decrease in amount by using the same mana to cultivate his powers… I suppose the high levels of mana is what draws in enemies.”

After that, Billy focused on improving the new version of his armor. He had to hurry because mass-producing those might be possible afterward since he would just have to copy everything with his new powers. That being said, he wondered what would happen considering that all of those will consume a shit ton of mana… it wasn’t like mana disappears once it is used. Still, while it returns to the ambient, it can’t be reused that fast afterward.

During that week, Billy gave the relics that he promised to Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl. He also managed to make the mana armor decrease in size and only cover the user’s body. Still, he needed to add some effects to the core since he wanted more than just protection.

Once the preparations were done, Billy, his family, and his friend went to pick up the others in their hometown and then headed to Grenciti state. Since the economy and the army of that state weren’t that strong, the leaders were more than a bit humble. Still, because of that, they were too eager to cooperate, and things went smoothly there.

Since the number of people there that wanted to become stronger wasn’t high, and because of the students that learned from Billy’s friends years ago, things proceeded quite fast. After two weeks, pretty much everyone being taught learned Fierce Arnor alongside Brute Strength and Toughness.

“I guess we can move on now. They can continue by themselves,” Billy said.

“We should thank their eagerness for helping us to save so much time,” Edward said. “Still, things will be a bit complicated in the next state. There are many tribes there, and their bases aren’t big. While we send some messages to tell them to prepare in advance, I doubt that will solve the problem completely.”

“What do you think, Lily?” Billy asked.

“Hmm… they value strength and their comrades, but the tribes have differences, and some fought each other over the years,” Lily replied. “So, hoping them to spread the knowledge on their own might take years.”

“What about beating the asses of the leaders of each tribe to make them cooperate?” Billy asked.

“Billy…” Kate facepalmed and then sighed.

“Yeah, that might work,” Lily said and then laughed. “As expected from Billy, you still understand how tribes work and where we came from. As I said, they value strength and respect the strong’s opinions. They respected me quite a bit, which bothered me since a lot of the strength I showed came from the armor.”

“Not everyone can use the armor, so you think that is an extension of your own strength,” Billy said. “Besides, who can hit enemies with arrows at five hundred meters of distance with one hundred percent accuracy? The armor would be useless in other people’s hands.”

“Hehe, thanks,” Lily said, a bit embarrassed.

“Billy… why are you suddenly complimenting my wife so much?” Alexander asked.

“Because before she was your wife, she was my friend,” Billy said. “Besides, you don’t have to complain about this when my wives are also stepping on my feet out of jealousy.”

To think that even that would spark the fury of his wives… nevertheless, they had to move on because they had a lot of things to do and too little time. In any case, Billy was too old for that kind of thing of conquesting territories by defeating their leaders, so he wondered if Samuel could save him from the hassle. Still, that would make them listen to Samuel, not him. When the time comes for the real fight, Billy will have to give them orders.

“I suppose it can’t be helped…” Billy thought. “Let’s first find the biggest tribe and then talk with them.”

Once they crossed the borders between those two states, the path ahead was bumpy and full of obstacles. Still, berser-car managed to surpass them with no problems. Billy could have added the ability to fly, but that would draw too much attention.

Along the way, some tribesmen found the vehicle and tried to attack it. Still, they caused no damage with their arrows and other weapons, so Billy ignored them. However, they got his attention because they had a weird aura… he saw that some of them had their bodies painted with some blue, green, and red stripes. They also had helmets that had been made using the heads of monsters… they were quite the peculiar bunch.
