Chapter 740: Annoying enemy (1)
That was a bit annoying, but Billy felt satisfied with what he had learned. Apparently, the other spirits can only awaken when someone gets the four basics first… Still, Billy couldn\'t say if the others were only two or more. Also, did the spirit just give up on its conscience without a thought?"You are still there, aren\'t you?" Billy asked. "I have heard that some people can talk with spirits of medium rank."
"I can, but this is annoying," The spirit said. "I am going to laze around until you find the others since I don\'t have all the answers."
"What a prick…" Billy thought while frowning.
In any case, Billy achieved his goal, so he couldn\'t complain much more. It was time to return and feel satisfied with the results. Billy immediately tested the spirit of the wind powers, and he confirmed that he could fly with a lot more ease even in the middle of the thunderclouds… it was like the air no longer offered resistance, which made sense.
When Billy returned, it was already day since the human continent was on the other side of the world, so the training had already started. After adding all those effects to his armor, Billy didn\'t know what else to add for the time being. He tried to add the effect of the innate skills, but it didn\'t work… so, he began to copy them for his friends and allies.
Although many of the archers complained and didn\'t like that sort of training, they eventually got used to the weights. They grew up thinking that skill was everything, after all. While many of them had the physical strength to use longbows, many preferred to use the smaller versions.
In any case, while she was single and she could do everything with her life, Samara was sticking a bit too much with Alessandro. Billy wondered if it was fine to leave things like that… in the end, she wasn\'t stupid, so he decided to let things be.
"Haha! This is so much fun!" Lily said when she was testing the technique that she learned.
"Lily… please keep your focus while we are working…" Alexander said and then sighed. "Remember, we don\'t know when the enemies will come and cause problems again."
"Whoops, sorry… I got carried away," Lily said.
Lily was testing and improving Heroic Archer, so it couldn\'t be helped. Besides, relaxing a little during work might help things in the long run. Billy checked with his wives and confirmed that they were fine and Billy\'s kids were with them. They also wanted to use the weights, but they were too young for that, so they were doing the standard.
"I guess there is nothing for me to do here… let\'s focus on gathering mana and making copies of the armor," Billy thought.
During the next three days, Billy managed to gather enough mana to make copies of the armor for his wives, friends, and his allies, at least most of his allies. If he were to give copies to all the leaders he knew, he would have to work for an entire month. After finishing the first batch, Billy wondered if he should gather some data on their performance or make a second for people like his parents… He also had the option to train by himself since Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl definitely have been feeding that crystal with their mana.
"How are things with the core of tyrants dungeon?" Billy asked via telepathy..
"You decided to talk at a good time," Icarus said. "It seems that it has become as strong as before. However, it isn\'t getting any stronger… it is absorbing mana to spawn more tyrants in order to cause a dungeon break."
"You guys have things under control, right?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, of course, but isn\'t this a problem?" Icarus asked. "If they can\'t become stronger, our pace will eventually decrease."
"Most likely, they can become stronger… but only after a dungeon break," Billy thought. "The cores have power levels, and the monsters that they capture also determine their potential. My guess is that whenever they break, the dungeons create new sectors with powered-up versions of their captured monsters, or they absorb the data of others."
"I suppose it makes sense…" Icarus said. "Meryl wants to talk with you."
"What is up?" Billy asked.
"Now that the tyrants\' dungeon is back to before, I think we should revive the fire dragons\' dungeon," Meryl said. "We also should work to make it become as powerful as before and then make you get that core."
"Hmm… that seems like a good idea, and I had planned to do that eventually, but…" Billy said.
"You are hesitating because it seems like a shortcut to you," Meryl said.
"As usual," Billy replied while shrugging. "I managed to win against Zenis because I didn\'t rely that much on my powers, and while dungeon cores aren\'t something that Uvish probably created, I can\'t help but compare both of them…"
"While I can see your point, you need to understand that Uvish will use the dungeon in his favor if he has the chance," Meryl said. "If you don\'t plan on using the core, we might as well not revive the dungeon and wait a few years for that to happen naturally and still give a chance for Uvish to use it against us."
"That would be a problem on all ends… We need more dragon hearts, after all," Billy said. "I also suppose that Uvish won\'t wait a few years because he thinks I might change my mind…"
Billy never took his powers for granted. That was why he traveled around the world and tried to learn as many abilities as possible from the people that he met. That wasn\'t something that Uvish couldn\'t steal from him… That was knowledge.
"Well, I will think about it. I am busy right now, so I will leave that in your hands," Billy said.
"All right," Meryl said.
After that state, Billy and the others will have only another one up North. While the number of allies that they could make in that part of the continent wasn\'t high, it still was a lot better than nothing. That was another reason he wanted to compensate for that opportunity that he might refuse in the future… After all, the difficulties that he surpassed until now made him think of numerous ways to get stronger.
"Well, I can always use that as a last resort… I have a few other ideas in mind, and since I can\'t always do what Uvish thinks, I need to consider them more," Billy thought. "Still, if he has some level of foresight left, then perhaps all my plans are things he is preparing for… a truly annoying enemy."
