I Can Make Everything Level UP

While the enemies were having their strategic meeting, Billy wondered what he should do aside from what he was usually doing. His next goal was to make his body as physically strong as possible, the same way when he infuses his whole body with a shit ton of mana. Still, even when he fought while keeping those skills active, he didn’t kill the enemies instantly.

“I wonder if this plan is flawed, and I need something else to make things work…” Billy thought. “I guess I should level up Chi as much as possible. Those are the only physical skills that I have that enhance my body without the use of mana… With those, I really need to reach the level that I want.”

Thanks to the strategic meeting of the enemies, the soldiers inside the barrier had the chance to rest for one hour. While they couldn’t exactly relax completely, it was better than nothing. Besides, with the power of the life spirit, they could rest a lot faster than usual. Regardless, once the enemies decided what their plan of action would be, they began to attack all sides of the barrier like a proper army.

“Do you guys think Uvish is giving them orders?” Billy asked.

“I don’t think so,” the death spirit replied. “At first, it looked like that was the case, but now I can only think that they were in a rush for whatever reason, like…”

“Like they were competing against each other or trying to defeat us before the others,” The life spirit added. “It is quite the sudden change compared to before… those people are hard to understand.”

Billy assumed that Uvish either promised them something to the one that defeated him or he told them that he had some crazy treasures that would be very useful to them. That was really annoying, but it was clear the type of thing that a schemer would do. In any case, the confusion of the situation only made things look even more suspicious, so Billy had to keep his guard up and don’t let anyone relax.

In any case, after the meeting, the enemies also began to attack the barrier more methodically, and they only sent small groups at a time. Sometimes, they only used faints to fool Billy’s allies and make them move for no reason, just to wear out their bodies and minds. Still, the leaders of the many armies on the defending side used that chance to make some soldiers retreat and rest.

“It would be a good time for your friends to show up…” Billy said.

“I couldn’t agree more… still, there is something bothering me,” the death spirit said.

“What?” Billy asked.

“Usually, Uvish would be a lot violent with his methods and personal as well,” the death spirit explained. “His plan is finally on the last stages, but he still didn’t show up even once… that troubles me.”

Billy couldn’t agree more… if he had borrowed someone’s body even for a short while, he could have gotten rid of the death and life spirit instead of letting them help Billy. Unless he couldn’t keep changing bodies like clothes, and that would explain a lot…

“How are things on your guys’ end?” Billy asked.

“A lot easier thanks to the zombies of the rulers,” Meryl replied. “I was thinking of splitting them to help the other sides of the barrier.”

“I see… in any case, it is getting harder to imagine what Uvish is planning, so keep your guard up,” Billy said.

“You have been emitting that red aura for a while, and even though you look calm, perhaps you should take a break,” Lucyna said. “While we can heal a lot faster, it isn’t a good idea to abuse our bodies like that.”

“Don’t worry, I have things under control here,” Billy said.

Billy had already sent his clones to the underground to use those skills as well, and they would split the damage taken over time. While eventually, Billy was going to experience all that, he had the skills to endure and relieve all the pain once he got it. The only problem was that he felt like Uvish was waiting for him to do that… like he wanted to defeat him at his peak. He didn’t fear him… it was only natural, though. Why would someone who lived almost one hundred times more than he fears him?

Regardless, after getting so much mana and experience from the enemies and from the environment, Billy assumed that around the morning of the next day, he would make those skills reach the max level, and then he would be able to enter the second stage of that plan. For all intentions and purposes, it seemed that he would have enough time for that, considering how the battle played until now. Unfortunately, Billy changed his mind when the sun began to set…

More and more floating islands began to land nearby, and more and more enemies began to appear. Moreover, the barrier began to get attacked even when no enemy was nearby. Those who were careless enough to check things from outside ended up being attacked by invisible enemies…

“Are those… lizardmen?” Billy thought.

Billy couldn’t see them directly, but he could use Magic Eyes to see their mana, and he saw that shape. He passed the message to his allies to be wary of invisible enemies. Still, it didn’t help much because more enemy battalions kept coming and attacking the barrier, forcing some of the allied soldiers to leave and attack them. As for the result, the enemies began to kill as many allies as they lost…

“This is bad… only those with good instincts and magic eyes can see them,” Billy thought while he was making a magic tool to help with that.

Before long, Billy saw some arrows piercing and making the invisible lizardmen get killed by arrows. It seemed that Lily and Meryl could hit them somehow. Still, those guys definitely will change the flow of the battle…
