I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 547 Influence (1)

　　 Billy decided to explore the areas beyond the mountain, and he found another village there as well. This time, the demi-humans had some wings on their backs that Billy recalled doves. They also had some pretty sharp and long nails, and it seemed that they used those to fight since some of them had their claws dirty with blood.

　　 Billy decided to fly high to check the entire area, and he confirmed that such a tribe was the only one there. Billy only found another group after finding another lake…

　　"It seems they use those landmarks as division between their territories," Billy thought. "It won't surprise me if they fight and start a big battle just by finding strangers on their lands. Despite that, there are no signs of cultivation fields or other constructions aside from their homes… It seems that they don't think that they can improve their lives, or perhaps it isn't worth the hassle since they might be attacked at any moment."

　　 Billy saw the same thing happen many times on that land. Also, when he found someplace that the demi-humans kept their distance, Billy found some nest of monsters that even the natives would have problems with.

　　"I guess it is time to look for traces of the necromancer," Billy thought. "The smallest tribes live in isolation from most other tribes and communities, so I would guess that he lives in a large community."

　　 Billy didn't find any traces of those, and he had explored a large amount of land. Perhaps he was even beyond the zones explored by Icarus. Come to think of it, he and Lucyna should be there, but Billy didn't feel their mana until now. Maybe they went to another region or in another direction.

　　 Although he flew slowly, he couldn't help but frown at finding only a few tribes in several hundred kilometers. There were no signs of towns or of cities either… Not even the signs of the destroyed ones. He imagined that over the years, some tribes would try to build those, but the small ones never grew beyond a certain point.

　　"I guess I will have to go as high as possible and see things from above to save time," Billy thought.

　　 Although Billy did that, things didn't improve that much. He couldn't see any signs of cities or towns… It was hard to say if it was due to the environment that was almost completely green and dense or because the towns never grew beyond a point. Even with his good eyes, Billy couldn't see the villages from so high.

　　"Come to think of it… Does the atmosphere become thicker the bigger a planet is?" Billy thought. "If that is the case, then it is no wonder I can't see anything…"

　　 Billy made a mental note to improve his helmet and add a function to find life forms that have mana even from dozens of kilometers away. That would be complicated, but it sure will save him a lot of time the next attempt, he tries to find more demi-humans. Regardless, the trip back home would only take six hours, so Billy had twenty-four hours of exploration. As long as he doesn't go too far, he shouldn't have any problems returning.

　　 Although it took him a while, Billy eventually found something that wasn't a small village. He felt some vibrations in the mana in the air, and when he looked in the direction the vibrations came from, he saw some smoke and dust rising to the sky… A battle had just started.

　　 When Billy approached, he frowned when he saw some giant creatures carrying massive clubs that had been made using the trees of that continent. They had some horns on their foreheads and spikes on their backs. Their faces were hairy and pointy like bears, but their eyes were red and vicious. As if that wasn't weird enough, Billy saw some demihumans driving those giants, they were quite short, but Billy could sense a lot of mana on them. They had some fox-like faces, but aside from that, they looked pretty human.

　　 Billy frowned when he saw the statuses of those short guys. They were pretty weak overall, but their magic was stupidly high, and they only had a single skill as well, but they trained that a lot. Nevertheless, only five of those short guys and five giants managed to destroy completely a village of some humanoid ants. The ants were even taller than humans, and they could fire some acid from their mouths, but it wasn't powerful enough to stop the giants.

　　 Some of the demi-humans were smashed by the clubs, and others were stepped on and killed by the gigantic mobsters… despite that, somehow, half of the village managed to spread around the area and escape. It was surprising that they weren't chased by their enemies… Regardless, those guys that were controlling the monsters with illusions stepped down and checked the village for some resources. Although their numbers weren't big, they still got all the food that they found and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

　　"They fight each other in this land for food alone… They don't even care about territory," Billy thought. "Still, I suppose the less enemies the better… Even though in such a place finding fruits, meat, and veggies shouldn't be difficult."

　　 Billy saw things from a third-person perspective, so he might be wrong. Still, he felt like that truly messed up. It wasn't like they didn't have much land to cultivate, and it was more like they only knew one way to survive. Billy wondered if that was also a result of the influence of the reincarnated individuals… That continent was pretty big, so the chances of some of them being born there were high.
