I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 642 Basilisk (1)

　　 To stop the enemies once and for all, Billy just increased the gravity around the head of the monsters. Thanks to that, as soon as they appeared, the heads of the salamanders were slammed against the floor, and that got them dizzy. It granted enough time for the others to attack the beasts without getting attacked back. Still, Billy wanted the effect to be powerful enough to make their heads crack in the impact, he had a long road ahead... He was making progress, but perhaps he had to use his head a bit more instead of relying on brute strength only.

　　"I feel like forging a bow with this knowledge will be a perfect way to stop all kinds of monsters…" Billy thought.

　　 Since Billy had the knowledge, that was possible. To make gravity work, he just had to send a powerful wage of mana in a perfect area in all dimensions to make it work. With that in mind, hitting an enemy on the limbs would be the same as attaching lances to the limbs of the enemies.

　　"Oh, man… My nose hurts like hell," Icarus said while cleaning some of the blood flowing from his nose.

　　"I really don't want to think that things will get worse than this, but…" Lucyna said and then sighed.

　　"You look fine, Billy," Meryl said. "Since I am a demi-human, I am a bit more resilient, but I am surprised that you can take this much."

　　"I am built differently, and like I said, I use all the chances possible to get stronger," Billy said. "If you guys can't handle this, then I can do something if I use the marbles, but then the items that I use will be from your part, and they will be mine later."

　　"Why? This would benefit you as well," Icarus said.

　　"It won't benefit me in the slightest," Billy said. "Whether you guys hunt slower or faster, nothing will change for me. You can rest easy."

　　 Billy didn't look angry, but his attitude was the same as before when he treated them a lot more coldly. In any case, it seemed that he made up his mind with "the idea of staying in the dungeon for a longer time… That was fine with them since they didn't want to rush and make a mistake and die. However, Billy knew that sooner or later, they would get tired of the environment, and then they would regret their decision to take their time…

　　 Billy was enduring the conditions there, but he still had an idea of creating a spell to counter the hit… It shouldn't be hard since he made ACs for his children. Still, Billy didn't want to learn while the others were around him.

　　 Eventually, the group eventually reached the next level, and nothing major happened… However, while facing four of those beasts at the same time, things started to get complicated, even for Billy's gravity. He couldn't keep two gravity fields stable unless he was looking at them, and since the beasts appeared on the back and front of the group at the same time…

　　 Billy couldn't focus on two places at the same time, so he changed the gravity field around the monsters in front of him and made them smash their heads against each other. After that, he pushed down their heads to the ground with all the power he could muster using Gravity Manipulation. Billy could hear the sound of their bodies crushing against the ground, but he used Light Spears to finish them off.

　　You obtained 1600 experience points.

　　The skill Gravity Manipulation obtained 800 experience points.

　　…

　　 Billy turned around to see the others, and he saw the moment they finished them… without his cover, they could work together and defeat two lava salamanders. Still, it would be impossible to hope that they would achieve the same success against the three.

　　"We should keep our formation like this," Billy said. "I will take care of the monsters on the front, and you guys will watch the back."

　　"Hmm… this is hard," Icarus said while looking at his gauntlets.

　　 Billy could sense some mana there, so it seemed that they finally learned how to enchant their weapons. Billy had to practice for two years before his magic reached that level, so their progress wasn't half bad… even more so when they already had Spiritual Core.

　　"For how long have we been in this dungeon already?" Lucyna asked.

　　"Nine days, I guess…" Meryl replied.

　　"We are doing better considering that this dungeon is harder than the previous one, but why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Lucyna asked.

　　 The group needed several weeks to reach the final room of the dungeon on the last time, but the real issue was that they had yet to face any big dragons… they knew that the dungeon was called like that because of the most troublesome type of dragons could be found there and while those three types were a pain, they still were from a lesser class. In any case, none of them could bring themselves to say that out loud…they knew that it wouldn't help much once they confirmed the fact, but they couldn't help it anyway.

　　 While those three were thinking along those lines, Billy was gathering the marbles of the monsters. The others didn't say if they wanted some borrowed extra gear, so Billy focused on his own thing.

　　"While making long-ranged weapons with the effect of gravity might help, ultimately, it will be better if I keep improving the skill instead of relying on tools," Billy thought. "With that in mind, I need to come up with a way to turn gravity into something more volatile."

　　 That would be a good start. If Billy could apply that to other types of spells, he would obtain a new secret weapon against his enemies… Fortunately, he already had an idea on how to do that…
