I Can Make Everything Level UP

After one month, Billy received news about the actions of the summoner. Apparently, he truly was fighting the followers of goddess Galatea. At that point in time, even the rumors of the battle had already reached the capital of the Hiloh state. Rosalie also sent a letter saying that the people of Tersaris state were thankful for his assistance… Still, how come the pills reached them so fast? The journey was supposed to take two months… Those who were transporting them probably changed horses many times… Or Jean had a network-specific for moments like that. Still, Billy wasn't worried about that. He was more interested in the things happening right in front of him.

"Look, isn't this amazing?" Billy said while both of his kids were finally giving their first steps without help.

"I reacted the same way when Lara took her first steps… But it seems that this is pretty normal for a kid of their age," Alexander said when he paid a visit on a day off.

"You are just jealous that they are this amazing…" Billy said while frowning. "In any case, you guys sure are reckless bringing Lara at that age to a dungeon town. She's only two years old."

"I was pretty uneasy when we decided that, but the atmosphere there isn't so bad," Alexander said. "There are crazy rumors about the guardian of the core and since we defeated that, most people fear us quite a bit. They fear us more than respect, I guess."

"I suppose that isn't the right order, in any case, why are you here?" Billy asked. "By the way, if you keep growing that much, you will get slower. All those muscles will get on the way."

Since the tournament, Alexander had been doing some strength training. He was already stronger and Bigger than Billy, so the difference was becoming even more apparent. Instead of working on his weakness like speed and magic, he decided to invest in what he was good at.

"Svan is even bigger, and he isn't exactly slow," Alexander said. "In any case, I was wondering if you could make something for my arms. I have been training with the spear and recently, in unarmed combat as well, but I am getting hit on the arms quite a bit. Punching monsters so often also is damaging my fists."

"It amazes me that you only realized that now… When your fists are so beaten," Billy said while growing. "Do you want something only for your hands or for when whole arms. Might as well cover your whole arms since your strength increased."

"It won't make me slower?" Alexander asked.

"Even focusing on strength has its benefits, it makes you more able to use heavy gear without losing speed," Billy explained. "Besides, my equipment isn't something that will hinder anyone."

"I will leave it to you then," Alexander said.

Even though Billy hadn't been taught how to forge weapons and armor, his equipment was top-notch, and Alexander knew that. Not to mention, they also had some interesting designs and gimmicks, so it was quite exciting to use something new.

While Billy still had to take the pills for Tersaris state, he still managed to craft the equipment that Alexander asked for after just one week. It was very different from the pieces of armor that someone would usually wear on their arms. It was a lot thicker, and it wasn't just a few pieces of metal connected. In fact, only the joints were made of metal, the rest was made from the scales of the poison dragon, and it covered everything up to his shoulders. So, it seemed like a piece of equipment that was alive due to the organic parts. That had been a pretty interesting work since Billy didn't have much inspiration about how he could use the parts that his guild stayed with.

Giant Poisonous Bracers

Upon contact, it may poison the target and cause ten points of damage per second for ten seconds. This effect can stack up to five times.

STR + 50, END + 50, Poison Resistance + 50

Durability: 200/200

"You asked for that?" Lily asked when the whole group went to see Billy's newest creation. "That looks so ominous."

"I think it is pretty cool, good equipment has to be shocking, to make the enemies tremble while you charge at them," Alexander said.

"It looks powerful if anything," Natalie said.

"Boys and their toys… Right, Sarah?" Kate asked.

"I suppose…" Sarah hesitated in criticizing Billy's newest Creation.

"You girls can't understand art, huh," Billy said and then shrugged. "While you aren't the type that focus on speed, sometimes, you will probably find more useful to attack the same enemy many times with light punches. This baby has a Poisonous effect, so it will cause extra damage over time. Don't play with it or you will poison yourself and others."

"Of course, I wouldn't point this at innocent people even by joking," Alexander said. "I have a feeling that the dungeon will be a cake walk now."

"The poison effect probably won't work on the monsters," Billy said. "Anyway, the parts covering your hands are quite malleable, so you can hold your spear as well, instead of wasting time changing equipment."

"Thank you, Billy, how much do I owe you?" Alexander asked.

"Just the usual, a lifetime of me watching your back and giving a hand when you needs," Billy said and then shrugged. "The next time we fight, you might stand a chance and free me from boredom."

"Getting cocky, aren't we?" Alexander asked and then laughed. "I guess you will have to put this on my tab again."

Since the garden was pretty large, Alexander decided to test the giant bracers and punched the air a bit. Much to everyone's surprise, even though he was holding back, the pressure of his attack moved the wind around with a lot of power. It was almost the same pressure a Light Spear could show…
