I Can Make Everything Level UP

Ollen began to fire the fireballs, and Billy had to force his body to use Flash. In the end, he dodged them, but the explosions caused when they hit the ground made the area even hotter. Some debris and droplets of lava still hit his body, making him bit his lips due to the pain. It was annoying not to be able to use magic like usual, but that whole situation gave Billy one idea… and he couldn't help but smirk.

The explosions caused by the fireballs raised some dust and smoke, and Billy used that chance to punch the ground and raise even more dust. Ollen dispersed those a few times, but Billy kept moving around while using Flash and punching the ground. Eventually, Ollen got impatient and decided to use a big move.

Ollen created a bigger fireball and instantly made that shoot smaller ones toward all directions. Ollen felt that something on his left side got hit, and he decided to focus on that area, but then suddenly. Billy approached from behind. Ollen reacted on time to try to stop him with numerous earth spikes, but Billy ignored them and focused only on his attack. In the end, Ollen swung his blade to stop the punch. He stopped the direct attack, but Billy still pushed him backward. Without noticing it, Ollen ended up heading to a pit of lava… in the end, he stopped himself by creating some platforms of earth magic, and he sighed in relief, but then as if the lava was alive, it began to emerge toward him… Billy used Telekinesis.

"Wha…. HAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ollen screamed as he was enveloped by the lava.

Although there wasn't much around on a single spot, it was more than enough. For some reason, Ollen didn't have the skill Pain Resistance, so he was suffering quite a lot due to the continuous damage. The mana around tried to help him by protecting and healing his body, and it was starting to have some effect, but Billy approached and then punched him in the stomach, making him shut up and fall unconscious.

"There must be something around here that helped him… But first, I need to leave to interrogate him," Billy thought while he dragged Ollen from the pond of lava. "I used too much mana and suffered quite a lot of damage. I won't be able to do much if the remaining soldiers come to check things."

The castle grew silent aside from the sound of the bubbles of lava. So, it was only a matter of time before they came. Billy healed himself a little and then put the asshole on his shoulder before he used Flash to leave the area.

Before long, Billy had to stop because he was out of mana. Without his extra reserves, he felt so weak, but at least Ollen was completely out of energy. In fact, he looked like he was about to die due to the wounds.

"Seriously… This asshole is weaker than my kids," Billy frowned when he used Appraisal.

Ollen was so weak that the weight of the Diamond armor was almost crushing him. That equipment got a bit damaged, but the sword it was fine. Billy couldn't have asked for more since he didn't like showy armor, but Natalie could use the sword.

Diamond Sword

STR + 200, SPE + 200

Durability: 500/500

Putting durability aside, the status was crazy… as expected of a state that had seven dungeons that worked as mines for ores. Billy forgot for a moment that it was a long sword, and Natalie used two, and they were short ones… Regardless, Billy used the last pills to recover his mana and then headed toward the dungeon that the other two were attacking. He arrived just in time to see the dungeon collapsing. There was a sea of corpses nearby as well, so those two had been busy.

"Billy?" Icarus asked. "You returned a lot sooner than I expected… Who is this guy?"

"... the king of this state," Billy said while looking at Lucyna, who glared at the unconscious man and grabbed her knives. "He put up a good fight, so I didn't have time to interrogate him. I won't let you kill him before I get the answers that I want. This isn't a problem that interests only you anymore."

Lucyna didn't feel like waiting. The main culprit of the deaths of her people and the destruction of her home was in front of her, after all. Still, she realized that Billy wasn't joking. The guy was already half dead since he fought him. Billy had no intention of sparing the guy, but he needed answers.

After Lucyna calmed down, Billy explained what happened after they split up. The feeling that he had inside the castle. The fact that the king killed his family as a sacrifice to control that mana around the castle and how much Billy wanted to kill the bastard himself since he valued his family more than his life.

"That feeling… It was similar to what I felt in the temple city," Billy said. "Come to think of it, Beatrice and her father also had surnames."

"Do you think that they are related to this?" Icarus asked.

"I don't know if they are related, but they must have other things in coming with this piece of Shit," Billy said. "I will return to the capital tomorrow to check if there is something buried under the castle."

At the end of the explanation, even Lucyna was a bit more interested in the subject since her revenge was connected to something else… something bigger. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the destruction of her people was just a part of the immense greed of that king.
