I Can Make Everything Level UP

"In order to increase our chances of success, we will need more than just our powers," Lucyna said. "With that in mind, I think it would be better if you watch those guys and try to learn their ability. You are good at that, right?"

"I see… You want a magic item that will let you become invisible now and then," Billy said.

"Considering that, wouldn't it be easier to summon a monster that might help us with that?" Icarus asked. "You can use the powers of the summoner to grant us that ability temporarily."

"True…" Billy said and then rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Still, a summoned monster can be killed, while an item can't… I can sell you those for fifty gold coins each."

Additionally, Billy also would add an extra effect on the ring that would alert his mana of their approach while their effects are active. Such a thing was practically unnecessary since Billy could sense the mana of practically everything once they entered a certain range around him. Still, it was better to be safe than sorry, there was no telling what might happen if he get careless.

"You are really mercenary… But I suppose it is a fair price since it isn't a loan," Icarus said.

Billy began to work on the magic item. Since those dumbasses were more than a bit clumsy, he wondered if just an invisibility effect would be enough. Most likely not, but Billy also didn't want to power them up more than necessary. In any case, Billy made a cloak that would increase the number and power of the effects, and he also added Mana Dominion to it. That way, they wouldn't get surprised, even by enemies with special stealth skills.

"Oh… This is a weird feeling, it feels like my senses improved, and I can even see things behind me," Icarus said.

"Are you sure about this?" Lucyna asked.

"Yes, consider it my last help to you guys," Billy replied. "If you make a mistake again, even after having this, I won't see any point in us working together."

Icarus gulped after hearing that Billy was right. With a magic item like those he gave to them, any mistakes made would be purely caused by their incompetence. After living for 25 years in that world, Icarus was starting to think that he should take things more seriously. While he didn't want to be that prideful, deep down, he only considered other reincarnated to be people that could become a problem… He was clearly wrong about that.

Once they finished the talk, Billy headed home. Dealing with those two was really tiring, and Billy had work to do. Still, at least they will keep an eye on that army while he finishes the armor.

"It has been a while since I trained my body like before," Billy said while he was stretching his arms. "All I do lately is work and explore that continent… I don't think getting rusty, but I should do something about this."

In the end, Billy spent the rest of the day using his weights at the maximum output while he trained with the diamond glaive. He only lasted for two hours, but once he finished it, he felt a lot more refreshed than before. After taking a hot bath and getting rid of his fatigue, Billy returned to his work with a new Vigor.

Icarus and Lucyna didn't tell Billy when they were going to depart, but on the very next day, they began to send some more reports. Apparently, they found another village that had been destroyed. Billy wondered if it was the one he saw or if that army could move so many times in a row. They sure looked disciplined enough for that.

Billy told them to look for information and tribes that might have given the origin of those guys without giving them too many details. Billy also told them to look for dungeons since he had yet to find them. Most likely, the salamanders came from those, and if the enemies could tame them, it was better to destroy the dungeons. That might cause some problems to the continent, but that wasn't something the current Billy had to consider.

"My guess is that the strongest tribes control the dungeons so that they can keep getting stronger using them," Billy thought. "While we use the dungeons here to boost the economy, they probably use those there to boost their forces."

Doing that will be the same as Billy declaring himself as their enemy, so he won't be able to do that, at least until he gets a good plan of action. Regardless, the next ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and he finally finished Kate and Sarah's armors. It was time to ask Alexander and Lily their specifications for their armor as well, but before he did that. Billy realized that he had nine hundred skill points, and the list had finally been updated.

Out of dozens of new skills, those were the ones who picked Billy's interest. With Energy Manipulation, Billy could pretty much control and transform all sources of energy… light, heat, motion, and even cold, as long as the level of the skill granted could affect the source on a certain scale. With skill bestowal, Billy could give skills and effects to objects and living beings, as long as he knew how to use them himself. With Spirit magic, Billy could see spirits and control them… that was kind of scary, but it seemed that it had many uses. Thanks to those, he didn't know what to choose.
