I Can Make Everything Level UP-Chapter 765: Choosing death
"What was that?" Kate asked. "That inhumane level of power…"
Since all of the enemies retreated for a short while, the leaders of the four sectors decided to come and talk with Billy, wondering if he could use that attack again. Soon they realized that wasn't possible… While Billy could accumulate a lot of energy, unleashing it all at once was dangerous. That was why his right arm was purple and swollen like it had been broken in numerous parts. More than that, and it would fall apart or explode...
"I can't give the details yet since Uvish might find a counter, but it is basically a technique that I developed to kick his ass," Billy replied. "That was a test, and it seems that I went too far…"
"Are you going to be alright?" Alexander asked.
"Yeah, just need one hour or two, and then I will be fine," Billy said, and the others sighed in relief.
Eventually, everyone dispersed, and Billy sighed in relief as well. Truth to be told, his arm was hurting and burning like hell… He wasn't fine at all.
"I thought that I improved my body with all that training, but it seems that it wasn't enough," Billy thought.
"That is because your body never reached that level of power naturally. Thus your body isn't strong enough," the death spirit said.
"Can you read my mind?" Billy asked. "That is a violation of my privacy."
"We are beings made of mana and born from the collective will of the inhabitants of this world. It is only natural that we can read minds," the death spirit said.
Billy frowned. If they could read minds, they wasted his time trying not to cooperate with him before… In any case, at least both of his explanations made sense. Billy found a way to store energy and even increase his parameters. It wasn't the same as actually getting stronger naturally. The technique wasn't perfect, but it could be used… Billy just had to control his power more effectively.
In any case, while Billy waited for his arm to heal, he didn't see any signs of the enemy preparing to attack. He spooked them well, but eventually, they will learn that he couldn't use such an attack often. So, Billy and his friends had to find a way to capitalize on the momentum.
"Come to think of it, and you guys were working with Uvish when he created the system?" Billy asked.
"No, apparently, he had the idea of creating it when he found the humans' souls that he could use for his plan," the death spirit said.
"By the look of things, he thought that it would be easy to make you guys do what he wanted as long as you have a system," the life spirit said.
Billy sighed since he could understand why… Unless everyone has a system, those who have it could use it to make themselves stand above others and even become rulers. They would enact a lot of change in the world, and that was what Uvish wanted. Nevertheless, Billy was determined to end that guy's life once and for all in order to stop people from falling into his schemes.
Unfortunately, before Billy could prepare for all that and polish those two techniques, he noticed that a lot more floating islands were crossing the stratosphere. Billy decided to attack them. Even while holding back a little, he should be able to destroy those alongside the enemies. However, the islands began to fall all around the world…
"Is it finally time for them to use all of their soldiers?" Billy thought.
Billy could tell that the mana level of the world was rising now that millions and millions of enemies were around. With their presence and blood, the barrier will grow, but with their presence as well, the enemies will be able to cause a lot more damage.
"It feels like whenever I am about to make a discovery, he does something to get in the way," Billy thought. "There is also the weird fact that whenever I make one, something weird also happens soon afterward…"
Now that Billy had those two techniques, he felt that he needed to understand the system more in order to exploit against Uvish. Although he decided to watch things for a short while, Billy soon realized that it wouldn't be possible… the lightning mage that he almost killed before began to summon a storm, and much to his surprise, he made lightning bolts fall over several zombies…
At first, Billy thought that the enemy had gone mad and decided to kill them. Unfortunately, he soon saw the zombies being covered by armor made of lightning. Their bodies were emitting a lot of heat as well since they didn't have the necessary physiology. However, the spell still worked well and granted the zombies the speed and power to throw themselves at the barrier.
Upon noticing that the zombies had been turned into suicide bombs, many stepped forward to stop their attacks, but their speed was too great for them. Those that managed to block the charge were shocked by the lightning armor and fell unconscious.
"Shit… it seems that the armor doesn't possess much offensive value since it was used in many enemies," Billy thought. "Perhaps I should…"
Before Billy could finish his sentence, he saw other rulers moving. The big guy who could absorb the impact of attacks was attacked by two other rulers. Naturally, their intentions were only to boost his power… that guy grew so much that it looked like his flesh was being ripped apart. Still, before his body could suffer permanent damage, he smashed the ground in front of him and made the crack toward the barrier.
The powerful earthquake made numerous holes appear and even revealed Billy's tunnels. Fortunately, the barrier also worked underground, so they couldn't use those. Still, that pissed Billy off…
"I see. It seems you all have chosen death…" Billy smirked viciously.
