I Can Make Everything Level UP

Billy thought that he would need a few days to learn those three spells, but in the end, he learned them after a single night. The only issue was the fact that Detoxify and Relief would need to level up more to become more effective. Detoxify worked against most types of poisons, and Relief was like a painkiller. Billy wanted to teach those to his friends to avoid unpleasant surprises during that job, but it probably won't be a good idea while they are in that state. They could wait for a while longer, and besides, it wasn't like they were in a dire need to learn that. There was also the issue of compatibility, maybe not all of them could learn those spells. Or some of them might learn faster.

The next day, the things that happened on the previous day repeated themselves. The battle against the golems, the flying monsters, and the two-headed snakes didn't surprise anyone. The real issue was what was going to happen on the next day. Everyone has realized by now that things change once every two days… when they win the battles. However, no attack took place on that day, and that made everyone speechless since the attacks had been happening every single day for months.

"What do you think, Billy?" Kate asked.

"I think I want to enjoy this opportunity to have breakfast at the right time today," Billy replied.

"Be serious…" Kate said and then sighed.

"I suppose the enemy might be able to attack us at some point today if we relax by thinking that the monsters won't come," Billy said. "He might also be considering better strategies instead of just sending monsters to their deaths. It is hard to say. Nevertheless, no one will be able to relax after fighting for months every single day, so we can leave the guard duty to them."

"I will stay here just in case the snakes come," Sarah said. "You guys can return to the inn."

They didn't want to draw attention, so returning to the inn was probably the best option. Still, leaving one of them behind didn't seem like a good idea, and yet, they didn't have a better option.

"Hey, Billy," Alexander said when they were heading back to the inn. "I am planning to join the barbarians the next time they face the golems or an enemy of similar nature and I am also planning to use the giant bracers. Is that fine with you?"

"I don't think that is a good example of fighting while keeping a low profile… but that is your choice, if you think you can do more with them, then feel free to do so," Billy said and then shrugged.

"It is a pity that the poison effect won't work on the golems, though," Alexander.

"Oh? You realized that, you are getting smart, I am proud of you," Billy said.

"Your words are full of sarcasm, so they are hard to believe," Alexander said and then frowned.

Billy could tell that the muscle heads of the group were itching to fight the monsters up close. Those were Alexander and Natalie. While they have been controlling those urges while they are training others, it was hard to do so on a real battlefield. Billy wished that they could be a bit more patient since it was hard to believe that the summoner would give up without going all out at least once. That would be risky for them, but at least he would learn many things about the enemy.

In any case, Billy and the others went to check things with Sarah many times throughout the day, but nothing major happened. It seemed that the summoner was planning a bigger attack. That was the only explanation as to why he would waste a day. Thanks to that, Svan received a raven with a message written by Marie, and she said that things had been quiet across the Tersaris state for two days. She didn't find any signs of monsters moving around in larger numbers, but she didn't find the chance to sneak into their capital.

When Billy read that, he decided to wait for Icarus in a dark alley at night. He was the only one who could tell him about the situation on the other borders, after all. In the end, he showed up, but he made Billy wait a lot.

"You are… late," Billy said while trying to control his anger.

"My apologies, I was making sure that I didn't miss anything," Icarus said. "I confirmed that the summoner made all his monsters return to his territory, but I don't think that he has given up on his plan altogether."

"It would be weird if that were the case," Billy said. "Anything else worth mentioning?"

"Nothing much, the people of his state aren't doing anything worth mentioning and the summoner himself doesn't leave his fortress," Icarus said.

"Speaking of which, you never mentioned how your fight with him went," Billy said. "Can I hear about that just in case?"

"Sure, but I don't think there is much to learn," Icarus said. "He summoned many types of monsters while he was measuring my abilities. He eventually realized that I was like him, and he decided to go all out. In the end, he summoned three fire dragons to deal with me. Those also didn't do much, so he decided to come fight himself."

Billy frowned when he heard that… the power that three fire dragons should have was supposed to be insane, and yet, Icarus apparently defeated them without breaking a sweat. However, he got his ass kicked when the summoner himself decided to fight. How insane was that?

"I didn't manage to scratch him even once, all my attacks were deflected and I ended up just wounding myself," Icarus added. "That was why I was planning to learn magic, to improve my speed even further and to learn how to counter his powers."
