I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 428 Reasons (6)　　 Although half of the plan was already made, things wouldn't be so simple. Billy asked Lucyna to steal a map of the state, one that had the locations of all the mines. Since they annexed the state that Lucyna was born in, they would have a lot of ground to cover and seven dungeons to destroy. It was a lot of work… Still, it was the best option and there were some ways to deal with that. Starting from the other end of the state and come toward the capital was one of those.

In any case, after studying the map for a while, Billy selected an order to destroy those places without wasting time and approaching the capital at the same time. That way, they would be able to move faster than any weird rumor could.

"I can move faster than any tumor, but carrying you guys with me won't be comfortable," Icarus said. "To any of us."

"I don't need your help to move," Billy said and then used Flash.

"I also can move faster on my own," Lucyna said and then appeared a few hundred meters ahead.

Billy didn't sense mana being used like he does, so it seemed that Lucyna had her own trick of moving faster. The mana was also pretty stable, so it seemed that it was a system skill related to her powers. After looking at the place she stood before, Billy noticed that the ground was a bit weird… The spot that she had been having taller grass than the area around. Somehow, she could move two spots and carry everything above and around with another spot. It was almost like Teleport magic.

"Well, I am still faster," Icarus said. "Besides, for how long can you use those skills?"

It was pretty stupid, but that eventually turned into a competition. It goes without saying that Icarus won, but Billy and he still were surprised that Lucyna could keep up with them. Billy had his reserves of mana, but it didn't seem like Lucyna could use magic that effectively. Unless… She also could use her powers to refill her energy. If she could turn valuable things into experience, maybe she could turn it into mana as well…

"We truly are quite the weird bunch, I don't want to even imagine someone with… No, it is nothing," Icarus said.

For someone who had more life experience, Icarus sure could be reckless with his words. It was obvious what he had thought… Imagining someone like them with all those crazy powers combined… It truly made them imagine a god-like being. Regardless, they began to cross the state, and on that very same day, they reached the border of the now destroyed Olafesis state. From far away, it looked like a normal state. It didn't have distinguished features or ambient aside from the destroyed villages, towns, and cities.

The group took a break at night and then resumed their travel in the morning. Icarus and Billy learned that the aristocrats only rebuilt the closest towns to the mines since their men would work and live in those.

"Should we attack the dungeons at night?" Icarus asked. "It will be harder for them to read if we do that."

"Those three dungeons are relatively close to each other, so it won't matter much unless we work nonstop," Billy replied. "Fortunately, those three are pretty far away from the nearest mine of the Korpal state, so they won't heat what happened for at least two days if you do your job properly."

"We should kill all the guards, that will serve as a warning for the civilians not to get in our way," Lucyna said. "If things get complicated, we will have less enemies to worry about."

Lucyna had a point, but that also could cause problems if the population gets mad and decides to intervene instead. If they work together, even outside a fight, they can cause a lot of problems…

"Let's see how things will play inside the dungeon first, if things get dicey, you can go and finish them off," Billy said. "Otherwise, it will be only a waste of time."

Billy could tell that Lucyna was itching to kill the entire military force of that state. Even if they were just receiving orders, it didn't change the fact that they are a part of the problem as well. So, she probably would stay behind to get rid of them since she couldn't them what was going to happen inside the dungeon or how the things would play out outside.

In any case, before putting their plans into action, they watched the first dungeon for a full day in order to see how things worked there. The number of guards was quite high. They had at least two hundred of them day and night around the dungeon. That without counting the adventurers or mercenaries fighting the monsters inside. As expected, things will start with a fight.

"Their levels… they are all above one hundred," Billy said. "Since cores are more valuable than ordinary dungeon materials, they stay in the dungeon for quite a while. Hence, their levels is higher than usual."

"People can get stronger fighting dungeon monsters that fast?" Lucyna asked.

"I guess it is no surprise that you don't know," Billy said. "Only a few people can use those mines."

Now that he thought about it, Billy thought that he gained experience inside the dungeon because his powers had some divine attributes, and he had assumed that the dungeons had also been created by the gods of that world. Still, normal people could get experience fast as well there, so it seemed that his guess wasn't completely right. He was half correct because his friends were between level 150 and 160, so they were getting less experience than him…

In any case, against that many enemies, it would be better to surprise them at night, so they decided to follow Icarus' strategy and rest until midnight.
