I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 742: Lure (1)

In the end, Billy decided to send some clones to visit the leaders of the next states since they didn't differ from most in any aspect. In the first place, states like Kriesal, which had the barbarians; Tersaris, which had the galatea followers; and Monaris, which had the tribesmen, were weird since they were too different. Most likely, in the past, some reincarnated individuals changed their society that much to stand out…         

    

"I am thinking that perhaps we should split up and continue working until we reach the eastern side of the continent," Billy said when they left Alessandro and the archers behind. "Our parents are going to help our neighbors, so we won't have to move to the east after going back home. If things go well, we can move south afterward, and then we will have practically traveled the entire continent."     

"It is kind of hard to believe that we taught so many people over the continent already…" Alexander said.     

"Well, it helped a lot that we spent some years in the past teaching recruits and young adventurers," Lily said. "Regardless, I also don't want to see those three with big bellies working too hard, so perhaps that is for the best."     

"You all are already treating us like we can't even move properly…" Natalie said while frowning.     

"It is a preparation for the future! The future!" Lily said. "Besides, Billy mentioned that some states are worried that the next battle might happen before their turns come, so we don't have much of a choice here."     

"So, Lily, Samuel, Samara, and I be part of the second group," Alexander said. "We will move ahead and train the troops of the next state. Speaking of which, shouldn't we go to the demi-humans continent once we finish this? They are pretty strong, but they still need some tricks, right? Besides, you said that they don't work well in groups aside from their own tribes."     

"Meryl doesn't want to force them to follow her lead, so this will be difficult. Aside from one group or two, we won't have the chance to train many people," Billy explained. "Nevertheless, let's focus on what we can do for now and try to finish this before Uvish does anything annoying again."     

Although Billy couldn't have said much since he wasn't teaching anyone directly, the group decided to follow his plan. While they split the group, the leaders of the next states also thanked them because Billy wasn't the only one famous. Moreover, his friends had that aura, perhaps an even more impressive aura than guild masters who have fought monsters for decades.     

In any case, Billy's plans went just as he expected, and they managed to reach the continent's western side in just one month. The trip should have lasted for a lot longer, but since everyone worked together, they achieved that much. Still, while Billy was happy, he still felt bothered… almost two months had passed since Uvish's previous attack… it was weird that he left them alone for so long…     

Billy didn't want to worry his pregnant wives, so he asked for Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl's opinions on the matter. Unfortunately, they were as confused as him. It was to be expected since they had as much knowledge and worries regarding the enemy as him... or maybe not.     

"I have no idea what the enemy is thinking, aside from the fact that he probably knows about our preparations," Icarus said. "There isn't much we can do about that, though. We can only work harder to make things proceed faster than he can counter."     

"He is probably trying to find ways to counter and deal with all possible outcomes," Lucyna said. "While I think that is impossible, he is someone who had lived for three thousand years. We think at different scales… If we were in his position, what would we do to crush us?"     

"He left this generation with Limited Foresight, so he can't see the future completely, he must have a trick or two since he created the system, but aside from that, he has only the skills of the previous generation," Meryl added. "Which already makes him almost invincible… regardless, he is cautious to a fault, so he won't come and face us directly."     

Those three were nowhere near as worried as Billy… they had been training hard, so it must have been because of that… as for Billy, he didn't feel his strength increasing, even though he used his innate skills and made his monsters inside the dungeons get experience for him …     

"There are no signs of the other spirits either, so I feel like I am truly stuck in the past…" Billy thought.     

Billy tried to create some power spots to lure them over the last few weeks, but he got no results. The wind spirit told him that they would awaken, but so far, he didn't find any signs of those. Instead of focusing on that, Billy decided to use his powers and obtain strength in a way that Uvish would be unable to do anything against it.     

"I am using and abusing the combination of Emotional Control and Mana/EXP conversion, but the level-up speed began to decrease again," Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I need a new combination to help me…"     

At first, Billy thought of hunting as many monsters as possible and using Soul Absorption. Still, while dungeon monsters were strong, their souls didn't have many memories since they were only born when they had to fight… thanks to that, it wasn't a very efficient method of training. However, Billy eventually had an idea… what would happen if he used Perfect Illusion in his clones?     

When he was alone, Billy summoned a clone and then used Perfect Illusion on the clone to make the clone face a hydra. Usually, the brain would be incapacitated for a while, depending on the damage caused mentally. Unlike Dream World, which could destroy the soul with almost one hundred percent certainty.
