I Can Make Everything Level UP
chapter-144

Although their skills were being honed with each battle, their stamina was also decreasing quite fast. So, it didn't take long for Natalia and Alexander to mess up in the battle and then suffer some wounds. While the enemies only scratched their cheek and forearm, the claws still pierced deeply and made them bleed quite a bit. Billy came to help...

"All right, I guess this is enough for you guys," Billy said while he was cleaning their wounds. "From now on, you will fight with the rest of us instead of dueling against the monsters."

That was a bit annoying since they only lasted for five battles, but in the end, those two respected Billy's decision. After infusing their mana in their weapons, Billy imbued Wind Manipulation on them. Thanks to that, the next battles went a lot smoother than before. The enemies still were faster and stronger, but their claws no longer were blocking their attacks completely.

"Unless we find some real problems, I think we will reach the last room in less than ten days… If this is our last work together, I suppose we can part ways while feeling satisfied," Billy thought.

A lot sooner than expected, four enemies began to appear in each battle, and thanks to that, Billy and Sarah had to join the fights. Even if the enemies could ne deal with when the others used magic support, they couldn't be taken out instantly. Sarah began to use her specialty: fire magic with that in mind. Since she couldn't use the wind sphere yet. As for Billy, he tried to explode the enemies' heads with that spell, but they blocked the attack… they ended up losing their arms thanks to that, though.

Despite all that, Marie sure looked entertained. She imagined that Billy's party would have a harder time… or so Billy thought that would be the case. In any case, another aquatic beast joined their ambushes after a while… Billy understood why Marie was in a good mood. The monsters would keep increasing like that until they overwhelmed everyone.

"This is a bit annoying… until which number they can keep increasing?" Billy asked.

"Who knows…" Marie shrugged while smiling.

"... So it is going to be like that, huh…" Billy furrowed his eyebrows. "In any case, the other parties that reached this floor, they sure are something else since they probably are ahead of us…"

Billy assumed that there was no need to go further than that if the others could reach that floor. So, he watched Marie's expression as he said that. Unfortunately, she didn't react in any way, so he didn't get anything.

"Alexander, Let's pick up the pace… combine the magic in your spear with Light Spear," Billy said.

"Eh? I won't be able to fight well if I keep using that," Alexander said.

"Don't mind the small stuff, I got your back," Billy said.

"Light Spear… what an impressive name," Marie said. "Is that some sort of special technique?"

"Who knows?" Billy replied while shrugging.

A vein in Marie's forehead began to bulge, but she eventually calmed down. She couldn't let something that she had done bother her that much when it was done against her. Even though she usually ignored that kind of logic most of the time. In any case, Alexander did what Billy told him to do, and whenever he found an opening, he used Light Spear. Thanks to that, their hunting speed increased by thirty percent, and the boxes with the claws and fangs of the monsters began to fill up quite fast.

Once Alexander and Natalie's movements began to become sluggish due to the exhaustion, Billy stepped forward to help. Without magic… but with his spear skills…

His first enemy dashed at him like he was watching the most delicious meal in the world. Still, the creature never got close enough to attack him since Billy attacked the creature with a barrage of thrusts. Although Billy was on the offensive, he still could feel the power and the speed of the creature with each attack that was blocked.

Billy suddenly took a step backward and made the enemy surprised, but then he took a step forward and used Steel Spear. The upward strike raised the enemy's guard, and while it seemed that Billy could connect Light Spear there, he followed with Deadly Wind. The downward strike completely broke the enemy's stance. Even though the creature succeeded in blocking… still, the monster paid the price for it, its claws had many cracks, and its hands were bleeding. This time, Billy used Light spear, and while the enemy tried to block it, the spear passed through the claws and pierced the monster's skull.

You obtained 250 experience points.

The skill Light Spear obtained 125 experience points.

The skill Steel Spear obtained 125 experience points.

The skill Deadly Wind obtained 125 experience points.

The skill Spearmanship obtained 125 experience points.

That was a lot of experience. If things continue like that, all his spear-related skills will reach level twenty that same day. However, Billy's stamina was the problem. That combo was powerful, but it comes with a cost.

In the end, Billy still used that strategy, and it worked for a while longer than expected because the power of the skills increased, and he managed to get an opening a lot faster when he attacked thanks to that, but he soon found a dead end thanks to that. Still, Billy had another strategy…

When the next opponent dashed toward him, Billy didn't move. That made everyone open their eyes in shock since letting faster enemies get close was suicide… when the monster slashed its claws to rip Billy's head, he moved his left arm and raised it, his bracers blocked the claws, but the strength of the enemy was bound to overpower him… However, Billy didn't block… he parried it after sidestepping slightly.. The enemy's stance broke when the creature staggered forward, and Billy impaled it from the side.
