I Can Make Everything Level UP
chapter-238

After dealing with half of the monsters, everyone was thinking if it was fine to assume that they won that battle. That was one of the best cards in the enemies' hands, but they didn't achieve anything with it when they used it. Billy was also thinking about that, while they had the resources to wage war for three months, the enemies didn't have the time to do so. Most likely, three months was the time they assumed it would take to defeat all armies in HIloh and Riormi state. In any case, to make the enemy give up, for now, they needed another crushing victory… Still, Billy had no idea how to achieve that, and he still was bothered about what he should do to make his mana more efficient. There was another problem… Maybe not a problem, but an issue. In any case, Billy also had to consider Lily's condition and while she was holding up, it seemed that it was getting a bit hard to fight. Still, her performance didn't decrease.

"How are you feeling?" Billy asked.

"Aside from some slight feeling of weakness in the morning, not much," Lily replied. "I am sorry for hiding about this."

"Forget about that, anyway. Are you eating more than usual?" Billy asked.

"I am, but I can't say if it isn't due to those battles," Lily replied.

Billy didn't have to ask those questions, he just had to use Check-Up, and then he would learn if Lily was pregnant or not. However, was that a good idea? They were fighting in a war, and that would make everyone in their group worry. That being said, it could also boost morale for them to try harder and do their very best to return home.

"Do you want to know if you are pregnant or not?" Billy asked. "You should know by now the merits and demerits of knowing such a thing in our current situation."

Lily knew, so she hesitated, but then she looked at Alexander, and he nodded. He was too anxious, and the doubts would only cause problems to all of them later. So, she nodded as well. In the end, Billy touched her belly and then used Check-Up. Everyone knew that Billy had more than a few skills that he was hiding from others for whatever reason, so they didn't think of anything when Billy touched her belly.

It didn't take long for Billy to confirm it… Lily was really pregnant. Given the size of the child, she was only in the first month, so that she would be fine until the second month, she could keep on fighting. In any case, while Billy could feel the baby there, he couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl.

"Congratulations… you are pregnant," Billy said.

"Eh? EH!" Alexander said.

While Alexander was completely shocked, Lily began to cry while smiling. He wondered why they looked so surprised. That is what happens when you do it like rabbits in the mating season. Nevertheless, while his friends were congratulating the couple, Billy had a certain thought. He put his mana on Kate's lungs to make her win the battle against the virus. What would happen if he infuses his mana into her heart? Would she learn Recovery? If that was the trick, then she should have learned Vigor when he did that. After all, the lungs determine the physical capacity of someone's stamina.

Although they were his future wives, Billy couldn't ask them to touch their boobs now. He couldn't ask Lily either for obvious reasons. The idea of asking Sarah would only make Kate and Natalie glared at him, so Alexander was the only option.

"Maybe I should just forget about this…" Billy said.

"Forget what?" Alexander asked.

"... Just let me check your heart for a second," Billy said after a long sigh.

"Why so sudden?" Alexander frowned.

"I dislike this even more than you. I just want to test something," Billy said.

"Well, I suppose that is fine. Even if it is a weird request, I am in a good mood," Alexander said.

Billy didn't waste time and then quickly sent his mana to Alexander's heart, he could feel the energy passing to him, but he also could tell it wasn't malevolent. In any case, Billy didn't notice anything happening with just a small amount of mana, so he kept increasing the amount until around something happened when he used one hundred points exactly. Alexander learned Recovery, and he could tell that something had changed in him. He felt more alive than before.

"What… happened?" Alexander asked. "I feel… it is hard to explain."

"I… opened something that was locked inside you," Billy said after thinking for a short while. "You will be able to heal faster after this. You know the drill. Keep quiet about this."

Maybe it wasn't the best of times to have done that. Now everyone looked confused after just hearing about Lily's pregnancy. In any case, Billy explained to them that he had this idea when he used Check-Up since now they had another reason to return alive. He warned them that critical hits might still be mortal while they can heal faster. One cannot heal when the brain or heart are destroyed.

"Kate and Sarah should be able to do the same. Focus on sending your mana to the left part of your chests," Billy said. "Unless you want me touching everyone's boobs."

"Of course not!" Kate raised her voice.

"Hell no!" Natalie did the same.

Naturally, Billy expected that kind of reaction. In any case, while those two were helping the others learn the same skill, Billy confirmed that theory could be replicated in other ways. If he could boost the effectiveness of his heart, maybe he could use it on other organs, like his brain.. That may be the answer he is looking for in how to boost his magic power. However, he also had a feeling that it was something else…
