Chapter 404 Fire (3)

"Wow… that was… ouch, ouch!" Alexander said while his arms were trembling due to the pain.

Billy looked at Natalie, and it seemed that the attack put a lot of strain on her body as well, even though she wasn't complaining due to the pain. It wasn't a technique that they could often use… at the very least, they would need even stronger bodies to do so. Besides, it needs a lot of practice to be refined since it seemed too rough, even at first glance.

"That needs some work. Billy said that the attack isn't refined enough since you actually wounded yourself," Billy said. "In any case, rest for a while. I bet you will have the chance to practice for quite a while here."

They killed dozens of fire golems instantly, but it wasn't nearly enough to make a difference on that massive battlefield. On the other hand, Lily and Kate were a lot more consistent with their attacks, even though they were slower. Their mana imbued projectiles hit the enemies' heads and destroyed the cores pretty much whenever possible, and since they had run out of them, they made new ones using earth magic. Billy imagined that things would be like that to them, so he wondered how he could help, but then he decided to let them come up with the answers themselves.

As for the twins, they were helping the students eliminate the fire golems when Billy made those creatures leave the main group. In the meantime, Billy had some new ideas about how he could make his golem more deadly, and while he could do that, he wouldn't give the students the chance to fight and get stronger. He might get a boost of experience at first, but he was pretty sure that he would less later since the hunting speed would decrease, so he decided to do the usual.

On the first day, they noticed that the enemy's lines were decreasing, but it didn't seem like it was much progress. The number of monsters still was massive, and the heat wasn't decreasing that much. That whole situation really was a problem that only got worse as time passed… Most likely, if they hadn't been fighting the monsters from the very beginning, their main camp would have reached the capital… Or, at the very least, their heat aura would have and it would have forced the people to leave or die of dehydration.

Along that day, Natalie and Alexander tried to improve that skill that Billy taught them. He actually never tried, but he was learning a new things by watching their progress. Although it used mana, it was mainly a physical skill, and the monsters couldn't counter that with their elemental affinity. Not a single monster would. It was important to have those kinds of cards in case they faced monsters that were too good against magic or physical attacks.

"The encirclement was completed," Kate said after she received some messages. "It seems that the monsters are focusing on attacking us since we are closer to them."

"We can finally say that we are controlling the damage now," Lily said.

"Still, we will need more than that to deal with the situation," Alexander said. "The commanders finally realized that they can't do much if they don't cooperate, but even so, the best they can do is to lure some monsters toward them and decrease their numbers very slowly."

Everyone went silent after that. All of them were thinking of ways to decrease the fire golem's numbers faster. The problem was the fact that they didn't want to be reckless and cause the death of the kids. The soldiers of Riormi state were in a similar position… nothing good would come afterward if they lost their forces.

It seemed that they could only continue what they were already doing, but that was troublesome for Billy and his friends since they had been away from home for three weeks already. Fortunately, Billy had another idea that would help them a bit more… even thought it also would raise some questions.

Billy used Mind Control and then forced some fire golems to jump with all their. At the last moment, he realized how he could avoid the troublesome questions later. Instead of making them fall on other fire golems, he made them jump toward his own earth golem. Naturally, he made his golem jump and dodge the attack, making all the others hit each other after landing and thus exploding. It wasn't on the same level as the previous landings of the earth golem. Still, it did the trick, causing a ruckus among the enemies' lines and pushing dozens of fire golems away.

"That was pretty stupid… but if they keep doing that, our hunting speed will double," Kate said. "Maybe if we could call Sara, that would increase even more."

"It is because she is good at using ice magic that she can stop most of the enemies targeting Aura's territory by herself," Billy said. "She can't leave her students behind and hope that they will accomplish the same."

Kate nodded since it made sense, so she decided to use her head to think of better ways to improve their hunting speed. As much as Billy, she didn't want to stay away from Christina for too long. She and Hector were in good hands, but they still needed their parents.

In the end, the group only used simple tactics to improve things, but what truly made a difference was the fact that everyone got a lot stronger and pretty fast. The growth of the students was noticeable since they were the ones who could level up more due to their current strength. Still, for someone like Billy, who could freely allocate his status, he also made a lot of progress because he leveled up so much and put all those points into magic.
