I Can Make Everything Level UP
chapter-471

"Disappeared? Also, why are you telling me that?" Billy asked. "It is a bit too late considering that the enemy was killed."

"We don't have registers, but we know some stories and they mention that more than a few of those people that hunted my ancestor appear now and then," Felipe replied. "I believe that the woman you defeated and this summoner were the same as those that hunted her, others like them will show eventually and I am not sure if we will be able to keep using the relic to protect the temple city. I just wanted to let you know because this might involve you again in the future."

That was obvious, but what Felipe didn't know was that Billy would rather steal the relic instead of letting it fall into someone else's hands. Considering the powers of this Galatea, such a relic probably could grant near immortality for someone who has enough mana to use it.

"When she disappeared, the people who followed her decided to build the temple and this city in her honor, hoping that she would return one day, but she never did it," Felipe added.

Billy wasn't so sure of that. There was a chance that her descendants created a religion in her name in order to obtain power for themselves since they didn't inherit her powers. In any case, the surname probably was the proof that Felipe and Beatrice were descendants of a reincarnated earthling. Still, aside from that, they didn't look particularly different from the people of that world. Come to think of it, Billy's kids were cute and sturdy, but nothing else. Not like they needed any more than that to be special to him.

"This is one of the relics that we have inherited from our ancestors. Considering your skills, it isn't much, but I think it will be useful to you," Felipe said and then passed to Billy and the amulet.

Magic Defense Ring

It grants you the power to nullify damage received at the cost of your mana. All damage will be nullified as long as you have.

Durability: 20/20

"Thanks, this will be useful," Billy said.

"Once we finish the negotiating with Cegia state, we will send some monetary remuneration as well," Felipe said and then offered a handshake. "Thank you for your help, it isn't an exaggeration to say that you saved us."

"I was helping some friends, that is all," Billy said and then accepted the handshake.

After that, Felipe left the area, and then Billy watched the party for a while longer. Around three in the morning, the barbarians began to fall asleep right where they were since they had traveled nonstop for several days, but some tough morons endured until morning. Svan was one of them. Billy had finished his preparations, and he was about to depart when he met him, waving his hand toward him. Billy did the same, and then Svan fell to the ground and began to snore. He was truly something else.

At the entrance of the temple city, Billy also found Beatrice working. Too many people were partying, and few people were working, so she decided to help with the security. In the end, she silently saluted, and Billy did the same while smiling. He saw her blushing a little in the corner of his vision, but it was probably his imagination.

After using Flash a few times, Billy stopped because he felt two presences ahead, and it didn't take long for him to find the two morons. Icarus and Lucyna were waiting for him.

"Let's return together," Icarus said. "Lucy wanted to go sightseeing in these parts for a few days and we figured out you would return today as well."

"... We can't be seen together and I will meet with my friends today," Billy said after a long sigh. "We can only return together until noon."

The other two nodded, and Billy wondered why they did that since they wouldn't have time to talk. Still, with his acceleration, Icarus could land on the same spot they stopped.

"You are leaving quite the marks on the ground, Billy…" Icarus said when they stopped once when they were crossing a grove. "I thought that skill of yours was more precise and delicate."

"I am wearing weights, that is why my steps leave deep marks," Billy said and then showed the weights on his wrists and ankles.

"That kind of training actually works?" Icarus frowned.

"More and more I am starting to see myself as a slacker…" Lucyna said.

"How does it work?" Icarus asked. "Can you make some extras and sell them?"

"It depends… How much are you willing to pay?" Billy asked while smirking.

In the end, Billy gained some diamonds in exchange for the weights that he could make in the blink of an eye. While that would strengthen those two, Billy wasn't the type who fears competition. Also, he had confidence in his training routine, as if he would lose to those or even let them approach his own progress.

"Crap… I put too much mana," Icarus said.

"Me too…" Lucyna said while she was feeling the weight hurting her skin.

"Morons…" Billy said and then sighed. "You can't even control your mana after living in this world for twenty years…"

In the end, they decided to use the weights later. They had to adjust the weights slowly… While Billy wasn't willing to teach them every single thing, he told them that the basics still were important, and the basic when it comes to mana is Meditation. Regardless, around noon, the group split up, and after a few hours, he began to meet his friends and wives. He knew that they would wait for him with the good news… the enemy was killed, and for the time being, the only threat was the titans that still were sleeping. It seemed that they would have some time for peace, but they couldn't get lax.
