I Can Make Everything Level UP
chapter-546

"I see, so that is how you make the armors," Sarah said. "You know a lot more than we had expected, and we still are learning several things that you taught. The practical ones are easy to learn but are for these…"

Sarah was reading the manual again while she, Kate, and Natalie watched Billy making another armor. Since he was to make some for them as well, and they already knew about those, there was no point in finding any more.

"Don't worry about that," Billy said. "You guys were busy teaching others, and I had a lot of free time in my hands, so I eventually learned this. Regardless, it is time to do a test run in the armor if you haven't done it yet. Get as much experience as possible since I will use that to make yours."

"I already tested it last night," Natalie declared. "While the ability to fly is good, I feel weird not feeling the ground before attacking. Also, I don't like to be inside it. It feels like a coffin."

"I guess your armor won't have to cover your whole body, then," Billy thought. "It won't protect you completely, but I guess we can do something about it with Mana Shield. You can use the armor to fly only when you find flying enemies, and since it will become lighter, you probably will be faster on the ground."

Billy kept on blabbing about what he would change, but Natalie didn't get half of it. The other girls weren't much better since they had never seen that kind of armor. Regardless, Billy drew some designs on the ground and eventually found one that Natalie liked. While it didn't dismiss the four parts needed for the four cores, instead of full plate armor, it looked more like a half plate armor since the areas around her shoulders, knees, and elbows would be unprotected for the sake of extra mobility and comfort. Even the helmet was a lot smaller than Billy's. Still, despite that, he was confident that he could make it work as a single magic armor instead of several parts.

"Since the armor will be smaller, so will be its power to store mana," Billy said. "Still, it should be fine since you don't want the armor to have the ability to get invisible and to fly as fast as possible."

Natalie was pretty straightforward, so those changes would make sense with her fighting style. So, he began to work on it on the armor. Since it would be smaller and lighter, Billy would save a lot of time. In any case, during the day, Sarah and Kate also checked the first prototype and used it to see how they felt about it. Since they weren't using their mana directly, they felt a bit weird but eventually got used to it. The only downside was the fact that they couldn't use their usual attacks.

Billy more or less knew what they would ask for. They need to change the arms, parts of the armor, and the helmet since they would need a complete view of things around and their free hands to use their powers. Billy felt that it would be better if he could just add some magic cannons to attack, but they wanted to use their own mana for that. Eventually, Billy realized that it would be for the best as well since most of the mana of the armor was going to be used for mobility and defense for those two.

Although Billy was using his magic hammer to speed up the process, it still would take a while for all the armors to be completed. Besides, he spent the day working and didn't play with his kids, so Billy decided to take a break.

"I guess those three should be ready in two weeks," Billy said. "I won't ask you all to use it all the time, but don't try to be stubborn either if something happens. At least one of you should be ready to get the armor and equip it at all times."

"Well, we can't stay down here all the time," Kate said. "So that will be a problem."

"I guess I will try to find a solution to that problem… Maybe connecting the workshop to your rooms will solve that," Billy said.

Although Billy hadn't slept for two days, he felt reinvigorated after spending the afternoon with his kids. Billy looked at the top of his house and saw Blitz there without moving a single bit. He looked like a massive statue there… While the bird was a bit annoying sometimes, for whatever reason, he did a good job.

In any case, before going to bed, Billy checked for messages, and Icarus' timing couldn't have been better. In his report, he mentioned an earthquake, and he decided to check the area with Lucyna. Apparently, he found out that an entire base of a medium-sized tribe had been wiped out almost instantly. Although Icarus and Lucyna tried to find traces of what had happened specifically, they only found an area where everything had been smashed by something big and round.

"While they noticed it in the middle of the night and they were fast, they didn't see any signs of survivors," Billy thought. "Well, it is no surprise since most people would be at home."

Icarus also wrote that the villages and towns nearby didn't move despite the incident because they were confined in their endurance. That was the kind of arrogance of tribes that never suffered losses in decades on the continent. In any case, Icarus said that the place attacked was south, so perhaps Billy could check the next time.

"There was a chance that the necromancer lives in that part of the world, so perhaps I should send them in another direction," Billy thought. "Even with the armor, I won't be able to help them if something happens. I'd better avoid the worst-case scenario."
