Ring of Ever-Growing Progress

It grants the user the chance to absorb their mana and turn it into experience points that will make them level and increase their parameters based on their highest ones.

Mana Magnetism Lv 10

Durability: 100/100

"Here, this will help with your training," Billy said and then passed the ring to Alexander. "Don't ask what it does, it is hard to explain."

"Hmm, is that so?" Alexander asked. "I will take your word for it."

"Use it under a glove, don't show it to anyone, ever," Billy said. "It might cause problems if some individuals see that."

Billy had yet to learn the ability to improve only the skills or effects of an item, so the effects of the ring were limited, but that would give his friends almost the same power that he had to gain experience doing nothing. Billy considered making several for himself, but he was already getting a lot more thanks to his summons now, so it was unnecessary. He thought of giving his kids some, but they would level up like crazy if he did that, and it would hinder their training… Also, it wasn't a good idea to give them small objects. They were smart, but accidents do happen.

In any case, during the next two days, until his wives returned home, Billy made Limited Foresight level up as much as possible while he tried to replicate that spatial distortion that he saw during the fight. He didn't make much progress in that area, but in the other aspects, things were as fine as they could be. The only downside was the fact that Foresight made him a bit too confident in certain outcomes of events. It was like knowing that something good would happen and getting lax because of it. It was really dangerous since that might change the future...

"These should help you all to become stronger, I gave Alexander already one," Billy said when he passed the rings.

"You created something new again?" Lily asked. "Your wives really can't leave you alone for too long, huh."

"That is true, anyway, I am off to give copies to Samuel, and Samara, as well as my parents and granny," Billy said. "See you later."

In the end, Billy also made some copies for his kids. Still, he will only give them later once they become more mature physically and mentally. It wouldn't be a good idea to raise them and make them see that they are too strong if compared to other kids.

"So, how was the dungeon?" Alexander asked.

"It was too easy, once we cleared it for the first time, we knew what we had to do," Lily replied. "Perhaps the next time we should try with only three of us. Still, I don't want to leave anyone behind."

"How about we try wearing the weights?" Natalie asked.

"Aha! That would make things a bit more challenging," Lily said while smiling.

Alexander had several things to say at that moment, but he also felt that it wouldn't be appropriate. Those four looked tired but not wounded, so they managed to clear the dungeon without suffering major damage in less than two days since they had to spend one day finding their way back… they were powerful enough for that kind of challenge. Besides, trying to argue with a woman was never a good idea.

After a couple of hours, Billy returned, but although it was early evening, his wives and kids were sleeping. They probably were tired from fighting for three days, and the kids followed them since they had nothing better to do. In the end, after having dinner by himself, Billy returned to his underground training arena.

"I suppose I will return to that continent the day after tomorrow…" Billy thought. "We need to make some preparations there as well and they will need my help."

During those two days, he trained really hard, but he didn't make any progress with that magic to distort space… it was really depressing, but at least he had those ideas with the rings and the magic circuits, so not everything was bad news.

Regardless, even though he appeared at Meryl's camp at sunrise, he didn't find those three. After he asked around, some people reluctantly answered his questions… he wasn't popular among them, it seems. Regardless, Meryl, Lucyna, and Icarus had entered the dungeon already.

"I guess they are really itching to get stronger… That being said, those morons forgot that we have to watch that guy's territory on a daily basis and Icarus was supposed to do that," Billy thought and then signed.

Billy could do that as well, but he decided to use his time to improve the area by changing the geography of the terrain a bit. Using his Earth magic, he made the hills even higher and steeper on the enemies' side. He also added some stairs to help the people climb those.

Billy saw that they were making some walls using trees reinforced with the scales of the tyrants… It wasn't half bad, but it would take months for them to finish that. In the meantime, Billy will have to compensate by improving the natural defenses.

The demi-humans frowned when they saw Billy changing the environment without asking anyone. Still, they didn't have the balls to complain. In any case, Billy had to use half of his reserves of mana, but he certainly managed to make the base two times better… At least against enemies that couldn't fly.

Billy also added some ballista on the top of the hills. They only required some mana to produce a projectile. At first, he thought of adding Mana Magnetism to those and making them produce ammo automatically, but Billy wasn't Santa Claus. He wasn't there to give everyone presents.

When the three morons left the dungeon, it was already late afternoon, and Billy had already left, but they saw what he did. Even though they were learning the ways of magic, they couldn't see themselves doing that much…
