I Can Make Everything Level UP

After hearing Billy's words, the group didn't know how to react. After all, they didn't know how to do things at a relaxed pace. While they cleared a dungeon, they didn't learn that adventurers were a lot more free-spirited than ordinary people. They also didn't see the Adventurers in the area going inside the dungeon often. Still, they assumed it was because they had already reached the deepest places a bunch of times.

"How do you feel now after hearing such an obvious thing?" Anna asked. "You two wanted to get stronger and you two wanted to get along as a family while working together, but you forgot to enjoy the work while focusing on a single thing that doesn't even matter."

"When you put it like that…'' Camilla said while frowning. "I guess we acted quite foolishly."

"I guess I also let myself get carried away by a sense of competition…" Drew said while scratching the back of his head.

"To be completely honest, I don't want to work in this dungeon for long and I will only face the guardian again when I don't have any other choice," Billy said. "To find the last room and to return from it, we had to travel for two weeks, after all."

"Two weeks… I get goosebumps just by thinking of staying in that place for so long," Samara said.

"Also, you don't have time to take proper baths or to have good meals… You will have to rely on rations most of the time since you can't carry that many luggage with you," Billy said. "Still that eager to experience that, Samuel?"

"Not at all…" Samuel said while showing a forced smile. "Still, big bro, can you at least go with us today and show us what you did when you cleared the dungeon?"

"I suppose that is fine, I can't fight well with those weights yet," Billy said. "Still, since there are people inside the dungeon, I won't be able to go all out."

"What would you do if there weren't people inside?" Drew asked while frowning.

"I would send a blast of cold wind and freeze the entire first floor," Billy replied. "By doing so, the monsters would spawn already covered in ice. Suffering some damage and a lot slower than before. Still, I can do the simpler version and do it in a single area."

In the end, even Anna entered the dungeon to see what Billy was talking about. As soon as they found the first monsters, he used Niflheim, and then they got frozen… It was a lot more powerful than before since Billy's magic had improved.

"You took a week to reach the last room even when you froze the enemies like this?" Anna asked.

"That is right, the monsters on the lower levels can resist more against this type of magic, so I can only slow them down," Billy replied. "In the last section of the dungeon, this spell is almost absolutely necessary since the monsters appear already invisible and their numbers are high as well."

After hearing that, Samuel didn't feel that eager to find such opponents anymore. Still, he tried to create a blast of cold wind as well, and while the temperature was quite low, it could slow down monsters, not freeze them.

"I guess I need more training," Samuel said with his head down.

"Everyone needs more training, this isn't a fashion item like dad said it was, after all," Billy said.

With Billy's help and the fact that they had mapped the first section completely, they reached the fourth floor in just three hours, even though they needed twelve the previous time. Still, they returned because they knew that Billy had to return home while his wives went to work.

When Billy returned home, weirdly enough, Jean's carriage was in front of his house even though it was lunchtime. He didn't visit around that time, so Billy assumed that something had happened. Possibly, the summoner was on the run again… To think that he wouldn't give Billy even six months of peace…

"What… happened…" Billy stepped inside his house and opened another hole on the ground.

Kate and Natalie, who were showing serious expressions, facepalmed, while Jean frowned. Billy had forgotten to take the weights again, but it couldn't be helped because of the situation.

"Hello, Billy," Jean said. "Something happened in Aura territory and I was asking Kate and Natalie to move out her students as soon as possible."

"Something?" Billy asked.

"Suddenly, thousand of monsters appeared in Aura territory two days ago, I already sent some Reinforcements from the borders, but I don't think it will be enough," Jean explained. "Mobilizing an army or the adventurers will take too much time, so I decided to send your friends students."

"Could it be an attack from that guy?" Billy asked.

"Aura didn't mention that, so the possibility are low, she keeps her borders well watched," Jean replied. "While there is a chance that he used some underground route, we think that a dungeon broke… A dungeon that just suddenly appeared and broke as well. Regardless, time is of the essence, so I want them to depart right now, I will send things like food and other tools that they will need as soon as possible."

In that kind of situation, time was really of the essence, so Jean did the right thing. Since it wasn't a problem of a dungeon and the monsters were spreading around, it wasn't a matter that a single person could solve. That was why Jean didn't ask for Billy's help. Still, sitting this one out just for that didn't seem like the right thing to do. Putting aside the fact that innocent people were being attacked and killed by the monsters, the Riormi state were their allies, and they were supposed to help each other in times like that. Not to mention, if the monsters spread too much, things will get nasty for Hiloh state as well.
