I Can Make Everything Level UP

The survivors began to tend their wounds while they finished the remaining monsters in the area. Billy and his friends used that opportunity to rest for a while, but they knew that they wouldn't be able to for long since there was one titan remaining. Considering that Icarus and Lucyna are there, things probably wouldn't be that bad. However, it was better to be safe than sorry. Also, Billy had a feeling in his chest bothering him... and he couldn't pinpoint the reason. Maybe he was just worried and tense because the titans were finally about to kick the bucket.

"Billy, you are going to hear about this sooner or later, and even though we still have one titan to deal with, I will tell you this already," Kate said. "Someone invaded the capital of the Neles state, and they dug a hole where you buried that mad woman. The same thing happened on the former base of the summoner."

Billy showed an expression that was hard to describe. It was a mix of confusion and surprise… was that the reason that he was feeling weird right? He couldn't say since it was a first... Why would someone get those corpses? It didn't take long for him to come up with an explanation… What if, among the reincarnated individuals of that generation, there was a necromancer? That kind of enemy would be troublesome on a whole new level if they could use the former powers of those Billy defeated…

"Come to think of it, I felt that something had hit me before I heard about the titans," Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Was that the time when the necromancer got one of the corpses?"

The possibility was pretty high… After thinking for a while, Billy also realized that his powers seemed fine. It wasn't like he lost them, so he couldn't explain why he got that weird feeling.

"We will deal with that later," Billy said. "Let's focus on the task at hand."

While they didn't have mana, they still had the magic aircraft that Billy had built. Billy didn't want word about that spreading, so he hesitated in inviting Svan and his daughter to accompany them to fight the last titan. In the end, he didn't have much of a choice since they wanted to head there as well. Even if they had to go running. Unlike her appearance, Ilfa wasn't much different than her father. She was also a muscle head.

"Just what is this…" Svan said, astonished.

"You can fly, but you also built this?" Ilfa asked.

"For this kind of situation, I just learned recently how to fly without using an Earth platform," Billy said. "You just need to control the dirt below your feet to do that."

"So, it is like that… I thought you were using wind magic," Kate said.

Billy was actually using Telekinesis, but he couldn't mention that. Nevertheless, that other method also was pretty good, so it was fine. Regardless, the group headed toward the Northwest, hoping not to find a land dominated by Golems. Billy gave Lucyna and Icarus and one hell of a task to fight alongside the people that had just lost their leader. Still, they had the means to win… Without losing many people? Billy wasn't so sure of that.

In any case, the trip lasted for ten hours, but even before they could get where the titan was supposed to be, Billy realized that something was off. There was nothing off with the weather… Even if the last titan was supposed to be ab earth titan, the beast was supposed to have some sort of defense spell that would affect the entire stare.

After they passed above the capital where Billy defeated the summoner, they saw an army returning to the capital… It seemed that they had won, but Billy couldn't see them being happy.

"Let's land nearby and investigate the area ahead on foot," Billy said.

Billy landed the magic aircraft in a grove and hid it with earth magic. After that, the group headed to the area ahead as fast as possible. Truth to be told, Billy could feel two familiar presences there waiting for him, so he knew exactly where to go. In the end, he found those two morons with hoods on to hide their appearances… they were Lucyna and Icarus.

"Those idiots sure like roleplay…" Billy thought when he saw that. "What happened here?"

"... we fought the titan for a few days and decreased the number of its minions," Icarus replied. "However, when we were planning how we should attack the titan, a suspicious group appeared and killed the titan in the middle of the night. They only needed ten minutes, and the monster had already been killed when we came to see things, and the group had vanished."

Billy frowned when he heard that… That was just too weird, and he could tell that Icarus also looked a bit suspicious of him. He probably was thinking that Billy used him to create an opening against the monster. Aside from the people there, it was hard to believe that someone else had the strength to take down a titan so fast… In any case, he probably didn't hear about the corpses that were stolen, and Billy's guess was that the necromancer killed the titan. The real question was, why? Wouldn't it be better for them to wait a while longer and just deliver the last blow? Considering what happened so far, it was hard to say if the third party was a friend or enemy… Acting in the shadows and messing with graves, and then helping Icarus and Lucyna. Those two actions didn't make sense…

In the end, the threat of the titans was over, but none of them there felt like celebrating. They had too many doubts in their minds. It was also a pain, but Billy will have to talk with those two more seriously to clear that misunderstanding.
