I Can Make Everything Level UP

In his mind, Billy sighed in relief since he wanted to make the armor become the ultimate trump card. No one aside from those he fully trusted could know about its existence. Billy was that much paranoid. Besides, he didn't want to explain or hear others asking him his price to make some for them. Those were ultra-rare and he wanted to keep them like that...

Fortunately, the armor alone never made the tyrants spawn. That confirmed that the dungeon only recognized the presence of living beings… With that in mind, would the core send the tyrant if Billy used Golems ahead?

"Come to think of it, I can probably use drones to scout ahead, and they won't make the tyrants spawn," Billy thought while rubbing his chin.

Billy had to use some extra mana for that, but he had more than enough to spare. Thanks to the power-up he got during Time Skip, he was able to restore a lot more mana on his body. He was right now filling the tenth reservoir, and he wasn't bothered by the focus that he had to keep. If anything, it got easier to control all that mana.

"You are up to something weird again…" Lucyna said while she watched Billy making the drones using Mana Constructs just to be safe with his theory. "Are they… Drones?"

"That is right, I will scout ahead with them, and I am pretty sure that they won't make tyrants spawn ahead of us," Billy replied.

"Now I understand why some people fear technology back on Earth… I am losing one of my functions here thanks to machines," Icarus said.

Billy ignored the complaints, and Icarus only said his once since he knew that they had to save as much time as possible. Besides, he would save some mana, so he was gaining from that as well. In any case, the paths in a dungeon only split up into three bifurcations, so Billy just needed three of them. Since he would have to fight while he controls them, Billy decides to give them some wheels as well. It would be easier to control them on the ground as well.

After he sent the drones to scout ahead, Icarus approached to cover his back while Billy controlled the drones using the mirrors that he installed on them. It didn't take long for some tyrants to show up, but as much as that made Icarus frown, Billy killed them faster with his spears of mana.

Billy's plan to scout ahead with the drones was showing some good results. Even though their moving speed was pretty high, the drones could find the right path before they could be reached.

"They are getting tougher…" Lucyna said.

Billy decided to check that and confirmed that it was true. It was something that he already knew, dungeon monsters not only increased in number, but they also increased in power, and Billy couldn't help but frown since their growth was beyond anything that Billy had seen until now. If things continue at that rate, all of them will reach level eight hundred on the last floor… fighting like seven or eight of those creatures at level eight hundred will be difficult, even for the current Billy.

"Well, if they are getting stronger, we just have to get even stronger than them," Billy declared.

"Of all things that you could have said… I thought that you were smarter than that, but I suppose you have a point," Meryl said.

Everyone knew that the manipulator had trained in that dungeon for who knows how long, and they wouldn't have had any chances of defeating them without enduring the same trials. Fortunately, the group had a few things that the manipulator didn't have. The first was their numbers, and the second was their teamwork.

After they finished their break, they began to move again. This time, Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl's tension increased a bit since they were more serious. They always chatted a little between the battles, but now they were completely focused. Billy knew that they were thinking of how to use their powers more effectively in that situation. However, the answer was pretty obvious… Meryl just had to use her powers. Still, for whatever reason, she didn't do it until now, and the others never asked why.

"I know what you are all thinking, but we shouldn't rely on my power, even more so on a dungeon," Meryl said. "I don't think this changes much if I reveal it. However, my powers can raiser skeletons and zombies. Skeletons usually have half of the strength of their catalysts, so they would only take space here. As for the zombies… well, decay. You don't want a decaying walking corpse nearby in a place where the ventilation is precarious."

"I really don't care in one way or the other. Just focus on covering the back, and we will be fine," Billy said.

Billy was fighting more monsters, so the others had some leisure to decide on what they should do. Still, his attitude bothered Meryl. Creating corpses inside a dungeon wasn't something that I liked, but her options weren't only those. In the end, Meryl made some zombies using the corpses of the tyrants. Still, when the next enemies showed up, she made the zombies explode, making the new tyrants be bombarded by hundreds of bones.
