Chapter 431 Reasons (9)
"Can you deal with them while I go to that town and deal with their warehouse?" Billy asked.
"I can, but I am not used to fighting that many enemies directly, I won\'t have finished by the time you return," Lucyna replied.
"I will return as soon as possible and Icarus will come as soon as he finishes his job," Billy said and then disappeared.
While using Flash, Billy reached the town in the blink of an eye, and the entire place was wide and awake. Something was off. With Icarus\'s speed, he shouldn\'t have messed up. In any case, when Billy was about to look for the warehouse, Icarus showed up, and he looked a bit annoyed.
"You know, what is the point of giving me a job and then causing problems to me?" Icarus asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Billy asked.
"Your lightning bolts made the guards here notice that something was off inside the dungeon…" Icarus said.
"Ah… My bad. The flashes of light are visible from here, huh," Billy said and then forced a smile. "I will look for the place that they store the cores, you can rest if you want, I will solve this mess."
"I will finish what I started," Icarus said and then left.
In the end, Billy was the one who made a mess out of things, he couldn\'t complain, and Icarus had a point with his anger. In any case, he used Earth magic to check the town, and he quickly found the cores since they still had some of their mana left. He also found that the place was heavily guarded. He could knock the guards out, but it would be better if no one noticed that the cores had disappeared.
"I can\'t transport those while we work, so I guess I will just hide them underground," Billy thought while he was making a tunnel toward the warehouse.
While imagining that he would recover some extra mana by helping Lucyna, Billy didn\'t hold back and focused on speed while making the tunnel. After just five minutes, he reached the warehouse from below, and he increased the area since he would hide the cores there. The number of boxes filled with those was pretty high, so it seemed that they stored cores of several weeks in there… they would need some time to take all of that, and they didn\'t have it right now. Without any other choice, Billy sped up things by using Telekinesis, and then after ten minutes, he sealed the hole and left.
Back at the place where Billy had left Lucyna, he found her and Icarus fighting the army. It was more like a slow massacre instead of a fight. Those two could be pretty fast, and the soldiers and guards couldn\'t do much. Some of them tried to escape, but they only became easy targets for them.
To make things end faster, Billy snipes the guards with stone cannons. Thanks to that and the darkness of the night, many of the enemies died without knowing that they attacked them or even realizing that they died. Thanks to that, Lucyna got pissed. They deserved to suffer more from her perspective. Fortunately, she was smart enough to realize that they couldn\'t waste time satisfying her bloodthirstiness.
"Did you finish things properly there?" Icarus asked when the last enemy fell.
"The ores are below the warehouse, I sealed the place with earth magic, but they probably won\'t look for it underground since I didn\'t leave any traces behind," Billy said. "We can come back for them later."
"I suppose we can\'t work while carrying luggage… are you fine with that, Lucyna?" Icarus asked.
"Yes…" Lucyna said. "Let\'s get going, we should attack all the three dungeons and towns before sunrise, and then finish everything tomorrow night."
It would be nice if that were possible. Billy had a feeling that things won\'t process that well, though. It was just a feeling, but Billy was almost certain that in some way or the other, things would get nasty. The targets already showed that they weren\'t stupid when they almost made Lucyna fall for an ambush. Regardless, the group headed north toward the next mine that was one hundred fifty kilometers away. Despite that, they reached the place in a couple of minutes.
"Why do you stop so many times along the way, Billy?" Icarus asked.
"Why don\'t you reveal to me your second ability?" Billy asked.
"Why should I?" Icarus asked.
"Why, indeed…" Billy said while frowning.
Even with Hawkeye, Billy\'s eyesight had a limit at night, so it couldn\'t be helped that he had to stop so often. In any case, he couldn\'t imagine a way to deal with that weakness. Improving physical abilities was possible, but Billy couldn\'t imagine that being possible with spells… At least not with his current level.
In any case, the guards in the next dungeon and town weren\'t aware of what Billy and the others did in the previous attack, so they didn\'t have many chances to react when they put their plan into action. The only problem was the fact that the entrance of the next dungeon was in the middle of a three kilometers tall mountain, and there was only one path toward it. Such a path had many torches illuminating the place in order to make sure that the guards would see the approach of everyone.
People with the physical abilities such as Billy, Icarus, and Lucyna, they could choose the rough path and remain stealthy as they approached. Still, in the darkness of the night, a single mistake would make many rocks fall and put the enemies on guard.
"Can you appear right behind them from this distance?" Billy asked.
"Yeah," Lucyna replied.
"In that case, I will cross the path first and once I enter in position, you can come and do the same as before," Billy said. "You can start your job as well, this time I won\'t use lightning bolts."
