  When the summoner recovered, he made sure not to use his abilities right at that moment. Instead of that, he just charged normally and then made his body lighter to increase his speed suddenly. At the same time, he made Billy's lower body get heavier and then disappear. It was a simple trick to obtain an advantage and to put Billy at disadvantage as well and it worked more than a little bit.

  Billy tried to turn around since he knew the attack would come from there, but the weight on his legs prevented him from doing so. Even though the enemy didn't know how Destructive Aura worked, he already came up with a plan to counter it. It was also pretty annoying that he could make some body parts heavier… Billy always thought that gravity spells would only work in areas of effect.

  In any case, Billy got hit on his right side, but the damage wasn't so bad since he used Support Endurance. However, when he turned around, the enemy was no longer there, and he got hit on the side of his left leg, which made the bones crack. Thanks to the gravity, the pain increased many times. Still, Billy resisted since he had used Regen many times before to counter those sudden bursts of damage. Still, things wouldn't improve, unless he comes up with a solution to that problem, but the enemy wouldn't give him time……

  Without much of a choice, Billy used Niffelheim and then froze the area around him. He also heard the sound of the enemy slipping on the ice since he was moving too fast and his body was top light. The effects of gravity on him decreased, and the summoner used a blast of wind to move away from Billy.

  Instead of attacking, Billy opened the skill shop as fast as possible while he was pretending to heal himself and then bought Gravity Resistance. It cost Four hundred skill points, so it painted Billy's chest to do so. Still, the skill decreased the effect and the damage caused by gravity-related attacks by one point per level.

  "I could make the skill level up a lot right now, but I should wait a while longer," Billy thought while he watched the summoner getting up. "Once he thinks that I can't deal with this ability no matter what, I will go all out."

  The summoner could tell that Billy was being cautious, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking. That was the first step… he also couldn't let him think too much since he knew more than a little bit of his reputation. It was better to be extra careful…


  The summoner opened his arms, and then several dark spheres began to appear around him. While they were small, Billy could sense a lot of mana in them. He was finally getting to show his best techniques, and while that was a sign that he was being cornered, it was also the sign that Billy had to be extra careful.

  Suddenly, the summoner fired those, and Billy jumped to the side to dodge them. After he dodged those, the summoner also charged and landed a dropkick on Billy's face… or so he had planned. Billy blocked with his spear. The gravity around him increased again, and then he felt the dark spheres returning.

  Once again, Billy used Niffelheim to cause some damage and slow down the summoner, but this time, he didn't move, so he didn't slip or fall. Instead of that, he started to bombard Billy with a torrent of punches. He was planning to let Billy get hit by the spheres no matter what. However, Billy pushed him backward when he used Gungnir. Much to Billy's surprise, the summoner didn't try to evade it. Instead of that, he used his arms to block it, and Billy also felt a large concentration of mana decreasing the power of the attack… To think that gravity could even affect skills like that… Still, Billy wounded the enemy and obtained his chance to move away, and so he did it. However, the dark spheres still hit him and entered his body. When that happened, Billy lost the ability even to blink… He didn't suffer damage, nor did his body get heavier, but he was unable to move.

  The skill Gravity Resistance has leveled up.

  The skill Gravity Resistance has leveled up.

  The skill Gravity Resistance has leveled up.

  …


  There was no mistake. That was a gravity-related attack, and yet… Billy couldn't do anything. Although he couldn't move, the enemy still could see the surprise in Billy's eyes. While seeing that, the enemy smirked.

  "The next one will kill you for sure…" The summoner said while he smirked.

  In a hurry, Billy began to level up his Gravity Resistance, and little by little, he felt his body getting a bit lighter. Still, he didn't let the enemy notice that. Meanwhile, the summoner pointed both hands toward him and made a dark sphere much denser than the others appear. Slowly but surely, it was getting as big as Billy, and that attack had the same amount of mana that Billy could carry with him…


  "Wait until the last moment and then go for the skill…" Billy thought while he was sweating cold.

  A single mistake would cost his life, Billy couldn't let that thing touch him no matter what, but in the end, it was the only way to get the opening that he needed. The enemy was wide open right now, but it wasn't the best moment. The best moment would be when he fires the attack…


  When the spell got ready, it began to pull things around, and the same things that touched it, like pebbles and grass, were destroyed down to an atomic level. Only the summoner wasn't being pulled by that. It didn't take long for the enemy to fire it. He only waited for his spirit to get as pumped as possible.

  "DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The summoner shouted.

  Chapter 472 Payback (8) The dark sphere crossed fifty meters in the blink of an eye, but Billy still reacted on time to free himself from the control of gravity and then used Flash to the side. The summoner opened his eyes widely when that happened, and then his time to get terrorized finally came when Billy charged toward him.

  The summoner used both of his arms and the remaining mana to block the attack while he jumped away to evade the attack, but in the end, he didn’t have much time to use much mana. Billy got close instantly and then swung his spear, and when it got close to the enemy’s neck, he used Gungnir.

  The beam of the energy and the spear pierced the hands of the summoner and easily reached his neck. It goes without saying that it passed through him and destroyed half of his neck. When the enemy fell to the ground and started to agonize, Billy felt troubled again, the same way when he killed Jeannette. He had killed a lot of people in that world, but for some reason, killing earthlings was more than a bit bothersome for his feelings.

  You obtained 3.250.000 experience points.

  The skill Gungnir obtained 100.000 points.

  The skill Destructive Aura obtained 100.000 points.

  The skill Spearmanship obtained 100.000 points.

  …
You received the skill Beastly Summoning.

  You received the skill Absolute Summoning Link.

  Beastly Summoning; it grants you the power to create monsters and summon them from your mind. The power, level, skills, and status of the monsters will determine the cost of mana of the summoning.

  Absolute Summoning Link: it grants you the power to add the power, the skills, and parameters of a monster summoned by you to your own power or to others. The level of the beast will determine the cost of the skill.

  The other monsters summoned by the summoner began to turn into dust when he finally stopped moving. Things got a bit quieter in the capital as well, but it would be better if Billy hurried up and helped the others retreat.

  ”It seems that you did it…” Icarus said after approaching.

  ”Yeah… Now it is your turn,” Billy said, and then he smirked. “With these new powers, I can take you two at the same time.”
The atmosphere changed a bit after Billy said. Lucyna prepared to grab her knives, but Icarus just sighed. At least one of them could understand when Billy was joking.

  ”I don’t have time for chit-chat. I will help the others retreat,” Billy said.

  Billy used Flash and quickly left the area. After that, Lucyna sighed since she thought that Billy was angry due to the recent events. Still, now that he had the powers of two others reincarnated, it was hard to imagine them having a chance in a fight against him.

  ”He is always like that, don’t worry too much about it,” Icarus said. “Still, to think that he beat us to the punch, even though we came here first… it was hard to find opportunities to attack, and our fighting style and skills aren’t good for direct confrontations.”
”Putting that aside, what now?” Lucyna asked. “We don’t know the location of others like us.”
”I suppose we can take it easy and then look for others,” Icarus said. “You and Billy can also move pretty fast, so collecting Intel won’t be hard.”
Lucyna nodded, their group won’t have a clear goal for the time being, but she could live with that. It has been a while since she lived her life without worrying about anything else. In any case, they still were in enemy territory, so they had to be careful. While they want to see how things will play out, they should also help Billy and his friends retreat.

  Regardless, Billy found a lot of destruction in the town. Still, most of it was caused by the summoned monsters that suddenly emerged from underground and destroyed the nearby buildings. The inhabitants of the capital were heading toward the south side while the fight was taking place in the north.

  Although one hour had passed since the start of the fight, the number of Billy’s allies didn’t decrease much… it was only natural given that the people of that state didn’t fight in many years, while Galatea soldiers and the barbarians had tons of experience. Billy found Svan and Beatrice in the northern part of the capital, and they were fighting the enemy soldiers alongside their allies. Billy landed in the area and then used Niffelheim to make the enemy soldiers tremble like leaves.

  ”It is time to retreat,” Billy declared.

  ”Hah, that sounds good to me!” Svan said and then kicked a soldier’s chest and made him knock down several others.

  ”Those with long-ranged weapons, watch our retreat and follow us from close behind!” Beatrice said.

  That was unnecessary since as soon as they crossed the gates, Billy closed it with his magic, the enemies were unable to pass the massive block of earth, and they had the chance to escape without worrying about anything else. The soldiers of the capital tried to chase them by using the other gate. Still, they only found the footsteps of the enemy army for a while, and then they suddenly disappeared. Billy used Earth magic to erase it, so when they finally decided to head south, they already had obtained a large distance over the pursuers.

  Chapter 473 Payback (9)Since the group had to return as soon as possible, they chose the shortest route. At first, they didn’t find any problems, but then the speed of the group began to decrease on the third day since they couldn’t stop to rest in enemy territory. Eventually, the pursuers caught with them and then sent messages to the towns and cities along the way to help. Things were just getting troublesome at such a bad timing…
”Well, I wanted to finish this without killing too many people, but I suppose it can’t be helped…” Billy thought, and then he stepped up to stop the pursuers.

  Billy could only be merciful until his allies weren’t in danger. He couldn’t put them in danger when he could deal with the enemies. In the end, a single lightning bolt did the job… It made him kill dozens of soldiers at the same time, and several others got wounded. The vast majority trembled in fear, wondering about the possibility of becoming the next target.

  Despite that, the pursuers still chased the whole group. Still, they stopped on the fourth day because another army arrived on their territory, and it was being led by Felipe Silvi.

  ”It seems they came to help when they realized that the monsters had been dealt with…” Svan said. “I guess this war is finally over.”
Billy sighed. It wasn’t like he didn’t gain anything in exchange, but he wished that those forced trips could only happen once every five years or something. He wanted to travel without worrying about enemies with his family, after all.

  ”It seems that you have won, well done,” Felipe said. “Our state owes you all a debt that can’t be paid completely.”
Billy felt like sighing. He disliked that kind of atmosphere, but doing that would be disrespectful in front of Felipe’s men. While he had some secrets, he could become a good ally, and Billy also wanted to make him pay that debt.

  ”Father, we should return as soon as possible and give everyone the rest that they deserve,” Beatrice said. “The last few days have been pretty intense and tiresome.”
”Certainly, Let’s do that,” Felipe said while looking at the enemies retreating. “We will talk with them eventually, but that can be done later.”
From what Billy heard, their group lost around three hundred soldiers in that single hour while the enemy lost five times more. They really got the soldiers of the capital with their pants down… In any case, Billy’s job was done, and he wanted to go home. However, the mission only truly ends when they are back in the temple city, and he will finish the mission properly.

  In the end, the trip back lasted for four days, and even though some soldiers were exhausted and wounded, they had already started a party on the same night. The people of the temple city didn’t like the noise a lot, so the barbarians and their usual way of partying were quite troublesome, but they joined them this time. As for Billy… He stayed, at least for the first night.

  While some barbarians were dancing around a campfire with their elbows entranced, Billy was drinking his beer slowly and watching them. He was pretty sure there was a similar type of dance back on Earth… Or perhaps that was just something he saw in a movie, some elves dancing in a tavern.

  ”You are also the type who doesn’t drink much?” Felipe suddenly approached and asked.

  ”… I feel like I will get wild if I drink too much, so I show some restraint,” Billy replied. “Besides, watching people having fun like this isn’t so bad.”
Billy felt like he should never lower his guard, even at home, since he had things that he wanted to take with him to the grave. Recently, his wives had developed a habit of drinking a lot when they go to parties, and they regret it a little when they recall the things that they do after those. While Billy was fine with that, he was a bit harsher with himself. Besides, every night that he drinks too much, it will be a morning hangover that he will have to Skip training. Unless something really serious happens, he doesn’t want to do that.

  ”I see… You are quite diligent for someone who achieved so much at such a young age,” Felipe said.

  ”One shouldn’t think too much about their past, their achievements and their failures… Shouldn’t be ignored, but the present shouldn’t revolve around that,” Billy said.

  ”True enough… I suppose that is the thinking of someone who has young kids to raise,” Felipe said and then took a sip of his own beer. “To raise children properly, one needs to show them the best every single day.”
Billy wished that Felipe cut to the chase. He didn’t want to talk about his personal life so far away from home, and even less so with someone he only sees now and then. Still, that made him wonder about Beatrice’s mother. It probably wasn’t a good idea to ask why he had never heard of her.

  ”A long time ago, a certain woman was born in this world, and she had the power to perform miracles,” Felipe said. “She could make people recover their limbs, recover from mortal diseases and even nullify the deadliest of the poisons. However, that woman began to be hunted by people who had had the same power as her… Her name was Galatea, and she is my ancestor.”
Billy wondered why Felipe decided to talk about that all of a sudden. He already knew most of that, so it was a bit late for that.

  ”Those people that hunted her waged war that destroyed many nations. Still, Galatea avoided war as much as possible,” Felipe said. “Ultimately, she was cornered, and to protect her people, she transferred her powers to a relic that could protect this whole city if the necessity arises. After doing that, she disappeared.”


  Chapter 474 Time (1)”Disappeared? Also, why are you telling me that?” Billy asked. “It is a bit too late considering that the enemy was killed.”
”We don’t have registers, but we know some stories and they mention that more than a few of those people that hunted my ancestor appear now and then,” Felipe replied. “I believe that the woman you defeated and this summoner were the same as those that hunted her, others like them will show eventually and I am not sure if we will be able to keep using the relic to protect the temple city. I just wanted to let you know because this might involve you again in the future.”
That was obvious, but what Felipe didn’t know was that Billy would rather steal the relic instead of letting it fall into someone else’s hands. Considering the powers of this Galatea, such a relic probably could grant near immortality for someone who has enough mana to use it.

  ”When she disappeared, the people who followed her decided to build the temple and this city in her honor, hoping that she would return one day, but she never did it,” Felipe added.

  Billy wasn’t so sure of that. There was a chance that her descendants created a religion in her name in order to obtain power for themselves since they didn’t inherit her powers. In any case, the surname probably was the proof that Felipe and Beatrice were descendants of a reincarnated earthling. Still, aside from that, they didn’t look particularly different from the people of that world. Come to think of it, Billy’s kids were cute and sturdy, but nothing else. Not like they needed any more than that to be special to him.

  ”This is one of the relics that we have inherited from our ancestors. Considering your skills, it isn’t much, but I think it will be useful to you,” Felipe said and then passed to Billy and the amulet.

  Magic Defense Ring

  It grants you the power to nullify damage received at the cost of your mana. All damage will be nullified as long as you have.

  Durability: 20/20

  ”Thanks, this will be useful,” Billy said.

  ”Once we finish the negotiating with Cegia state, we will send some monetary remuneration as well,” Felipe said and then offered a handshake. “Thank you for your help, it isn’t an exaggeration to say that you saved us.”
”I was helping some friends, that is all,” Billy said and then accepted the handshake.

  After that, Felipe left the area, and then Billy watched the party for a while longer. Around three in the morning, the barbarians began to fall asleep right where they were since they had traveled nonstop for several days, but some tough morons endured until morning. Svan was one of them. Billy had finished his preparations, and he was about to depart when he met him, waving his hand toward him. Billy did the same, and then Svan fell to the ground and began to snore. He was truly something else.

  At the entrance of the temple city, Billy also found Beatrice working. Too many people were partying, and few people were working, so she decided to help with the security. In the end, she silently saluted, and Billy did the same while smiling. He saw her blushing a little in the corner of his vision, but it was probably his imagination.

  After using Flash a few times, Billy stopped because he felt two presences ahead, and it didn’t take long for him to find the two morons. Icarus and Lucyna were waiting for him.

  ”Let’s return together,” Icarus said. “Lucy wanted to go sightseeing in these parts for a few days and we figured out you would return today as well.”
”… We can’t be seen together and I will meet with my friends today,” Billy said after a long sigh. “We can only return together until noon.”
The other two nodded, and Billy wondered why they did that since they wouldn’t have time to talk. Still, with his acceleration, Icarus could land on the same spot they stopped.

  ”You are leaving quite the marks on the ground, Billy…” Icarus said when they stopped once when they were crossing a grove. “I thought that skill of yours was more precise and delicate.”
”I am wearing weights, that is why my steps leave deep marks,” Billy said and then showed the weights on his wrists and ankles.

  ”That kind of training actually works?” Icarus frowned.

  ”More and more I am starting to see myself as a slacker…” Lucyna said.

  ”How does it work?” Icarus asked. “Can you make some extras and sell them?”
”It depends… How much are you willing to pay?” Billy asked while smirking.

  In the end, Billy gained some diamonds in exchange for the weights that he could make in the blink of an eye. While that would strengthen those two, Billy wasn’t the type who fears competition. Also, he had confidence in his training routine, as if he would lose to those or even let them approach his own progress.

  ”Crap… I put too much mana,” Icarus said.

  ”Me too…” Lucyna said while she was feeling the weight hurting her skin.

  ”Morons…” Billy said and then sighed. “You can’t even control your mana after living in this world for twenty years…”
In the end, they decided to use the weights later. They had to adjust the weights slowly… While Billy wasn’t willing to teach them every single thing, he told them that the basics still were important, and the basic when it comes to mana is Meditation. Regardless, around noon, the group split up, and after a few hours, he began to meet his friends and wives. He knew that they would wait for him with the good news… the enemy was killed, and for the time being, the only threat was the titans that still were sleeping. It seemed that they would have some time for peace, but they couldn’t get lax.
