Chapter 553 Morons (1)
Since his armor was too big, it seemed that Billy would have to enter while flying. That posed a problem since, in a cave, the sound of the armor would be easier to notice it. Besides, he was bound to run into guards there. So, he considered other options, but not for long.
While Billy was thinking about that, he approached the cave but then stopped when he heard some footsteps coming from it, thanks to his Enhanced Hearing. As if that wasn't enough, he also heard some whispers coming from an annoyingly familiar voice.
"They finally let us go, huh," Icarus said. "They sure were cautious."
"In any case, they confirmed that we aren't assassins sent by their enemies, so things end up well," Lucyna said. "We also learned that there are some peaceful tribes here, so I consider this a win."
"I damaged the communication device because I messed up in the battle, so we will have to explain a lot to Billy," Icarus said. "I already have shivers just by thinking at his anger. This situation started in a pretty stupid way."
What Icarus was feeling were shivers because of Billy's current bloodlust. Those retards made him waste time because… He didn't even want to think about it. Right now, he only wanted to use the arm of his armor and crush that annoying skull in front of him. Unfortunately, he decided to do that, and those two left the cave in a hurry.
After letting a long sigh, Billy considered what he should do now. Might as well make something out of that trip… Still, now that he knew that the invisible guys weren't evil, Billy was pretty sure that no one would check that area. There was a chance that they told Icarus and Lucyna what had caused that earthquake, but Billy wouldn't bet everything on that.
"I suppose I will just fly around as fast as possible and look for camped, villages and towns," Billy thought.
They still had no idea how big that continent was, so Billy would have to keep things slowly. At least when it comes to real progress.
Despite those thoughts, Billy found a lot more camps and villages this time, even in the middle of the night. The cause of that was the fact that he was flying fast and because he had his magic telescope that could sbow him the undulations of mana left by monsters and demi-humans.
Still, in the end, Billy only saw more of the same. Demi-humans killing one another like it was the greatest sport in the world, and their lands weren't big enough for them. It was really disappointing for Billy to witness that. Their bodies improved to endure the harsh conditions of that continent and the beasts that could be found there, they even obtained special traits and skills, and the best they could was to kill each other.
While Billy was signing. He noticed that the western sky was getting red as if the sun was rising. That was a bit too soon for that, I thought… Once he used this magic telescope to check things, he saw the mana in the environment vibrating.
"I guess some demi humans that can use elemental magic are destroying the area around there…" Billy thought. "I doubt that I will find anything worth noticing there, but I can't ignore it and just assume things."
Billy flew in that direction, and in the end, he was glad that he did that. Not because of the sight, since he could only see an endless sea of flames decimating everything around, but because it wasn't the actions of just some demi-humans, but a proper army of them.
Putting fire on everything, Billy could see some salamanders. Those creatures looked like oversized lizards that could spit fire that could melt rocks. Riding on them, Billy also sees some demi-humans. At first, they looked like the others, who were a bit more wild since they had physical features more monster-like than an animal like because of their horns and bat-like wings. Still, their eyes were blood red, and they also were emitting a weird red aura.

Billy frowned when he saw the status of the rider… It has been a while since he saw something like a negative effect in action. Still, that one boosted the rider's parameters by forty percent. That was just ludicrous.
The salamanders and the riders had meticulously surrounded a village of demi-humans that looked a lot like cheetahs… At least the sides and the back of their bodies. Even their heads looked like that… Thanks to that, some of them tried to escape while running on four legs, and their speed wasn't something to laugh at. Each of their steps could be compared to Flash, and yet, against the encirclement, they couldn't do a single thing.
In the end, Billy only saw the last part of the battle. Still, it had been enough to confirm that a village of two thousand pretty strong demi-humans had been killed in a matter of minutes without being able to show any resistance. The attackers deserved Billy's caution, so he began to chase them when they retreated.
