Chapter 564 Observing (4)

That was a pretty dangerous skill… any skill that could manipulate time in any form was supposed to be that insane, actually. In any case, with that one, Icarus could probably make people grow older faster. While there were probably more efficient ways to kill someone with mana, it still was pretty scary. Billy made a mental note not to let him touch him under any circumstances, even if the people of that world could live for longer. After all, Anna was sixty, and she never had any white hair.

Regardless, it seemed that those who had more tendency to work with others ended up getting powers that helped them during and after battles. Lucyna could steal anything and use those valuable things to enhance herself, and she also could cause damage with her powers. Icarus more or less had the same traits. As for Billy, his powers could only be useful in battle if he had a shit ton of mana.

"Once you return to that continent, you should put those well hidden and on places that show the routes that the enemy uses," Billy said. "I will monitor things from here, and I will inform you when you should ambush them. You won't have to keep watching them all the time anymore."

"I see, so you will be the computer guy," Icarus said.

"The hell are you talking about?" Billy asked.

"You know, the guy that helps the heroes behind the computer during their missions," Icarus replied. "You will be the brain, and we will be the brawl."

"... I don't even know what to say," Billy said after a long sigh. "I don't do well talking with people that have rainbows for brain cells. You must have it hard."

"You get used to it," Lucyna said after shrugging. "Putting that aside, for how much can you sell me a more powerful core. I want to test the limit of powers limit, but I will need another source of mana."

"You don't have more mana, then you are already testing the limits of your powers…" Billy replied while frowning. "I have some spares that I don't need anymore, and I loaded with money since I am the batman of the fantasy world."

"Now you are just bragging," Icarus said. "Do you have some fancy suits as well created by the power of money?"

"Who knows?" Billy said and then shrugged.

Although he was stupid, even Icarus could be sharp now and then. Nevertheless, he gave them the cores that could restore them around five hundred points of mana per hour. It was more than they had at the max of their pool, so it certainly would make them more useful. Billy would need their help while he thinks of how he should approach the most powerful enemy of that territory after all.

After the meeting, Billy immediately left to check things on the western side of the demi-humans continent. After a couple of hours, he began to install the surveillance lenses around the necromancer's base. However, they didn't do much aside from hunting inside that dungeon, and since they weren't crushing the smaller tribes, there weren't many chances to decrease their forces.

"Not like I have a reason to do that in the first place," Billy thought. "The necromancer might have gotten on our way to obtain the power of one of the titans, but aside from that, they didn't do much for them to be considered enemies."

Considering that the necromancer was also treating other demi-humans fairly, Billy had even less reason to pick a fight with him. So, the real problem was the territory on the central part of that continent, and Billy had yet to think of a real plan to deal with the leader of that place. Anything magic related couldn't be used to approach or watch things there, so Billy was really in a bind.

"I am pretty sure that the third enemy defensive field affects everything in a large area around its territory and completely covers the atmosphere, so sending a monster to watch things from above won't work either," Billy thought. "I guess I will have to use a magic drone… And make it leave the planet alongside a powerful magic lens."

Once Billy finished installing everything, he returned home. Along the way, he wondered if he was being too cautious because of that attack that he suffered or if he was just following his instincts. Although he was usually more cautious when the enemies were people like him, it was obvious that he was acting a bit out of the norm. Was it because he had a family of his own, and he wanted to protect them no matter what? That certainly was the major factor, but it wasn't all.

"I won't say that I came to this world for some great reason, but I have a feeling that I am approaching the biggest turning point of my life here," Billy thought. "That is why I can't afford to make any mistakes."

Once he finds a way to keep an eye on the third faction, Billy wants to resume his old training routine and speed up things a bit. He was confident that he could take the necromancer and the guy who was manipulating those demi-humans and salamanders. Still, his confidence wasn't the same when the third faction was considered. Until now, Billy thought that he was the reincarnated individual that worked the hardest, but he had a feeling that it wasn't the same anymore.

Billy trained hard to obtain the power to protect his peaceful life, but what if someone like him but a lot more greedy, had chosen a different path like real world domination… It was quite weird that Billy was so certain "that was the goal of the third guy when he had yet to see them… It was almost like a connection.

"... let's just focus on what I can do instead of worrying endlessly," Billy thought.
