Chapter 583 Tyrant’s Dungeon (7)

Chapter 583 Tyrant's Dungeon (7)

The group got lucky and then found the entrance to the fifth floor after just five hours, but then another problem arrived. The tyrants began to spawn in groups of three. Now pretty much every one of them had to participate in all fights. As if that wasn't troublesome enough, Billy realized that the corridors were getting larger, so that pattern would keep increasing…

"You sure have a lot of mana," Meryl said. "I heard that that the maker was a mage and that he fought the other three for four days without running out of mana, but I guess he didn't use as many spells as you."

"I see, so he is a mage…" Billy said and then rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Billy got Magic Absorption to deal with that, but he doubted that it would be that useful against someone that can solo a dungeon of fire dragons. And yet, Billy never found any skill like that in the skill shop. It was clearly a high-tier one.

Since the others had to manage their mana usage, Billy began to fight more often and use mana as well. He was fine with that since he was recovering more mana than he used and because his skills were leveling up like crazy. Still, they were wasting a lot more time now since the number of enemies had increased. Without any other choice, Billy had to use one of the cards that he had been hiding: Mana Constructs.

Billy summoned a pair of double-headed spears and then made them spin toward the head of the two monsters ahead of him. Their spinning speed was so powerful that when the tyrants tried to block them with their arms, they were cut off, and soon they lost their heads as well.

"A lot of their durability was lost, but this isn't so bad…" Billy thought. "I will deal with the tyrants that will appear in front of us. You guys can take turns dealing with the ones that will appear behind."

Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl couldn't help but be astonished. Billy just showed up another crazy skill… one that apparently made him impossible to disarm. They knew the skills that he had, but it was hard to understand how they worked or how it was possible to use them just by using his descriptions. Nevertheless, Icarus and Lucyna knew that Billy was ahead of them, even without using the other innate skills that he obtained. Still, only now did Meryl understand why she had the feeling that Billy was dangerous. His similarity to the maker was just too uncanny…

Meryl also had heard that the maker was quite the hard worker and he had a family of his own even before the wars, but he changed… it was impossible to confirm that, but she had guessed that he had lost his family and turned to the dark side… he was the one who started the last war, after all.

In any case, thanks to Billy's help, the next battles got considerably easier since the other three didn't have to worry about being surrounded. Billy wasn't the type to make mistakes or get carried away, so he never failed in doing what he said he would. Thanks to that, despite the spike in difficulty, they found the sixth level after seven hours.

"One full day has already passed, and we are already even halfway through the dungeon," Icarus said and then sighed since they stopped to rest again.

Billy knew that they hadn't even completed one-fourth of the dungeon, but he didn't say that because he was also annoyed at that fact. He checked things at his home now and then using the mirror that was connected to Blitz's eyes, so he could say that everything was fine. Still, he could see his kids playing, and they looked a bit down. As for his wives, they seemed a bit worried whenever they showed up in the garden.

Billy wondered if he could communicate with them somehow, but using magic aside from Telekinesis at that distance was almost impossible. Telekinesis wasn't a power that he had shown them yet, so he couldn't use it. Still, since it was midnight, Billy used that skill to write a message on the ground of the garden. Kate gets angry after that, but it is the only way. 'I am fine, but I will return later.' That was the only thing that Billy could write.

"Are you checking your home?" Meryl asked. "Can you check my base?"

"Sure, why not?" Billy replied.

There was no point in hiding that Billy had his eyes on her base to notice any changes or even attack from the enemies. So, he picked another mirror and then showed her how things were there. There was nothing to see… it was as dark as hell, after all. Just to be safe, Billy only showed the locations of a few lenses in case Meryl tried to find and destroy them. It would be great if the mirror had a record and fast-forward option. That way, Billy wouldn't have to check her base so often… but he would need to wait for a while to reach that level of control in magic.

"You know, for a while, I had the feeling that something was following us…" Icarus said.

Billy flinched when he heard that, but no one noticed since all of them just looked behind. Meryl and Lucyna didn't notice anything, but they knew that Icarus had some instinct for that kind of thing.

"I am going to check it real quick," Icarus said.

In the end, Icarus returned after a couple of seconds, frowning. It was clear that he didn't find anything, but he wasn't convinced. As for what it was following them, it was Billy's armor that he was controlling via Telekinesis, and he made it disappear when Icarus said that.

"I haven't found any footsteps aside from ours, but…" Icarus said. "Can you sense anything, Billy?"

"Nothing on this floor aside from the monsters that you just made spawn behind us," Billy replied.
