Chapter 621 [Bonus chapter] Limited Foresight (3)

"Hey, Billy, explain to me how it is fair that every time you mess things up with your wives I end up getting screwed as well?" Alexander asked when he came to pay a visit with Larah. "I am a bit pissed, so I need to hear a good explanation for this."

"The world we live in isn't fair, those who are just sometimes also pay for the mistakes of the sinners," Billy replied. "Also, you could have gone with them, your daughter is fairly calm compared to her parents and she likes my kids as well."

"You are always trying to come up with a snarky remark, aren't you?" Alexander asked.

"That is as obvious just like the sky is blue," Billy replied.

"I give up, it is useless to argue with you…" Alexander said and then sighed. "Putting that aside, can you make some heavier weights for me?"

"I have yet to reach the max output of the weights… I barely even reached the half," Billy said and then frowned. "Are you using them with Enhanced Body?"

"Yeah, I imagined you would realize that sooner or later, so there is no point in hiding it," Alexander replied.

"While that makes the skill improve faster, you shouldn't be so eager to make that happen since it will put one hell of a strain on your body," Billy said. "I used it for five minutes and had to deal with muscle pains for three days, even though I healed myself all the time."

"Ah, come to think of it, you said you marched the dragon strikes with your own," Alexander said. "That explains how. If you had to that much power, I suppose I won't have to hurry up to catch you. You aren't the monster that sometimes you look to be."

It seemed that Alexander still was chasing Billy to become the best spearman of their tribe. Usually, that was a worthy goal to have, and Billy wouldn't mind it since it was better than just training daily with no goal in mind. The problem was the fact that Billy's strength was increasing every day because he was using other methods to get stronger aside from training and fighting. Despite his actions, Billy truly respected Alexander for trying to keep up with him. Still, now that felt troublesome since it made him feel like he wasn't respecting his actions anymore. He was only considering the maker as his opponent, and he was doing everything he was doing with that in mind… it wasn't fair for his best friend.

"Don't chase the shadow of someone else… just focus on outdoing the version of yourself of yesterday," Billy said.

"I already do that much on a daily basis, but defeating you, or at least the idea of defeating you makes me take some extra steps on my training regimen," Alexander said. "Thanks to that, I can surpass my limits pretty much every day."

That was truly admirable. That was a feeling that Billy only had now and then… in any case, that gave Billy one idea as well. To make sure that his friends would have the chance to keep up with him, he would make them some magic items that would have the same effects of Mana Magnetism and those also would use that same mana to give them the experience to make them level up. With all the skills he had now, he could do that much.

"I suppose some rings with that effect will do… come to think of it, I need to use my skill points as well," Billy thought.

Billy couldn't waste time and decided to check the list again. Since he had 1100 thousand skill points, he confirmed that he couldn't buy anything more expensive than one thousand points, so his options were the same as before.

Experience Control: 1000 skill points.

Dream Manipulation: 1000 skill points.

Speed Mode: 1000 skill points.

Contract: 1000 skill points.

Summon Skeleton: 1000 skill points.

Emotional Control: 1000 skill points.

Transmutation: 1000 skill points.

Avatar Creation: 1000 skill points.

Damage Control: 1000 skill points.

Limited Foresight: 1000 skill points.

Fear Manipulation: 1000 skill points.

Life Control: 1000 skill points.

Billy saw himself in a bind yet again. It was hard to choose between those skills. Regardless since he had the magic weapons, he used the blood of Icarus, Lucyna and Meryl. He didn't need Speed Mode and Summon Skeleton. After a while, he saw himself wondering if he should pick Dream Manipulation, Life Control, or Limited Foresight. Since he had some good reflexes, he avoided the dragons Mana Cannon that could have evaporated an entire army in a few seconds. Still, it wasn't a good idea to always rely on his reflexes. There would be people and monsters faster than him in that world, even if they weren't large in number. Thanks to that, he was really thinking of getting Limited Foresight. That being said, Life Control could also solve the problem of sudden but powerful attacks…

"Dream Manipulation can also help with my training and to prevent monsters from waking up while I absorb their experience…" Billy thought and then sighed.

In the end, Billy decided to go by learning Limited Foresight. He won't be able to see the future ahead too much, but it will be enough for him to avoid the worst-case scenario if he uses it alongside the Light Speed Sword.

Limited Foresight

It grants you the power to see the future ahead. You can see the future several seconds ahead based on the level of your skill. Beware that the future might change based on your actions. Even a single thought can change it.

Cost: 500 mana per second.

The cost was stupidly high, but at least with aside from his movements, Billy will have the chance to see the future up to a limit as fast as he wanted. He was already planning to turn that skill into a magic item to see if he could improve it as well.
