Chapter 697 Help (2)

“We were going to help anyway by going to other places, but if you want us to come with you, that is fine,” Samara said.

“So, are you going to avoid teaching others again?” Kate asked.

“Not exactly, but I am not going to be that active as the rest of you,” Billy replied. “I have too many things to do…”

“I suppose that is fine… if you were to teach every day, too many people would want to draw your attention, and that would be annoying,” Kate said while smirking.

“When did I become so popular?” Billy asked.

In any case, before moving to their next destination, Billy had to talk with the people he knew about, which was the best place to start. Jean mentioned that moving around the borders of the continent would help. Still, most of their neighbors had people that studied under his friends and knew most of the basic techniques. Billy wanted to start with the barbarians and then help them learn skills like Brute Strength and Toughness, but doing that would make others feel like he was favoring his friends.

“That is one of the reasons that I hate politics…” Billy said and then sighed.

“Well, it isn’t like you will lose anything by focusing on your friends. First, most people know what you can do and will be trying to have a good relationship,” Jean said. “However, to make things easier to happen in the future, you have to show them that they can count on you, and you will help them as much as you do with your friends.”

“I believe this kind of problem falls into the politics category… Anyway, where should I go first?” Billy asked. “North or South?”

“During the attacks, the tribes of the Monaris state suffered a lot, but the situation improved when Lily helped them. Apparently, they also treated her well,” Jean said. “They have been a group of people that disliked strangers, but I suppose this is a good chance to make them become real allies.”

“I see. Strike while the iron is hot…” Billy said. “I am not very good at handling difficult individuals, but the others can probably do that in my place. So, we will go to the small Grenciti state and help them a little since some of their students came from there and then head to Monaris state. I will also make sure to study their techniques as well.”

“You defeated someone who can even summon dragons, and you want to become even stronger?” Jean said. “There are other enemies out there, so we need to prepare. Besides, I didn’t do it by myself. So, I am lacking in some aspects.”

“Well, I suppose as long as everyone is willing to keep improving, they will keep improving,” Jean said. “I will be waiting here for good news.”

Before doing anything else, Billy passed on his old home and asked his parents and grandmother if they wanted to join them. While they could move fast thanks to Flash, splitting wouldn’t help much since they would have too much in their hands.

“Sure, why not if everyone is going?” Drew asked. “What about Edward, Nikola, Lucy, and Leo? They don’t have many chances to travel around like this, and I am sure that they can learn a lot.”

“The more, the merrier,” Billy said. “I will have to upgrade berser-car, though,” Billy said.

“Berser… what?” Drew frowned.

Billy laughed a little, which made his father frown even more. In any case, Billy assumed that Lucy and Leo would refuse since they were too serious, but they accepted the offer. Naturally, since Edward was a dotting grandfather, he wouldn’t lose the chance to travel and spend some time with his grandkids. Still, all of them would return after seeing things in Monaris state, and the trip around the continent would be too long for them otherwise.

*Speaking of which, what happened to your armor?” Edward asked, which made Billy flinch. “Did it break during the fight? I hope that it protected you more than a little bit.”

“It sure did. It still helps me until now,” Billy said. “Sorry for letting that happen.”

“It is fine, the armor was old, and it surprised me that it lasted for so long considering that you use it on dungeons all the time,” Edward said. “Regardless… it seems that you caught the eye of someone really troublesome. A guy from three thousand years ago… Can you beat him?”

“That is a difficult question. Right now, he doesn’t have a body, so he can’t be killed,” Billy replied. “When he finds a suitable body, he will be able to use many abilities that he cultivated for thousands of years… it will be hard if anything.”

“That goes without saying, but protect your family no matter what and do your best to survive,” Edward said. “Protecting them but dying doing so would be the same as letting half of them die with you…”

“Roger that,” Billy said. “I am already coming up with countermeasures for the worst-case scenario. Anyway, we will pass here to pick everyone up in one week.”

Billy had one week to try to make as much progress as possible with his other project. Still, it was hard to imagine him even getting the relics’ powers. That was too mentally taxing, after all. Still, as soon as he got home, he tried to absorb the effects of the next weapon. Alongside the power to replicate himself, Billy also unlocked some other memories. Aside from seeing the other generations of reincarnated individuals killing each other, he also saw one where Uvish used the last generation as zombies, and then they fought against a massive army of giants armed with clubs… they were red, blue, and yellow… and they weren’t demi-humans. They clearly belonged to a species from another world. Billy confirmed when he saw a flying castle in the sky, and from there, hundreds of those creatures were coming from…
