Chapter 416 The fifth (3)
Billy wanted to learn the other elental creations as well as learn a movent speed ability that was better than Dash. He began his experints once he got ho, but he wasn't making much progress. While Billy was having a hard ti with his training, soone annoying appeared to stop him from concentrating.
"Hey, it has been a while," Icarus said.
"I wonder about that," Billy said and then crossed his arms as he approached the gate of his ho. "I assu you have co to check my impressions on that thing."
"You don't waste ti, truly," Icarus said. "By now, you should have heard so rumors about the other monsters. I decided to check those if they were true and as expected, I didn't have a hard ti finding them. I found two of them, and I can say without a shred of doubt that those states are dood."
"Is that so…" Billy said, imagining two other more of that thing.
"Aren't you going to ask why I didn't try to face them?" Icarus asked.
"I already know the answer, we aren't strong enough to defeat them in a one on one battle," Billy said. "I got lucky and I wasn't alone when I faced that one."
"You certainly wouldn't gain anything by being humble in front of , so it must be true," Icarus said. "A fire titan that summoned monsters that created a massive desert with their presence alone… The others are doing basically the sa thing. Summoning minions to laid waste on cities, town, and nearby villages. Those things didn't even lift a finger until now. Their minions alone are doing all the work, and yet, they can't be stopped. I tried to decrease the number of ice Golems, but it was like trying to make a lake disappear using a single spoon."
"Ice Golems… I guess the others are also elental titans," Billy said. "Did you find any ntions of them in other parts of this world? I find it hard to believe that they just appeared out of nowhere."
"I was thinking the sa thing, they have the power of dungeon cores, and they have been nurturing that power for a while as they remained hidden," Icarus said. "Since they are that kind of creature, they will sleep again after changing the environnt around them to the way it suits them… At least I hope that is the case. I will keep an eye on them just in case and inform you if sothing happens."
It would be weirdly convenient if that were to happen. However, after thinking for a while, Billy realized that the summoned monsters were made of mana. What if the titans could absorb them back in exchange for power? That would explain why they were asleep… In any case, if they kept growing stronger, things would get out of hand, and Billy was pretty sure that they won't keep sleeping for hundreds of years before their next rampage.
"I think I am getting closer to the next guy like us," Icarus declared. "At this point in ti, it is obvious that they are an Assassin type of guy considering their good hiding skills."
Based on what he knew, the skills didn't have anything related to the personality of their users. So, Billy couldn't assu that the next reincarnated was soone dangerous. Still, considering that they killed several families and took their money, it was hard to say if they weren't dangerous either. The next guy was becoming a problem in a very different way than the summoner and Jeannette.
"What about the summoner?" Billy asked.
"I didn't notice anything yet, hopefully, he will get unlucky and one of the titans will target him," Icarus said. "I thought I said that, I don't want the innocent people of his territory get engulfed in a battle of that scale. Regardless, until sothing of that level appears in his territory, he will keep sharpening his Fangs for a while longer."
Billy's head began to hurt… He had three unsolved problems roaming free in that world. The titans, the summoner, and the unknown reincarnated. The Titans won't be a problem if Icarus guess was correct, but Billy wouldn't sleep soundly knowing that there are such creatures alive in that world. Who knows for long their actions will be limited to the region they belong to? The fact that the summoner wasn't doing anything was also troubleso. However, after thinking for a while, Billy realized that he would learn sooner or later about those creatures. Unless he is batshit crazy, he will be more careful before expending too many resources in a war of invasion. As for the last problem…
"Your magic senses must suck, but you at least have Appraisal, right?" Billy asked. "Is truly hard finding soone with weird skills like us? I would guess that they work most at night, so that would be a good starting point."
"I understand where you are coming from, but I don't even know the precise location of that guy," Icarus said. "Selecting a ti and looking for them is impossible when I don't even know where they are."
If Billy uses his senses alongside his Earth magic, he is pretty certain that he could find the next reincarnated pretty easily, but depending on what type of person they were, they might find Billy as well and recognize him as an enemy based on that alone. It was better to avoid doing harsh things like that.
"I heard that there is an interesting state further south, I was planning to check things there, but my hands are kind of full with my current tasks," Icarus said. "Can you help with that?"
"How can I help?" Billy asked. "While we are working together, sowhat, I don't have to do anything for free… But I suppose I should pay for the information I just got. You can use these if you want."
Billy passed so pills to Icarus.
