Chapter 689 Relics (3)

Once Billy reunited everyone where the dungeon once had been, he explained things about Uvish and his actions. It was clear that he was targetting some sort of immortality while making his powers be cultivated by other people, people like them. Still, they needed to learn more about the whole situation.

“Most likely, he is trying to hide from more powerful enemies, and now he is looking for a body that he can use,” Meryl said. “You said that he could bend space, but you didn’t obtain that power, right?”

“Right… I suppose that is the power some other generation of reincarnated individuals once had,” Billy replied. “I agree with you. Somehow, he fought and won a war against the species of the planet he was sent to, but with his attitude, he isn’t a battle-hardened warrior.”

“Putting such opinions aside, he was someone troublesome, and he planned a lot. That alone makes him an opponent that we need to watch out for,” Meryl said.

“Anyway, did he try to steal your powers?” Lucyna asked. “Zenis was worried about that, right?”

“Yes, I believe he can do that since my innate skill was originally his,” Billy replied. “He didn’t try to use it on me… I have no idea why, but I can guess that it was for the same reason he didn’t try to fight even though I was half dead. He is too cautious for his own good…”



“He is a lot like you, but you don’t hesitate during battles,” Meryl said. “Even when you are against the wall, you find a turnaround… I suppose he is the type that only fights when he is certain of his victory. Anyway, did you obtain any other knowledge after getting the secondary skill?”

“Because they are secondary skills, I didn’t get anything, probably,” Billy replied. “I didn’t get the power of his core either. But I can feel that all the mana that was dispersed and the effects of the core are returning to this place.”

“About the dungeons… you also think that they were created by Uvish?” Meryl asked.

“I think so. Those underwater dungeons appeared so that you could steal the relics without me being able to stop you,” Billy replied. “That was definitely his doing… thanks to that, we learned about the demi-humans continent, and things ended like this.”

“Anyway, we need more intel,” Icarus said. “But using the relics might cause more problems and splitting them among us might not give us the chance to learn everything.”

“Nah, it is fine,” Billy said. “I owe you guys for fighting with my family and friends and not letting any of them die, so I will let you choose one of them for yourselves,” Billy declared.

The surprise in their faces was as clear as the sky. They thought that the real Billy would never be that nice to them. Billy wondered if most people had such a bad opinion of him, and while he wasn’t that interested in it, it was a bit annoying.

“Maybe I should retreat my statement,” Billy said. “Anyway, I don’t need the scythe, the ax, and the staff, so you can use them however you want. I already have the skills and the relics to compensate for those.”

“You shouldn’t have said that. Now it looks like you are giving away the things that you don’t need,” Icarus said. “Well, you are the MVP of this fight, so it is your right to decide that. In any case, letting them remain as relics should be more useful, right? With the infinity durability.”

“Indeed… stealing a relic should be easier than killing us, but maybe we will find situations where we will have to swap them,” Meryl said after she nodded. “We should use our free time to prepare for the next problems… threats that will come from outside of this planet… that sounds ridiculous no matter how many times I say this to myself.”

“It isn’t like we will enter an age of science fiction, right?” Icarus asked.

“The world that I saw didn’t look that developed, the roads were either ground without grass or bricks… that being said, we can’t say for certain how things might evolve for civilizations that used magic and didn’t suffer resets like this world,” Billy explained. “I will be working and be traveling around to pass the knowledge of some techniques to other people. I don’t need to worry about them using those against me anymore, after all.”

“Getting overconfident, aren’t we?” Meryl asked. ” still, I suppose something like that is unavoidable if we want to prevent future problems. While Uvish’s plans have been stopped, I doubt that he will give up on them entirely.”

Billy was fully aware of that, that was one of the reasons he wanted to make the whole population stronger. Things worked out with the people in the temple city, but Uvish used his powers to cause dungeon breaks. They will need the help of some extra hands. Billy and his friends’ lives will be even busier from now on, but it couldn’t be helped. Besides, his kids were big enough to handle the traveling, so it was fine.

Staying one month or two at a place and then finding some quick learners to spread the knowledge was what he wanted. It would be tricky since most people wanted to keep ahead of others in most aspects, but since Billy had friends in most parts of the states, he could count on them as well.

“Well, I will come later once I find a way to purify the relics from his influence,” Billy said. “See you around.”

Icarus, Lucyna, and Meryl nodded. Things were a lot better than before when it came to their interaction with Billy. Still, they were worried about the future instead of being happy for his trust. They just won a difficult battle, but everything they knew made them think that even harder battles were coming… They needed to keep getting stronger…
