I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 468 Payback (4)

"Whatever, it isn't like I was expecting your help anyway," Billy said and then began to heal his wounds. "If you think you can defeat him, go ahead and be my guest. I won't help since you didn't help me. This is your golden chance to obtain his powers and fears me a little less."

Icarus and Lucyna didn't even say anything to convince Billy to help. He was right in being that guarded in front of them now. Also, it would be pretty shameful if they didn't manage to win two against one when Billy made the enemy show all of his cards. The summoner was strong, but now they knew how to face him. He wasn't invincible… they had a chance and now that they knew his skills in action, they had a good plan in their heads as well. However, nothing in the world is absolute, so they needed to be careful as well. Otherwise, they would be in a dire situation...

"All right… let's do this, Lucyna," Icarus said.

"How utterly pathetic… you guy can't do anything without numbers?" The summoner asked. "I am not interested in those who hide in the shadows and wait for their chances to accomplish anything, so I will end this quickly."

Billy wanted to say for him to take his time in order to give him more time to heal and think of a clear plan to deal with him, but he obviously didn't do it. In any case, Billy felt the aura of the summoner changing, and even though Icarus used his speed to approach him and attack, something happened when he got too close… it was like he lost most of his speed. Thanks to the surprise, Icarus was caught off guard, and the summoner bombarded him with consecutive punches in the stomach. When Icarus bent his body forward, the summoner finished the combo with his knee on Icarus' face. He had planned to continue the combo, but then the summoner noticed his chest bleeding and a wound increasing in size. At the same time, he found Lucyna pointing his hands toward him.

The summoner frowned since the power that he chose to use against Icarus wasn't working against her. He also couldn't understand how she could damage him like that… directly to his flesh. Still, that was some bad news. The summoner charged toward Lucyna, but then she exchanged places and appeared far behind the summoner. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and tried to chase her. Eventually, he realized the trick behind her movement speed… she had to look at the place she was moving. Once he realized that, the summoner didn't have a hard time moving toward the same spot and then grabbing her neck.

Before the summoner could kill Lucyna, Icarus approached. He lost his speed again, but he wasn't caught off guard this time. He kicked the summoner's left side, and when he prepared to continue the combo, the summoner threw Lucyna at him.

"I suppose that skill is some kind of field that slows down everything that approaches… it doesn't seem like gravity," Billy thought while analyzing that. "It must be a special trait of a very rare monster since it works against Icarus' acceleration."

Billy wondered if the summoner found such a beast… He probably couldn't just have summoned with that idea in mind. It would be too convenient. In any case, Billy knew that the skill had some limitations. While it could slow down Icarus, it couldn't make him slower than the summoner. Still, taking away his best weapon was one of the best things one could do to break his legs when it comes to fighting.

After the first failure, those two decided to change their tactics since they couldn't face the summoner directly. Lucyna moved away from the enemy while Icarus stepped forward. Icarus armed himself with a dagger and then prepared to attack while Lucyna just pointed her hands toward the enemy. It didn't seem like she was causing any damage, but Billy could tell that she was doing something. It took a while for Billy and the summoner to notice, but the enemy was starting to sweat a lot while breathing hard. She was stealing his stamina…

The summoner clicked his tongue in annoyance… He was saving that to deal with Billy, but it seemed that he could no longer underestimate them. Even though he lost his speed, thanks to the exhaustion of the enemy, Icarus finally landed a hit and almost cut the throat of the summoner. In the end, he moved backward at the last moment and then just got scratched.

"I see now… He found a way to use the monsters and make them recover his mana, but his stamina is another matter… He doesn't know Recover either," Billy thought.

It didn't take long for the summoner's Aura to begin to change again, and Billy clicked his tongue when he felt the Aura of a dragon. In the end, he chose the most optimal choice to recover his stamina and began to fly. Still, he didn't fly that high since he didn't feel that threatened by Icarus and Lucyna.

Draining the enemy's stamina was a waste of time now, so Lucyna focused on stealing his mana. It was kind of crazy to think that she could do that from so far away… Still, the summoner used Fire Breath on her, but he soon stopped because he suddenly turned his head to the side, and then Icarus appeared while falling.

"How did he hit him… He wasn't supposed to know how to fly…" Billy frowned.

Icarus soon disappeared again, and it was impossible to track his footsteps… The summoner increased his distance between them and then prepared another Fire Breath with that in mind. While Lucyna was running away from that, the enemy suddenly got hit again, to the point that his face began to swell… He wasn't the only one who came up with countermeasures against another reincarnated individual.
