Billy never thought that his Earth magic would be used to bury monsters. Still, all that work that he did making tunnels helped him a little bit when making a massive pit to bury all the ice Golems that attacked him throughout the night. Unfortunately, since the monsters were five meters tall and two wide, they occupied quite a bit of space, so the pit that Billy created got filled right away, even though it was four hundred meters deep… Still, things were improving little by little, so he didn't have to stop or slow down with that plan, he just had to keep going.
"Yes… There is no other way," Billy thought while he was watching the area getting a bit clear.
The sun was rising, even though there was no sign of it in the sky. Regardless, Billy decided to move away from the battlefield and take a quick nap. It had been three days since he slept, and he was also starting to get grumpy…
After sleeping for two hours, Billy felt a bit refreshed, even though he literally slept in a hole that only had two small bifurcations that let air enter. After that, he approached the city and saw the Golems relentlessly attacking the place. He approached while walking, and no one noticed that. They were too busy with the monsters…
In any case, Billy frowned when he approached and saw the soldiers using katanas, naginata, and those sets of armor that samurai used back in the day… It almost looked like Japan was isekaied to another world. Billy thought that such a name would be good for a book. Regardless, he wondered why the reincarnated that founded that state would go that far to spread his culture… Nevertheless, Billy forgot about that and used his flames to melt the Golems around alongside the snow. While that would cause problems later, it was necessary for the next step of his plans.
The soldiers finally noticed Billy, and they didn't know how to react when someone just helped them since he used weird magic. Still, it was clear that he wasn't an enemy since he could have burned monsters and soldiers alike.
"Move away, please, even from a distance the flames can damage you guys," Billy said. "Call your commander, I am here to help and I need to discuss things with them."
Again, they didn't know how to respond to that. Fortunately, Billy heard them whispering, and he could understand their words, so they didn't speak another language.
As if they were broken robots, the ice golems kept charging at Billy, and he melted their heads with Fireballs. The soldiers finally had some room to breathe, and thanks to that, their heads cleared a bit, and one of them decided to call their commander.
"My name is Sei, I am the commander of the southern wall of our capital," A tall man suddenly appeared and said.
Although his name certainly sounded Japanese, Sei didn't look even one bit like one. Billy realized that it would be weird if a single person managed to change the genetic makeup of the people of an entire state. Even if they had a harem with dozens of women. Regardless, Sei was carrying a katana on his back, but he was holding a naginata as well. He had black hair and deep brown eyes, and Billy could see a lot of concern in them. The concern of the monsters and of the stranger that just arrived.
"My name is Billy, and I am here to help," Billy said. "Do your people need help to deal with this?" Billy asked.
Billy knew that things might get complicated for him later if he lay about his name. Besides, he was passed the point where he could hide his identity. He wasn't being stealthy, and he wasn't hiding his face, not like he could wear a helmet in that weather.
"... We certainly need," Sei said while he watched the ice Golems having their heads being melted by a single attack. "However, why would you help us? You aren't from here, clearly."
Billy didn't see anyone with green eyes and tanned skin among the the samurai, so he clearly looked out of place. Also, even though his glaive looked like a naginata a bit, his was clearly more powerful, even though he was hiding with a piece of clothing.
"I know that this type of creature will eventually grow immensely more powerful if it is left alone, so this is a problem that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible," Billy explained. "You should know that the ice titan destroyed your neighboring state and its power was weaker by them."
Sei nodded. He could tell that Billy had faced another of those titans. While it was hard to believe, he also heard that the fire titan had been killed before it was able to destroy the state it appeared
"Look at this," Billy said and then melted an ice golem with a bigger fireball. "When they die like this, the cyclone absorbs the water from their bodies and I believe it also grows in power. Defeating them regularly won't work either since the bodies can also freeze the area… I can see many corpses of them around. Are those hills piles of them?"
"Yes… we didn't think that they would affect us like this, but it seems that their presences alone are also decreasing the temperature," Sei said. "That also helps the cyclone…"
Sei bit his lips in exasperation. They couldn't even say that they were delaying the unavoidable at that rate… they were wasting time. Still, Billy wouldn't have come to work with them if there was nothing that they couldn't do.
"I will clear the area from the snow and ice, meanwhile, your people will have to dig roles to bury the bodies of the ice golems, right now, that is the only thing we can do to stop the enemy," Billy declared.
