"I will apologize in advance just in case," Sei said.
"Ah, those types, huh," Billy said. "Well, I will just approach the monsters more in order to avoid them. If someone asks who I am, just say that I am a traveling mercenary or something."
"I never heard of mercenaries that use magic," Sei said.
Billy ignored the comment and approached the monsters. While that situation was annoying, he also would have more chances to summon the moles, so it was fine. Regardless, another black-haired guy wearing green armor showed up alongside some underlings. Even from far away, Billy could tell by the annoyed expression on his face that he was the type that makes people feel compelled to kick his balls.
"I heard some weird reports during the day, Lord Sei," the green armored guy said. "It seems that someone really showed up to save your ass."
"Lord Ruyguin… A wandering warrior that heard about the beast came to help us, at the cost of a decent sum in money," Sei said, trying to hide his displeasure.
Billy barely heard that, but he clicked his tongue since he didn't have money, and that dumbass was making him sound like worse than a mercenary. In any case, Billy had just a pretty good idea. He didn't have the need until now, but he decided to amplify his hearing. Fortunately, he just had to concentrate some mana on the right spot.
You learned Enhanced Hearing.
"That fast?" Ryuguin asked while frowning. "Isn't it weird that someone like that would be in our state? He can even… Use mystic artes?"
Billy heard that… For whatever reason, the people from that state are called magic mystic arts. It was kind of silly, but it also seemed a bit weird. The annoying guy didn't look that surprised, after all. After thinking for a while, Billy realized that those two armor was almost identical, but Sei's was brown. Maybe that guy was also a commander of another part of the wall… The obvious explanation was that Ryuguin was waiting for Sei to die and take his position and soldiers.
Putting that aside, Billy decided to ignore their conversation. Nothing good will come if he gets involved in the politics of that state. He even avoided such problems in even Hiloh state. When it comes to problems in his territories, they only happen once every several months. When the people there saw how pissed he got from doing that kind of thing, they decided to behave.
In any case, that incident made Billy realize that he still had a lot of room to learn new skills. Enhancing his senses was relatively easy, but he couldn't tell how they were going to help him in battle. Hearing and vision should be enough since he already had those… As for smell and taste… It was hard to imagine. Instead of locating an enemy through their smell, it would be easier to just use his eyes and ears. Regardless, it has been a while since Billy came up with a new skill, even though he often thought about them.
"Sorry about that," Sei said after he approached. "As expected, you drew the attention of someone troublesome, and he probably will send someone to keep an eye on you."
"Nevermind that, I won't show anything to him or anyone else aside from what I already did," Billy said. "In any case, it seems that we can move a bit more toward the cyclone, you should tell your men to stop digging near the walls and start other holes around here."
"Is that so… I will do that," Sei said. "For how long can you keep going like this?"
"I will fight until midnight and then start over during the morning, I believe I gave enough time for your soldiers to rest," Billy said.
"Plenty, we will make sure to keep advancing instead of just holding our ground," Sei said.

Although he said that he was going to sleep, Billy wanted to watch the samurai fight for a while. Sei had two skills that Billy truly wanted to see in action in order to learn it, but since they were skills instead of magic, perhaps he would have to work a bit harder to learn them. Also, it was kind of amazing that they could use Durandal. It was probably a technique that the reincarnated guy who changed everything in that state passed down.
"I suppose it is only natural… The enemies are spawning once every four seconds, so they would need to have some skills in order to repel dozens of thousands every day," Billy thought.
Instead of money, Billy wanted to learn those techniques. Still, even though he analyzed them, he didn't get any clue as to how he could learn them.
Severe Blade: a sword slash that is able to ignore the defense of the enemy or even objects. It ignores their defense by one point per level.
Heroic Spearmanship: while using a spear and similar weapons, you can cause five more points of damage per level.
Requirements: Spearmanhip Lv 50, Strenght 50, Speed 50
While some might think that Billy didn't need any more raw power since he could cut steel while using the Diamond glaive, there was no such a thing as too much power in Billy's dictionary. Still, his tribe had been training with the spear for so long that even Billy himself had been training with it for two decades… How come he never reached the next level with Spearmanship? Maybe he was missing something, but it was hard to say what…
