Billy ran out of patience… He lent them, enemies, granted them skills, and made things as convenient as possible for them by assuming a support role. Icarus still had the nerve to complain that they were killing enemies too fast. Meryl and Lucyna didn't disagree with him, so they were interested in getting stronger than finishing the mission faster as well.
"I guess it is fine, let's fight the way we each feel more comfortable," Billy said.
Billy led the group again, and when the next groups of wyrms spawned, he used Flash and then swung his speed after he enhanced it with Wind Transformation. The electric current increased the sharpness of the weapon and made Billy cut the heads of two enemies in a single second. After that, he returned to the back line and waited for the others to finish the remaining monsters.
Billy wasn't the type to lash out at the others, so they could tell that he was pissed. Unfortunately, they couldn't afford to feel guilty for their actions and thoughts. They were all acting and moving according to their own goals, and so was Billy. He offered them all the help because they wanted them to become more useful to him. It wasn't out of friendship or kindness…
In any case, they got what they wanted. The chance to fight more and for longer… While they were doing that, Billy tried to increase the output of Magic Absorption to check if he could decrease the temperature by doing only that. Unfortunately, that didn't happen… Still, he used the extra mana to create more magic items and absorb their effects.
In the end, while Billy had planned to reach the next sector in a single day, they had to walk for two days for that to happen. It seemed like a waste, but Billy used his free time wisely, and he was getting stronger way faster than the others. Once they reached the entrance of the eleventh floor, the group noticed that things in the distance looked quite problematic… They could see that half of the floor had become lava… Never mind the temperature. The air there should be hella toxic.
"Only a monster would endure an environment like this…" Lucyna said.
"I will make the shelter again, but I don't think this will last for longer under these conditions," Billy said.
Billy created the shelter again, and he decided to leave the others behind to resume his practice. He failed at creating a single item from the wyrms that granted him the power to use gravity magic. He used all the methods he knew, but it didn't work, so it looked like he was missing something.
"Let's see if I can obtain better results by using their bodies as materials…" Billy thought while furrowing his eyebrows.
At this point in time, he had dismantled so many wyrms that Billy could understand their anatomy better than anyone in the world. He was the only one who tried to understand it in the first place… Nevertheless, Billy forged a spear using their bones, and that was the result.
Bone Spear of Flames - Lv 0
Strength + 70, Magic + 70.
Fire Breath Lv 30
Durability: 100/100
"My guess was right… somehow, all the information of our skills and paramters are engraved in our bodies," Billy thought. "That is why my blood and their can created those legendary weapons… our blood is what differentiate us from the others, but following that logic, why my kids don't have the same powers as me?"
The monster's blood couldn't grant skills, but the other parties of their bodies could… in any case, there was only one part in the wyrm's body that Billy could think of that would grant him Gravity Manipulation… the brain.
"Ugh… Even I have limits with this kind of stuff and using the brain of a monster is way above that," Billy said and then sighed.
Billy wondered how he could escape from that mess. Gravity Manipulation was certainly a skill that he couldn't ignore… After thinking for a while, not many ideas came to mind. It wasn't like he could forget anything with a brain… That being said, Billy had some grotesque ideas that sent shivers down his spine. He could try to make a magic staff and use the brain like a magic crystal… He just had to envelop it in glass or chromium.
"I am really that desperate to learn this…" Billy thought when he began to work on that.
Billy wondered if he had gone mad or if, after seeing the maker laboratory, some sort of mental limiter in his head disappeared. In any case, the first staff didn't work probably because Billy used chromium in the crystal. Still, it didn't work either when he used glass or other variations.
Come to think of it, he could feel the mana on the brain dissipating, so it probably was too weak to keep working. Billy solved that problem by using some of his health pills and creating a receptacle where he mixed the pills with some water. After that, he put the brain inside to stop the degradation. He noticed that the mana stopped disappearing, and then he finally sealed the container at the top of a magic Staff.
Decadence Magic Staff - Lv 0
Magic + 100, Mana + 400
Gravity Manipulation Lv 30
Durability: 50/50
Billy sighed when he succeeded, and then he proceeded to get the effects of the staff. He wanted to destroy that thing as fast as possible, after all. Once he got the effects of the items, Billy decided to return to the shelter. He could make the skill level up right now, but using it on the monsters would be a lot more effective, so Billy decided to rest and wait for that.
As soon as Billy began to sleep, the others noticed that he had learned two spells in one hour, and one of them was gravity Manipulation, that was enough to make them look at each other in Absolute terror.
