"Hey… what is wrong?" Billy said. "Whatever happened, it isn't my fault."
"What are you talking about?" Kate asked. "We weren't thinking about you now. Rather than that, did you do something to feel guilty for? You should spill the beans now before you regret it later..."
"Ouch… your words cut deeper than Zenis' sword strikes," Billy said.
"We were thinking that we want to check that dungeon of the tyrants," Kate replied. "We thought that it would be a good training before we start to move around and teach others some of the techniques that we know."
"That isn't a half bad idea…" Billy said. "Unfortunately, Icarus had to absorb the core of that dungeon to get stronger enough to fight Zenis. The cost of mana of his skill was that high, and that was why he needed the core. That will have to wait for a while longer."
"So, there is no more tyrants' dungeon? Tsk," Natalie said.
"Won't that affect that continent negatively?" Sarah asked.
"It might affect, but not that much," Billy replied. "In the first place, tyrants went extinct in that continent, and only the dungeon core could make them spawn inside the dungeon. Moreover… wait… I think I know how I can repair that dungeon."
"You are thinking of doing something insane again…" Kate said.
"We learned that the blood rich in mana can pass magic effects to relics. The dungeon cores msut be the same thing, a magic relic that has the blood of the monsters they can spawn," Billy said. "The cores also must have the ability to drain the mana from the surroundings, and once they have enough, they make the monsters spawn inside something similar to their personal domain. That explains everything! Still, a shit ton of mana would be necessary for a core to be able to spawn monsters every minute to all the spots the people inside can be, so the core would have to reach a high level in the first place…"
"You lost me in the third sentence…" Natalie said. "Explain that in twenty words or less."
"As I said, we can revive the dungeon since I know now the trick that Uvish used," Billy said. "Hmm, now that I think about it, Zenis was the one who made the underwater dungeons under his influence since only Uvish has the power to bend space."
"I suppose that is better than nothing," Natalie said.
Dungeons would suck the mana from the world, but it would be fine since mana can't affect the environment as much as before. Billy wondered if he should study how Uvish changed mana in order to prevent that. Still, he already had too much on his plate right now, so it would be better to put that aside for the time being.
"Let's tell Alexander and Lily about the news. They will want to come as well," Kate said and then left.
While Kate leaving to tell his friends the news and then Natalie and Sarah went to pack their things for the trip, Billy wondered if he had done the right thing… letting his wives train, and all was fine, but the demi-humans continent still was a harsh place for kids. Even for adults… Nevertheless, it was too late to complain now.
Billy went around to inform his friends that he was going on a trip, but only Jean and Edward actually needed to know that. While they were interested in the place, they were too busy with the reconstruction of things. So, only Billy's original party was going on that trip.
" I guess it can't be helped…" Billy said and then shrugged and then looked at his kids. "Go help your mamas to pack the things. We are going on a trip."
Billy thought that Christina would be pretty happy about that. Still, since his kids didn't have many chances to leave the capital, they weren't particularly excited. Well, that wasn't that surprising. When Billy was really six years old, he thought that there was nothing more fun than watching TV…
On the next day, everything was ready for the trip, and everyone was waiting in the garden. It has been a while since the whole group moved to do something together… It was hard to gather like that as before. This time, Lara and Billy's kids were going as well, so the group increased in size. Lara looked like her mother when Billy saw her for the first time, and she was a bit of a tomboy.
"I suppose we are ready to go," Billy said.
"Are we flying?" Alexander asked.
"No, it will be faster if we use the tunnel," Billy replied. "The kids are with us, so we can't use the armors."
"I still can't believe that you made an underwater tunnel connecting both continents," Alexander said.
"I didn't. The Golems did…" Billy replied.
Since Billy told everyone a good part of the information he got, they knew that he had the powers of the summoner and of Jeannette. Still, they knew how he got the familiars to the kids, but they never asked more than that. It was a bit of a complicated stuff, but they were being more considerate than anything.
In any case, using the tunnel and his magic cart, they began to move toward the other continent insanely fast. Since Billy could manipulate acceleration, they could have moved even faster. Still, some of the kids and adults got dizzy when he did that, and so he stopped. After a couple of hours, they reached the continent, despite the fact that they didn't see anything worthwhile along the way, only ways. The trip had been fun since they talked about random things like it happens on normal trips.
"Maybe I should use Absolute Conversion and transform the walls into glass. That would have made this into quite the tour," Billy thought. " In any case, the magic cart is a lame name… From now on, you are berser-car,"
