After a while, Billy stooped to take a break. Things were under control when it came to the monsters since his allies that had the same armor as he was fighting. During that time, he used Temporal Vision and granted the spirit of death the chance to destroy all the portals that he could find. Thanks to it, the powers of the enemies began to decrease.
"It seems that a lot of people are arriving, and we don't have enough room in the city for everyone," Kate said when Billy returned.
"I will expand the barrier, and then the mages will have more room to do their work," Billy said.
Aura, Rosalie, Marc, Aura, Valentin, Gilles, Laurent, and many other groups arrived in the middle of the night. As expected, they said that Uvish tried to block their block their paths, but they managed to fend the enemies off. After a couple of minutes, the lenders of Korpal state that had been brainwashed by Billy arrived, followed by Haruna and her generals.
"My apologies for our delay. Many people hesitated in abandoning their homes and leaving their things to the enemies…" Haruna said. "We can always rebuild things, but my people value their history too much for the better or worse."
"It can't be helped. Hopefully, not many of those who stayed behind will die for their stubbornness," Billy said.
"Anyway, those vehicles sure are handy and didn't even need horses…. their speed made some people throw up, but I want to buy some," Haruna said.
"Sorry, we can negotiate about that later," Billy said.
Billy began to work on the new Golems that arrived as fast as he could because he could sense many people and enemies coming from all friction and without using the tunnels. They were villagers that managed to survive thanks to Billy's clones. All of a sudden, he felt a powerful sting in his back, and then Billy got the memories of his clone. One of them died, and their back was pierced by the spear of an extra large flying spearman. He wasn't at the same level as Zajoth, but he killed one of Billy's clones…
"A troublesome one is coming from East… And he is chasing the barbarians," Billy said.
"I can feel it… One of our own is about to wake up," the death spirit said. "You should go and take her before Uvish kills her."
"Sorry, but my priority is to save my friends," Billy said. "That will have to wait."
"With her power, you will be able to recover the wounds of everyone inside this barrier if you want," The death spirit said. "She might not like you, but she will help make things more equal in this battle."
"The spirit of life…" Billy said.
"That is right, she has awakened now that people are dying and their mana is overflowing on the planet," the death spirit said. "I suspected it would take a while longer, but since some of the dead were trained by you and your friends, they had more mana than usual."
Billy considered his options and quickly made up his mind. Leaving at such a moment would leave a bad impression on the people around, but it couldn't be helped.
"Svan is in trouble, and I am going to help him," Billy said.
"All right, be careful," Kate said.
"You should check things with Felipe and Beatrice as well," Sarah added.
Billy nodded and then began to fly as fast as he could. He even used Acceleration Manipulation to reach the enemy and his friends before a disaster happened.
"Didn't you hear that I said?" The death spirit said.
"Yes, I heard," Billy said. "Still, my friends still take priority in this situation."
The death spirit wished that he could complain, but he couldn't. Everyone has their priorities. Besides, the spirits were basically immortal, and they could always revive as long as the conditions were good enough. The same couldn't be said by humans.
"She awakened in the extreme north side of this continent, and it seems that many portals are opening in there," the death spirit said.
Despite that, Billy ignored the words of the death spirit and didn't change his direction. Eventually, he found an army of barbarians running and facing an army of ice trolls above the tunnel, and they were being led by someone who looked a lot like Zajoth.

That was a weird combination… Nevertheless, Billy approached the enemies at super Sonic speeds and then impaled the leader with his glaive before using Gungnir and wiping out half of the army of trolls.
The barbarians saw that, and at first, they imagined that Another monster had arrived. Still, some of them recognized Billy, and Svan and his daughter Ilfa were among them.
"Why aren't you using the tunnels?" Billy asked.
"The population needed a diversion to escape, and the enemies were keen to chase us," Svan said. "Putting that aside, that strength that you just showed…."
"We don't have time to talk, and I need to check others," Billy said and opened a hole that connected to the nearest tunnel. "Go now."
Stealing the entrance was useless since the portals appeared inside. So, Billy left while flying North, and then he used Temporal Vision to check things in the temple city. Fortunately, they had their relic to the whole city was crossing the tunnels together and the enemies couldn't get even close to the attack the tunnels… With that in mind, it was time to check the spirit of life.
