I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 596 Power up (6)

　　 The Manipulator stepped forward to scare Lucyna, but Billy knew that he was just trying to gain time since his control over Icarus and Meryl wasn\'t complete. However, that had been a mistake… In the next moment, Icarus suddenly landed a dropkick on the Manipulator\'s back. He made him fly to the wall, making it crack in numerous parts. That wasn\'t the usual way Icarus would attack, so they couldn\'t understand what had happened. Naturally, the cause of that was Billy and his Telekinesis. He also felt pretty satisfied with that...

　　 Meryl also realized that the spell had dispersed when the enemy was hit. Still, she didn\'t know how Icarus suddenly attacked and why he attacked so slowly, and yet, he caused so much damage. The answer was simple, Billy controlled him with Telekinesis. As to how the attack worked, Billy saw with Magic Eyes that the flow of mana around was moving toward the Manipulator anymore. He probably couldn\'t use both types of skills at the same time…

　　 Before the Manipulator could recover, Meryl prepared to fire an arrow, but she took some time to charge that one. Much to everyone\'s surprise, Lucyna enhanced Meryl\'s strength and dexterity with her innate skill. That didn\'t make any sense since she was doing the inverse of stealing, but no one asked for explanations.

　　 When she fired her arrow, Meryl saw the Manipulator reacting and blocking the projectile with his hands. However, an explosion still happened that made the entire floor tremble. She probably would have killed him if she had received Billy\'s buffs, but he wouldn\'t make it too easy for them. He was also done helping them…

　　"This was the payment for letting me study his skills, don\'t hope to be helped again," Billy said.

　　"His skill ended, but I am still pissed… It is even more annoying that it isn\'t something that our bodies can learn to counter attack like elemental Resistances," Icarus said.

　　"Stop talking and focus on the enemy. He isn\'t dead yet," Lucyna said.

　　 They already had used a lot of mana, and they didn\'t have time to use Spiritual Cores to recover it. They had to finish that as soon as possible. Still, they felt the Aura of the Manipulator changing again, to the point that it looked like his blood evaporating and leaving his body through his pores. He finally was using his anger to boost himself to the limits…

　　 Weirdly enough, the Manipulator glared at Billy and charged at him as well. Still, Icarus got on his way, only to get hit by a body Slam that sent him flying to the distance. It seemed that he had learned not to dodge some attacks in the most weird way… Still, Meryl\'s next arrow hit the enemy and made him stop and also made him tumble to the side. Maybe because he was no longer enhancing his defense, the attack hit his right arm and opened a wound there. It was far from mortal, but there was some Damage.

　　 Lucyna put her stuff away and then grabbed her old daggers and then disappeared. In the next moment, she appeared behind and tried to stab the Manipulator. Still, he reacted in time to turn around and almost grab her hands, but Lucyna stabbed his hands before returning to her initial spot.

　　"You guys… sure have… Some annoying skills," the Manipulator said.

　　 His ability to speak was deteriorating due to the anger. However, Billy still was impressed that he could say that much in that kind of situation. Regardless, the fuel manipulator didn\'t want to chat that much anymore and quickly targeted Lucyna. His anger was starting to control his way of thinking as well…

　　 As if he were some kind of moron, Icarus charged and attacked, but instead of his usual punches that would be enhanced by the gauntlets, he used a drop kick. The back of the enemy\'s head was hit, and one staggered… Maybe Icarus had thought that a singed kick would be more effective, and the effects of the enemy\'s emotional control would be less powerful on him, which was correct.

　　 Before the Manipulator could recover, Meryl again hit him with an extra-powered arrow, and this time it pierced quite a bit deep into his arm. The damage was finally pilling up, but it was worrisome that he could react that fast and that his Aura was increasing alongside his anger. Billy couldn\'t see the limits of that guy\'s strength yet.

　　 While the Manipulator was getting up, Icarus dashed and attacked him, this time with a sequence of fast punches. He tried to land only hits on the enemy\'s eyes, but aside from some heat caused by the speed of his attacks, no damage was caused.

　　"As expected… His anger is exponentially increased his defense," Billy thought. "I forgot how useful Rage is… But it increases the physical parameters based on a percentage. So, the stronger you are, the higher the bonuses will be."

　　 Since he spent more than a year inside that dungeon, the Manipulator was already strong enough. Still, the equipment that Billy made was supposed to cause extra damage based on the enemy\'s defense, and If that wasn\'t working, then he had some countermeasures against that.

　　 The manipulator began to tremble, and he glared at everyone around, he had lost the ability to speak, and his aura was starting to mess with the mana in the environment. With his Magic Eyes, Billy could see that he looked like a tornado that pushed things away instead of pulling in… it was probably due to that state that he was able to fight the tyrants for so long by himself. Icarus, Meryl, and Lucyna could tell that he had gotten stupidly strong, so they couldn\'t help but flinch in front of him.

　　"They are lucky that he is only using one of his powers to power up himself. Otherwise, their hesitation would only make things more complicated," Billy thought.
