I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 601 Manipulator (5)

　　 An indestructible shield was pretty nice, but it wasn't a perfect defense, shields could be ignored after all, and area of effect attacks existed. Billy made a round one easy to carry on the back since no one in his group had used one. However, he will have to come up with some way to keep it and maintain it hidden from Icarus, Lucyna and Meryl since they could use Analysis and Appraisal. It was a massive pain in the ass, but it couldn't be helped. Perhaps putting on the back of his armor would do it...

　　"The best defense is a dropkick in the neck, and the fast you can do it, the more chances it will work, I suppose," Billy thought.

　　 Billy walked around the capital with his shield hidden to test it. When he saw some troublemakers in a tavern, he used the shield to make them feel sad. Instead of picking a fight, they suddenly began to cry and apologize to each other. That had been pretty fun.

　　"I guess I need to check the spear and Lucyna's power now," Billy thought.

　　 Billy returned home and put the shield away while he grabbed the spear. Fortunately, he didn't have to leave his house to test it. He saw Blitz making noise at the top of his house for some reason, and then he decided to steal some of his stamina. That worked pretty well to calm him down since it felt like he had got tired of it.

　　"Hmm… It seems that this way, I can enter on the over-stamina state," Billy thought. "I feel pretty good."

　　 Billy wondered why Lucyna never mentioned that. Then again, she never said that she could do the inverse of what her skill was supposed to do. Regardless, while Billy could use that with stamina and mana, for some reason, he couldn't do it with Health. Maybe because it belonged to another domain of ability.

　　 Since he couldn't use the staff because he would need bones for that. Billy decided to check his innate skills. With that ring, he could mess with the experience of his abilities, but he wanted to learn how to do that by himself.

　　 Much to Billy's surprise, he learned it pretty fast. The trick was for him using Analysis of the skills that he already had. He never did that because he already knew what those skills could do.

　　Fierce Aura Lv 121 (245/25.000)

　　 When he thought of moving the experience to another skill, it worked just like that… It seemed like a feature of his powers that he never knew that it existed. That was probably how Lucyna learned that she could use her stealing skills for support. In any case, with that in mind, Billy attempted other things. Like increasing the experience he gained per each point of mana, but it didn't work. He also couldn't just store the experience that he took from one skill and use it on himself. It required some experimenting, but either that ability couldn't do everything related to experience, or Billy had to find other ways.

　　"Since I have that lance and Enhanced Thievery, perhaps now I can steal experience from others…" Billy thought. "Lucyna probably can't use that since her power never increased absurdly, but by combining ours…"

　　 Billy managed to combine some skills before, but they were the most simple ones: elemental magic. The skills that the reincarnated individuals had were more conceptual skills than anything, so it probably will be more than a little bit difficult.

　　"I suppose I should start the tests with something inorganic like a magic item," Billy thought.

　　 Based on his conjecture and the experience that he had using his powers until now, Billy assumed that everything in the world has experienced, even inorganic objects. The experience was what made things the way they were. While he called experience, it also could be called physical data… it was hard to explain more than that. In simple terms, if one thing had the accumulated data to be soft or hard, the same thing would be sort or hard.

　　"I am pretty sure that back on Earth, things would be explained according to their molecular composition, but… I think that my guess is true in this world," Billy thought.

　　 In any case, Billy tried to absorb the experience of several things after feeling their magical effects… that happened rather fast, so he couldn't help but frown. It was probably because of that training with Time Skip. Nevertheless, after sensing the magical energy in that old ring that he found when he was making the first few tunnels, Billy used the lance to steal the experience from it. Or at least he tried. He succeeded in draining some mana, but the amount of experience was small, and he couldn't control the remaining.

　　You learned the skill Haggler.

　　The skill Haggler has leveled up.

　　…

　　"Well, this is unexpected…" Billy thought. "I can turn into skills the effects of magic items. I suppose that means that I can obtain their powers… But it will consume an astronomical amount of mana."

　　 Billy used a lot more mana than he had used, probably because he got that skill. In any case, after a while, the ring turned into dust… That confirmed his theory. That ability wasn't half bad, but it was destructive, and he needed to focus completely on the task. So, never mind fighting, he couldn't even move while it was taking place…
