I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 174 - To The Rescue (6)



Marie clicked her tongue in annoyance… it was more than a bit troublesome the fact that the enemy could pull that kind of stunt. Nevertheless, what was done was done. All the enemies will be wary of arrows coming from the hills now.

The allied soldiers also seemed pretty pissed… some of them even chased the enemies in a rage. It was understandable, but being an idiot wasn\'t going to help. Regardless, after half an hour, the enemy army attacked again, and this time they used only three battalions of infantrymen. Still, they also sent two battalions of riders to charge and attack the sides of the hills.

"They still find troublesome the archers behind the hills, so they want to get rid of them as soon as possible," Drew said.

"We are moving," Marie declared. "We will face those assholes on the right side and leave the other to Gerald."

It wasn\'t the best idea to face and battalion of riders with infantrymen. Still, the adventurers were the ones who could react fastest to those threats. Billy never faced an opponent riding a horse before, but he had an idea of what he should do. To prevent the attack, he could aim at the horse, but to counterattack, he could aim for the legs of the rider or go for the kill. Billy didn\'t want to kill horses since they were such loyal creatures, and he also had some tricks up his sleeve.

Regardless, that unit began to move, and soon the riders noticed that they had an unusual group blocking their path; still, they didn\'t slow down even a bit. The enemies frowned when they saw a single archer in the first line of the adventurers. Still, the frown disappeared when four of the soldiers fell dead with arrows on their heads… Alexander made arrows appear out of nowhere, and he could fire that fast… some riders raised their spears to protect themselves and slowed down. Marie grinned when she saw that.

The two battalions collided, and while some riders tried to stab Marie with a rain of thrusts, she dodged them all while moving forward. At the same time, she stabbed the riders deeply in the legs, to the point lots of blood began to gush out from the wounds… she certainly hit an artery.

Drew and Nikola just dodged the first strikes and also swung their weapons toward the riders\' torso… it seemed that they didn\'t want to kill the horses either. As for Billy, he did something rather unusual… when the enemies\' spears moved toward him, he repelled them with his own by using Block Master, and while the enemy\'s arm was trembling all over, he approached and impaled his neck.

"Dodging is too dangerous when they are so many enemies around…" Billy said, and then he felt a gaze from his right side.

Although Billy managed to use Block Mastery again, he was starting to feel a lot of weight already on his arms. As expected, the horses boosted the rider\'s power quite a bit.

"The riders are around level sixty, and even the horses ate above thirty… so I guess this is to be expected," Billy thought.

Besides, Billy wasn\'t using skills, not magic, so it was only natural that he would struggle a little bit. Nevertheless, it wasn\'t time to worry about that. The enemies were quickly trying to surround their groups since Marie was there… Billy knew that he should conserve his mana but not his stamina. He had to destroy that entice battalion… With that in mind, he began to knock down several riders with the shockwaves of Light Spear used one after the other.

"Billy!" Drew said and then pierced the belly of one rider. "You will run out of steam soon at this rate. There is no telling if the enemies won\'t sent some back up to this unit."

Billy knew about that possibility, but he needed to do his best Anyway. Recently, he came up with a theory about how he could learn the skill to recover his stamina faster, and he assumed that it was by pushing his body to the limits in harsh situations like that. In the last five months, he tried to do that, but just by training and running, he didn\'t achieve that, and in some moments, he did that until he collapsed. It was a bit risky, but it was necessary for his future. Besides, he had some skills that confirmed that theory. He learned fire and heat Resistance while he was learning how to forge and had to endure the massive heat emitted whenever he was working.

Drew felt a bit troubled since it seemed that his son was in his rebellious phase, but after looking around for a second, he realized that perhaps they shouldn\'t be holding back. Their unit was losing members quite often, and the dying screens of his students made Alexander\'s aim decrease more and more… he certainly would feel more than a little angry once he turned around and saw that.

Unfortunately, that happened a lot sooner than expected. After losing half of their riders, that unit began to retreat since Marie still didn\'t have a single scratch on her. She was fast as the wind, so she would face fighting for a while longer to lose that speed of hers.. Marie clicked her tongue while imagining what the enemy was thinking while they were running away… in any case, they protected the archers, but they also paid the price.
