Chapter 750: Champions (3)
"Sorry for our delay," Drew said when he and the others arrived. "It took a while to convince everyone to come."
Billy's parents and friends from his hometown arrived using the tunnels and the Golems. Although they found it that Billy was in front of the carts for some reason, they didn't realize that it was a clone, and before they could see the two of them and get confused, Billy made the clone disappear. To avoid problems, it was better to keep that skill hidden.
"At least one of the world's cities managed to cooperate and come," Billy said. "Anyway, everyone can rest underground for a while. The others mages of the city are working to build more houses using magic around."
Billy approached one of his Golems and then began to transfer the creature's experience to Spiritual Core. Usually, he couldn't summon a monster and then steal their experience. Only when they develop and make some skills level up does that becomes available. In any case, once he got all the experience possible, he got all the mana as well, and the Creature became dust.

Billy nodded in satisfaction while the others looked at him with weird eyes. The Golems were probably a force that they would need to fight the next attack, after all. Still, while it was true, people have to sacrifice something of equal value to obtain something else. Billy kept doing that until everyone disembarked. After that, he summoned a clone to do that job for him.
"Ah, the beauty of multitasking efficiently…" Billy said. "In any case, I should seal this entrance since no more people will come from the southeast and leave the clone work in peace."
Other groups began to arrive from other tunnels, so Billy knew that he had to hurry up. He was in the first stage, and the plan to make a perfect barrier had three… Moreover, Uvish would target the capital more with people coming than any other place.
"You… You found them," Totaic said when half of the tribesmen arrived.
"Let's not talk about that right now," Billy said. "You should take your people to rest and those who can fight to the walls of the city. I assume half of the people thought that the battle was over."
"They will eventually come, '' Luso suddenly appeared and then said. "Some will pay the price for their negligence, but it is how things should be."
Billy nodded. He couldn't take on his shoulders the weight of everyone's lives, after all. He would try his best to help as many people as possible, but he wasn't the hero of that world. He could only try to be the best man that he could be for the sake of his family and friends.
In any case, Billy worked in the same way on the southern tunnel until all of the tribesmen left the area, and then he went a clone again. He couldn't see that passage because more people could come, mainly from the southern states like Grenciti and Korpal states as also the samurai lands. All of those were good allies of Billy, but they were relatively far away.
In any case, just as Billy had predicted, Uvish began to open portals all over the world again around midnight. Those who were resting quickly woke up when the noise of the battle started. When Billy saw numerous portals opening around the city, he didn't hesitate and then headed to the core that created a barrier around his house. Using his mana, he made it level up and expand.
People frowned when they felt something passing through their bodies. Still, then they realized that the enemies were unable to approach and were pushed backward.
"Should I destroy the portals?" The spirit of death asked.
"No, we need to make everyone stronger, and I will use those fuckers again," Billy said while looking at the flying, red spearmen. "You three should stay here and feed your mana to the core."
"... All right," Kate said after a long sigh.
Everyone's goal was to save as many people as possible, so Billy's wives understood that they had to work that way since they were those who had the most mana and could recover faster than anyone else. Besides, the fight was only starting…
"I will use your lazy ass plan again, you," Billy said while he was flying and then left the barrier.
The flying spearmen saw Billy and then focused on him. Using Blood Spears, they attacked relentlessly. Still, Billy dodged all of them and eventually impaled the stomach of one of the enemies with his glaive. The creature didn't die, and he used it as a shield while he drained all the experience that he had into Spiritual Core.

The monsters have gotten stronger, considering that they could give Billy that much experience. Still, as Billy stole their experience, they became a lot weaker, and then they died a lot sooner and without healing their bodies. Unfortunately, all that hard work also allowed the enemies to surround him.
Before the creatures could attack Billy from all directions, numerous arrows flew toward and hit the enemies, making them lose their limbs when they got lucky and their heads when they got lucky. Billy saw Lily covering for him while the others moved to position themselves around the barrier. The enemies weren't attacking a single spot, and they couldn't let them do that for long… The barrier could only withstand as much damage as the core could use mama.
"This will work out like this, but why do I feel like something ominous is about to happen?" Billy thought. "I should tell the others to raise their guard more than the usual just in case..."
