Chapter 599 Manipulator (3)
Everyone frowned since Icarus had no reason to stop the attack unless the previous hit that he got messed up with his brain, but even that would be way too weird. The only explanation was that he had something in mind to help on the attack..."I would appreciate it if you don\'t lump me in the same category as you," Billy said. "I won\'t let this dumbass use me like he did to you."
"Maybe you won\'t, but just to be sure…" Icarus said and then touched the bone arrow.
Icarus used his Time Skip on the arrow. Now the very moment the arrow is shot, it will hit the Manipulator. If he had the chance to sweat cold, the manipulator would. Still, all that discharge of energy made the liquid of his body evaporate. Regardless, the Manipulator tried to move Billy to the side and block Meryl\'s vision. Unfortunately, before he could achieve anything with that, Meryl fired her arrow, and the attack crossed the Manipulator body instantly. At first, it only left a hole in the size of the projectile. Still eventually, it exploded the body in two as well as it caused another explosion that sent everyone flying.
After flying for thirty or so seconds, Billy finally landed, and then some steam left his body. That attack probably had enough energy to destroy a mountain… Fortunately, Billy let go of the body once the explosion forced him to move. Otherwise, he would find himself in a grotesque situation.

Billy sighed in relief, but then he frowned when he saw the upper body of the Manipulator that he had let go during the explosion. Putting the expression of Absolute terror of that guy aside, Billy saw a lot of blood around that part of his body and recalled that he needed that. Still, he wondered if that would be of any use since Meryl was the one who had his powers now. Nevertheless, Billy got a lot of blood in a container of Earth. It was easy to separate the dust and dirt from the blood, so Billy had no problems with that.
"Let\'s make this fly to the armor and then head to where the others are," Billy thought.
After using Telekinesis to move the receptacle away, Billy returned to where the others were. He found them alive but pretty beaten down. The shockwave caused by the explosion damaged them quite a bit, after all.
"You guys look like crap," Billy said. "Remember me not to rely on or expect anything from your plans again in the future."
"Did you get the skills, Meryl?" Lucyna asked while she was getting up.
"Yes, though I don\'t feel very different," Meryl replied. "His power to control and manipulate emotions was the real deal. There are numerous ways to use this indirectly."
"Oh, you obtained so much power, and you don\'t feel evil? I feel evil all the time," Billy replied.
Putting Billy\'s jokes aside, the others sighed in relief. One of their enemies was defeated, so they could relax for a while. Some monsters spawned around them, but Billy had the energy to spare to deal with them.
"What is the plan now?" Icarus asked. "Clear the dungeon by defeating the guardian?"
"That can wait. We need to check things outside before anything," Meryl replied. "Billy has a map, so we can come here anytime we want."
"All right, since that is the case, I am going to return to my family," Billy said and then made a copy of the map. "You guys should rest for a while before leaving."
Billy didn\'t wait for them to say anything. He immediately turned around and left. He was crazy to test his new weapons, but he couldn\'t do it so close to those guys.
Although Billy\'s armor was already fas, it got even faster once he entered in it and then used the long sword. Still, it was only consuming more mana to move faster than usual. So, it was only a trick to save time. It would be useful during fights, but it wasn\'t perfect.
"I guess the trick is like that. I need to use around ten extra points of mana per second to multiply my speed by two, the cost will increase according to how many times faster I want to be, but this isn\'t half bad," Billy thought.
Billy wanted to test the max speed of the armor, but in the end, he was in a dungeon, and he wasn\'t that used to that speed yet. Still, he crossed the whole dungeon while Ignoring the titans in just four hours.
Although he was inside the armor, Billy felt refreshed after seeing the sun for quite a long time. Things outside hadn\'t changed much, but he already knew that due to his mirrors. Regardless, he made his golems hide underground again while they hide all traces of the tunnels that they created. Speaking of the tunnels, Billy could use that one crossing the ocean to test his speed with the sword.
Billy got dizzy several times due to the insane speed. Still, in the end, he managed to cut down the travel duration from four hours to twenty minutes after increasing the speed of the armor by twelve times. Since the skill wasn\'t his, he still could suffer some damage while moving so fast, but it was just a minor drawback.
As soon as Billy saw his family, all the annoyance and stress that he accumulated over the last two weeks instantly vanished. While his wives were glad for his return, they didn\'t waste time scolding him for his delay and lack of news.
