I Can Make Everything Level UP-Chapter 754: Explanation (1)
"How do you want to be called, huh?" Billy asked.
"... We don't need names," the life spirit said after a few moments of silence.
"Wow… I heard the voice…" Icarus said.
"I think it belonged to the life spirit…" Lucyna said.
"I see… So, Uvish gave you guys names, and now you hate the idea of having a new one or any name at all," Billy said.
"You are unnecessary and annoyingly sharp when you don't have to…" The life spirit said.
"Well, if you two don't want one, then it is fine," Billy said. "Oh? I guess it is finally time…"
The skill Spiritual Core has leveled up.

One of the clones finished the work and then disappeared. Thanks to that, Billy got the experience, and Spiritual Core reached the max level. Now, even the innate skills will cost half of their usual mana, but that wasn't Billy's current goal. He stopped the other clones and made them only gather mana, and he would need a lot again to put the next step into action.
"It seems that we somehow arrived in time…" Felipe said.
Billy heard that voice and then saw Felipe, Beatrice, Svan, and Ilfa. Many people came with them as well. So, the largest army in the world was almost complete.
"Things are under control now, but eventually, Uvish will come and go all out," Billy said. "Until that happens, you should take a break and rest."
It would be hard to find a place to rest when the population of the capital increased by twenty times. Moreover, despite the barrier, the sound of battles still echoed through the whole city… in just one hour, the sun was going to rise. Still, the people from there basically didn't sleep for more than two hours.
While Billy waited for something to happen, he waited at the top of his house. He could tell that almost all the golems that had arrived had been absorbed by his clones, and it had been a while since the last one came… most likely, no more people would come. Still, while a lot of golems are ready to be used, they will have to stay behind in case someone gives up.
"Soon enough, I will have enough mana to put that plan in action, but until then, I had to deal with that aspect as well," Billy thought and then used Emotional Control to increase his rage.
That would tire his body and mind a lot faster than usual, but it couldn't be helped… that was the first step of another idea that Billy had. In any case, while he was doing that, Billy noticed that the mana level of the area had increased a lot… maybe it was because many people were in the capital. Or perhaps it was because a lot of strong folks had shown up for the fight… the fact that numerous corpses of enemies were around the barrier could also be a factor… Regardless, Billy could use that in his favor.
After a while, the sun finally began to rise. Despite the fact that many fought over the night, few people actually looked tired. They have been trained well, and with the skills that they obtained over the last few months, thanks to Billy's group training, they could endure a few more nights like that. Still, despite all that, most people couldn't help but flinch when they saw some massive armies coming from all directions.
"Ah… this might be a bit problematic," The death spirit said.
"What do you mean by that?" Billy asked.
Billy didn't bother to check the enemies since they were coming on foot, but once he heard that, he decided to take a peak, and then he realized what the death spirit meant… the enemies walking were humans. Humans from that world that had been killed overnight. Hundreds of thousands of them… they were zombies.
"Hey! Billy!" Meryl should. "... You have to see this."
"I already saw it… Unlike you, Uvish has no qualm in using that skill," Billy said when he jumped into the garden. "We have to split our forces, or fighting other humans will demoralize our troops. It will be even worse if people begin to recognize their friends and families there."
"Right… The zombie demi-humans will probably take a while to come. In the meantime, we should fight these ones," Meryl said. "Can you two help me with this?"
"Right," Lucyna said.
"Of course," Icarus nodded.
"By the way, did you bring those rare species of monsters and the demi-humans?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, but they are hidden since most of them are too young to fight… Including that guy," Meryl said.
"Is that so…" Billy said. "I suppose that is for the best. Regardless, I will ask my father and Jean to help with that, and we don't have much time."
They nodded once again and began to work. Billy talked with Jean and Drew to smooth things over on the frontline, and then he returned to his own activities. Still, he had to stop because he could feel the presence of his kids moving. They had woken up… He had strengthened the walls of his home to let them sleep, but now they will wake up and get spooked due to the war. Billy considered putting them to sleep with magic.
"I guess I can't do that… They have been training a lot, and while I don't intend to make them fight, I can't not recognize their mental and physical strength," Billy thought.
Billy went to talk with his kids and convince them to stay inside. Fortunately, Anna was with them, so he had someone trustworthy to watch over them.
"You three should stay at home today," Billy said. "Some bad guys are trying to come, and we are going to fight to protect our home. In the meantime, you will watch our house."
