From what Billy had heard, the scorpions could be found from the first up to the third floor. There was another species in the fourth to sixth and another one on the seventh upward. Considering the pattern, everyone assumed that on the tenth floor, they would find a new species, but that wasn't their concern for the time being since no one even reached the ninth floor. Billy decided to think that the dungeon was divided into zones, the core was without a doubt, a sapient creature and it could do that kind of thing to make things better for itself... why such a creature could do that, he had no idea.
"While this is a good chance to get stronger, I suppose taking my time might be dangerous," Billy thought. "I will have to start drawing the map of that dungeon…"
There was another thing that Billy had to consider, Alexander won't come the next day. It will be Lily. Since she was a ranged fighter, he would have to change their attack pattern. Since she disliked crossbows, she won't use the one he gave her unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Well, it isn't like she needs one, and Alexander gave that bow to her, so she doesn't need to carry arrows," Billy thought.
Lily's power and speed were probably enough to pierce the head of those monsters, but doing that for hundreds of times… certainly will decrease her accuracy and power. Since Billy wanted to conserve his mana for the tunnels and to level up, he would have to fight up close. Not that it was a problem considering that he could level up a lot faster than before.
It has been a while since Billy used his skill points, and since he reached the three hundred mark, he decided to check the shop. Much to his surprise, there were some crazy skills there… Skills like all of the elemental creations, invisibility, and even healing… Well, a type of healing. Billy would be able to exchange mana for health. He could use it on others as well. Still, considering that exists some people that can use that, it seemed like a waste to use skill points of sixty levels to get.
"In any case, I never confirmed that, but it seems that this system already has some skills that I can obtain without seeing them," Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I wonder if Jeannette could use this system as well… She didn't look much like a gamer, though."
Considering her skill list, she probably didn't have. Still, it didn't make any sense for Billy to have and she did not… in the end, Billy forgot about that since he began to make faces with his kids. They didn't react much, though. In any case, the next day, Billy found an excited Lily and a nervous Alexander carrying Lara in his arms. It seemed that he was worried that he might fulfill his promise and tell her about Paule.
"You really can't tell a joke from a real statement," Billy said. "While I won't tell, the guilty will slowly eat away your conscience."
"What are you talking about?" Lily asked.
In the end, Alexander felt coerced to spill the beans. He wasn't scumbag enough to hide that fact for long, after all. Fortunately for him, Lily was understanding enough.
"If it was looking, then it is fine," Lily said.
"How lenient, if it were me…" Billy said.
"Be quiet, Billy. You already caused me enough trouble," Alexander said.
"Yout lack of control over your eyes is what caused your troubles this time," Billy said.
Without wasting more time, they departed to the dungeon. Lily's mood only improved more and more since she missed some action. Going to a dungeon every day was out of the question, but two times was a week wasn't so bad.
"She indeed has a big ass…" Lily said when she saw Paule for the first time. "And yet, you don't even try to look at it."
"I am a faithful man," Billy said.
"Your argument isn't convincing since you married twice," Lily said.
"It isn't my fault that I am popular," Billy said. "Regardless, we don't have time to waste. Let's head straight into the dungeon."
"All right, but do you mind letting me deal with the monsters in the beginning?" Lily asked. "I think I am a bit rusty, so I want to see how far we can go just by relying on my skills.
"I suppose that is fine, but I will intervene once we see that your accuracy has dropped," Billy said.
"That is fine with me," Lily said.
While Lily didn't skip her training in the last few months, she didn't push her limits, and she didn't have many chances to hit a living target as of late. So, it was only natural that she wanted to access at which level she was. Billy took his things to work on the map and get the materials for the monsters, and then to trouble him, Lily asked how they were used…
