776 Waiting for a long time
“To use the same method as him… You are indeed dangerous,” the time spirit said.
“As him? Uvish created this kind of barrier After throwing away his body?” Billy asked. “This isn’t something someone can pull it off and control in spirit form. Besides, why did he need my body if he could do this?”
“His technique was different… In a sense… He sealed our powers inside us,” the time spirit replied. “His technique also didn’t let him use his mana to increase his magic potential like you.”
Basically, Uvish just thought of creating something that would be easier for him to control others and increase his strength safely. That was his system… But now, with Billy’s developed technique, there wasn’t much need for that. Even with the incomplete version of the physical limit break, he could obtain fearsome results as well…
While the spirits were hesitating, Billy decided to attack. The spirit of order created a barrier in front of her, but that began to fall apart when Billy approached and was completely destroyed when he punched it.
The chaos spirit sent his clones, but they began to lose power once they crossed it. While rotating his fist, Billy punched one of them and created a horizontal tornado that hit all the others and sent them flying away.
“I can’t use much mana left, but I still have my physical attacks…” Billy thought.
The time spirit used his abilities to buff the speed of the others. While their authorities couldn’t be used inside Billy’s barrier, it would take a few seconds for them to lose their power once they crossed it. With that in mind, they charged at the same time as him…
Billy could use Reflect, but he would use too much mana, and it wouldn’t be that effective… In that short window of time, Billy had an idea and put it into practice. As usual, the time spirit began to punch him, but his speed was nowhere as crazy as before due to the barrier. Thanks to it, Billy managed to use Palm Cannon downward.
The attack caused a powerful shockwave that pushed away everyone, even Billy. Still, he was the one who suffered the least damage. All the others had their backs collided against the walls of the tower, creating even more cracks in it.
Billy landed on his feet on the ceiling of that floor, and before he could select a target to attack, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration… He finally managed to have an idea of how a physical limit break would be. Billy charged toward the most dangerous of the enemies and then used Rage, all the energy he obtained with Chi by enhancing the next attack with Stamina Manipulation and by focusing all the extra health with Blood Manipulation on his whole body… A powerful red aura began to emerge from his body upward and in a spiral.
“Oh, not bad… my anger is under control thanks to the demi ethereal form, but I can feel that all my strength increased tremendously,” Billy smirked. “I can tell that this is the perfect form of that skill…”
Billy got caught in the heat of the moment and lost his chance to continue his attack. Still, he gained something in exchange for that… something very valuable. Once again, the spirits noticed that something had changed in Billy, so they raised their guard. However, that had been useless…
Billy charged at the spirit of the time and began to punch him. While the spirit blocked the first two with his insane speed, the impact still sent him flying to the wall. Billy didn’t stop there, and while the enemy flinched, he punched him in quick succession. The wall began to fall apart, and Billy could see some space fissures appearing around. His attacks weren’t supposed to be able to cause that, so he assumed that it was because the dimension was suffering too much damage.
The other two tried to attack Billy, and while they managed to kick Billy from two sides and with all their might, they didn’t cause much damage. That technique made Billy’s whole body become a lot stronger. It was like he evolved Destructive Aura, and after making it reach the max level, he mixed with several other buffs…
In the end, Billy pushed them away by firing two Palm Cannons from both hands. The time spirit used that chance to attack Billy as fast as he could, but Billy ignored his punches and prepared a big one…. In the end, the time spirit used his powers to slow Billy’s time down.
Billy clenched his teeth while he agonized thanks to moving at such a slow speed… in the end, the time spirit moved away from him and checked his friends.
“Alright… you win,” the time spirit said, and then Billy returned to normal and punched the wall.
The impact blew away one of the sides of that floor, showing only darkness surrounding the tower. It also made the whole structure tremble. He frowned when he heard that… it was too suspicious since he really felt their killing intent before. Thanks to that, he didn’t drop his guard. However, the other spirits were too relaxed…
“You managed to obtain the strength to defeat us in the middle of the battle, even though just one of us could have defeated you at the start,” The time spirit said. “You probably can fight Uvish now, but winning still will be difficult.”
“Why did you suddenly change your way of talking?” Billy asked while frowning. “Don’t say bullshit like this was just a test or something.”
“Truth to be told, we decided to stop you and wait for another chance to defeat Uvish,” The time spirit said. “A long time ago, we made a pact with the life and death that they would send to us someone capable of defeating Uvish. Since that time, we have been waiting for that someone, but we didn’t expect you would come after falling into a trap and without any powers. We have been waiting for a very long time, so we have grown tired and impatient.”
