Using magic in a direct way to deal with Billy was possible. Still, Uvish decided to buy some time since he wanted to learn that spell and the trick behind Billy's strength as well. With that in mind, he raised his arms and summoned several meteors to rain over Billy.
Billy's magic arms punched those away while he chased the enemy. Uvish used Acceleration Manipulation to move away from him, but Billy did the same and caught up. Uvish fired a massive cannon of light, and Billy used the magic arms to block them as he approached. When he got close enough, he kicked the enemy's face, or he tried. Uvish grabbed Billy's leg and stopped the attack.
Uvish used all his might to smash the leg with both hands, but Billy ignored him and then punched Uvish's face. At first, he ignored it, but then he felt shivers when he felt the punch passing through his face thanks to Billy's ethereal body. He tried to move away, but Billy still had the chance to open a large cut on his left cheek.
"Ah… I am ruining my own face… this can't be good," Billy frowned.

He began to spam massive cannons of dark magic with his left hand and the same with light magic on his right. Even Billy couldn't help but assume an entirely defensive stance at that moment. Since he only wanted to use his own magic, after all.
While Billy was being pushed backward, he felt the enemy drawing a lot of mana from that world and strengthening himself. That was one of the problems of the magic limit break. When one has access to all the mana of a planet, they could become magically stronger and resistant like an entire world as well. Not even Billy knew if his body could withstand that much power all at once, but Uvish tried that anyway.
"You should start taking things more seriously now," the time spirit said.
"Says the guy who wants to spare the enemy that has been causing trouble for three thousand years," Billy said.
The time spirit couldn't reply to that. Still, despite his answer, Billy recognized that he needed to take things more seriously. While fighting without any help, he managed to win the round of physical skills only and the round of magical skills. Now Uvish had lost his head and only wanted to kill Billy no matter what.
While Billy was learning how to use the power of the spirits more effectively, he had some ideas. Aside from using Blood Manipulation, Rage, Chi, and Stamina Manipulation, to get a lot stronger, he thought of controlling all that power and directing it into a single parameter. He failed at doing that, but he learned how to use his stamina to increase one of his physical parameters to the limit. The trick was the same as when he used buffs, and he just had to use his stamina in those areas.
As for his new technique, he called it the void arms, and he thought of that when he tried to improve his magical limit break. Trying to overpower someone who had all the mana in the world literally wasn't impossible, but it was pretty stupid. Instead of doing that, he thought of a way to counter mana in all its forms. That was a bit more complicated to pull off since Billy had to open a fissure to another dimension where mana wasn't supposed to work…
It wasn't easy to pull off, but Billy learned, thanks to the spirit of chaos, that his power had that nature of creating havoc in all senses. Making things like wormholes was easy due to that. Still, Billy couldn't rely on the nature of that spirit to do that. So, he created his own method… he used raw mana and made it move around on a single point in large quantities until it began to damage space itself. At first, it was pretty unstable, but after some training, Billy managed to control it like it was his arms.
"I guess it is time to defeat him with everything that I have…" Billy thought.
Billy suddenly made his magical arms disappear, and then the attacks hit him. While they damaged his body, they soon were fired back at the enemy. Uvish noticed when the mana began to change in his direction, and he moved to the side. However, his left arm still was hit by a fraction of the attack and then got some severe burns.

For some odd reason, Uvish felt all the powers of the innate skills when the counter worked. While it was something that he originally developed with the spirits, he didn't think that all of them could be combined and work like that to counter magic.
Envy filled Uvish's heart… why does someone like that have to be more skilled than him… why does someone like that have to be more resourceful than him? If Billy were born in that world instead of him, could it be that he would have done a better job? Those questions only served to enrage him even more.
Uvish kept firing, attacking like that hoping that Billy would run out of mana eventually, but that never happened. Still, Billy only dodged a few of them and repelled most.
The enemy realized that Billy only dodged those who would hit that world if counterattacked. Even if it was a dead planet, Billy didn't want to cause its destruction during that fight. Uvish realized that and decided to use that against Billy.
All of a sudden, Uvish fired a beam of light toward his left side, and Billy frowned. However, soon he realized where he aimed at… it was their world. Billy sighed and scratched the back of his head.
"You really are a piece of shit…" Billy said. "If that attack had any chances of hitting that world and hurting my family, you would be chopped to pieces."
"Is that so?" Uvish asked.
