I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 665 Zenis (9)

Billy kept charging at Zenis while swinging his glaive horizontally until the magic enhancement ran off. Once that happened, his attacks lost some punch, and Zenis used that chance to attack. He turned the blades on his arms into hammers and increased his speed beyond Billy could keep up and then tried to smash him from the sides.

Despite that, Billy used Reflect on the last moment and made Zenis feel his arms vibrating a lot. His bones also cracked a little, but they were instantly restored. Billy almost could see the enemy’s health being restored instantly. Actually, he could only feel.

“I guess I will have to blast him to smithereens somehow…” Billy thought.

Billy charged toward the enemy and decided to focus on speed to make good use of Physical Disturbance. With each of his strikes that were blocked, lightning bolts crossed the skies even though it was completely devoid of any clouds. The vibrations also made the nearby trees crack until they fell… Still, that strategy only worked for three strikes, when he felt his stamina decreasing, Zenis got pissed and used half of his Acceleration Manipulation power to hit Billy with a body slam.

In the next moment, Billy flew while making a powerful high pitching sound, and he only stopped after he hit the top of a mountain. The strike completely changed the environment and decreased the mountain’s height.

“Fuck… I can’t take much more of these…” Billy muttered when he felt his chest hurting like hell with each heartbeat.

Billy used Full-Heal to repair his broken bones, but they would need some time to return to normal. It was insane that the enemy could move much faster than Icarus… he probably knew how to mimic Time Skip as well relying solely on the other ability.

Usually, the enemy’s armor was supposed to be melting after moving that fast or at least emitting some smoke. Still, the magic mercury armor was completely fine due to its magic and physical nature.

“I guess I need to return to my previous strategy and slowly build some skills to defeat him… I can’t count on the others,” Billy thought while he was getting up. “They probably went to obtain the power of the dungeon cores, but that is too risky, and they aren’t skilled enough with magic. Even if they succeed by some miracle, it will take them too much time…”

Zenis was watching Billy from above as if he was trying to make him feel helpless. He would need a bit more than that to succeed. Still, it was a fact that the only thing Billy could do now was stall and his body was paying the price for that.

After considering all of his options, Billy concluded that his best shot would be to use all of his mana and try to steal one of the most valuable things in Zenis possession. Perhaps if he steals the core of the enemy’s armor, he will change the flow of the battle. Without that armor, he will be unable to completely nullify all sources of direct damage after all.

However, Billy was against that strategy. He was using his innate skills to make things a bit more even, but he had to stop that. If his hypothesis was correct, then not using those powers will at the very least delay the possession.

Not to mention, he needs to get used to that for the worst-case scenario… It had to be his last resort. With that in mind, Billy could only bet everything on a single strike. He couldn’t prepare for it. He had to act as soon as he had the chance in order to get Zenis with his guard down.

Billy charged toward the enemy again, and he increased the speed of his armor to the max. He also directed some of its mana to his glaive. That would decrease its use time, but it couldn’t be helped.

Zenis knew that it was useless, he still had the strength to spare, and he barely suffered a fraction of the damage that Billy did. So, he was starting to think that the fight was a waste of time… perhaps things would have been different if Billy had trained in that dungeon for one or two months, but he could only blame his rush for that.

Still, Zenis was thinking along the same lines as Billy, he had to finish things quickly. Otherwise, he would have too many chances to steal his mana and experience. In any case, when Billy approached to attack, he summoned some shields made of mercury and blocked the attacks with them. Before going all out, Zenis also needed some preparations.

As Billy chased the enemy, the shields got in his way and then slowed him down. He knew that Zenis was plotting something since he was keeping his distance and using those shields. He needed to do something fast… he didn’t like that his instincts were warning him of absolute danger. Just to be safe, Billy used Regen many times, but in the end… it didn’t help much.

All of a sudden, the world grew darker around Billy. He could barely feel anything at the moment. Still, he could feel that something extremely heavy crushed him… he didn’t even have the time to think about it or feel it properly…

As from Zenis’ perspective, his massive attack with a max speed made the entire atmosphere and even the world tremble… the space around him was vibrating due to the sheer amount of mana he used to reach the speed of light. Some small spatial fissured opened through the path he followed, and they were pulling him in, but Zenis closed them before that could happen.

In the distance, Zenis saw some mountains that were hit by Billy when he was sent flying. Now, they had a perfect hole in them, and it was kind of amusing that they weren’t collapsing… Since that happened, it was clear that Billy suffered the total damage of the attack. Still, despite that, Zenis didn’t receive the notifications he was waiting for…
