I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 788: Intentions

Uvish smiled and then flew toward Billy. All of a sudden, he disappeared, and Billy erected his anti-magic barrier. However, Uvish still grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground before he punched the air and made the shockwave smash his face. All of that happened in less than 0.1 seconds, so Billy didn't have much time to work with. Regardless, his defense was solid for the surprises, so the damage he suffered wasn't lethal…         

    

Uvish began to spin around, and from his position, several shockwaves in the shape of Blades flew toward Billy. He could even use his wings to attack like that… It was a powerful technique that barely used any energy. It was truly troublesome, but he was improving in the middle of the battle as well.     

Billy dodged those by enhancing his legs with stamina and jumping from one point to another. Blocking wasn't an option when the attacks opened thin fissures on the Earth that were hundreds of meters deep.     

"I should have developed more techniques while I was mastering their powers…" Billy thought.     

Countering was an option, but the enemy was probably waiting for that. Using complicated techniques and spells would be difficult in that situation. Billy had to be creative, just like before, to get some openings and change the flow of the battle.     

Billy recalled the techniques that he had learned when he was with the samurai, and then he stopped moving. When the next wave of attacks came, he only moved to the side slightly and dodged the attack. Not completely. His left shoulder was scratched and began to bleed, but that sharpened his focus, and the next ones missed Billy completely, and he barely used any energy. He only watched the enemy and predicted his attacks.     

While he dodged, Billy prepared his own punch. Concentrating a lot of energy on his right hand and legs… When he finished his preparations, he jumped toward the enemy and punched his face. However, Uvish blocked with the husk that covered his arms. The husk began to crack but soon repaired itself…     

"How troublesome…" Billy thought.     

Uvish spun and kicked Billy in the gut, making him fly to the distance, and then he rolled on the ground leaving a path of destruction. As if he got tired of long ranged attacks, Uvish approached insanely fast and, before Billy could stop and kicked him to the sky.     

While in mid-air and as if he was treating Billy like a tennis ball, Uvish began to punch Billy from one side to the other. Billy started to feel his bones cracking and the taste of blood in his mouth. Still, in that situation, he had a crazy idea…     

Billy used his Fierce Aura. Uvish noticed that, but it barely increased his defensive power. With that in mind, he kept attacking until he noticed that Billy suddenly stopped taking damage. At the very moment he got surprised and confused, Billy made the skill explode and sent back to the enemy all the power of his punches.     

Uvish body began to get hurt, and his husk began to crack and fall into pieces in several spots before he was sent flying to the distance. Even Billy was surprised that he pulled that off on the first try…     

"Let's call it: delayed reflection," Billy thought.     

Billy used Reflect, but instead of sending the enemy energy right back at him, he waited and let the energy accumulate. It required a lot of focus and even more mana than usual to keep the damage stored and before being reflected, but it was useful, nonetheless.     

Eventually, Uvish recovered from the damage, and he stopped in the air. While the husk was repairing itself, he tried to understand what Billy did. It seemed like a counter but a lot different from what he remembered that he could do…     

"He is too dangerous… I need to finish him quickly, but he has good instincts to know what I will do that soon, and he will use his new Counter," Uvish thought. "That will be dangerous for me…"     

Uvish couldn't help but be annoyed at Billy. It wasn't the first time that he came up with a new technique to counter his attacks, after all. Regardless, Uvish couldn't let his anger get the better of him all the time. With that in mind, he looked at the claws on his hands and made them grow sharper.     

In the distance, Billy felt his instincts warn him of the danger… it seemed that Uvish was going to prepare something big soon enough to take his life. Billy wished that he could use Delayed Counter all the time from now on, but he truly couldn't, and he wasn't recovering his mana fast enough for that. Before he could prepare for the next attack, the enemy suddenly appeared in front of him and slashed his claws…     

Uvish began to trust his claws at Billy's face, but their speed seemed weird. Billy could see all of them, so he managed to dodge them while he moved backward. Unfortunately, Uvish kept following him.     

"He wants me to waste all my mana, or he might want to see again how that skill works," Billy thought.     

Billy thought for a moment about how he could handle that. When he didn't activate his shield, Uvish saw that and then attacked his head faster, and while he dodged to the side to escape, the claw still cut his cheek and a good part of his right ear. That wasn't his body, so he wasn't much worried about the damage… still, he couldn't sustain much of that. He managed to survive for a few months in that dimension because time moved differently there, but now he wouldn't last for long on that frail body. Billy was mentally and physically tired, and he was also thirsty and hungry…     

When Billy sighed, Uvish joined both of his hands and pointed his palms at him before firing a combination of dark and light magic at Billy. Still, he used Reflect and sent it right back to the enemy. Uvish opened a portal and made the attack appear behind Billy, but he just moved down to dodge it…
