Chapter 350 Unknown (9)
"It was something so simple… she is concentrating most of her energy on her lower body," Billy thought, and then he ended up getting kicked on his right side.
Natalie found something weird when she attacked because Billy's left arm blocked her kick and didn't move much, and unlike him, she quickly noticed that Billy's mana of Fierce Aura was there. Natalie knew that he would learn the trick sooner or later, but she didn't think it would be so fast… She got annoyed since it took weeks for her to think of that. Not to mention, implementing it was also something that she had to train for a while in order not to disrupt the whole skill... it was really troublesome and amazing that Billy could do that much so easily.
When Natalie tried to surprise Billy again, she was the one who got surprised. She attempted to run around him and attack when she saw an opening. Still, Billy easily followed her movements, even without moving from a single spot. She could no longer surprise him with speed, so she decided to change her tactics. She stopped moving around after she got closer to Billy and then changed the focus of her Fierce Aura to her upper half, more specifically, her arms…. When Billy tried to block the next punches, he did it in time, but he felt his bones vibrating due to the sheer power of those. He was pushed backward a little with each punch, and cracks appeared on the floor around his feet. Natalie was already physically strong and with the effects of specialized Fierce Aura, she become even more terrifying, keep blocking wasn't a good idea...
"With her level of Fierce Aura, and her current parameters, it seems that decreased by half the bonus in status on other parts of her body to make her strength receive boost five times larger than her Fierce Aura should be able to," Billy thought while he was hiding behind his blocks. "This is no easy feat…"
In any case, it was time to wake up and do something aside from being perplexed at the skills of his wife. Billy had only been a sandbag until now, so it was time for the counterattack. Billy thought that Magic Eyes would let him predict the next attacks coming from Natalie. Still, since most of her mana was concentrated on her hands, it was hard to see that. So, he tried to do something different. He focused his mana on the iris of his eyes. Something happened, but not quite something that he had expected, it still was pretty helpful, though.
You have learned Hawkeye.
Hawkeye: it improves your eyesight by ten percent per level while granting you the power to see far away objects more clearly and see much smaller movements with precision.
It was barely noticeable, but Billy began to notice small movements on Natalie's body upon learning that skill. It wasn't enough to help him that much since their speeds were basically the same, but after that skill leveled up a few times, Billy began to predict the next attacks.
When Natalie tried to punch his left side, Billy moved her fist away, making her miss. After a while, when she aimed at his Solar plexus, Billy slapped her first away. Eventually, even before her fists could reach the halfway point of her target, Billy punched her fist, and both of them canceled each other. Natalie was speechless. That kind of reaction speed was just too shocking… Still, she didn't show that on her face while they were trying to overpower each other.
Natalie used her left hand since her right one was busy, but Billy also stopped that attack. In the end, they stayed in the center of the ring, fist against fist, while the floor around them was cracking. Natalie bit her lips in annoyance. Since Billy could respond to her strategy that fast, he could do more as well. Still, he wasn't taking the initiative… Or so Natalie thought. Billy opened his fists and then grabbed Natalie's. He began to spin around in the next moment while holding her arms. Natalie tried to resist since she knew that Billy would throw her out of the ring at that rate. With all her might, she kicked the floor and then made a huge piece of rock hit his stomach. That slowed Billy down a bit, but she tossed her upward in the end.
Billy's original plan was to make her spin a lot in the air. Still, naturally, Natalie didn't make things easier for him. In the blink of an eye, Natalie was a lot higher than the Coliseum, and while she panicked at first when she began to fall, she saw Billy preparing his next attack. It was the same stance he used against Svan and Alexander, so she was going to see his best attack. However, in her current situation, it might not be one of the best ideas…
Despite the danger, Natalie began to focus all of her power when she began to fall. She never tried to do that since she knew that it would be pretty painful… Still, she used all of her abilities to strengthen a single punch. She knew that it would hurt more emotionally for both of them to attack each other like that than physically. Still, she had to fight Billy seriously at least once… that was something that only someone who fought enemies up close could understand completely.
As she approached the ring again, Natalie noticed that Billy wasn't joking around. The ring was trembling, and even his body was completely red due to the strain of the next attack… She also could feel something similar on her right arm, but even so, she didn't back down. At the last moment, they ended up punching each other with their best attacks. Billy had decided that nothing dangerous would happen to them, and it was time to implement his plan.
