The spear crossed the dark sphere and eventually reached Zenis. He didn't have time to react to that because of the distance and all the power Billy infused on it. Before long, a massive explosion happened in the sky, and Billy was pushed backward.
Billy was almost used to getting his back almost smashed against the ground by now, so when he landed, he just grunted without complaining. At the same time, he quickly used his domain to absorb the mana around… he was certain that Zenis wasn't going to die after that. Still, he was certain that he got some damage, finally.
Since Billy had to throw his glaive as well for the effect of his domain to take place, he looked for it around. The explosion of the dark sphere could have destroyed the weapon, but Billy didn't believe in that, considering how much mana he had put on it.
Billy confirmed that when he saw the weapon falling from the sky, the mana had been spent, but the weapon was more or less intact. Unfortunately, Billy also felt the aura of Zenis in the sky, so he quickly recovered his weapon with Telekinesis. When the smoke in the sky began to dissipate, Billy saw Zenis flying there… around one-third of his torso had been destroyed, and his right arm was long one. He was bleeding a lot, but he was nowhere done for. His armor and body were also recovering incredibly fast.
"I aimed at his head, but in the end…" Billy thought while clenching his teeth.
He had to attack before the enemy could fully recover, but attacking a wounded beast carelessly might cause more problems than help. So, Billy had to be careful with his next steps. He will need at least five minutes to charge another attack of that level, a few fewer minutes if Zenis does something stupid…
Billy thought that Zenis would wait to recover first, but then he saw his expression changing into a pissed one, and then he pointed his left hand at him. Billy used Flash to the side in order to escape. Still, then a massive gravity field took over the area and made everything around sink fifty meters underground, Billy as well.
"What…" Billy thought while he was trying to move.
After using Gravity Manipulation and his own Personal Domain to counterattack, Billy failed because Zenis just used more mana to keep him on the spot… he didn't like that. He was literally a sitting duck, and that feeling of helplessness was absurdly unnerving. That feeling only worsened when a dark sphere that was distorting the space around appeared in front of him and began to pull Billy.
"Fuck!" Billy used all his mana to move away from that.
"I will deal with you once I obtain their powers… until then, wait patiently for your death," Zenis declared.
"In the end, you don't even have the balls to face me!" Billy shouted. "Someone like you will never win!"
"I will, I just to complete my death and time powers," Zenis said.
"Don't take it for granted something that was given to you by someone you don't know, asshole!" Billy shouted again when the gravitational field increased. "If you do something to them… I will torment you for all eternity!"
Billy tried to absorb the mana of the portal, but it was too much for him to get in a matter of seconds… in the end, he was pulled it by it and then left that world. At first, he thought that Zenis would send him to outer space to kill him with the lack of air or due to the radiation, but Billy could counter those with Mana Shield. Instead of that, Billy was sent to a dark world where he could only see shadows and a cloudy sky like no other.
"I… don't feel mana here…" Billy said while looking around, shocked.
Although Billy knew that Zenis wouldn't send him to a place easy to return to, he didn't think it would be another world where mana doesn't exist… when that is the case, how is it possible that he could connect both worlds? Not to mention, he couldn't understand why he knew about the existence of a such a place. Considering all things that he knew, he wasn't supposed to have time to check other worlds…
"I don't have time to think about this…" Billy said while looking around. "I can feel my mana, so I can use magic, and I need to use it to return as fast as possible. After he targets those three, he will target the rest of the world and my family and friends will be the first line of defense…"
Before anything, Billy confirmed that he could recover his mana naturally, but that was too much of a slow method. Before he finds a straightforward way to deal with that, he will have to rely on his stamina. His armor was repairing itself, but since it couldn't drain the mana from the surroundings, it couldn't move for too long. So, he decided to save the energy on it as well.
Unfortunately, Billy had no idea what to do… Or where to go. He couldn't use space magic, bend the space and create portals connecting two places like Zenis. That was probably something he learned in the last three years, but Billy didn't want to bet that he had more than three days to master and not enough mana to boot…
"Don't panic, don't panic… You have countless layers of defense at home," Billy thought. "Your wives are badasses, and they can fight someone like Zenis with the armors if they work together. There is also Alexander, Lily, and those three morons… More than enough power to keep Zenis busy… For a day or two. Shit..."
Billy knew that things will be pretty much gone once Zenis got Icarus power, so he had to hurry up since that guy wasn't smart enough to keep his distance from the enemy.
