Billy's notion of time in that world was deviating quite fast. After the first twenty-four hours, he could no longer tell how fast the time was passing. Not to mention, he couldn't find any signs of food, and he had to make his own water… things were getting real dangerous quick.
"Fucking coward… you have so much power, and yet you decided to retort to this kind of cheap tactic," Billy said while furrowing his eyebrows. "Let's memorize this for future reference."
Putting jokes aside, Billy truly was feeling like he was running out of time. While his last attack sure got Zenis, he wasn't done. Moreover, he won't fall for the same trick again. Billy needed a new strategy, and he would need to think of a way to contain the enemy's thoughts once he got those powers. The number of problems doesn't decrease no matter what he does…
Since moving around wasn't helping, Billy decided to stop and use his head while he meditated. One problem at a time… First of all, how to return home. He tried to learn space magic, but he failed before. He didn't even know the basics yet, and he certainly wouldn't learn how to open portals in two or three days…
"Every five hundred years, the world faces a crisis… Considering this one here, I can assume that the crisis comes from beyond that world. Does that mean that those words get closer or something?" Billy thought. "I thought that most worlds have to follow a trajectory over the period of their years… That world has a sun, and the sun didn't move away or got smaller, but what if others approach that one?"
Billy found it hard to believe that there existed beings that could control the trajectory of planets like that. Still, pretty much everything is possible when magic is available or when a civilization can develop before it can destroy itself.
"Gravity isn't a crazy mad bitch anymore nowadays, it seems…" Billy thought.
After thinking for a while, Billy decided that he had two options. Use his limited mana to try to learn space magic and conveniently bend space the way he wants or just cross the space with his armor. If his previous theory was correct, those two planets were close to each other at some point in the past for their inhabitants to wage war. Most likely, it was five hundred years ago since the further away Zenis sent him, the more mana he would use.
Also, considering his previous theory, if some people could move that world, the planet wouldn't be moving away or close to where his home was anymore… it was supposed to be rotating around the biggest start of that solar system.
"I honestly want to believe that… but I might end up dying in space…" Billy thought. "No food, with so much mana to use. The chances are pretty high."
Billy realized that his powers were only useful in worlds that had mana. He was thankful that he decided to extend his own strength without relying completely on the system. Regardless, for the second option to work, he had to confirm which direction he had to fly. It was like he would leave the atmosphere in the world and would see many others around with his eyes alone.
"Let's see… if I use Mana Dominion and then try to check how the girls are with the mirrors, I will manage to confirm which direction the flow of mana is heading. That will be my cue… probably," Billy thought.
Billy activated the spell, and then he used one of his mirrors to check things with Natalie. She was the frontline of those three, so she would always be, or at least most of the time, leading the others. While it took some time for the mirror to work, probably because of the distance between the planets, Billy managed to confirm the direction the mana moved to. Still, before he could fly in that direction, he saw Natalie, Icarus, and Alexander fighting Zenis… as usual, he was using only enough strength to give them a hard time.
"Fuck… am I too late?" Billy thought.
His body's condition didn't worsen that much, so Billy didn't think more than one or two days had passed, but as expected, his sense of time had deviated. Much to Billy's surprise, he didn't have to use too much mana to keep the mirror working, but it was hard to say if things were happening at that moment or if there was some sort of delay.
Eventually, Zenis got pissed and then decided to go all out by using gravity magic and then putting everyone down, but Natalie was too stubborn to fall. In the end, Zenis targetted her first.
"Son of a bitch… a quick death isn't a mercy that you will receive from me…" Billy said and then used Mana Shield on Natalie and Reflect at the same time.
While he used those reflexes, Billy didn't know if it would work. He never tried to use those skills at a distance… Despite that, things worked, and that asshole suffered a lot of damage before he was sent flying to the distance. Once that happened, Billy used Body Enhancement and Destructive Aura to the limits, and then he jumped with all his might.
"It is time to kill that bastard…" Billy thought when he began to leave the atmosphere of that world.
