"We are returning," Billy said as he made everyone float using Telekinesis, including his dragon. "We have to destroy those islands before those islands are thrown against our cities. Don't hesitate, or things will get nasty."
Alexander, Natalie, Totaic, and Luso froze when they heard that. The islands were easily two kilometers wide… They could bury most towns with their size alone, but the shockwave caused by the fall would make sure that no one would have the chance to survive that. Unfortunately, the islands had already left the stratosphere, so what everyone could do was limited now…
Billy increased the speed of his dragon with Acceleration Manipulation, and then when they collided against the first, they found a Mana Shield blocking their path.
"Now this…" Billy said and then jumped to cross the Mana Shield.
Thanks to his Personal Domain, a barrier of that couldn't stop him. So, he flew toward the pilot and froze him with the touch of his glaive. The shield and the island collapsed, but Billy returned on time.
"I need to warn the others to prepare for this…" Billy thought as he watched his home planet getting closer.
It seemed that Uvish didn't like the idea of ordinary humans gaining powers… It was hard to imagine since an army of humans of decent level could only be used against an army of decent level as well. Still, for some who had that cowardly nature, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Icarus, ready yourself because multiple floating islands are about to land on the planet," Billy said using Telepathy. "Use Galatea's relic or something to protect the cities and towns because even the debris will kill thousands."
"What? Floating islands?" Icarus asked.
"No time to explain," Billy said. "Tell the others to use their speed as well and use their powers to wipe out the attacks or send them back out of the stratosphere! I will try to see where they will fall, but I am not sure if I can see all of them while I fight!"
Icarus was confused. He was expecting an invasion, not a rain of floating islands, but he didn't have time to think about it. He had to act. In any case, the werewolf created dozens of clones, so dozens of islands were moving toward that planet. Using the frost wyvern, he managed to destroy ten of those before they finally began to enter the stratosphere… there were twenty-two remaining…
"Billy!" Alexander and Natalie.
"Wait a bit. Once we cross, things start to get bumpy again. You will be free to attack the islands," Billy said. "Try to make them fall away from the populated areas."
It will be faster if they approach using the frost wyvern because then they could use the speed in their favor. In any case, Billy made them fly toward some of the islands once they began to cross the stratosphere. Fortunately, the clones were aware that Billy was chasing them, so they couldn't spread around and target many places all over the world. Still, they targeted the human continent, which had a lot more targets to find.
While flying, Alexander and Natalie began to furiously attack the nearby islands, and choosing where they should go was easy because they were near the western coast of Hiloh state. They were pretty close to home, so it was another reason they couldn't fail.
It didn't take long for them, equipped with their armor, to pierce the mana shield that the enemies deployed, and without holding back, they killed them. Using their mana, they fired a powerful gust of wind that made the debris move to the west and head toward the ocean.
Billy had recovered some mana along the way by sacrificing the experience of some useless skills. With that mana, he used Telekinesis to move control islands. With enough mana to summon another frost wyvern, he controlled two of them and forced them to above the sea. After that, he made them collide against each other.
The impact had been powerful enough to destroy the Mana Shields around and smash them islands against each other. Billy also received some notifications of experience, and that confirmed that the clones had died. Still, the others quickly approached the cities and towns, and Billy had to stop and tell Icarus and the others where the islands would fall. They were targetting the capitals of the western side of the human continent…
When the first one approached, Billy used Telekinesis to hold back the island, and when he was about to stop the impact, a barrier suddenly appeared around Aura's capital… Billy used that chance to send the island flying to the distance with the help of gravity manipulation. That one collided against a mountain and fell into pieces as well.
Billy saw some others falling in the middle of lakes and cultivation fields… it was a pity that such a thing happened. Still, the damage would be minimal and could be recovered… Alexander and Natalie did their bests.
All of a sudden, another city was targeted, and a powerful arrow hit one of the islands, making the whole thing fall apart. To prevent the debris from destroying other things, Meryl and her skeleton archers fired numerous arrows to stop them.
When Billy headed to stop one that would fall Neles state capital, he saw a massive and thick Earth pillar rising from the ground and then halting the whole thing. He sensed Sarah and Kate's mana at work. In some other places, Billy also felt the mana of many at work. It seemed that the students of his friends worked together and even managed to protect their cities after they had been warned. Billy sighed in relief when he saw the last five of them trying to run away since it was clear that they would fail…
"No, no. I don't think so…" Billy said and then used Telekinesis on the islands to make them land.
