Before he could move too far away, Uvish kicked Billy in the stomach and sent him down even faster. The land began to split thanks to the impact… they were also destroying that world, but Billy didn't have much room to think about that. He got up while vomiting some blood…
Billy had some ideas in that situation, but most of them were too dangerous and would cost too much mana. To make things as efficient as possible, Billy decides to combine the latest skills he developed and then improve them.
When Uvish approached to attack him again, Billy grabbed the enemy's claw with his right hand and stopped the attack. Uvish saw his claw crumbling away to dust for some reason, and then, with his other hand, Billy punched him… his fist easily passed through the husk that protected his body and pierced his stomach a bit as well. For some odd reason, Billy stopped there, and just like him, Uvish saw him with a pained expression on his face.
Uvish saw that dark-purple aura around Billy's body… before, he only used the magic arms away from his body. Still, now to save mana, he decreased its range and used it around his arms. However, that technique wasn't that stable, and it became even more dangerous when it was used close to its own source of mana, and that was Billy.
The technique was deactivated for a moment, and then Billy pulled away his arm, and both of them saw that he had lost some fingers of his hand. There was no sign of wounds, and it looked like all the matter up to the point of his hands had disappeared, and it was where his fingers were supposed to be.
In that short window of time, Uvish opened his mouth and fired a massive blast of mana that sent Billy flying in the distance. After a couple of seconds, massive rocks began to fall from the ground, and the dust caused by the attack began to disperse, revealing a massive fissure that practically erased twenty percent of the largest continent of that world. Uvish didn't hold back, and that was the result… Still, he could feel that Billy was still alive.
"That fuckings maggot… how resilient he can be?" Uvish asked.
Uvish didn't see it when it happened, but by using Temporal Vision, he had the chance to see things again. Billy covered his entire body with that aura to survive the attack. He has still pushed away for who knows how many kilometers, but the blast didn't damage him.
"So annoyingly resilient… what should I do to kill him once and for all?" Uvish asked.
That transformation also increased Uvish's magic powers as well, but all that was useless if he didn't make a clean hit. Now that Billy improved the magic arms to be used like armor, the efficiency improved by leaps and bounds. It came with a price, but from the Ucish perspective, all prices to pay to obtain power were negligible.
Billy got up on the other side of the world while seeing an endless sea of destruction. He got up feeling like his aura had damaged him again, and he could see that a part of his shoulder had disappeared, and he could see some bones and muscles. He tried to heal that, but he failed.
"You can't heal that because your body doesn't recognize it as a wound… that part of your body was simply moved to another dimension," The time spirit said.
Billy sighed… it hurt like hell, and so it was supposed to be a wound. There were supposed to be other ways to deal with that, but Billy couldn't try them right now and was in the middle of a battle. Hopefully, the spirit of life would be able to help him with that since he caused a lot of damage to his own body. Transformed or not.
"I should move the layer a bit further away from my body and make it thinner in order to save mana and prevent damage," Billy thought. "He will see the layer, but it can't be helped."
All of a sudden, Uvish appeared in front of Billy and then kicked him with all his might. Even though he made his barrier block the attack, he still was sent upward, and then a portal appeared on his path…
Billy tried to escape from that portal, but there was a side effect of enveloping his body with the magic arms like that… he couldn't make his own mana pass through the layer. Thanks to that, he crossed the portal and ended up finding himself in the middle of a planet of fire and lava.
Billy wasn't suffering due to the environment, thanks to his new magic shield. Still, the air and the atmosphere were vibrating so much that he was certain that he couldn't live there for more than a few minutes under normal conditions… it was even worse with that body that he was using.
Suddenly, the ground began to crack, and several fissures appeared on it, which made lava be spill from the ground. It looked like dozens of fountains of magma suddenly emerged, and they kept doing that until they created several lava lakes. In that region, Billy began to fly to escape that since any damage that his magic barrier takes, his mana pool will decrease in size.
Eventually, Uvish showed up as well. After all, he wouldn't send Billy to such a place knowing that he could escape by himself… he did that to gain some advantage of the terrain. Uvish knew that Billy's magic barrier was annoying, but it wasn't omnipotent. Even places like that could make it grow weaker, and once that happens, the environment will kill him if Uvish doesn't do that first.
"This planet is about to collapse…" The time spirit said. "You only have a few minutes left, and neither of you can escape the power caused by the end of the world."
