Chapter 441 Scum (4)

Chapter 441 Scum (4)　　 Ollen focused on that strategy, but Billy, with his senses and reaction time, dodged them all. However, when he tried to get close and attack him, a huge Earth spike emerged from the ground and almost impaled him. He, fortunately, blocked the surprise attack with bis bracers. The impact pushed him backward a little and made his bones tremble as well. It was dangerous...

"He is determined to not let me get closer… He is afraid of pain, but that isn't getting in the way of his actions," Billy thought.

Ollen was probably thinking that Billy couldn't do much aside from direct attacks and some special types of melee magic, so from a distance, there was nothing that he could fear. To make sure that would be the case, Ollen created a circle of fire around himself and then began to raise the temperature and the intensity of the flames… That couldn't be good.

"He is preparing an area of attack spell… He will probably destroy the whole castle to kill me," Billy thought. "Without magic, I can't block such an attack, and my armor will melt. I will probably survive since Fire Immunity leveled a lot thanks to the previous attack. However, I will reveal my face, but if I use magic, I still will reveal my identity…"

Billy was in a bind, and he didn't have much time to think of what to do. To make matters worse, he couldn't kill that son of a bitch, or he wouldn't get the answers that he wanted. Still, he had an idea… Billy assumed his offensive stance like he was about to use Palm Cannon, but then several boulders began to fall. He was forced to use Flash while he was charging his next attack. Even though he was a newbie when it came to fighting, Ollen wasn't stupid. Still, those attacks also slowed down the charge of his own spell, so Billy was fine with that.

Eventually, that came to a stop, and the flames got more intense. Suddenly, Ollen made them expand toward Billy, and then he used Palm Cannon and sent a blast of blast to block it. A single concentrated attack usually was the best option against an attack on a larger area. Still, only another explosion took place that destroyed the remaining parts of the castle in the end.

This time, Ollen predicted that something like that would happen, and he made several diamond walls appear in front of him to block the blast of the explosion. Once he made those disappear, he only saw a lake of melted rocks around him. The heat and the smell wouldn't be good for a human, but his body currently could withstand that. In any case, when the dust and the smoke began to dissipate, Ollen began to tremble… Billy still was standing in the same spot that he was before. His body was emitting some heat, but he still looked the same as before… that wasn't supposed to be possible.

"You… you aren't human," Ollen said.

Billy smirked when he heard that. The fool had no idea what had happened. He used the explosion to use magic without letting anyone see him. He hid in a hole as fast as he could, but the heat still got him quite a bit. Regardless, he returned pretty fast.

"What is going on here? Why do you gain power from being in this spot?" Billy asked. "You'd better spill the beans unless you want a serious beating."

Since the enemy was surprised, Billy decided to see if he could get some intel. He also needed some time to recover since his body was still too hot due to the heat of the previous attack. He was bullshiting Ollen to buy time. Still, he only saw that guy taking a single step backward, and then he recovered from the surprise.

At that same moment, Billy also noticed some changes in the mana around. It wasn't like it suddenly made Ollen stronger, but it certainly changed him somehow… So many weird things happening sure were annoying Billy.

"Who is helping you?" Billy asked while raising his voice. "It must be one hell of an asshole to help a piece of shit like you. Birds of a feather, after all."

Instead of answering, Ollen swung his sword nonstop toward Billy. He decided to overwhelm him with the sheer number of attacks since Billy couldn't move, and for whatever reason, he didn't have to use his own energy while he was there. As for Billy, he just blocked those blasts of energy with his bracers after enhancing them with mana. Thanks to that, he increased their durability and decreased the power of the impact.

At the same time, Billy slowly walked toward Ollen. He wanted to run and use Flash, but his whole body was burning. Suddenly increasing his speed like that surely would make things worse. Still, thanks to that, Ollen got nervous because it looked like Billy was strolling toward him like his attacks were useless.

"Even if you have outside help, you don't have the training and the experience to control that power," Billy said. "You are just a piece of shit that has access to a lot of mana for whatever reason. Still, you can't do anything aside from spreading destruction."

While swinging the sword, Ollen also made dome Earth spikes emerge toward Billy, but they were destroyed with a single punch of his. That was annoying since Billy was using a lot of mana to do that, but at least he could see that he was making Ollen a lot nervous.

"You are wasting my time. I will get the answers that I want," Billy said in one way or another. "The only thing that will change is the amount of pain that you will have to endure. Choose now!"

"HAAAAH! DIE! DIE! DIE!" Ollen shouted and then made dozens of Fireballs appear around him before firing them toward Billy.
