Chapter 775 Metamorphosis

Before Billy could continue the attack, the order spirit smashed him to the side with a massive hammer of light. Billy wondered how that magic could cause so much physical damage. Still, he soon had to forget about when the time spirit attacked him again. This time, Billy felt his whole body getting crushed by punches and kicks. Before long, he fell to his knees… completely dizzy.

“That is all you can do? The only thing endless on you is your arrogance?” The chaos spirit asked.

Billy recovered his senses to hear those words. He started to wonder if he truly was being reckless, he didn’t know how long he had been here, but he didn’t recover even one-fourth of his strength. So, he was getting his ass kicked by the spirits that were defeated by Uvish time and time again despite their powers. If he couldn’t beat them, how could he defeat Uvish?

Despite the situation, the spirits allowed Billy to get up before attacking. Although they were fighting three against one, they had some notion of fair play. In the next moment, Billy deactivated his Personal Domain, and that made the spirits frown since he could get a lot of mana when they attacked. That was most likely the only way for him to catch up with them, so his thoughts were weird.

Still, Billy’s light blue aura was still there, and his body was almost completely ethereal like theirs. They knew that Billy could pass through things and his magic attacks grew stronger, but that wouldn’t be enough against them. Moreover, instead of attacking, Billy just closed his eyes.

The spirit of the time knew what he was plotting, so the chaos spirit was the one who paid the price when he dashed toward him. Billy didn’t move a single inch from the beginning until the enemy spear touched his body. His speed suddenly increased, and then Billy punched the chaos spirit.

The enemy spun in the air until he hit the wall of the tower, and finally, some cracks appeared on it. When the other two saw that, they looked a bit surprised. Billy wasn’t supposed to be that strong…

“What? You look so surprised. Can’t you see the future?” Billy asked while smirking.

The time spirit truly looked surprised. That wasn’t the future he saw, after all. He saw a future where Billy used to Reflect on the enemy. The time spirit used his ability again, and then he saw Billy attacking the order spirit with a kick in the neck. Unfortunately, a few seconds later, when she fired her light spears again, Billy dodged to the side and used a super-enhanced Palm Cannon.

At that point in time, the time spirit didn’t know what to do. However, when he kept using Temporal Vision, he eventually realized what was going on. At one point, Billy kept thinking and was determined to do one thing, but then the future would change, and then he might do four others. He changed his thoughts and decisions at the very last moment. The reason for why that strategy worked was because the time spirit couldn’t fight and use that skill at the same time.

“Tsk, so you already know the trick,” Billy said. “That is why I dislike seeing the future, and it splits too much just with a single thought in an instant.”

Before the chaos and the time spirit could recover, Billy dashed toward the order spirit. She created a wall of light, and Billy was forced to stop after colliding with that. In the next moment, the time spirit attacked him. Still, before he could start his own sequence of hits, the first punch was reflected back at his face, and he was pushed backward for several meters.

“I can’t get careless, the chaos spirit recovered, and the time spirit will no longer underestimate me…”Billy thought.

Billy wondered if he should make some copies to buy time. It wasn’t impossible to take them out instantly, but he would need some time to prepare for it. Unfortunately, he won’t fool the spirits unless he distributes his mana evenly. Even if he does that, perhaps he won’t…

In any case, Billy had to hurry up because the spirit of order could take his experience and use his mana even without touching him. That was really annoying, but considering that the spirits had created that place, their rules applied.

“Their rulers…” Billy thought.

As usual, Billy had an idea, and as usual, it was a pretty risky one. If he messes up, then dying probably will be his destiny… still, Billy couldn’t see any other solution to that mess, so he decided to take his chances…

Billy used eighty percent of the mana on his body to create a barrier that was similar to the one at his home. However, unlike the others, this one was specially made to drain mana from the environment and negate the power of the spirits. He once had and used their powers for a while, so he knew how most of them could work, even though he couldn’t replicate those by himself yet.

Billy basically created a domain where no one could use those special skills, not even himself. While the domain was only five meters in radius and followed him everywhere, it was more than enough. The spirit of time slowly moved away from Billy for the first time.

“I must thank you guys and Zenis for teaching me how to do this… It is really convenient,” Billy said. “You guys can do the same and increase the range of your domains. I can wait.”

From the enemy’s perspective, Billy was getting cocky. However, they also knew that Billy just made things a lot more difficult for them. Even if it is only for a while and within a certain range of him, they will become a lot more vulnerable… It was basically the same technique that Uvish used to defeat them for the first time. He became something similar to a spirit and then nullified their abilities…
