I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 790: Delayed Absolute Counter

Uvish didn't seem to be in a hurry to start fighting, and he just wanted to make sure that Billy would be there when the planet went kaboom. In any case, now that they had a time limit, they didn't have much time to think about what they could do in order to deal with the other, and thanks to that, Uvish had the upper hand, even more than before.     

"It seems that you have finally come to the terms that despite the difference in powers, you need something like this to face me," Billy said. "Does it hurt? Your pride?"     

"No… thanks to you, I have felt once how pleasant it is to grow stronger while facing adequate enemies," Uvish said. "I suppose I grew too used to using underhanded methods to gain power."     

"Well, it is a pity that you understood that too late, and despite that, you will still lose," Billy said and then flew toward the enemy.     

In a single instant, Billy entered the range to attack the enemy. However, Uvish moved in the opposite direction and then fired another blast of mana toward Billy. Once again, the massive attack pushed Billy away…     

Billy clicked his tongue in annoyance… the enemy knew the best method to deal with Billy using his vast amounts of mana. Just using those blasts and keeping a distance would not only keep himself safe, but it also would wear out Billy's mana pool. Billy only had ten percent of what he amassed to the battle with the help of the spirits. Meanwhile, Uvish didn't use even ten percent of what he could use…     

Every time Uvish used that blast, more parts of the world began to explode, and more lava emerged from the ground. It was getting harder and harder seeing any point that one could land without burning their feet… With that in mind, Billy stopped charging for a short while. He needed to use his head again, and he infused some mana on his cortex to help with that.     

"My options are: try to drain some mana from those attacks, reflect them, or simply ignore and move to his back using a portal," Billy thought. "Those were also what Uvish expects me to do…"     

Billy needed an option that was different from all of those, but it was hard to think about it… while Uvish could use that blast from his mouth, he also could make the mana explode from his skin and push everything away in all directions… an explosion like that probably will hasten the destruction of that world for a few minutes as well. While looking at his hands, Billy sighed… in the end. He could only be reckless to surprise the enemy.     

"Let the enemy cut my flesh while I break his bones…" Billy thought, and then he deactivated his magic barrier.     

Uvish frowned when he saw that. In the end, he realized Billy had made up his mind and decided to be greedy. While flying toward him with his hands ready to block and absorb some of the attacks, Uvish's expression darkened. It was hard to say if Billy had lost his mind, but that method was nothing but insanity…     

Uvish fired the massive blast with his mouth, and then Billy tried to block those with his hands. As one would expect, the energy pushed him away since even his barrier couldn't take all that power directly. Billy's hands began to burn until they got so red and inflamed that Billy began to feel the smell of his own flesh burning, but he kept going…     

When the attack finally ended, Uvish saw Billy floating in the distance with his red and burned arms down. He couldn't even raise them, and his breathing was haggard… as expected, he paid the price for his greed, and he couldn't even heal them anymore. Still, despite that, Uvish knew that he couldn't drop his guard, so he used that spell once again.     

Billy used the same strategy, and in the end, the power of the attacks made him lose everything below his elbows when he tried that for the third time. Still, he smirked in the end, and Uvish felt a shiver.     

"Delayed… Absolute Counter," Billy said.     

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Uvish screamed from the depths of his soul.     

Billy used his Delayed Counter with the power of Time Skip, and then Uvish felt his arms burning. To make that possible, Billy couldn't use any barrier, and he had to endure the pain while he was using Reflect on his own flesh to make the enemy feel all that at once. He used Time Skip, and Uvish never had the chance to dodge it because it was impossible…     

Uvish trembled while his arm was falling apart after burning due to all the Reflected damage. Billy truly wished that he could restore his limbs… he was getting worried since he was forced to try that much.     

While trembling when the effect ended, Uvish glared at Billy. He should choose an emotion and stick with it. Getting angry, getting calm, getting angry again… it felt like he had multiple personalities. Unlike Billy, who could barely Regen his damaged body since it was at its limits, Uvish began to heal his arms pretty fast, but that didn't help him grow less angry.     

"You will pay for this… you will pay for this!" Uvish shouted from the bottom of his soul.     

Everything began to tremble as if the whole world was answering to his anger. Multiple eruptions started to happen, and the mountains that were still standing began to explode. That was probably a coincidence since Billy couldn't feel any mana in that world. Regardless, that sure made the situation look even crazier… to add to that, Uvish began to mutate again. Instead of a humanoid demon lord, he transformed into something far bigger, even from the dragons that Billy saw.
