BXBX NOVEL Chapter 685 Culprit (2)
That being said, Zenis was still dizzy due to the last attack, so only the armor was on the way. At point blank range again, Billy used Gungnir, and while his glaive finally broke into pieces, the enemy’s armor was half blown away. It seemed that it only increased its size out of instinct to scare Billy.
Billy decided to use his punches to solve things, but Zenis kicked him in the stomach and sent him away. While spinning in the air, Billy spat a mouthful of blood and used Full Heal to help him a bit while his health was back to full. The conditions of his body were still critical. He had lost too much blood…
Fortunately, Zenis wasn’t in a much better condition since his rage let him get hit many times. Moreover, it didn’t look like he was completely healed from the injuries he got in the first fight, so he was having a hard time standing up.
Those two stared at each other for a short while, trying to recover as much as possible in that short window of time. Both of them had to finish things on the next strike before the others joined the fight. Billy knew that Zenis couldn’t defeat his wives, friends, and Icarus’ group in his condition, but if he is killed… On the other hand, Zenis knew that he had to kill Billy to obtain chances of future survival.
“I need to save some energy for later, but I can’t see how I can afford that in this condition…” Billy thought. “Here goes nothing…”
Billy used all his remaining energy on Destructive Aura and Body Enhancement before charging toward the enemy. Zenis also forced himself to assume a fighting stance, but in the end, he just thrust the swords into Billy’s face. While the weapons pierced his hands deeply, Billy just punched them away.
When he got in the range, he tried to punch Zenis with all his might. However, Zenis dropped the swords and enhanced his armor around his fists to punch him as well. A counter was what he needed in the next moment… Still, despite their preparations, they ended up punching each other in the face. Both impacts made the area tremble and caused a powerful shockwaves that destroyed the grounds behind them. The massive holes almost marked the signs of the end of the battle since, after that, they fell to the ground unconscious.
Unfortunately, the first one to recover had been Zenis. The special skill of his tribe really comes in handy in situations like that. His body began to recover from the dungeon insanely fast. However…
“Hehehe, hahahahhahaahha!” Zenis laughed maniacally. “This is it. This is how things should be.”
Zenis’ aura changed just like his attitude. He almost looked like another person… While he showed some changes in the last few days, his current attitude was way beyond how he acted before or during the fights.
“Let’s end this already…” Zenis said.
Zenis tried to summon a giant sword using his armor, but the armor was barely expanding… It had finally reached its limits. Regardless, he could just smash Billy’s head with a single kick, so he planned that. However, when he kicked him, Billy stopped the attack with his right hand.
“You finally showed up…” Billy said and then used his Personal Domain.
Zenis panicked since it seemed that Billy had been waiting for that. Moreover, his Personal Field was sucking his mana insanely fast… It was probably because of the last punch…
“You little…” Zenis said.
“You ran out of patience since you were unable to take over Zenis’ body normally,” Billy said. “So, you waited until he was completely unconscious… I wonder if you had planned that he would be your real body from the beginning. With that kind of skill, it would be hard to lose such a convenient vessel.”
Billy’s grip strength on the enemy’s feet increased as he was getting up. The one controlling Zenis’ body tried to kick him with the other, but it didn’t work. Even in that state, Billy blocked the attack with his left arm, even though it hurt a little. Moreover, the enemy’s strength wasn’t at its peak yet.
Billy won against Zenis… more or less. So, he could throw away his pride and use his innate skills on that guy. However, when he tried, he found a lot more resistance than before. He was expecting something like that since such a person was probably the one who gave them those powers, but even so…
“While you had one of the powers of Order, I never bet much on you, but I suppose that was a mistake on my part,” The one controlling Zenis said. “My control over this body isn’t perfected yet, so I will let you win this time.”
“Don’t make me laugh, you asshole,” Billy said. “You don’t stand a chance against me now since you can’t use your other powers on that body, can you? I will finish this here and now!”
Some sort of energy left Zenis’ body… Billy thought that his domain could absorb that, but it didn’t work… that wasn’t mana. It was something else… in any case, to think that the guy behind all that would run away so readily without even putting up a fight…
“I am not in a hurry, I have been working for three thousand years, so I can wait for a few more…” The spectral thing said. “My name is Uvish, and I am the first ruler of this world. Earthling, I will give you the right to rule in my stead for a short while. You will soon come to understand that my job was beyond your capacity. Once that happens, I will return to take what is mine by right.”
