I Can Make Everything Level UP

When Icarus, Alexander, and Natalie saw what had happened, they couldn't help but show darkened expressions. Zenis sure knew how to make his enemies despair… they just survived one heck of an ordeal and now they had to endure something two times worse. Moreover, they did their best and used all of their energy to stop those thirty hydras…

"Focus on the enemy ahead. They can handle that much," Natalie declared once she recovered.

Alexander and Icarus nodded. They knew that the battle would be hard anyway, so something like that was within their expectations. In any case, Icarus managed to clear his head enough to have an idea. He still didn't know how Billy surpassed the enemy's defense, but he came up with something that could help them a bit.

Icarus touched them in the shoulder and then passed some of his core's mana to theirs. Controlling mana now was easy when he had that much. Nevertheless, he increased their speed as well, so that would make things more interesting for them, which made Zenis furrow his eyebrow once he realized what had happened.

"This will make you guys move faster for a while," Icarus said. "Let's try to keep him busy until the others come to help."

Icarus and Natalie nodded. They could feel a lot stronger than before, so their confidence increased. All of a sudden, Natalie charged, and then Zenis blocked her charge with a shield of mercury. However, he was pushed backward for several meters when she used Swift Strike. She already had the power, to begin with, and now that speed only added to that…

When Zenis finally stopped, Icarus showed up and then targetted his neck; at the same time, Alexander appeared behind the enemy. Zenis' shield reacted fast enough to block their attacks, but the impacts still annoyed the heck out of him.

Zenis suddenly summoned a round saw around him, and while making it spin as fast as possible, he targetted Natalie, she blocked the charge with her sword, but she couldn't move further away from it. Alexander and Icarus couldn't get close thanks to the saw. Still, Alexander used Gungnir and the beam of energy flew toward the enemy's head, but he dodged to the side at the last moment. The attack ended up beheading five heads of a nearby hydra…

Once again, Zenis began to feel that things were repeating themselves. He wasn't fighting someone alone, but the whole group still was managing to overcome all the things he was throwing at them… he couldn't believe that he could lose to a group that combined didn't even have half of his powers. Still, if things continued like that… it was impossible to tell what might happen.

Not to mention, Zenis sent Billy to a world that was supposed to kill him in three days due to lack of oxygen, food, and water. However, there was no sign of that, and he didn't like the idea of leaving Billy alone for too long…

"I… had enough," Zenis suddenly declared.

In the next moment, a massively powerful and large gravitational field covered the area. Everyone on the battlefield began to feel like something was pushing them downward. Some tried to resist, but soon they were put down. Those who were powerful enough like Icarus and Natalie's group resisted, but eventually, even they fell to their knees.

"This is much better," Zenis said.

Zenis approached to kill the nearest enemy, and that happened to be Natalie. She hadn't fought so many times to fall like that while the enemy was using some weird spell to put her on the ground, so she used Destructive Aura and Body Enhancement as well. Thanks to that, Natalie managed to get up and assume a fighting stance.

"You must be someone important for him to have that armor…" Zenis said.

In the next moment, Zenis transformed the right arm of his armor into a massive blade and swung downward to split Natalie in two, but she blocked the attack with her swords. Zenis increased the weight to knock her down, but it only made her legs create a crater around her, and her stance never broke.

Before long, Zenis ran out of patience and used his Acceleration Manipulation to strike with more power and speed, and again, since he insisted on a direct hit, only the ground below her cracked until both of them began to sink. Natalie's swords began to get pretty damaged, but after all that suffering, she got something out of that.

In the next moment, she increased the mana on the tip of her right sword alongside Destructive Aura and then threw it at Zenis' face. He thought that the weapon would be blocked by his armor, but at the last moment, the mana on the weapon exploded, creating a mini Personal Field. The explosion disturbed all the mana around and prevented the armor from covering his face, and then it pierced his left cheek a bit.

After staying so close to the field, someone who had good senses like Natalie was bound to notice the trick behind it. Disturbing wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either. One just had to make their mana more powerful on the spot they wanted…

Zenis took the sword and then checked the blood on his face… his mind went blank with rage. It was time to end things already… his own mentality made him be that humiliated, so it was time to stop wasting time. Zenis made his armor grow in size, and so did the swords in his hands. Without her two blades and against something of that size, even the usually stubborn Natalie would feel like anything she does would be a waste of time. Still, she couldn't bring herself to give after all this time. She had kids waiting for her at home, and she couldn't fall against such a piece of shit that goes easy on others because of his ego.
