Chapter 278 Reasons (6)
"Are you sure about that?" Pierre asked when he heard about Billy's idea.
"Yep, this should make things easy for us after this," Billy said after he picked his glaive since it would be better against those big ass axes. "Just wait and see."
Billy looked at Svan, massaging his wrists and stretching his body. It seemed he didn't sleep well that night due to the handcuffs, but he wasn't someone who would complain about it, nor was he weak enough to let such a thing bother him for long.
"Why don't we make things more interesting here?" Billy asked.
"What do you mean?" Svan frowned.
"Say, if you win, I will let you and your friends go, you can return to the life where you lick Jeannete's boots if you want," Billy said. "I doubt that you will resist her powers again. In any case, if you lose, you will have to give me your word that you will follow my orders here. That way, you and your friends won't have to live with shackles."
"... I like that, but let me give you one piece of advice first," Billy said. "Those who have big mouths like you, never live long on the field of battle."
"Well, there is an exception to every rule," Billy said and then assumed his stance. "Don't worry, I won't use magic this time. If you manage to kill me, no one will lay their hands on you and your friends as well."
That was hard to believe, but Svan had heard to Gilles as well, and he wouldn't be so cooperative with a liar. Svan assumed his stance in any case, it was quite the weird one since his chest was wide open, and he just lowered his Posture. Suddenly, he charged, and Billy barely saw him moving. Still, he reacted on time to move his glaive and block the strike that used both of Svan's axes. The weapon withstood the attack, but Billy was pushed back dozens of meters. It has been a while since he felt an attack of that level… the last time was when he was nine, and he asked his father to spar with him. Despite that, Billy smiled.
"My turn," Billy said and then used Sonic Spear version two.
That was a dangerous move, it could kill heavily armored enemies with ease, but Billy knew that Svan could withstand that. He used his axes to block the attack. Even though Billy was thirty meters away, Svan knew that the next attack would be dangerous. Both of his axes withstood the blow, but he was pushed backward twenty meters. Not to mention, his legs were paralyzed since he had never received such a powerful blow. Finish off Svan with two or three more of those skills as possible, but Billy didn't want an easy win or kill him. Not to mention, if he fails, he would be unable to fight properly for a couple of minutes. So, Billy dashed toward him and used Quick Spear.
Although he couldn't use his legs properly, Svan could use his arms, and he moved his axes to block the strikes that Billy aimed at his legs and shoulders. Since his weapons were big and heavy, he almost wasn't fast enough to do so… Still, before Billy could keep doing it, he blocked a strike on his right shoulder and then followed with an downward attack. Billy was forced to jump back because he couldn't assume a defensive stance fast enough. He managed to do so in time, but Svan's attack cracked the ground and even created a crater. Everyone nearby felt the ground trembling thanks to it. He probably could shatter massive rocks with such massive brute strength… Even so, despite that, Billy smiled.
"You are the first one to feel this happy while facing me… aren't you scared?" Svan asked.
"Oh? I was hoping to hear those words one day… You are the first one to…" Billy said. "Nevertheless, I am not scared since you won't hit me. As long as you use both axes, you will never hit me."
Svan knew what Billy was implying… he was slow when using both axes, at least slow enough not to hit Billy. Those words were annoying in more ways than one, but Svan wouldn't change his fighting style. Billy thought that he would be better with a single one. Even bigger would be fine. He doubted that he could block such power without suffering some damage. So, with that in mind, Billy decided to finish that fight.
Billy charged again, and this time he used Fierce Aura. His speed increased, and thanks to that, Svan barely could see the strikes added with the power of Quick Spear. Still, Svan managed to block strikes because Billy was aiming at his chest with every single strike. Svan began to be pushed away, and he couldn't do a single thing because even the numerous attacks had a lot of weight behind them. Svan also used Fierce Aura without any other choice, but he didn't end there. His brown skin began to turn head, and Billy could almost see the blood pumping in his veins a lot faster than before. His power increased, and he stopped being pushed backward. Thanks to that, Billy wasn't so sure if he could defeat him.
Svan began to block his strikes with a single ax, and when Billy began Billy Aim at other spots, he easily followed that. Billy understood what was going on when he used Appraisal.
