Chapter 744: Death (1)
After a while, Billy decided that charging through those so often wasn\'t a good idea. He would have to repair his weapon later, but he equipped his glaive. Still, before doing anything, he noticed that the mana around the area was changing thanks to the snowstorms… The enemies were creating a field where their magic was even more powerful. To make things worse, there was no sign of the enemies stopping crossing the portal, and the number had already reached one thousand… he had to do something and fast before things get even more out of hand.."It can\'t be helped…" Billy thought.
Billy was certain that many many were being attacked right now, so he couldn\'t waste too much time there. He had to deal with the enemies, find the spirits and then get the hell out of there. To do that as soon as possible, he summoned ten copies of his glaive using Mana Constructs, and then he used all his remaining mana to summon twenty clones. The clones equipped the weapons and then flew toward the enemies.
"In the meantime…" Billy glared at the portal and then used Absolute Thievery.
Billy began to drain tons of mana from the portal, and it didn\'t take much for the thing to close… While the skills helped, Billy knew that Uvish wouldn\'t let him get so much mana and wipe out the enemies…
In the next moment, Billy began to drain the mana from the frozen souls, and while his clones also killed some of them, the remaining soon summoned hundreds of ice walls and then confined Billy and the clones inside.
"Hmm, this might be a bit bad…" Billy thought when he began to feel the temperature decreasing.
As if things weren\'t troublesome enough, the ice walls began to close in, and the creatures were probably trying to kill Billy either by smashing, suffocating, or freezing him alive since the cold was increasing and the space inside decreasing…
Billy approached the walls and then used his personal domain… However, the skill didn\'t work, and that surprised him. It was probably because that was a combined spell and the enemies kept feeding the wall with their mana. Billy didn\'t have much to think about because the cage was shrinking. In the end, he looked at his clones and then used Emotional Control. He also made them use Destructive Aura and Body Enhancement.
"This is going to hurt later…" Billy thought.
Once the preparations were finished, the clones began to attack the walls, and each strike made the entire area vibrate while it also made the whole thing crack. The walls tried to repair themselves as fast as possible. Still, ultimately, the whole thing eventually fell apart when the enemies no longer had enough mana to repair it.
When the wall fell into pieces, the clones went to attack the enemies. Still, Billy saw another portal appearing in the distance… It wasn\'t like he could close it from there, so that made him frown. Billy frowned even more when the enemies began to fly to some mountain instead of attacking.
"They either are planning a trap… or they are looking for something…" Billy thought.
The possibility that they didn\'t want Billy to find something in that area was pretty high… That would explain their timing. In any case, while Billy was out of mana, he decided to head there alone and make his clones follow him after they were over with the cleanup.
As one would expect, half of them tried to block his way when Billy got close enough. They bombarded him with ice spears since they knew that the walls would no longer work… Unfortunately for them, Billy easily dodged those with the speed of his armor and approached.

Thanks to their pathetic speed, Billy smashed the heads of countless of those before they could defend themselves. Eventually, the enemies began to attack one another with ice spears, and that made Billy frown for a moment. Until he saw those, who were hit exploding and becoming spiked spheres and almost impaling him.
"They hit their allies\' hearts with that… I don\'t know how that is enough to make it happen, but it is a pretty nasty way to prevent my attacks," Billy thought.
When Billy approached some enemies, they were hit and exploded… That also delayed him since he had to change his directions very often. He decided to ignore all that and count on the power of his domain, but then something unexpected happened.
"Leave this to me and just focus on dashing ahead," the wind spirit said.
"So, it is true that there is a spirit ahead, and Uvish wants to stop me from finding them," Billy said. "Still, it is annoying that you only feel like doing anything when there is something for you."
"Do you want to use even more of my powers for free?" The wind spirit asked. "If you act and think like this often, the influence of our powers will weaken on you, you know."
That made sense… Even though Billy had never heard of that. That was because the tribesmen never went against their culture of keeping the environment as it is…
Regardless, Billy decided to follow the wind spirit\'s advice, and he dashed ahead while ignoring the enemies. When they began to explode and become spike spheres, some blasts of wind sent them flying in the distance. That was one way to deal with them, and it was pretty effective since it was a Concentrated attack… The only issue was that the spirit was using Billy\'s mana.
"I suppose I can\'t complain…" Billy thought and then focused his eyes on the portal and began to steal the mana from it.
Billy had a hard time doing that because Uvish truly wanted to prevent him from moving. Still, Billy decided to ignore that when his clones approached.
