The hooded guy had light brown hair and golden-brown eyes. He also looked to be in his late teens, so it was confirmed that he had Billy's age. Regardless, before he could continue with the attack, the hooded guy suddenly disappeared from Billy's field of vision. He looked around and only found him trying to recover from the hit on the other side of the ring. If anything, he sure had spirit… He didn't have a comfortable life if he could take a hit like that and still keep standing. Or perhaps he used some other way to compensate for his endurance.
Billy charged at him again before he could recover, but then the hooded guy disappeared again, and Billy found him on the other side of the ring. He wanted to recover completely before facing Billy again. Unfortunately, that happened quite soon…
"No more playing around…" The hooded guy said, and when he finished, Billy felt his whole body being smashed by something.
Before long, Billy heard the sound of most of his bones cracking. He didn't even see what had happened, and his defenses didn't work this time. Still, he could imagine what had happened since there were burning marks across the ring. That guy moved so fast that he caused those.
Billy's consciousness grew blurry, and then he fell to his knees. Not even that dragon made him feel that much pain, so he couldn't believe that a single human was able to punch him dozens of times in a single moment. Once again, Billy used all his mental strength to keep conscious and heal himself. Thanks to that, the guy finally noticed that he could do that and frowned. He should be able to see his parameters and skills, but it seemed that he didn't bother…
"If anything, you sure are stubborn," the hooded guy said. "It seems that you are not someone evil… While you are using magic, I can tell that you are holding back and I also heard that you can summon even lightning bolts with your magic. Considering all that, I will let you win this tournament. Let's talk a little after things calm down."
"... Hahaha, that was funny," Billy said. "As if I will let you live without getting a taste of my best punch."
"Wait, i don't have any intentions of fighting," the hooded guy said. "I am not an enemy, I have just come to…"
"Shut up, it is time for payback," Billy said, and then he jumped with all his might.
The hooded guy clicked his tongue. He hated when his opponents moved to the sky like that. While with his speed, he could move even in the air, his mobility was limited, and going after Billy wasn't a good idea. Before he could find a way to deal with him and make him calm down, he saw Billy raining down much stronger Palm Cannons toward the arena. He knew what Billy was planning… he wanted to make sure that he won't have anywhere to run…
Billy's attacks began to fall, and then the hooded guy began to dodge them. Still, the attacks started to destroy the ring completely. It didn't take long for the hooded guy to lose all the footing that he could use. In the end, the arena was destroyed, and the audience saw him standing on the ground. His defeat had been decided… And yet, Billy still was attacking. After getting beaten that much in an instant, he wanted to make the hooded guy suffer as much as him.
Eventually, Billy ran out of steam, and he landed on the ground as well. It was annoying, but he didn't achieve his goal of making that guy for that last sequence of punches… Regardless, the ring was destroyed, and both of them landed on the ground, but the whole audience was speechless. Not even the organizers of the event knew what to do. They actually knew, but what they saw just made them gawk and stopped thinking. However, after a while, Billy was determined to be the winner… Because he was the last to land on the ground after the ring's destruction. He didn't feel like a true winner, though.
"What is wrong?" Kate asked. "You don't feel satisfied even after that crazy fight? How vicious can you be?"
"Despite the appearances, Billy is someone prideful, he doesn't feel like the winner because he didn't knock down his opponent even once," Natalie said.
"Still, that guy is weird… But he didn't seem like a bad person," Drew said.
"Still, wasn't he using magic or something?" Camilla asked. "To be able to move that fast… I didn't see a single one of his punches."
"Billy, how can I become as strong as you?" Samuel asked. "One day, I want to be able to destroy things the size of the ring as well."
"That is a weird goal to have… To obtain that much power, aside from your training, you need to do one one hundred push ups, one hundred sit ups, one hundred squats, and a ten kilometer run, every single day," Billy replied. "Until your hair starts to fall."
"But your hair looks fine, though?" Samuel frowned.
"That is because I am still training," Billy said.
Billy had cleaned and healed himself, but his body still hurt like hell. He wanted to carry his kids to improve his mood, but those two were having fun sitting on the cart behind them. Which was the cart that had the massive gold sphere. Speaking of which, even the barbarians around were frowning while looking at Billy pulling that with a single arm.
"Let's have a farewell party today," Kate said. "We stayed here for a month, so we should leave after something memorable, let's call Svan, Ilfa, and Marie."
Billy still had to talk with the annoying hooded guy, and he couldn't drink too much while his bones mainly were broken, but he could endure that in order to make his family not worry.
