Williams suddenly felt the space around him tightening as he started grasping for air. He immediately ran back, escaping in the nick of time.
"Phew, that was a close one". Breathing relieved he wiped the sweat that had accumulated on his forehead.
He had wanted to ask bella how her power grew to such extent without the mana stone but he quickly cleared his mind of distraction and focused completely on the duel.
Space domain!
Bella shouted and immediately her domain spread over the four corners of the room. She manipulated the gravity inside her domain that it was now twofold.
And although Williams was restricted, he wasn't panic. Instead, he smiled and ran over to a corner of the room.
"Are you running to your mama" Bella wouldn't let the opportunity pass as she enjoyed teasing him a lot.
Under Bella's vigilant eyes Williams returned his sword into his ring. She really felt like laughing thinking that Williams was about to surrender but he did the total opposite.
Under the twofold gravity, Williams started running around in circle. At first, his speed seems slow but it increased over the time.
Bella suddenly felt a huge sense of danger coming from Williams. Her eyes were wide open as this was the most dangerous danger she has ever sense.
"I have to stop him at all cost, I have never seen anything like this again" Bella started manipulating her black matter to take on an arrow shape as they started shooting towards Williams.
Williams didn't bother dodging the arrow as they were only touching his after-shadows, what was only in his mind was to go faster. The more he kept shouting, the faster he becomes.
Williams could feel the lightning running behind him getting faster and longer, "This is my limit, I have to release it now!"
He who had been running in circles suddenly made a change in direction towards Bella who was at the middle.
Feeling all the energy running through his veins, Williams guided them to his hands and he fired them off. The moment those lightning came out, they fused with the lightning behind and they headed to their destination.
Williams had not stop running when he noticed something strange, "Why isn't she moving at all and why is her eyes showing panic..... OMG! I think she can't move at all!!" Williams shouted.
He looked at the lightning which was only a few metres away from Bella.
Doing the only thing he could, he ran after it intensely but couldn't close the distance so quickly, he quickly thought of what to do, 'I have to be there at the right time and place'
He increased his speed and suddenly, he disappeared.
Arriving before Bella, Williams wanted to swipe her off but he discovered that he also couldn't move at all, it was like a force was holding him in place.
The lightning was only a few centimeters away from them.
"Listen Bella, I can survive the strike without getting hurt since it recognizes me but even though I am standing in the way, I can only block a portion of it and not all. But I can temporarily transfer my source to you, since you are not the owner you wouldn't be able to absorb it but it will pass through you to the other side."
A source was like a well where the element energy is being drawn, it serves as a home for the element.
Since transferring it meant that Williams would become like a stranger to the lightning Williams knew Bella would insist on collecting it.
Well, he didn't mind, as he planned on doing it forcefully anyways.
He placed his hands which were moveable on her head, then he transfer a purple energy into her.
After transferring his source, he broke out of the force and jumped out the window with the lightning following him.
He started jumping on the rooftops trying to avoid casualties if possible.
In no time, Williams was out of the city leaving the people dazed.
Rumours about the appearance of the enormous lightning spread like wide-fire.
Some says, it came from heaven. Others said they saw it appear beside the palace while a few claimed they saw a man in the lightning.
Meanwhile Williams was currently faraway from the city, "This is a good place" he murmured when he found a desolate place.
He laughed when got an idea, "My body has always been weak, if I can use this moment to temper it with lightning, I think I should be able to benefit from it."
"YOU WANT ME! HERE I AM!!" Williams shouted and turned back towards the lightning.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The lightning exploded upon contact and Williams was blown away.
"Damnit!, I have read too much of wuxia novel since I got here. I can't believe I am thinking of tempering my body. Well, temper shit here I am"
He really felt like laughing at this moment, all of his clothes were burnt off and his body was scorched black.
Cough cough
He coughed out the black smoke in his mouth.
"I have to tidied up". He brought out new clothes and wore it after cleaning his body.
At this moment, Bella also appeared in the sky. Floating down gently she eyed the destruction level and her jaw dropped from what she saw.
All land within the 500 metre was damaged beyond recognition, she saw Williams in the middle of the debris and she floated towards him.
"Great! She's beautiful and she can fly" Williams said jealously.
Bella dropped beside him and she started sniffing the air immediately, "It smells like barbeque here" Bella held her rumbling stomach as she pointed out.
Confused, Williams also sniffed in the air but all he could perceive was burnt wood.
He turned to bella and asked curiously, "When did you eat last Bella?"
"Hmmm" Bella revealed a thoughtful expression, "I'd say about a week ago"
Williams coughed dryly as he knew what the problem was.
Williams took Bella's hand and he removed his source back from her body.
"Hey, what the heck are you doing?!" Williams complained as Bella wouldn't let his hand go.
Holding it tightly, Bella lifted his hand to her nose. Taking a sniff of his hand her eyes turned cheery, "Your hand smells like grilled meat"
"Are you alright? How in the world wi ... OUCH!!! STOP BITING MY FINGER"
