[Blood Shark] Patrick never sleeps outside overnight, so he would inevitably use the road in front of Lis to return to the [Hurricane].
Therefore, after Lis confirmed that Patrick had entered the town, he stayed here alone, instructing Evar to return to the [Eagle] and bring Charles and Basel over.
After Lis had lured Patrick away, their three's task was to directly take control of the [Hurricane] to prevent any disturbances to Lis's battle.
After all, Lis had come to regard it as his possession and naturally could not tolerate any damage to it.
As for Charles and the others, Lis wasn't particularly worried.
Although there were many pirates on the [Hurricane], there were no other Gold-level professionals present. With their top Silver-level strength, controlling the situation shouldn't be a problem, or at least they could hold out until Lis returned.
As Lis was continuously revising the plan in his mind, a burly figure appeared at the dock entrance.
Lis's attention instantly focused there, sensing a formidable Gold Rank aura emanating from this person!
Looking at the face that almost matched the wanted poster, Lis quickly confirmed this was [Blood Shark] Patrick.
Watching Patrick walk towards the [Hurricane], Lis began to hold his breath and concentrate, gathering his magic power.
Because Lis's affinity with the Shadow Plane and ability to hide his presence vastly exceeded Patrick's, Patrick didn't notice Lis's covert actions at all.
In an instant, Lis had fully gathered his magic power, and a broad beam of bright white light burst forth from his hands, smashing directly at Patrick.
Six-Circle Magic [Rejection Technique]!
In a good mood while walking towards the [Hurricane], Patrick suddenly sensed a spiritual warning, and a huge white pillar of light hammered towards him from behind.
But at this moment, Patrick had no time to defend himself and could only raise his arms in front of his body.
When the white pillar of light struck him, he felt an irresistible gargantuan force impact his body, uncontrollably pushing him backward, directly flinging him over a hundred meters away.
Finally regaining control of his body, Patrick shook his arms only to realize he was now far from the dock, standing on the surface of the sea.
He was amazed to find he hadn't received even a scratch; it seemed the spell's purpose was merely to force him away from the dock.
After casting [Rejection Technique], and unsurprisingly watching Patrick's figure fly backwards, Lis too flashed forward, quickly flying towards the spot where Patrick fell, with his Jade Wand in hand.
The principle of the Six-Circle Magic [Rejection Technique] is somewhat similar to the [Resistance Ring], which also belongs to the Protection Magic category, generally used by mages to repel close-range enemies.
The effect of the [Resistance Ring] surrounds the user, while [Rejection Technique] is a directional spell, but its effect is much more potent; if it hits the enemy, the repelling effect is several times stronger than the [Resistance Ring].
However, for most mages, the [Resistance Ring] is clearly more practical.
But here, Lis chose the [Rejection Technique] to push Patrick into the sea and away from the port area.
After ensuring he was unharmed, Patrick also saw the figure rapidly approaching him.
This aura... Silver Level?
Patrick almost laughed out of anger, his fury from the recent attack boiling over even more.
Since when did a Silver Level Mage have the courage to strike at him, [Blood Shark] Patrick?
Sure enough, it must be those pirates newly emerged in Treasure Pearl Sea trying to rise above me, huh?
With a gesture from his right hand, a massive silver-white flame suddenly emerged in front of the approaching figure, the fierce blaze threatening to completely engulf him.
Druid Magic [Starfire Technique]!
Although Patrick specialized in [Natural Transformation] as a Druid, he had mastered several Druid spells, and using them was no less potent than a typical Gold Mage's attack.
Seeing this, Lis quickly layered several Elemental Shields in front of him.
At this moment, he dared not underestimate Patrick in any way, as this was Lis's first time engaging face-to-face with a Gold-level powerhouse. It was quite different from using aerial advantages to mock Abbas in previous encounters.
The three Elemental Shields shattered suddenly under the assault of the [Starfire Technique], but Lis had already rushed through the area engulfed in flames.
Within Patrick's sight, that black figure suddenly burst through the massive clump of silver-white flames, quickly closing the distance with only few sparks on his body, seemingly unaffected at all.
Looking at the magic wand in his hand and the magic light of the shields that had flickered on his body just moments ago, Patrick immediately realized the attacker was a Silver Level Mage.
What's going on? A Silver Level Mage daring to strike?
And his speed, how could it be so fast?
Patrick was slightly stunned, but his abundant combat experience made him instinctively prepare for close combat.
From his robust muscles alone, it was clear that he excelled at hand-to-hand combat.
But just as the two were about to collide, Lis seemingly defied the laws of physics and abruptly halted mid-air, his wand beginning to flicker with blue-purple electricity.
At that moment, Patrick could have moved forward to prevent Lis from casting, but he was stunned.
