Lis was well aware that it wasn't just the power of the Extraordinary Domain at play; he had infused the three divine powers he had obtained into the domain. The divine authority was sufficient to mobilize most of the Power of the World in this area, and only by doing so could he manage to suppress Patrick so utterly.
However, this was not without cost. Lis, now merely a Silver Level Professional, had otherwise enhanced his body through other professional specialties, but controlling such a massive force over a long period put a great strain on him.
As a high-level authority of power, the Extraordinary Domain could mobilize the Power of the World, but it also consumed a significant amount of his own energy.
Lis's Magic Power was being consumed at an extremely fast rate. Though his Magic Power far exceeded that of other mages at the same level, he could not engage in a prolonged battle.
He had to fight quickly!
Lis was very clear about this, and the same thought had also occurred in Patrick's mind.
However, he was not planning to continue fighting Lis; instead, he wanted to escape this sea area.
Faced with such a predicament, he couldn't help but realize that the Silver Mage before him was a tough nut to crack.
It seemed that his target today was himself, and more crucially, he genuinely had the capability.
The most pressing matter for Patrick was to leave this sea area, not to look for Lis in the center of the prison.
Joking aside, Lis's position was where the terrifying sea tornado was located, going directly towards it was akin to seeking death.
Even if he wanted to kill Lis, he had to first escape this prison, not fight in such hostile conditions.
Although it was somewhat embarrassing for Patrick, a Golden Strong Man, to flee from a Silver opponent, if others found out, his prestige would be completely obliterated.
But Patrick knew that now was not the time to hesitate over vanity and face; at a life-and-death moment, he didn't have time to think more and could only seek the most advantageous way to fight.
He had to leave this place!
Patrick quickly recognized the situation. Originally capable of transforming into a shark, he had some natural advantages in sea battles.
The ocean was his main arena; other Professionals found it hard to stand their ground on the sea surface, let alone defeat him.
Even standing on a ship, Patrick, strengthened in power, could easily tear apart those wooden ships without magic protection.
At the same time, the sea water was his natural barrier. Patrick's favorite thing to do was to drag his enemies into the ocean and drown them.
Even the very few mages who could fly, as a Druid, Patrick was not powerless like a warrior; he still possessed long-distance attack spells.
It was for this reason that even though others had known his strength and methods for over a decade reigning over the Pearl Sea, few could pose a threat to him.
But today was different. Patrick keenly felt that the ocean, which was once his home field, had turned into the enemy's accomplice, imprisoning him, and he was utterly overwhelmed in this respect by the opponent.
Even though the opponent was just a Silver Mage!
Is this the power of the Extraordinary Domain?
Patrick gritted his teeth, fear beginning to take root in his heart.
With a jerk of his streamlined shark body, he suddenly burst from the sea, unstoppable as he crashed into the edge of the Water Prison.
He knew that in mid-air, he would be attacked by Thunder and invisible Wind Blades, but staying under the sea would only lead to a slow death.
Under the sea, countless currents incessantly entwined and enveloped his body, making it impossible for him to muster the strength to break through the Water Prison.
Patrick slammed into the Water Prison, the blue cage shook momentarily, and then he was repelled back at an even faster pace, stirring up towering waves.
Lis furrowed his brows, as the controller of the Wave Cage, he clearly felt the ferocity of Patrick's attack.
After all, Patrick was a Golden Strong Man; Lis's combination of arcane spells couldn't restrain him for long.
After using [Natural Transformation], Patrick's highest Intelligence Attribute was now proportionally added to his Strength, making his strength comparable to that of a warrior of the same level.
Patrick also noticed the shaking of the Water Prison. With a few more attacks of that intensity, he believed he could break through the blockade.
Patrick's spirits lifted, and he quickly gathered his strength to continue attacking the Water Prison.
Lis, watching the ferocious, giant, blood-red shark below through the sea tornado, was not surprised.
Even with the support of the Extraordinary Domain, he could not rely solely on spells to trap and kill Patrick.
Since he had made his decision, Lis hesitated no longer. His jade green Magic Wand sparked with Magic Light as multiple Beneficial Magic Spells buffed his body.
[Bear's Tenacity, Cat's Grace, Bull's Power, Fox's Cunning, Owl's Wisdom]!
Four Rings Magic [Advanced Deflection Field]!
Five-Ring Magic [Reaction Armor]!
Six-Circle Magic [Magic Resistance Shield]!
Finally, as the last Magic Light flashed in Lis's hand, an ethereal Armor appeared on his body and then vanished from sight.
Because most of Patrick's attacks had now turned physical, the protective spells Lis applied to himself were targeted against physical attacks.
Storing the Jade Wand in his storage ring, Lis pulled out a Longsword that glinted with cold light, its hilt embedded with a blue-purple gemstone.
This was one of the Gold Level weapons Lis had specifically prepared to deal with Patrick, costing him twenty thousand Gold Coins.
