[You are subject to a consciousness judgement from Fear Aura.]
[Your specialty, Nether River's Blessing, is activated, Solid Soul effect in effect!]
[You have negated the consciousness judgement from Fear Aura!]
Lis only felt a slight dizziness before quickly recovering.
He noticed the information on the system panel. Fear Aura?
Lis had encountered a similar skill when facing the Witch Demon McAulay, but he had not expected Patrick to possess this ability as well.
Was it derived from the Fear Divine Position influenced by the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts?
Patrick noticed that Lis almost immediately recovered without being affected and charged towards Lis with an emotionless expression.
The shock Lis had brought him was too much; the failure of the previously invincible Fear Aura was just one aspect of it.
In Lis's field of vision, Patrick's speed suddenly surged to the limit, streaking across the sea like a white line and appearing before Lis.
His cold, merciless eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he opened his huge mouth bristling with dense, triangular teeth, lunging to bite Lis.
The seven-meter-long massive body created an overwhelming sense of oppression, but Lis remained unmoved, the longsword in his hand instantly vanishing, replaced by a thick shield shimmering with silver light in front of him, firmly grasped in both hands to meet Patrick.
Combat Skill, Shield Slam!
[You switched weapons, All Techniques Return to Storage - Lis effect triggered!]
[You have entered the Storage status, skill damage increased by 10%.]
Holding the Gold-level Shield, Lis was completely protected and showed no sign of retreating.
A massive boom echoed as Patrick's gigantic body was forcibly blocked by Lis in midair.
Feeling a numb sensation in his hands, Lis furrowed his brow.
Something's not right!
Even if he was using a Gold-level Shield, even if the All Techniques Return to Storage effect was activated, he shouldn't have been able to block Patrick's attack so perfectly.
If Patrick was serious, the gap between them in close combat was still quite significant.
Just as Lis subconsciously sensed something was amiss, Patrick shook his body, and his thick tail fin zipped underneath the shield like lightning, striking towards Lis's body.
Damn it! He was aiming for this!
At that moment, Lis couldn't react in time and was sent flying by Patrick, crashing deep into the sea, with a huge column of water shooting straight into the sky.
Patrick took a breath, looking towards where Lis had vanished.
As a Druid capable of transforming into a shark, Patrick naturally contemplated how to better exploit this body's combat methods.
His tail was the strongest part of his body, and even a Gold-level Warrior could not afford to take a hit from it unguarded, let alone a silver.
Although that was the common assumption, Patrick did not relax; his subconscious told him that the enemy before him couldn't possibly be taken down just like that.
Lis burst forth from beneath the sea, standing above the water's surface.
Blood flowed from his mouth, and his left hand, which had been directly hit by Patrick, was in an odd twisted state, clearly broken.
But Patrick noticed that there was a layer of shattered illusory armor around Lis's body, slowly rotating and recovering.
With a pale face, Lis gritted his teeth as he looked at Patrick.
Luckily, after the enhancement from Stephen's Wisdom, he had finally created his own unique Protection system arcane, otherwise he would have been unable to withstand Patrick's full-powered strike, and would have been turned into minced meat on the spot.
Although he still had the Dimension Shield from the Space Ring given by his teacher as a trump card, Lis truly felt like he had just walked the line of death.
