Now, the important islands and ports on the Pearl Sea are basically under the control of those coastal nobles.
Even some of the pirates are remotely controlled by these nobles.
The Pearl Sea is regarded by Lis as his own backyard; although he has no intention of annihilating these lingering nobles, the necessary displays of power and cooperation must be evident.
All this is predicated on first being able to shock these people.
To lay the foundation for his future declaration of sovereignty!
"Since you put it that way, then..."
As Lis spoke, the fireball at his feet suddenly sprung to life and hurtled towards Halil.
Halil was somewhat taken aback and hurriedly drew his longsword to strike at the falling fireball.
No, you can't just start swinging the moment there's a disagreement, are you really a noble?
But before the words could escape his lips, the terrifying heat stifled them back.
Halil dared not take it lightly; his earthy yellow Combat Energy clung to his longsword as he slashed at the falling fireball.
A Golden Warrior's Combat Energy can break a spell, which is what high-level warriors rely on in battles against caster professionals.
The dark blue fireball was split in half by Halil, and the tiny flames scattered in every direction.
Most fell into the sea, but many also landed on the people and goods on the dock, quickly spreading.
"Lord Lis, don't you think this is a bit too much?"
Halil looked at Lis with a face full of anger, as if ready to make a move on Lis if not given an explanation.
"Actually... I can be even more extreme!"
Lis said with a smile, unconcerned.
The moment the words left his mouth, Halil saw a sky-blue halo flash around Lis.
Deafening noises began to echo in everyone's ears, gripping all hearts with the feeling of an impending natural disaster.
The sea beneath the dock began to recede, exposing the sandy beach cluttered with shells and crabs, and the rotting, dark wooden piles that reached deep into the water.
In front of everyone, the endless sea began to churn, and waves rose against all common sense, higher and higher.
Those on the dock, like Lais and others, stared in fear, their faces pale as they watched the blue wave lift Lis to a height of ten meters, then twenty, and finally reaching thirty meters in the air.
The massive wave, hundreds of meters long, was suspended in mid-air. The blockade of sunlight and the unspeakable heaviness of the scene left people on the dock struggling to breathe.
The "Hurricane" rose into the air along with the waves; Helen's eyes sparkled with excitement, her hands gripping the ship's gunwale tightly, her gaze on Lis filled with fervor.
Those who lived by the sea knew that the ocean was not as calm as it appeared; horrific hurricanes and towering waves could bring endless sorrow to those living by the shore.
It was a natural disaster, beyond human resistance!
Lais was slightly better off, merely with his thighs uncontrollably trembling. Most people had already collapsed to the ground, their faces pale as they prayed to the gods.
Even the controlled pirates were the same. Even though they had been released, they forgot to run and were sitting on the ground. Some had even wet themselves.
Halil watched the scene unfold, his expression rigid and pale.
Having just shattered Lis's spell, he felt somewhat complacent, but now faced with this terrifying scene, he began to sweat profusely.
Even though he, as a Gold-level Warrior, might survive this terror of a tsunami, there was no doubt that Giant Horn Port behind him would be completely leveled.
That was something he could not accept.
Now, he wished he could slap himself from ten minutes ago. With everything under control, couldn't he have just complied with the situation? Why stir up all this trouble?
Now, he was thoroughly stuck between a rock and a hard place!
Halil was certain that he had just sensed the aura of an Extraordinary Domain emanating from Lis.
His scalp felt chilled as he remembered the body of Patrick still hanging on the bow of the "Hurricane."
This was the man who had directly killed Patrick; it wouldn't be surprising at all for him to wield an Extraordinary Domain!
Watching the smiling Lis perched atop the huge tsunami, Halil sheathed his longsword and clasped his heavy hands together in front of him. With a flattering smile, he said:
"Noble Marquis Kane, I was just sharing a little joke with you. Please forgive my presumption!"
"I have them all under control, please take them away."
"I don't know them that well!"
Halil was truly from the heart. To serve a big boss, how could he show weakness?
