Chapter 70: Power

Now, two people had arrived, but Luis remained silent.

Paul simply stared at Liam without responding, while Luis waited to see who else would appear.

Unexpectedly, Velika Aris suddenly lunged at him.

"No need for pleasantries. I’ll kill him now for revenge," she said.

Both of her swords were poised to slash at Luis.

Seeing that, Liam didn’t remain still either—he also charged toward Luis.

From his perspective, Velika just wanted to rob Luis.

There was no way he would let her strike first. If Luis died from the first attack, that would mean the first attacker would get the treasure.

"Hahaha, I want it too!"

A burly man from the Empire leapt up with a vicious expression.

After him, more people charged at Luis. They looked like a pack of wild beasts eyeing fresh meat.

"Damn all of you!" Madam Sofia was furious.

She raised her hand, ready to unleash her fiery power.

However, Luis grabbed her hand.

"Madam, step back. I’ll handle this. Please, trust me," Luis said to her.

He didn’t want her to use her power.

Sofia was a bit surprised, but seeing the determination in his eyes, she finally nodded.

She then leapt backward.

Seeing her retreat, Paul let go of Luis’s shirt collar.

He then leapt toward Madam Sofia.

His target wasn’t the item in Luis’s possession, so he naturally wasn’t interested in joining the others in beating him up.

Between them, it was personal—she had offended his feelings. He’d deal with her personally after getting the Double Power Mirror from her.

"Sofia, please don’t make me attack you," Paul said in a helpless tone.

Madam Sofia’s gaze turned cold as she replied, "Paul, don’t think I’m afraid of you just because you have four Tier 2 Spirits. I have two. Let’s see if you’re strong enough to suppress me."

"Sofia, it’s not what you think. Two Spirits simply can’t match four," Paul replied.

Meanwhile, just as all the attackers were about to reach him, Luis closed his eyes briefly.

Giant Shadow Body—he wanted to use this body’s power.

As the name implied, it allowed him to turn his body into a shadow—a massive shadow that could change shape at will.

Buzz!

When it activated, he instantly transformed into a black figure—a tangible shadowy form.

Then, he merged with the chair he was sitting on, and the shadow immediately expanded massively, covering the entire deck of the cruise ship, which was over a hundred meters long and seventy-five meters wide.

People were terrified at the sight of the shadow covering the entire floor.

Some leapt away quickly, but those who didn’t were horrified as shadowy hands suddenly gripped their legs tightly.

"What is this?!"

Those in fear slashed at the shadowy hands with their swords—only to realize their blades passed right through them.

Shua!

Luis returned to his human form, and the massive shadow vanished.

However, the shadowy hands didn’t disappear. They still held the people’s legs.

They were connected to a single long shadow attached to his feet.

This sight made some survivors rub their eyes in disbelief.

"What kind of ability is this?" they exclaimed.

At the same time, Luis raised both of his hands.

Zzz! Zzz!

From each hand, several lightning tigers appeared with vicious expressions, leaping toward the people charging at him.

He could unleash all five elements in large quantities and shape them however he wanted. This was the power of his Tier 3 Spirit: Five Elements Spirit.

It might seem simple, but the ability to shape five elements into anything meant he could use them in countless ways.

And each elemental attack he released was always stronger than a single element from a Tier 2 Spirit.

"Damn it! You have another ability!"

Liam cursed.

He struck the lightning tiger coming at him, only to be shocked by the massive difference in power.

His hand was struck by lightning forming the tiger-lion, flowing into his body, making his eyes go wide.

"AHHH!" he screamed as his body tensed and trembled uncontrollably.

He was strong, so one could only imagine the others’ conditions.

However, Velika Aris managed to dodge with a sudden, unpredictable movement.

She disappeared for a moment and reappeared in front of him.

Luis wasn’t too surprised—he had fought her before.

Her ability wasn’t about attack or defense, but speed and agility, relying on her dual swords for offense.

"Die!" the woman shouted as she slashed both swords at his neck.

"Fool," Luis replied.

That was all he had to say—she should’ve known her blades couldn’t penetrate his Black Diamond Armor.

And Luis was too lazy to even use the full armor now.

He only transformed his arms into the armor, then layered them with ice and lightning to drastically increase their speed.

Shua! Shua!

He easily caught both of Velika’s swords, gripping them tightly so she couldn’t move them, let alone pull them away.

"You—!" she was stunned by the outcome.

"You’d better start fearing me from now on," Luis told her.

As he said that, he added earth element to his hands, practically turning them into stone fists.

BANG!

Then he punched Velika Aris’s beautiful face.

He had sometimes wondered what it felt like to punch a beautiful woman.

Now he knew—it had a special sensation.

Velika Aris was thrown into the air and crashed down hard.

She didn’t scream in pain, but her expression turned dull, staring at Luis in disbelief.

Maybe she couldn’t believe a man had actually punched her pretty face.

Her previously rosy cheek turned blue from the hit, slightly swollen.

Everyone watching could only stare, stunned by what had just happened.

Some Level C Awakeners charged at Luis, but they were all knocked back in various conditions.

Then, more shadow hands appeared beneath them, grabbing their legs.

At this point, Paul—who originally intended to attack Madam Sofia—could only stare at Luis.

"What’s wrong, bald guy? Scared now?" Luis provoked.

"Don’t worry. I’m not here to kill anyone. I just want to show my strength—and maybe collect some treasure," he added with a chuckle, speaking as if Paul were afraid of him.

"Brat, you think you can scare me?" Paul shouted as he took off his coat and shirt, throwing both into the sea.

When he stomped on the floor, the cruise ship immediately trembled.

Some parts might have cracked from the impact.

Once shirtless, his muscles bulged and his veins popped out.

They were dark red and emitted a menacing red glow.

Pressure radiated in all directions as that red aura emerged.

ROAR!

Paul roared, and the sound was more terrifying than a wild beast’s. It even caused a great storm to rise over the sea.

"So this is his power... A Spirit that enhances physical strength, one for speed, one for defense, and the Spirit of Rage," some murmured.

"Yeah, he becomes a furious monster, yet his mind stays calm!"

"Just so you know—one punch from him can crush the bones of a Level C monster. Only a Primordial Monster can match him!"

Whoosh!

Paul charged at Luis, and in his hand appeared a giant red hammer.

"Brat, DIE..." he roared, swinging the hammer down from above.

It even grew in size—30 meters long, 20 meters wide.

"This ship will be destroyed if that blow isn’t blocked," someone commented.

At that moment, Luis could feel just how powerful Paul was.

A human with the power equal to a Primordial Monster at the same level was a truly difficult opponent.

Luis worried that even with his Black Diamond Armor, he might not survive that blow—before he had the Giant Shadow Body and the Five Elements Spirit.

However, for now, he didn’t feel too threatened—his power had surpassed a regular Primordial Monster. He stood between an ordinary and a true Primordial.

"Wind," he said, raising his hand.

Whoosh!

A powerful wind surged from below, forming a storm that pushed upward toward Paul.

Using wind to counter him seemed foolish—Paul clearly had immense weight and a giant hammer.

But the people could only gape in awe.

The wind Luis summoned was incredibly strong. Not only did Paul fail to descend—he was actually pushed upward.

"How is this wind so strong? Unless it’s also a Tier 3 Spirit."

"Hey, didn’t you see how powerful his lightning was? It took out Liam and the others all at once!"

"If I’m not mistaken, he also used earth and wind when he punched that beautiful woman!"

"There are two possibilities—he has four Tier 2 Spirits, each with different elements. No—he also has the Black Diamond Armor Spirit."

"Then what about the shadow earlier? That seemed incredibly strong too."

"..."

As everyone discussed Luis’s power in confusion, his left hand suddenly moved upward—unleashing water, which merged with the wind to boost its force.

"Doesn’t he have too many Spirits? No—this must be a Tier 3 Spirit composed of five elements. I’ve heard of one called the Five Elements Spirit, which lets you unleash all five in different forms."

"Even so, this is way too strong—it’s actually stopping Paul!"

"Could that shadow earlier also be from a Tier 3 Spirit?"

"..."
