Chapter 382: Chapter 329 Waiting by the Stump for [Blood Shark]_2
Lord Lis didn’t make an appearance himself, he only stepped in to shock the enemies when Charles and the others faced formidable opponents.
Since Lord Lis and his crew strictly adhered to the rules they had set, claiming only ten percent as they had stated, and were often spotted chasing down pirate ships, local forces at each port turned a blind eye, allowing them to dock and resupply, while also handling the collected “protection fees,” a benefit other pirate ships could hardly dream of.
The only unfortunate ones were the merchant ships often seen idly watching the Eagle as it pursued other pirates, and, as expected, would “voluntarily” offer up their protection fees once Lord Lis’s crew was free.
Just as Charles was considering whether to indulge in fishing in the good weather to soothe his mood, he suddenly saw the figure of Lord Lis appearing out of nowhere on the deck.
Seeing this, Charles quickly got up and hurriedly fetched a cup of chilled sweet fruit wine, handing it over with both hands to Lord Lis.
“Lord Lis, hard work pays off!”
...
Basel disdainfully watched Charles, the sycophantic aura almost spilling out of him.
Vulgar!
While handing Lord Lis a clean towel, he secretly kicked Charles.
It was bad enough that he was currying favor, but stealing his expensively bought premium fruit wine was even worse!
Scum!
Lord Lis didn’t mind their minor actions and casually took what they offered.
“Any news about Blood Shark?”
The two shook their heads in response.
In the past half-month, the Eagle had begun gathering information on the great pirate Blood Shark Patrick.
The reason was simple, Lord Lis had almost completely digested the residual will from his divinity, and although he still might be slightly influenced emotionally when using divine power, it no longer hindered his combat abilities.
After receiving a solution from Mr. Stephens, Lord Lis had been making continuous efforts.
Despite having spent some time, being able to fully master divinity was unquestionably worth it.
As for the solution, it was quite straightforward.
After Mr. Stephens thoroughly inquired how Lord Lis had obtained and integrated divinity, he recommended using the simple method of grinding down the residual will through divinity.
This meant familiarizing himself with divine power through constant practice and combat to forcibly digest the residual will.
Although this method was straightforward and labor-intensive, it was also the best way to temper Lord Lis’s own will.
By continuously confronting and eroding the residual will of Ansel, and ultimately engulfing it, he was not only eliminating potential hazards but also significantly strengthening his own will.
Judgement Flame also said he could come over and solve this problem for Lord Lis, but that wouldn’t bring any improvement to him personally.
Knowing this, Lord Lis didn’t hesitate at all, opting to rely on himself to digest the remaining will of divinity.
So, over the past few months, Charles and others noticed the exaggerated movements of Lord Lis using his divine power and the aftermath when combined with his Extraordinary Domain.
Because divinity granted Lord Lis higher authority, it was closely integrated with the capabilities of his Extraordinary Domain.
The combination of the two provided Lord Lis with enhanced abilities, exemplifying a status where 1+1 was greater than 2.
It cannot be overstated how significantly divinity had improved Lord Lis, allowing him to command an increase of thirty percent in the Power of the World through his Extraordinary Domain, among other enhancements.
Now, Lord Lis was ready to hunt down the Divine Envoy of the All Beast Church, Blood Shark.
But soon he encountered a problem.
That was, he simply couldn’t find the pirate ship of Blood Shark Patrick.
As a Divine Envoy of the All Beast Church, and a major pirate in the Pearl Sea, Patrick’s role was partly to gather wealth for the All Beast Church, and partly to train enforcers for it.
Because of this, Blood Shark was quite active in the Pearl Sea.
But the pirate ship commanded by Patrick Blood Shark was quite unique — a sailing ship with transcendent strength called the Hurricane!
Unlike the Eagle, which had merely received a simple enchantment upgrade by Lord Lis, providing some magic protection and enhanced speed, the Hurricane was an entirely transcendent vessel, strengthened in all aspects by Magic Elements, far superior to ordinary ships.
It was said that the Hurricane had also received the blessing of a Legendary Level Wind Element Lord, allowing it to always have storm wind’s aid, making its sailing speed unmatched even by the fastest warships of the Bodichi Navy.
Patrick had used the Hurricane to escape numerous encirclements by the Bodichi Navy, wreaking havoc in the Pearl Sea for over a decade.
Widely regarded as the most powerful pirate on the Pearl Sea, the mere sight of his special Blood Shark pirate flag was enough for merchant ships to lose the courage to flee, offering up most of their goods to save their lives.
Patrick, in order not to exhaust his resources, would usually spare the crew of any merchant ship that did not resist.
Thus, Lord Lis would occasionally receive reports of Blood Shark sightings, but every chase thus far had ended in vain.
Helpless, with the other party possessing a transcendent vessel like the Hurricane, Lord Lis simply couldn’t catch up to Blood Shark.
