"Black Marlin! Let me show you the power of water!"
"Water Dragon Possession: Black Marlin" exerted the ability of its Teigu at this moment, which was to manipulate water it had come into contact with; most fluids could also be manipulated.
The reason Liva had placed the battlefield in the central square of this city was because there was a fountain in this square, with plenty of "water" suitable for him to use.
Only in an environment with water could Black Marlin exert its maximum power, wiping out enemies in a graceful posture.
However, looking at the water currents rushing toward her, a trace of disdain flashed in Hysilens's eyes...
What kind of water are you? You dare to attack me?
I am the Demigod of the Ocean, and even more so, the master of the sea. All the water in the world should obey my commands, yet you are using them to attack me?
Facing the attack of these water currents, Hysilens didn't even have the intention to dodge; she stayed in place, letting Liva manipulate the water currents to attack.
"Arrogant!"
Hysilens's attitude directly angered Liva, who began to control more water currents to attack the opponent.
However, the scene that followed directly shocked Liva's eyes, even causing the rats hidden in the dark to widen their eyes, looking at this scene in complete disbelief.
The water currents controlled by Liva had even split into more than a dozen, and as long as they left a wound on the opponent's body, they could severely injure her at an extremely fast speed.
However, such a scene would never appear on Hysilens.
Whenever a water current was about to hit Hysilens, it would suddenly change its attack direction, brushing past her, not even leaving a scratch.
"Why, Black Marlin? Why won't you obey my commands?"
At this moment, Liva was somewhat panicked; since he had obtained the Teigu, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
Clearly, during previous training and battles, Black Marlin had been able to easily pierce through the opponent's body; even slightly stronger Danger Beasts could only die on the spot.
But when facing this woman before him, Black Marlin had completely lost control and could not hit the opponent no matter what.
"Of course, it's because I also possess the power to control water... and it's stronger than that ring in your hand!"
Hysilens's calm voice declared the answer, and even if General Liva was unwilling to accept it, he had to face this reality.
Liva was manipulating water through an item, but Hysilens was controlling it directly through her own oceanic authority, the efficiency of which was unknown how much higher than the opponent's.
"So these are your attacks? Then I'll return them all to you!"
Looking somewhat displeased at the water currents surrounding her, Hysilens rarely showed an expression of disgust and casually waved toward Liva.
In the next second, the water currents that were originally controlled by Black Marlin immediately changed their attack direction, rushing toward Liva and the hostages, with an intent to completely eliminate the opponent.
"Not good!"
"If I take this move head-on, I will die!"
Liva immediately made a judgment, but his body was too slow to react; he couldn't even use the hostages as a shield and could only watch this happen.
Just at this critical moment, a silver-white figure holding a spear suddenly appeared in front of Liva and used their own power to disperse those water currents one by one.
The person who came was Brand; he had been observing Hysilens's movements from the side since just now, wanting to see how exactly the opponent was attacking and whether there was a Teigu on her.
But regrettably, there was no sign of a Teigu on Hysilens; she even stayed in place without moving, and the final result was that Brand couldn't see anything and could only stick close to the opponent's attack.
It was precisely this approach that allowed Brand to react at the critical moment and block in front of his superior.
The water currents were naturally blocked by Brand.
But as a price, the hands Brand used to hold the spear were trembling constantly, as if having suffered an unprecedented blow.
"So heavy!"
Brand was also shocked by the attack of those water currents.
When he and Liva had just obtained their Teigu, they naturally had quite a bit of practice time with each other and knew exactly what the opponent's strength was.
However, the water currents controlled by Liva had never had such powerful strength, not even one-tenth of Hysilens's!
This was too outrageous, but thinking about it, it seemed there was no problem? The fact that the opponent dared to come here alone was enough to show her confidence in her own strength.
"Blocked it? Although it was Liva's water current, your strength is passable... However, I'll take the hostages."
Since Brand and Liva were temporarily restrained by the water currents, Hysilens had no need to spend more time on them; the top priority was to send the hostages away.
The people of the Northern Country, even if they committed a mistake, could only be sanctioned by the Empress's Law, not killed by people from other countries!
Brand, Liva, and all those hidden guys around...
You seem to have touched the bottom line of the Law!
Although Hysilens is a Demigod of the Ocean and has little to do with the Law, Cerydra is the Empress!
As the Empress's most loyal knight, Hysilens naturally must relieve the Empress's burdens and eliminate everyone who has crossed the line.
Moreover, there is a soul connection between Hysilens and Cerydra; they are even the same person, so that goes without saying...
Little fish, hurry back to your own ocean. This place is not suitable for a long stay... The nearby city has a garrison, enough to ensure your safety.
After a brief reminder, Hysilens waved her hand, stirring up a giant wave that pushed all the hostages who had just escaped danger, sending them speeding toward the nearby city.
No matter how fast the warriors and Assassins were, they couldn't catch up to Hysilens's giant wave; they could only trail behind, eating dust, and eventually watching the giant wave disappear into the distance.
After that, Hysilens was completely unleashed and could use large-scale attacks without any reservations. After all, besides her being from the Northern Country, everyone else here belonged to the Empire.
Even with original characters like Liva and Brand, Hysilens had no intention of holding back; she planned to completely submerge them in the deep sea and let them sink with the Current...
Be careful, don't let that silent wave slit your throat!
Tapping her lips with her finger, Hysilens made a shushing gesture, then stuck her twin swords into the ground and looked up at the sky...
For the Assassins, this was clearly the best opportunity to attack. The Empire's elite assassination squad, hiding in the shadows, was already prepared.
Every one of them knew very well that killing such a powerhouse was not easy. If one strike failed, the opponent would definitely be on guard, and any further assassination attempts would become extremely difficult...
Therefore, there was only one chance!
It's coming...
Looking up at the sky, Hysilens seemed to sense something. A smile gradually appeared on her lips, and accompanied by singing, she slowly flew toward the sky.
Whether it was Liva, Brand, or the killers hiding in the shadows, they all turned their gazes toward the sky, following Hysilens.
However, when they saw the scene in the sky, their hearts could no longer remain calm...
Because the sky had turned into an ocean filled with stars!
