The ground under King Oceanus’ feet shattered as he blocked Ethan’s strike from above.
‘Why is this kid so strong?!’ King Oceanus gritted his teeth in frustration, noticing that the blow he just received was no weaker than the full-powered attacks that he unleashed.
Ethan made sure to only use the power of Absolute Authority whenever he attacked because he wanted to make King Oceanus think that he was as strong as him.
If the young man had used any weaker spells or attacks against the Colossi of the Sea, King Oceanus, the latter would probably figure out that the young man wasn’t as strong as he was portraying himself to be, shattering Ethan’s invincible image in his mind.
Mimir’s Wisdom had taught Ethan that intimidation could lower the fighting prowess of his enemies, making them more wary to take the initiative to attack.
