Boom! The sword exploded into a wave of water and qi the swarmed the swords ahead. The explosion was so loud and intense that the winds it kicked up threated to send Merlin and co of the eagle.

"Argh, what just happened?" Said Francesco as he tried to keep his balance on the bird. The others all frantically gripped the feathers of the bird in an attempt to stay on its back. The only person who remained calm and standing was Alexa. She merely looked around at the chaos that ensued around her.

The eagle struggled to move forward as the savage winds ahead pushed it back constantly. The waters below gave birth to massive waves that should not exist this close to the beach.

'Incredible.'

Alexa reached out in the air, seemingly grabbing at nothing.

'The qi he released has completely sent the world energy around us into chaos. It is unlikely that anyone can use any water-related skills in the aftermath of this for a while. His qi is so dominant that it has completely subdued the water element all around is.

Letty could not help but clap her hands. Will did not disappoint her at all. She held her chest in relief because, for a moment, she thought that the swords were going to skewer her alive. She looked at Will as the worship in her eyes grew stronger.

After a while, the aftershocks of Will's technique dispersed. Everything returned to calmness and serenity. Will breathed heavily and sighed. He could not help but smile.

'It went better than I thought.'

Will looked at the side and squinted his eyes, Letty walked up to Will and saw his expression.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Will looked at Letty and pointed in the direction he had been looking at.

"It seems we have an uninvited ninja."

Letty struggled to make sense of Will's words, only to see a Taiga materialize from nothing. Letty had seen all sorts of bizarre abilities on Eridium so she didn't freak out, she was however impressed by Will's detection skills, and she wasn't the only one.

The lower half of Taiga's face was not visible, but his eyes betrayed him. He could not hide the shock in his expression.

'Only people above level 125 can detect me in that state unless he has a class that focuses on detection? Impossible! He is clearly a combat user! Not to mention that he is clearly far below level 100, let alone level 125.'

Taiga reasoned that Will had a strong detection skill. Which meant that he had a strong fighting class with powerful detection abilities within its arsenal.

'This man is not weak. He has a lot of potential.'

Among the others, only Alexa and Ibrahim could detect him, but it was not a surprise as they had ultra rare classes and skills, not to mention extremely high levels.

It only took a moment, but Will unwittingly gained the respect of the ninja. Taiga swore to himself that he would not make Will his enemy, no matter the circumstances.

"Caw!"

It was at this point the eagle had appeared in front of the beach. The eagle was wary of something on the beach, so it stopped quite a few meters away squealing in fright. Gabby took some time calming the bird while Merlin chanted a bridge of light into existence.

As the fat woman woke up, everyone was getting off the bird, observing their surroundings. It only took a few moments for everyone to take in their environment and calm themselves. The last person was a fat woman. She wobbled from side to side and she yawned time and time again.

In the lead was Alexa. Like her, the others had a pensive expression. Will's display earlier was quite impressive. Especially the way his voice reached everyone's ears in such a psychedelic manner.
