Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 371 - 359: Blood Weighing a Thousand Pounds

Chapter 371: Chapter 359: Blood Weighing a Thousand Pounds

Two figures appeared beside Liek as if by teleportation.

They were two Flame Warrior Chiefs, one male and one female, among the warriors. One had an aura reaching the peak of Tier Eight, while the other had achieved Tier Nine. Such strength in the Flame Realm could rival the Flame Turtle and Dragon Taming Mistress.

"Sir!" "Holy Son?" The two fished Liek out of the water.

Liek’s face was as pale as death, as if he had vomited all the blood he could. Although the consciousness of the First Holy Son was blurred, he was still muttering: "Give it back to me... I haven’t lost..."

Seeing Liek like this, the two Flame Warrior Chiefs exchanged glances, each seeing the extreme somberness on the other’s face.

Like the other Flame Warriors present, they had come with a relaxed mindset. A few days ago, after all the Water Mages’ settlements were conquered, the Flame Warriors had actually entered a "victory party mode" early.

But now, Liek had been beaten like this! And it happened right in front of all of them, without giving anyone a chance to intervene and stop it.

"You take the Holy Son down first."

The higher-ranking female Warrior Chief said, "If our healing team can’t handle injuries at this level, then let those Water Mages who surrendered to our side — those skilled in healing Water Magic — treat him as quickly as possible."

The other nodded silently, lifting Liek and leaving.

The female Warrior Chief herself stood up and looked in the direction where Andrew was.

Andrew was still half-kneeling on the water’s surface, not getting up.

Andrew was clearly the ultimate winner in the confrontation and duel with Holy Son Liek, yet after severely injuring Liek, he didn’t deliver the final blow. Instead, he watched as the Flame Warriors retrieved Liek and took him away.

From the female Warrior Chief’s perspective, she could see that Andrew’s body was faintly trembling, as if he had also suffered considerable injury in his confrontation with Liek?

This was, of course, a reasonable explanation because if Andrew had completely defeated Liek without injury, it would be too abnormal.

Yet for some reason, the female Warrior Chief narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at Andrew, feeling that rather than being injured, he was actually bearing some kind of invisible, heavy pressure, forcibly subduing him temporarily from getting up!

The female Warrior Chief’s intuition... wasn’t wrong.

Andrew was indeed under some kind of heavy pressure now.

Crack, crack, crack, the sound of his bones echoed continuously, almost unable to bear the weight.

The immense pressure wasn’t from anything else; it was from the drop of Blood of the Fire God Andrew had just taken back from Liek!

"This blood... is so heavy!" Andrew appeared composed on the surface, but he was gritting his teeth silently.

Before snatching the Blood of the Fire God, Andrew never expected that such a small drop of blood in his hand would feel so heavy.

Of course, the most troublesome point wasn’t its weight, but that this blood, after being ignited by Liek’s Undead Flames, seemed unable to be extinguished momentarily. Instead, it was stimulated, gradually showing signs of completely losing control and even exploding!

"A handsome retreat counterattack, stylish operation, but actually grabbed a ticking time bomb?" Andrew found it somewhat absurd, "I intended to reclaim this blood and hand it to President Beiru or give it to Barbara after returning to the Flame Realm. This blood originally belonged to the Warm Fire Commerce Association."

But now, the blood seemed stuck to his hand, unable to shake off, nor did he dare to rashly incorporate it into the Gate of Enlightenment in his Dantian. If not for this, how could Andrew possibly, after managing to severely injure the formidable Liek, not go up and deliver the final blow?

It’s critical to know that above Tier Nine is the War God Level.

Above the War God is the Realm of Magic Guide. This currently represents the most powerful combat force in the Flame Realm.

Even Beiru, burning the Warm Fire Order, whose strength suppresses ordinary Magic Guide Realm experts — like the fully revealed Catherine or the three Earth Fire Scholars — is still within the scope of the Realm of Magic Guide and hasn’t transcended beyond it.

What about the owner of this drop of Blood of the Fire God in hand? It’s likely a peak existence that may surpass the Realm of Magic Guide, reaching a level even higher than the Magic Guide Realm!

Even if it’s just a drop of his blood, Andrew dared not imagine the consequences if this thing lost control and exploded in his hand.

"If things become impossible, I can only forcibly store this blood in the Ice Prison Gemstone." Andrew rapidly weighed his options in his mind, "But if that’s the case, will the Ice Prison Gemstone also explode from within?"

Andrew strongly felt there was a possibility.

The Ice Prison Gemstone was the source of the Ice Element among his elemental attributes.

Simultaneously, this gemstone was also a "key."

Andrew hadn’t forgotten the woman, likely the daughter of the Water God, slumbering in the ice coffin deep beneath the snow-capped mountains in the northern royal court.

The ice coffin was actually within an Otherworld. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

And to enter that space and reawaken that woman, the Ice Prison Gemstone key was necessary. Andrew had promised the woman in the ice coffin that he would go to save her when he had sufficient strength.

Unless absolutely necessary, Andrew did not want the Ice Prison Gemstone to suffer any damage.

And there’s one more thing: a disaster is imprisoned within the Ice Prison Gemstone.

Catherine!

If the Blood of the Fire God was stored inside the gemstone and Catherine managed to seize it, breaking out from inside... that scene was too terrifying for Andrew to even continue thinking about!

"What to do? What to do, what to do?" Andrew genuinely hadn’t anticipated that after dealing with Liek, the ensuing crisis wouldn’t be from the Flame Warriors Liek summoned, but from the drop of Blood of the Fire God in front of him.

Watching as the blood in his hand grew heavier, the aura it exuded becoming increasingly violent and uncontrollable —

"Give me the blood." A voice spoke, "Quick!"

It was that melodious female voice from within the Water God Mark again!

Whether it was an illusion or not, Andrew heard the melodious female voice this time and felt it was unlike any previous occurrence.

This time, the melodious female voice seemed more vibrant.

No time to ponder deeply, Andrew exerted all his strength, lifting the Blood of the Fire God as if it were iron, then... pressed it against the Water God Mark on his brow!

With a buzz, the Water God Mark emitted a soft, water-blue glow, unexpectedly absorbing the Blood of the Fire God into it.

The whole process was so natural and harmonious, in an instant, Andrew recalled the perfect Water and Fire United synergy between him and Barbara, and the fusion of the Water God Mark and the Blood of the Fire God was even more intimate!

The suffocating, invisible pressure vanished immediately, as if it had never appeared.

The Blood of the Fire God, which had felt like it weighed a thousand pounds in Andrew’s hand, lost its weight instantly once absorbed by the Water God Mark.

Moreover, the aura that was on the verge of getting out of control was pacified in an instant.

And this wasn’t the end.

Under the control of the melodious female voice, the Water God Mark gently flickered, resonating with the entire Outer Battlefield planet that Andrew’s power had previously "activated." It was like a long-separated soul encountering its body again, and after the two reunited, some existence was about to resurrect.

Then Andrew saw: the Blood of the Fire God was gently split into three parts as the Water God Mark flashed silently.
