Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 387 - 375: Aru and Li

Mila knew that lying to cover up was meaningless.

Because she deeply understood that the man in front of her was a monster!

Huang was the strongest Flame Warrior, bar none.

Compared to him, the Flame Turtle was nothing at all; its so-called absolute defense, which it prided itself on, would be easily shattered.

Huang was even stronger than any of the three Earth Fire Scholars!

President Beiru could use the Warm Fire Order to fight three Earth Fire Scholars by himself, but without it, he could only suppress one scholar one-on-one.

In other words, in terms of pure personal strength, Huang and President Beiru were on the same level, or perhaps even higher.

Such a figure, if he had participated in the first Double Fire War, there wouldn’t have been any Royal Court negotiations at all.

Yet Huang, with such formidable strength, remained stationed in this Outer Battlefield, this Water God Realm, for only one reason: the existence of Li.

Mila knew that Li was a monster.

And Huang was a monster among monsters, capable of subduing even Li!

So, even though she was afraid, she was still clear-headed and didn’t try any tricks. She truthfully reported the situation and finally said, "I’m sorry for not completing the mission you assigned to me, my lord. I’m really, really sorry.

However, the Holy Son, he may have been captured rather than killed. I... I really tried my best.

I beg you to give me a chance to redeem myself for the information I provided on the entire tribe’s location! Give me a new group of people, and I promise I’ll satisfy you, I guarantee it!"

At the end of her speech, Mila couldn’t help but look up at Huang, who was bathed in the morning light above.

Yet Huang’s voice remained as unruffled as ever, saying, "You want manpower? I’m sorry, but there’s none left."

Mila was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Huang said, "Something happened over at headquarters. All my men have been transferred there. The ones who died here—" he gestured to the floating corpses of the Flame Warriors on the sea, "were all the men I had under my command."

He paused for a moment and continued, "The three scholar lords summoned me back to headquarters for a meeting, giving me a new mission. After completing it, I will also return to headquarters and to the Flame Realm. I won’t be staying in this Outer Battlefield anymore."

Upon hearing this, Mila’s face remained pale from fear, but her eyes couldn’t help but shine with an excited glimmer: "You’re going back there? That’s great! Take me with you, I beg you, take me with you! As long as you’re willing to take me to that world, I’ll do anything you ask! I... I also hope to meet the three scholar lords at headquarters! So once again, please give me another chance to redeem myself, give me a reason to bring me with you to that side—uh!!"

A large hand seized Mila’s slender, beautiful neck.

After the hand firmly gripped her, Huang’s giant-like figure appeared in front of Mila, blocking out the sunlight and casting the shadow of death over her face, now twisting involuntarily due to the sudden sense of suffocation.

Without any warning, without any words. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

One moment, Huang was talking to Mila about the changed situation on the Flame Realm side, and the next, he was directly making a move to kill her!

Most crucially, Mila’s personal strength was as high as Tier Nine. Under one-on-one circumstances, she could have the upper hand even against that female Warrior Chief. This wasn’t just theoretical; these two had indeed clashed more than once before.

Tier Nine Mila was still connected to that crab-like "Great Wilderness War Chariot," her combat ability far exceeding the ninth tier.

But in Huang’s hands, she had no power to fight back!

Mila’s face was full of rage and fear as she beat Huang’s hand with her fists, but not a single spell would come out.

Her Magic Power, her Magic, were all forcibly suppressed within her by Huang’s pure, extreme, and yet powerfully ultimate Physical Strength the moment his large hand gripped her, leaving no ounce of power usable.

At this moment, she was reduced to the level of a normal woman without any professional strength, completely at the level of an ordinary person, so how could she break free from those iron-clamp-like hands?

"I... f**k... you..." Mila mouthed her last words, and then finally stopped struggling, eyes wide open in death.

Throughout, Huang’s face showed no expression, with not a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

What Mila didn’t know was that Huang had intended to kill her from the start.

Even if Mila had completed the mission, she would have died anyway.

For there is no place for traitors and turncoats; they are to be discarded once used up.

Moreover, Mila had messed up the task Huang had entrusted to her!

Huang calmly killed Mila and, like tossing away garbage, threw Mila’s corpse into the sea next to him.

Then his gaze turned to the bodies of the Flame Warriors floating on the sea, and a trace of emotion finally flickered in his eyes.

"I’m sorry."

Huang’s voice turned low and softly said, "I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you when you died. But I won’t let your deaths be in vain."

The situation Mila had described was unclear, with many vague and puzzling parts.

Mila truly hadn’t lied; the problem was that she herself didn’t understand what exactly had happened, not realizing what exactly went wrong that caused the once-promising battle situation to be reversed overnight.

Previously, without knowing, Andrew had been recalled to the Guild Headquarters by the three Earth Fire Scholars.

But he simply didn’t care.

He never thought of himself as the King of Flame Warriors; he only saw himself as an ordinary soldier sent by the Guild Headquarters to the Outer Battlefield, and the duty of a soldier is to obey orders unconditionally and execute them.

The headquarters’ order was to come to the Outer Battlefield to eliminate the remnants of Water Mages, so Andrew’s father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather... for generations, they were commanded to carry out the task of elimination, passing down the name "Andrew" from generation to generation.

Every generation of Andrew fought on the Outer Battlefield, and died here too.

And now, the newest order from the headquarters is to end the battle as soon as possible, and then return.

Then... just do it.

No need to think too much.

Under the sunlight, Andrew calmly leaped onto the head of the monstrous crab.

Then a trace of pain appeared on his face, as his feet slowly melted into a blur of flesh and blood, and the crab shell under his feet seemed to be softened by high heat until his lower body actually fused with the top of the monster crab!

If previously the monster crab controlled by Mela was a powerful but spiritless top-level Magic Puppet.

Now, the monster crab seemed to truly awaken, with countless fragmented wills faintly emanating from the crab’s body!

This is because this monstrous crab named "Great Wilderness War Chariot," is actually an aggregate formed over aeons by all the Flame Warriors who perished on this Outer Battlefield, including the past generations of Andrew, after death or loss of control!

Even the corpses of those Flame Warriors who died on site were attracted, attached to the crab’s feet, body, and then one by one merged in!

On the war chariot, Andrew’s half-human form emitted an aura that was far beyond the ordinary level of the Realm of Magic Guide.

While not as imposing as the President Beiru who burned the Warm Fire Order at Royal Court, but stronger than any of the three Earth Fire Scholars!

His nostrils flared slightly, and within a very short time, he effortlessly locked onto a direction, then drove the Great Wilderness War Chariot under him and chased in that direction.

Now, with the Flame Warriors completely annihilated and the First Saint Son Liek dead, it’s an unprecedented defeat.

Not to exaggerate, on this Outer Battlefield, Andrew is completely a lone commander, a solitary king.

But he wasn’t daunted, because ultimately, the battle situation of the Magic Guild in this Outer Battlefield was sustained solely by Andrew.

Generations of Andrew suppressed Liek, establishing this Outer Battlefield’s course.

Or rather, if it weren’t for the generations of Andrew suppressing Liek, Liek would have led the Water Mages back to the Flame Realm much earlier!

In this Outer Battlefield, Liek is an invincible existence—provided Andrew isn’t there!

Each generation of Andrew was stronger than Liek.

And no generation of Andrew was killed by Liek.

They all died of old age.

Liek’s advantage lies in his longevity; he used some method to gain an inexplicably long lifespan and outlived generation after generation of Andrew!

"But, it ends with my generation."

At this moment, Andrew maneuvers the Great Wilderness War Chariot, rapidly pursuing.

In the direction he chases, a hundred miles away, is the Black Whale Headquarters, which is Liek.

Not long ago, after knocking out Andrew, Liek swiftly left the scene with everyone!

Under the sunlight, across the island-studded sea, a crab and a whale, one chasing, one fleeing.

This is a microcosm of the aeons-long conflict on the Outer Battlefield, yet it’s more than just that.

—This is practically part of the second Twin Flame War!

Andrew is unaware that the Twin Flame War has already erupted in the Flame Realm.

Andrew knows.

The reason he was temporarily summoned back to the Scholar’s Fortress is entirely because over in the Flame Realm, President Beiru had already launched a comprehensive, proactive second full-scale war against the Magic Guild! The sudden and fierce offensive utterly exceeded the expectations and imaginations of the Magic Guild’s side!

Andrew had already been informed of the general battle situation in the Flame Realm.

However, he temporarily discarded matters of the Flame Realm, his mind focusing solely on one target: "I will kill you, Liek! I will kill you and thoroughly end the endless aeons-long entanglement and grievances of this Outer Battlefield! It’s happening today!!"

Former generations of Andrew could not outlive Liek, but in their entanglement and confrontation with him, they at least confirmed one thing: When Liek merged with the Whale’s Eye, he would return to his peak power and state but would lose his stealth ability.

In other words: Merged with the Whale’s Eye, Liek becomes an open card from a hidden card, with no more chance to choose avoiding battle.

Perhaps he can escape momentarily, but he cannot avoid the fate of "a final showdown with this generation of Andrew leading to a life-and-death conclusion".
