Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 405 - 390: The Road Ahead

The battle among the powerhouses in the Magic Guide Realm is far beyond a mere duel between two individuals; it is a collision of Domain Power and Domain Power, or even World Power and World Power.

After merging with the Great Wilderness War Chariot, the force of the wilderness nearly reaches the ceiling of the Magic Guide Realm.

The elder just transcended the bounds of the Magic Guide Realm in an instant, truly stepping into the domain of a god.

The elder is harnessing the resonance power of the Water God Realm.

The wilderness, however, fully utilizes the new version of the Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, summoning the power of the Dragon of Greed, Lidzmat, from the Flame Realm for empowerment. Compared to the First Saintess Capella, when the wilderness employs the new Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, he does not consolidate a dragon shadow. In reality, the power he just "borrowed" from Lidzmat is much greater than what Capella can wield!

The battle between these two powerhouses, in a certain sense, is like a remote contest between the Flame Realm and the Water God Realm.

The result of the collision of these two forces is that the world trembles.

The so-called "tremor," of course, is very subtle, which is why it is called a tremor.

But when the subject before "tremor" is two worlds, the actual meaning of this sentence far exceeds any earthquake or tsunami!

"Hmm? That jolt just now seems to be—" In the Flame Realm, Gus and the other three Earth Fire Scholars almost simultaneously react, looking up.

At the same time, elsewhere in the Flame Realm, President Beiru also raises his head, staring deeply at an inconspicuous blue moon-like planet in the night sky.

That planet is precisely the Water God Realm, inconspicuous among the stars, far less threatening than the oppressive feeling one experiences when standing on the Water God Realm looking at the Flame Realm.

Yet, this same Water God Realm has continuously targeted the volcanic clusters on the west side of the Magic Guild, vaguely resonating with the Deep Blue Magic Tower at the center of Warm Fire City!

"I wonder how things are progressing on the Outer Battlefield with Andrew? Was that tremor related to Andrew?" President Beiru’s expression remains composed, yet inwardly his heart is already in the Water God Realm, yearning to go personally.

Meanwhile, on the Water God Realm’s side.

As the elder sheds his whale form and returns to human form, the numerous Water Mages who were hidden within the whale body all appear on the sea surface.

"What’s happening? Why are we all out here?"

"Did we win or lose?"

"Did Lord Li... win?"

For a moment, everyone is too preoccupied to bother why they suddenly emerged from the whale form, their gazes nearly uniformly focused on the Great Wilderness War Chariot, where two figures almost overlap.

Upon seeing the elder’s new, youthful appearance, the Water Mages are both surprised and confused: "Is that... Lord Li? The appearance is completely different, but the aura is unmistakably the same..."

Then, seeing the elder’s hand knife piercing through the head of the wilderness, the crowd, after a silent moment, bursts into ecstatic cheers: "Won? We won!"

The cheers last only a moment before turning into gasps of astonishment.

They see the elder’s body sway twice, then unable to maintain standing, he falls backward, plunging from the Great Wilderness War Chariot.

He indeed pierced through the wilderness’s head.

But at the same time: "My path, the life path of this lifetime, has finally come to an end," the elder thought to himself.

This lifetime he has really lived too long, through such a lengthy period, he has been entwined with the name wilderness, and after completing that final strike just now, there is not much joy or excitement in the elder’s eyes now, nor any sadness, just a sense of relief.

With a splash, the elder’s body falls into the sea, and almost immediately is fished out again by an interwoven net of various water magic.

Water Mages scurried around the elder: "Lord Li! Lord Li? Lord Li, stay strong!"

The elder’s lips moved slightly.

The crowd: "Lord Li, what do you want to say? We are all here, we are listening!"

The elder was already too weak to speak, his expression seemed helpless, thinking to himself: "I wish you all would stop talking, can you all quiet down a bit? And, could you scatter a bit, don’t suffocate me, I’m almost dying because of you."

Silver waved a hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, and asking them not to crowd together.

The elder smiled and nodded at silver, closed his eyes for a moment, and then barely managed to open them again, saying: "An... drew... that child...?"

The crowd was taken aback by his words.

They haven’t seen Andrew since the elder was chatting alone with him in his inner world.

Natalie and Pasha, the sisters, looked around but couldn’t spot even half of Andrew’s shadow.

The sisters were anxious and worried.

Many other Water Mages were thinking: "Lord Li said that kid was key to defeating the wilderness, and yet? In the end, wasn’t Lord Li the one risking life against the wilderness! Now that the fight is over, that kid is playing hide and seek? What nonsense!"

Silver whispered: "We will find him later, you don’t need to worry." As a top Water Mage, Silver could feel the elder’s Fire of Life nearing its end, her eyes couldn’t help turning red, she suppressed her sorrow, asking, "Do you... do you have anything more to say to us?"

The elder wanted to say something, but words failed him. His eyes slowly closed, the Life Aura emanating from his body dimmed at a visibly accelerated pace.

The immense grief replaced the joy of victory.

Many Water Mages couldn’t even cry.

To them, Lord Li was like a Guardian Divine Beast, a being fundamentally incapable of dying.

Including Silver, no one was prepared for the elder’s departure.

No one had even considered the possibility that "Lord Li could die."

The ancestors of many present had died while the elder continued to live, how could they possibly think that Lord Li would die?

Ultimately, it was Silver who was the eldest, quickly activating her power to dry the tears at the corner of her eyes.

She knew that once the elder departed, she would have to assume the responsibility of leading everyone forward.

The issue is, Silver was also confused and bewildered about the path forward.

The theme of this Outer Battlefield, almost perpetually, was Lord Li versus wilderness, Water Mages vs. Flame Warrior forces.

Yet now, the Flame Warriors are virtually wiped out, the endless entanglement between Li and wilderness, too, is coming to a final conclusion as soon as the elder takes his last breath.

Silver couldn’t help thinking: "Then what? What’s next? In the days ahead, without the wilderness, without Lord Li continuing to lead us, where should we go? Are we really supposed to return to the Flame Realm with that kid named Andrew?"

Towards the Flame Realm, Silver’s emotions are complex.

Rationally, she knows it’s "home," the root of all Water Mages.

But emotionally, she still feels this Water God Realm is home!

"Even if we really go back to the Flame Realm, we must first find that kid named Andrew, right? Damn, where on earth did that kid run off to? Oh, and there’s also the Teleportation Gate, without that gate, what are we talking about returning to the Flame Realm for?"

Silver thought of this, suddenly realizing something felt off, and froze.
