Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 291 - 281: Magic Power Overwhelms

The oppressive feeling within the Eternal Frost Hall vanished. Capella clearly knew the traditional rules of negotiation duels, and had no choice but to withdraw her power.

She looked at the King and Catherine, pointed to Yorkshire in the arena, and asked, "Does this count as a violation?" At the same time, the Flame Turtle asked the same question, "Doesn't... doesn't this count as a violation?!" Unlike Capella, whose voice was full of suppressed anger, Capella seemed calm, as if she just wanted confirmation.

"This is certainly not a violation," a voice, still slightly weak but very resolute, replied.

Beside Andrew, Dean Charlie slowly stood up and said, "If this counts as a violation, then what did your side's poisoning of me count as?"

Dean Charlie was recently shriveled by the "Greed Dragon Fire Poison," almost drained and reduced to a dried corpse. Although his complexion was still poor, he had regained the ability to move and speak.

As he spoke, he nodded towards Andrew beside him.

Andrew said nothing, retreating to the side. On the surface, he looked indistinguishable from Havier and Sabye beside him, with no sense of presence.

But considering all that Andrew had done so far, how could he truly remain unnoticed?

Although "Invisible Enchantment" is unparalleled in self-concealment, this ability is like the so-called dark matter from the previous world. Even if it cannot be directly detected, it will always leave traces of "influence," which can be reverse-engineered and deduced using those traces.

Seeing Dean Charlie awake, Catherine smiled and said to Capella, "You heard it, as Dean Charlie said, it doesn't count as a violation."

The King on the throne remained silent, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The King originally intended to intervene, forcing a big label of illegal duel on the Warm Fire Commerce Association's side. At the very least, no one could easily switch the second duel contestant from Capella to Yorkshire.

But what the King did not expect was that Dean Charlie actually stood up again at this time! And the Dragon Taming Lady, who had been contending with Dean Charlie, was no longer present.

"Clearly hit by the Earth Fire Scholar's Fire Poison, yet he's able to recover so quickly?"

The King frowned, his gaze shifted slightly, glancing at Andrew beside Dean Charlie, thinking to himself, "Is it still this kid's doing?"

If there was doubt in his mind before, now the King was completely convinced: this kid named Andrew is a key variable.

The King thought, "Previously when the Queen pushed me back half a step, just now Yorkshire was forcibly pulled into the arena, and Dean Charlie was able to recover quickly from poisoning, it all seems related to this kid Andrew."

Andrew seemed to do nothing, but the King saw that he was actually the key "support."

At this moment, the King made a secret decision: "Next time there's an opportunity, kill the support first! Prioritize eliminating Andrew. His personal strength may not be as strong as Capella, but his impact has already surpassed other Tier Four anomalies. Compared to him, even Capella is inferior."

With that thought, the King resumed his smile, pretending not to hear Capella and Flame Turtle's questions, remaining silent.

Seeing that the King actually doesn't intend to step up and speak, Flame Turtle couldn't help but be both angry and anxious, "Your Majesty, you..."

Beside him, Capella nodded and said, "I see. Understood." She didn't pursue the issue further.

She had obviously already gathered her momentum and power to the extreme, ready to unleash her strongest attack on Barbara at the moment of entering the arena, but now she withdrew so easily. This is not only remarkable in terms of mental acuity but also impressive in professional ability. Normally, a professional making such extreme switches could potentially harm themselves!

Capella's gaze once again fell towards the center of the hall.

Just to see that Barbara and Yorkshire had already started fighting.

At this moment, Yorkshire had certainly figured out why he was inexplicably dragged into the arena.

Undoubtedly, it must have been Andrew who did something when "releasing" Yorkshire earlier. Yorkshire thought to himself that if he couldn't figure this out now, he would not be a Saint Son but a fool.

"But what kind of magic is that guy using?" A thought flashed through Yorkshire's mind.

But quickly, he wiped away that thought from his mind.

Because it was unimportant.

Regardless, as the Saint Son of the Magic Guild, he had been treated as a soft target to squash — this was already a fait accompli.

Yorkshire himself also admitted, just when he figured out what was going on, his mindset shattered, furious, unable to stop trembling all over.

But now, he was no longer angry. Not only not angry, but after being "released" by Andrew, the uneasy feeling of not knowing what kind of plan Andrew had vanished. Instead, it was replaced by determination.

"I will make these bastards of the Warm Fire Commerce Association who look down on me regret choosing me as their opponent! I will make them pay the price!"

Thinking of this, Yorkshire grinned cruelly, "You will regret this, you are about to regret it!"

"Oh, really?" Barbara stood still, indifferent.

The "Heart Fire Series Magic" is known as "Pupil Magic" for a reason. Cultivators of this magic series engage in battle not by making casting gestures with their hands but by wielding magic with their gaze, where magic power naturally forms the magic.

Since entering the arena, Barbara had not moved her feet, only locked her gaze firmly on Yorkshire.

With her gaze, two orange flames, which appeared not fiery but rather warm, transformed into agile Flame Elves, surrounding Yorkshire, converging and dispersing unpredictably from every startling angle and position, targeting Yorkshire's vital spots without restraint.

Compared to manual casting, how much faster is casting with one's gaze? Barbara did not bother to defend herself because the storm-like offensive had already pressed Yorkshire into a purely defensive position with no room for counterattack! Barbara thus became even more reckless, focusing entirely on attacking without defending.

At the same time, Barbara further tapped into the power of the "Fire God Mark" on her forehead. This "Fire God Mark" is derived from the "Warm Fire Order," which is essentially a "Magic Amplifier."

While Barbara continued her offense, she infused the amplified Flame Magic into her attacking magic.

The method of attack increasingly streamlined, yet the force of each magical blow grew heavier!

"Yorkshire's strengths are simple. His magical abilities are not particularly special. What is truly formidable is his unique magic attribute, primarily the Earth Attribute, supplemented by the Flame Attribute, paired with a peculiar pulsating power that leaves the unprepared defenseless."

This was something Andrew told Barbara not long ago, after releasing Yorkshire and returning to their camp to discuss subsequent plans.

Outside the Royal Court, Andrew had the experience of defeating Yorkshire head-on, and at that moment, he shared some of his insights with Barbara: "Against a opponent like Yorkshire, you and I actually have the advantage. Because Barbara, you possess the 'Warm Fire Order' magic amplifier, whereas I, hmm... have magic power much stronger than mages of the same tier. So when fighting Yorkshire, defeat him using his own traits — simplify magic, use magic power stronger than his to crush him!"
