Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 312 - 301: Face the Counterattack! (Part 2)
The two of them jointly cast the Ancient God Series.
Once the Ancient God condensed and took shape, Barbara, standing on the water fish eye of the fire Yin-Yang fish, couldn’t help but glance at Andrew, who was standing on the fire fish eye of the water Yin-Yang fish.
"This feeling is so peculiar." Barbara’s face was strange.
The "Ancient God Series" was the result and achievement from her and Andrew’s cultivation last night.
But this feeling of being a "Magic Lord," Barbara only now truly experienced while being led by Andrew.
Barbara had never had such an experience before.
She felt that she was now essentially a Dragon Slayer representing the world!
"So this feeling that resembles a Magic Lord is what Andrew has been experiencing all along?"
Barbara suddenly felt some regret, "When Andrew was about to tell me his secret last night, I shouldn’t have refused him! Why did I say, ’tell me when you’re truly ready’? I... I want to know right now what this cultivation path is about!"
The path of the Magic Lord is already very familiar to Andrew, but for others in this world, it is actually a very unique, cutting-edge, and innovative cultivation path, no wonder Barbara felt a strong sense of curiosity.
But it’s not just Barbara; Andrew’s current feelings were also very peculiar: "In terms of combat capability, teaming up with Barbara is far more powerful than when each of us fights alone. From now on, as long as Barbara and I act together, there will essentially be no chance for me to strike alone."
This made Andrew couldn’t help but wonder, "Does training personal combat power still have any meaning for me?"
Reflecting on his cultivation path so far: awakening as a Mage in Wildfire Town, then becoming a Magic Lord, after leaving Wildfire Territory for Warm Fire City, he had been perfecting the "Enchanting Finger" to improve his farming abilities.
Truly beginning his cultivation in combat was only from this Royal Court negotiation, enduring the trials of the "Dragon Awakening Potion," and seriously learning the "Counterattack Technique."
He spent a lot of time and effort perfecting his personal combat power, but compared to the powerful force of combining with Barbara now, it seems completely insufficient.
It’s not that Andrew’s individual strength isn’t strong, but the surge of power when teaming up with Barbara is overwhelmingly powerful!
This made Andrew question whether all his efforts on personal combat power training after deciding to participate in the Royal Court negotiation were in vain.
This thought uncontrollably emerged from his heart and lingered in his mind for weeks, refusing to fade.
Until Andrew advanced further and discovered: "With the fusion magic power between me and Barbara as the foundation, only then did this Ancient God come into being; and with this Ancient God as the carrier, it seems that the various secret techniques of the ’Counterattack Technique’ can truly be unleashed!"
Turns out the "Counterattack Technique" wasn’t solely created for either Warm Fire Mage or Water Mage, but tailor-made for Cultivators who practice the unity of Water and Fire.
"That means cultivating the Counterattack Technique strengthens more than just my personal strength, but directly influences the combat power the Ancient God can wield, determining how strong it truly can be!" Understanding this, Andrew naturally no longer felt that his efforts since participating in the Royal Court negotiation were wasted.
From Andrew and Barbara dodging the opposing dragon-shaped violent slash to them jointly casting the Ancient God Series, and condensing that Ancient God holding a shield and spear, the entire process actually happened in a very short time.
The Ancient God Series even alerted and impacted the three Earth Fire Scholars and the Fire Creation Plan.
But it’s not able to cause a change in Capella’s expression.
"Good!"
Capella even applauded Andrew and Barbara’s dodging maneuvers, then twisted her wrist to change "slashing" to "sweeping," delivering a fierce waist slash with the Dragon Transformation Weapon in her hand.
The oversized Dragon Transformation Weapon in the dragon-shaped claw also swept towards the waist of the Ancient God!
From slashing to sweeping, logically speaking, there should be a conversion phase from old force dispersing to new force generating.
Yet Capella seemed to defy the common logic of human exertion, instantaneously, the Axe Spear swept again!
The Locking Power of the Fire of Extinguishing unleashed, acting on Andrew and Barbara, as well as on the Ancient God.
Indeed, just as Orleans once said in Shield of Flowing Fire to Andrew: "Once Capella starts attacking, she won’t stop, instead, she will strike continuously! She will lock onto you and constantly suppress your speed, while her own attack power grows stronger and stronger!"
Orleans also said: "When facing Capella, you can’t retreat, can’t dodge, nor can you just defend and withstand. You have to compete with her in attacking!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
And this was precisely Andrew and Barbara’s response method at the moment: competing to attack.
Or rather, counterattacking!
"Barbara, you haven’t practiced the Counterattack Technique yet, let me lead you now." Andrew transmitted his voice to Barbara. Barbara nodded, effortlessly complying.
Thus, under Andrew’s primary manipulation and Barbara’s primary support and assistance, that Ancient God faced the dragon-shaped Axe Spear sweep without dodging or evading, instead directly placing the shield in front, with a boom it collided with the sweeping Axe Spear.
The intangible Shield of Flowing Water collided with the giant Axe Spear formed from frozen earth.
The result of the collision was that the water shield in the Ancient God’s hand was directly shattered explosively!
Yet, after the water shield shattered, the Ancient God behind the shield had already vanished without a trace.
Andrew is a Magic Lord, Barbara is a Mage, both are Magic Professionals.
Yet the Water and Fire Ancient God they manifested was completely unaffected by the locking power suppression from Capella and Yorkshire’s dragon shapes, instead, it moved with incredible speed! Like a Combat Class expert in speed, like a deep-blue guard wielding a war spear.
Even for the Crimson Knight, while the straight sprint speed is fast, small-scale maneuvering is not particularly adept.
At this moment, the Ancient God’s speed seemed to combine the Crimson Knight’s straight explosive speed with the Desert Hunter’s acceleration in small-range direction changes.
Swoosh! The massive figure of the Ancient God appeared out of nowhere midair behind the dragon shape.
The crowd in the hall couldn’t help but switch from lowering their heads to watch the scene to looking up at the sky.
They saw the Ancient God holding the Crimson Battle Lance, taking advantage of the moment the dragon shape swung the Axe Spear and the water shield collided, it let out a whistling sound, stabbing fiercely from above down into the dragon shape’s back, then crooked out from the front chest, finally without losing momentum pinning the dragon shape to the ground of Eternal Frost Hall.
