Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 327 - 315: Slaughter
"Hello, descendant of the Water God."
When Gus uttered these words, he himself could hardly believe it.
Earlier, when Andrew and Barbara jointly performed the "Ancient God Series," Gus sensed it and immediately contacted the other two Earth Fire Scholars, deciding to initiate the "Descent."
This was because: the "Ancient God Series" was precisely the sign of the Water God’s descendant reappearing in the world.
Barbara alone, even with the inheritance of the Warm Fire Order, couldn’t possibly perform the "Ancient God Series." All three Earth Fire Scholars were well aware of this, as they had had many encounters with President Beiru, who had also inherited the Warm Fire Order.
To be honest, during the preparation of the "Descent Technique," Gus and the others weren’t entirely certain Andrew was the Water God’s descendant.
Until the "Dragon Decree" came from the "Flame Mountain": "The Royal Court negotiations are over, winning or losing is irrelevant. The next task is singular: eliminate the Water God descendant at all costs!"
This "Dragon Decree" was what truly astonished Gus and his companions.
The Scholar’s Fortress looked westward, its back against the Flame Mountain Range.
Outsiders didn’t know that, intermittently, a "Dragon Decree" would be issued from the Flame Mountain Range.
The entity represented by the "Dragon Decree" was not only the greatest backing of the Magic Guild but also its master.
In most past instances, the content of the Dragon Decree primarily asked the Guild to tribute at least one "Owner of Strange Fire" within a specified time.
The years receiving such a Dragon Decree were termed as "Years of Tribute."
However, this time, the Dragon Decree unprecedentedly demanded "elimination" with absolute determination, disregarding any cost!
"This... this is—?"
Andrew realized the scene before him changed suddenly after Gus Scholar’s statement, "Hello, descendant of the Water God."
Before him was a deep red, like burning lava, yet also somewhat like dried blood. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
The scorching heat seared his skin.
A suffocating sulfuric smell frantically invaded his nostrils!
"Is this Illusion Technique? Desolate Language Series?" Andrew instantly understood that everything before him wasn’t real but rather Gus Scholar’s words "Hello, descendant of the Water God" were, in themselves, an extreme Earth Fire Magic.
It was most probably the Desolate Language Series, renowned alongside the Heart Fire Series.
Andrew had witnessed this series when competing against Desert Speaker Rose in the Inner Sea Desert, and even earlier when facing the old mage Humboldt.
But compared to Gus Scholar’s Desolate Language Series, neither Rose nor Humboldt could compare.
A massive sense of crisis and the terrifying shadow of death loomed over Andrew’s heart.
Andrew strove to remain calm, ignoring the various light and shadow changes around him, and disregarding the searing real heat that seemed ready to roast him alive.
He raised his hand, using his thumb and forefinger to make a pinching gesture.
Strangely, this simple action embodied an incredible power to pierce through illusions, forcibly creating an opening in the boundless Illusion Realm before him, revealing the scene within the Eternal Frost Hall of the Royal Court!
Lifebound Series: Fingertip Series.
Tier Five Water Magic: Desolate Shatter!
This was a highly targeted Water Magic.
As its name implies, it was designed to break the Magic Guild’s "Desolate Language Series" with a Soul Magic technique.
"Hmph, is this the method of the Water God?" an unfamiliar old voice resonated, "With Tier Five power, you forcibly shattered the Desolate Language Series of an Earth Fire Mage in the Magic Guide Realm—you really are the Water God’s descendant, you little brat!"
Andrew had just broken through the Illusion Realm. As his vision returned to the Eternal Frost Hall, he saw a towering, massive, mountain-like fat old man, looking down at him.
This old man was named Gusxing, master of the "Land Star Technique."
Before Andrew had even broken through to Tier Four, Gusxing had already predicted through the "Land Star Technique" that besides Barbara and Orleans, there was another demon-level youth within the Warm Fire Commerce Association. That person was Havier.
Now, Gusxing stood mountain-like before Andrew.
Behind him, the third Earth Fire Scholar, Gutox, had already firmly subdued Dean Charlie, who was originally blocking Andrew.
"So, this is... complete confirmation that I am the Water God’s descendant, and the visit to the Royal Court was solely to kill me." A realization dawned on Andrew’s mind.
Yet, it remained unclear: "Exactly at which point did I slip up and expose my identity?"
Was it because of the Water and Fire United, the joint Ancient God Series with Barbara?
Or was it the subsequent confrontation with Capella, who manipulated the Single Finger Dragon Shadow?
Regardless, it must have been during the third all-out negotiation contest that something went awry!
In truth, when despair reaches its zenith, one ceases to feel despair.
As a Tier Five, being targeted simultaneously by three Tier Nine and above, Magic Guide Realm Earth Fire Scholars made escape impossible.
Even Beiru, when ambushed by Gus, Gusxing, and Gutox, might suffer heavily and be severely wounded or even killed on the spot.
Andrew’s only option was: with all his might, throw Barbara aside towards Catherine’s direction, hoping Catherine could help Barbara escape.
Andrew, meanwhile, after pushing Barbara away, braced himself, advancing towards Gusxing.
Swiftly.
The three Earth Fire Scholars arrived quietly and methodically, but when they attacked Andrew, it was with lightning speed, giving no one present time to react.
Many on site instinctively pondered "what is a Water God descendant?" while top experts like the Royal Assassin and Flame Turtle had already seen: Andrew would die the next second under the joint attack of the three Earth Fire Scholars.
"Andrew!!" Barbara screamed, her body uncontrollably flying towards Catherine.
A thunderous explosion resounded!
Barbara froze, seeing a scarlet stream of light shoot in from outside the Royal Court, instantly enveloping Andrew, pulling him away in the nick of time.
After enveloping Andrew, the stream of light wrapped around Dean Charlie, then charged straight at Barbara, enveloping her too before landing by Havier and Sabye.
The light dissipated, revealing a figure.
Seeing the figure, Barbara’s eyes widened: "Mother?"
The newcomer was none other than the wife of the president of the Warm Fire Commerce Association, Yi Lian!
"Madam Yi Lian?!" Andrew, having narrowly escaped death, was equally shocked upon seeing Madam Yi Lian.
No time for questions, they saw a giant flaming hand form in the air above the Eternal Frost Hall, and it crashed down with a roar, pulverizing the "Ring of Uranus" into ice shards, then continued pressing down, finally slamming into Gusxing and Gutox, the two Earth Fire Scholars.
