Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 356 - 344: Confrontation

"..." Pasha stared at Andrew.

Hesitation still lingered in her eyes.

Andrew said nothing more, just waved his hand, turned around, and expressed a single message through his actions: you go take care of your sister, I’ll keep watch and stay on alert.

Simultaneously, Andrew discreetly flicked his finger, activating the "Fingertip Series." A magic watermark, even more concealed than the "Tear Mark" he had used against Desert Speaker Rose in the Inner Sea Desert, silently flew from Andrew’s fingertip and landed on Pasha, merging in without a sound.

Sharp as she was, Pasha was completely unaware of this.

Instead, seeing Andrew’s effort to avoid suspicion by keeping watch, Pasha’s gaze shifted, and the invisible scale in her heart seemed to tilt back in Andrew’s favor. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

However, at that moment, there was a sudden splash!

Pasha’s "sister"—which was actually Liek’s Desolate Language Avatar—under Liek’s control as he approached, seemed to exhaust her strength and fell headlong, slowly sinking into the water with a "gurgle."

It was too realistic, this scene was truly too realistic!

Logically, the "Desolate Language Series" is a soul-class earth fire magic; even at the pinnacle of Tier Nine earth fire mages, or even at higher War God Level and Magic Guide levels, one would not likely be able to use soul power as material to solidify such a realistic entity.

Yet Liek had caused this avatar, formed from soul power, to become fully substantial, even to the point of being corporeal!

"Sister!"

Seeing her sister fall into the water, Pasha couldn’t concern herself with whether Andrew was a traitor; the magic turbines on her shoulders whirred at full speed, and the pair of magic wings on her ankles flapped rapidly as she rushed over as quickly as possible.

She pulled "sister" out of the water in one swift motion.

Just to see a wound on "sister’s" abdomen, clearly... a wound that only a Water Mage could inflict!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Pasha’s "sister" weakly coughed, seemingly disoriented, but even in her semi-conscious state, she still muttered, "Escape... run... traitor... that’s a traitor..."

At that moment, Pasha gritted her teeth, and a look of determination finally flashed in her eyes.

"Sister, hold on, I’ll find someone to help right away!"

She pressed down on a wound on "sister’s" abdomen with a trembling hand and shouted, "Mr. Wanda Wise! Help me, please help save my sister!"

—Pasha still believed that Mr. Wanda Wise was not a traitor!

Although she wasn’t good at quick response, she wasn’t foolish; when she had first met Andrew, she had indeed doubted the possibility that Andrew might be a traitor. In fact, before Andrew said he was "someone sent by Lord Li for support," Pasha had been extremely wary of him.

"But... Mr. Wanda Wise, he really can’t be a traitor!"

A voice within Pasha’s heart spoke with utmost certainty.

Not just because Andrew said he was sent by Lord Li.

But also because from Andrew, Pasha sensed a unique aura that was incredibly reassuring.

Pasha had never felt anything similar from anyone else.

Not even Lord Li from headquarters gave Pasha the feeling Andrew did.

Pasha did not know that this feeling of innate closeness and reassurance originated from Andrew’s identity as the heir to the Water God and the Water God Mark on his forehead.

She just felt: "Anyone who gives me this feeling could never be a traitor! Absolutely not!"

"Pasha’s sister" finally stopped slandering Andrew as a traitor, but her body continued to grow cold.

Pasha was getting anxious to the point of tears, "Mr. Wanda Wise, please come help!"

She turned and shouted to Andrew, "You... you don’t have to avoid us to avoid suspicion! It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have doubted you—"

Pasha’s voice suddenly stopped.

She saw that behind her, a new figure had appeared, but it wasn’t the Mr. Wanda Wise she had been calling for, it was... another sister!

A woman who looked exactly like the one Pasha held was standing expressionlessly behind her, looking down at Pasha as if she were already dead!

"What, I was planning to stall a bit and wait for the real me to arrive before making a move, but you guys are too easy to deceive, aren’t you?"

The "sister" behind Pasha spoke up in a voice that Pasha had never heard, a young man’s voice.

It was Liek’s voice!

"Seems like there’s no need to delay for the real me; I can conclude this right now," said the "sister" in Pasha’s arms, who had seemingly lost consciousness moments ago.

At this instant, Pasha felt her entire body break into cold sweat.

A thought flashed through her mind: "This... this isn’t my sister?! This is the enemy!!"

This time Pasha reacted quickly and immediately tried to pull back.

However, the "sister" in her arms grabbed her arm in retaliation, preventing her from breaking free.

At the same time, the "sister" behind her transformed her palm into a blade, and the magic hand blade, like a dark red shadow in the night, swiftly approached Pasha!

In terms of speed, this simple magic hand blade executed by Liek controlling the avatar was almost too fast for an Earth Fire Mage. The speed of the move did not cause any disturbance in the air or the elemental power within it!

The breath of death shrouded Pasha in an instant.

"Hey hey, can’t believe you slander me saying I’m a traitor and then try to kill my friend right in front of me? That’s a bit too disrespectful, isn’t it?" a voice emerged—it was Andrew, who had been collaborating with Liek in the act just seconds ago.

The moment the words fell, a miniature magic watermark flew out of Pasha’s body, instantly transforming into a small water shield that firmly blocked the hand blade from Liek’s Desolate Language Avatar!

Andrew had been thinking about how to expose the enemy’s disguise.

Never expected Pasha to choose to trust him first, followed by their enemy directly making a murderous move against Pasha.

While Andrew reacted instantly to block the attack, he also moved to Pasha’s side.

With both hands, he reached toward the two "Pasha’s sisters," with fingertips winding in rapidly spinning miniature streams.

Tier Seven Water Magic: Illusion-Breaking Vortex!

Water Magic and Earth Fire Magic are different, being "branch-distributed" instead of "pyramid-shaped," meaning the higher the tier, the more Water Magic there is, as opposed to the fewer but more refined number of higher-tier Earth Fire Magics. They are two different ideas.

This "Illusion-Breaking Vortex" is specifically designed to shatter various illusions, disguises, and facades!

"Wait! Don’t!" Pasha instinctively cried out.

Both "sisters" in her vision, beneath Andrew’s clawed fingers, shattered like earthenware, lacking any semblance of flesh and blood!

In their place, a Mini Fire Dragon silently appeared behind Andrew, its small face showing a human-like mocking expression: "Really easy to deceive, eh? Just make a move like I’m going to attack, and you can’t sit still?"

A tiny dagger quietly appeared in the mini Fire Dragon’s small paw.

Liek manipulated his avatar to stab the dagger at Andrew’s back.

Strangely, although the blow was clearly aimed at Andrew’s back, midway through, it seemed to disappear into the void, and the sharp tip of the dagger emerged from the air in front of Andrew.

Andrew had already consolidated three water shields on his back and didn’t anticipate the enemy’s attack would have such a void-traversing property!

There was a soft sound—

Andrew’s body shook slightly as he looked down in shock.

He saw the dagger, formed from flame, had pierced deeply into his chest from the front.
