Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 453 429: Underlying Rules

"Help, help! Cooperate with them!" Outside the wall of Necromancy Purple Fire, President Beiru's face was extremely pale due to his injuries, yet he still shouted anxiously.

It was he who devised the battle plan. He and Holigar were old rivals and he knew that they must go all out to have any chance of completely killing the other party, leaving no variables.

In fact, without President Beiru's words, everyone had already been constantly trying to break through that purple fire wall.

Though everyone present heard the conversation between Holigar, Barbara, and Andrew, they still couldn't quite believe that Andrew and Barbara were truly at the Divine Level.

Until this moment.

Inside the fire wall, after one strike from Andrew and Barbara, Holigar was obviously stunned for a moment, and then on his face, a look of horror and fear gradually emerged.

Holigar opened his mouth wide but couldn't make any sound.

Soon, under the amazed and shocked gazes of everyone present, Holigar's left eye and right ear simultaneously exploded, as if unable to bear some sort of sudden violent pressure inside his body.

When his left eye burst, it spewed forth the eerie Necromancy Purple Fire, and after his right ear burst, what sprayed from his skull was thick Molten Rock Fire!

"What's going on?" Everyone outside the fire wall was puzzled.

Inside the fire wall, Holigar also wanted to ask, "What's going on?!"

Barbara's unparalleled pupil power clearly saw the distribution of the two Strange Fires inside Holigar's body and then shared it with Andrew.

Andrew then used the same method as he did against Catherine, replicating it on Holigar: not attacking Holigar himself, but precisely shattering the fragile balance between the two Strange Fires in his body!

After one strike, the aura of Andrew and Barbara quickly receded and they couldn't maintain the Divine Level continuously.

Utilizing Water and Fire United, they more resembled having temporarily gained Divine Level combat power, rather than truly breaking into the Divine Domain stably.

With a thud, Holigar's knees hit the ground, and he knelt down.

His aura visibly dropped back to the Magic Guide Realm, then down to Tier Nine, Tier Eight... plummeting all the way down.

He was thoroughly beaten down from the Divine Level, plummeting all the way.

"How... how could this happen...?"

Holigar was in such pain that his whole body was twitching and twisting, yet his remaining right eye was staring dead at Andrew and Barbara, "We are both Divine Level, why... why am I...?"

He couldn't comprehend why he was so easily defeated?!

Relying on his Divine Level powers, he once crushed many of the Magic Guide Realm powerhouses present, which gave Holigar immense confidence in his own powers once he no longer restrained himself.

But what he couldn't understand was: without relying on tier suppression, in equal-tier battles, he was always just flashy but without substance!

Back when President Beiru held the Warm Fire Order, time and again fighting one against three, he repeatedly verified this point.

Today, Andrew and Barbara joined forces to prove once again: once both sides are at the Divine Level, the one getting crushed will certainly be Holigar!

Unfortunately, Holigar wouldn't think of this, and even if he did, he wouldn't admit or accept it.

He was still thinking of his dragon-devouring plan: "Ah, I haven't completed... my dragon-devouring... dragon-devouring plan...! Lidzmat... Lidzmat!"

His tier plummeted all the way to a level even lower than a Tier One Mage, down to the level of a Magic Apprentice.

Suddenly, Holigar bit his tongue and then spewed out a mouthful of blood.

As a proud person who fancied himself a genius, he would not allow himself to die as an ordinary person after struggling hard his entire life.

Therefore, when his tier was about to fall below the Magic Apprentice Realm and was about to regress to an ordinary person, he... took his own life.

He ultimately died with eyes wide open, at the level of a Magic Apprentice.

"Are you okay? Are you alright?" Andrew looked at Barbara.

Neither Andrew nor Barbara seemed to be in a good state.

The Divine Level is not a field that can be easily ventured into, after all.

By harnessing Water and Fire United, temporarily elevating to the Divine Level, and defeating Holigar with one strike, Andrew and Barbara were both utterly exhausted themselves, as if they had just gone through a three-day and three-night battle.

"I... I'm fine..." Barbara had trouble speaking, yet she was still struggling to rise, "My mom, my mom, she—"

"The lady's fine." The voice of Medicine Elder came. He and Deputy Captain Linda, together, finally managed to save the severely injured Madam Yi Lian.

Barbara finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to see that Andrew, despite being extremely fatigued, was dragging himself to stand up again.

Step by step, he slowly walked over to Holigar's corpse. After confirming repeatedly that the leader of the Magic Guild was truly dead and there would be no further mishaps, Andrew finally collapsed to the ground as if completely exhausted: "I'm so tired..."

If utilizing Water and Fire United to get a temporary "Divine Level experience card" requires a price to be paid, then Andrew actually willingly bore most of it just now.

Barbara, after all, wasn't of the same tier and couldn't withstand too much of it.

Of course, bearing such a burden wasn't without its benefits.

After they disengaged from the united state of Water and Fire United, Barbara's tier quickly fell from the Divine Level back to the peak of the Magic Guide Realm, then further to the normal Magic Guide Realm, then to the initial stage of the Magic Guide Realm, and then... it stopped.

She did not fall back to Tier Nine!
