Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 454 429: Fundamental Rules (Part 2)

Another Magic Guide Realm is born.

Moreover, it's currently the first true professional to simultaneously possess two Strange Fires — Orange Flame Warm Fire and Fire of Life!

The two Strange Fires within Barbara have no conflict at all. After all, the "Fire of Life" is built on the foundation of the "Orange Flame Warm Fire."

As for Andrew himself...

Andrew confirms he has fallen from the Divine Level, and is still at the peak of the Magic Guide Realm, seemingly unchanged.

Strangely, however, Andrew finds that, though he hasn't reached the Divine Level, he can clearly see the storms of rules within this universe.

Reaching out his hand to touch, the storms of rules which should only be touched by the Divine Level, dance lively at his fingertips without harming his fingers at all!

"What's going on? Could there be a similar 'War God Level' in between the Magic Guide Realm and the Divine Level?" Andrew is both pleased and confused.

There is a War God Level between Tier Nine and Magic Guide Realm.

Could there be a similar intermediary level between the Magic Guide Realm and Divine Level?

Andrew finds it difficult to confirm.

He vaguely feels that it might not be that simple.

Because now, he can not only touch those storms of rules with the level of the Magic Guide Realm.

Andrew also sees: the storms of rules are not purely chaotic, but appear to be... divided into two layers!

The portion of rule storms clearer to him now is primarily violent, only calming briefly when he reaches out to touch them.

In deeper layers, at the eye of the storm, however, the rules of the world are incomparably calm and peaceful.

"Could that be... the underlying rules?" Andrew suddenly wonders.

A person's level and realm might not always perfectly match their understanding of cultivation.

For instance, Water God Li, when Water God Li fought Lidzmat with a Divine Level, but in fact, Water God had already touched the "underlying rules" of the world!

Divine Level qualifies one to access the surface rules of the world.

The Realm of Creation above the Divine Level, which is currently the highest known level for professionals, allows access beyond the surface rules to the underlying rules.

No doubt the Water God, in life's final moments, had comprehended the Realm of Creation, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to create the Water God Realm.

Yet her tier, strength, and combat power couldn't completely keep up because of severe injuries from the fierce battle with Lidzmat.

Andrew wonders if his understanding might be at the Divine Level already, perhaps even glimpsing those underlying rules while his level has temporarily not kept up, still staying at the peak of the Magic Guide Realm?

Before he could think more, he heard a voice shout, "Who's there?!"

Andrew was startled, thinking Holigar was dead, the Dragon Stone Tower had fallen, and the Scholar's Fortress had crumbled in the battle. The elite of the guild was slaughtered by Holigar himself — the Magic Guild is finished. Even if there are a few remnants stubbornly resisting, they wouldn't stir much trouble.

"The only thing left is the Dragon of Greed deep in the Thebes Mountain Range, Lidzmat."

Andrew felt in horror, "Could it be that Lidzmat has come? It shouldn't be, right? It was severely injured by Water God Li in ancient times and is strictly in a sealed sleep state, and the Water God Realm is essentially a creation divine artifact for suppressing it from afar.

I have a tight resonance and connection with the Water God Realm. If Lidzmat were to show signs of revival, I should be able to sense it first through the Water God Realm."

According to Andrew's thoughts, after killing Holigar and destroying the Magic Guild, haste was unnecessary. It was best to recuperate for a period, gather the strength of the world, while he and Barbara should advance further, at least to a point they can steadily maintain the state of Water and Fire United, before dealing with Lidzmat, which would be the most solid approach.

Suddenly, he hears a shout, "Who's there?!"

Andrew immediately looks up and sees—

A woman seemingly emerging from the snow, walking towards them.

The firewall constructed from Necromancy Purple Fire had disappeared with Holigar's demise.

The Water Mages knelt one by one, tears in their eyes, "Lady Li... Ugh, Lord Andrew avenged you!"

With Holigar dead, the Dragon Stone Tower and Scholar's Fortress collapsed—the Magic Guild that dominated the Flame Realm for endless ages, is now destroyed.

Without exaggeration, this marks the end of an era!

Chairman Beiru cried.

Having endured immense pressure without showing it, at this moment, having finally fulfilled the mission of the commerce association's presidents throughout the ages, he could no longer suppress the deep pain in his heart, the enormous grief at Peter's death and earlier when his eldest daughter was killed by the second daughter, which he wanted to express but couldn't reveal.

As for the others, they were initially incredulous when they saw Andrew and Barbara instantly kill Holigar.

Upon confirming Holigar's death, they slowly returned to their senses, gradually experiencing the joy within themselves!

But soon, even joy was pushed aside.

Because everyone saw the woman emitting icy aura approaching.

"Who is it?!"

During the fight, the elders from Retirement Land, Elder Yao from Warm Fire Temple, Vice Captain Linda, and those specializing in healing, enhancement, and support naturally stood at the rear alongside the mixed-anthropoid teams.
