Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 466 436: New World

The last ray of sunlight finally disappeared beyond the distant horizon.

Night fell.

The night was especially deep tonight, as the sky of the entire Flame Realm was shrouded by the water curtain that emerged from the collapse of the Water God Realm, leaving the sky devoid of starlight. It seemed as if the whole world had entered an eternal night without light, with only the mighty roar of cascading waterfalls from all directions.

The waterfalls had merged into one, relentlessly washing over everything in the Flame Realm from top to bottom.

Andrew felt an unbearable ache in every bone of his body.

His consciousness seemed on the verge of slipping away. Andrew gritted his teeth, striving to stay alert: "It's not over yet, the work's not done!"

Andrew struggled to lift his head, looking up into the sky.

In what should have been a night without light and only water, there was a faint dark red glow visible in his vision, even the waterfalls forming a continuous curtain couldn't completely conceal that light.

——Lidzmat had somehow reverted to his original form.

His body was like a volcanic mountain range. In terms of size, even Liang's Black Whale form would look insignificant beside Lidzmat.

But Lidzmat, as massive as he was, seemed like a lone leaf in a storm, under the onslaught of the heavenly water that obscured the sky.

"I must retreat," Lidzmat's enormous form swayed, but his resolve was unwavering, "This kid Andrew, he's different from Li and Xu. He's actually thought of using me as raw material to create a new world! Even when Li went mad after Xu died, she never went this far."

Realizing what Andrew intended, Lidzmat made a swift decision: retreat.

He had faced similar situations before.

When first confronted with the combined power of Li and Xu, Lidzmat also chose to withdraw, to avoid the brunt and bide his time.

Lidzmat was not one to give up easily. Regardless of good or evil, when it came to his obsession with consuming, he truly was a formidable figure.

Deciding to "retreat for now" with pragmatism, he also silently resolved: Andrew, must consume him, definitely!

But for now, retreat first!

"Hurt someone and plan to run?" Andrew's voice resounded ahead of Lidzmat, "Sorry, it's too late to leave now."

Finally unable to bear the battering of the waterfalls, Andrew surrendered, letting his body become part of the waterfall.

Transforming into part of the curtain of the world woven from waterfall and night, then once again blocked Lidzmat's escape path ahead.

"Get out of the way!"

Lidzmat let out a Dragon's Roar, accelerating forward.

The direction he moved in was a straight line out of the Flame Realm.

After reaching the world-breaking (creation) stage, one could leave the plane environment, entering cosmic space, traversing interstellar.

Andrew thus exerted every last ounce of strength within him—to counter fire with water, sky against earth, heavenly waterfall against earth fire—entangling Lidzmat, preventing his escape.

"No need to fully stop him, just keep him entangled tightly enough,"

Andrew told himself, "If I can't force a stop, then don't! Entangle, keep entangling, slow his speed, don't let him escape—until the new world takes form!"

By now, the battle had transcended mere power and had become a contest of wills.

"You're annoying!" Lidzmat grew slightly anxious.

Both divine level water element magic professionals, Water God Li was known for her "heaviness." Though a woman, her battle style was straightforward and direct. This change might have been due to the impact of her husband Xu's death on her mentality, altering her combat style accordingly.

In any case, Li fought in a grand, decisive manner.

Andrew, as Li's successor, however, excelled at being "tenacious."

Though absolutely disadvantaged in tier, he stubbornly clung to Lidzmat with his extremely resilient tenacity.

Unable to defeat Lidzmat, yet he ensured Lidzmat couldn't easily crush him.

"But frankly speaking, Lidzmat's power truly is terrifying!" Andrew grew more alarmed as the fight went on.

Despite his disadvantaged tier, he had the elemental attribute advantage, and after becoming intangible, using celestial water against earth fire, his restraint against the opponent was outstandingly effective.

But Lidzmat's terror stemmed not just from his tier and strength, but also his temperament.

Fighting until now, Andrew finally understood why Lidzmat collected so much water resource, refined into ice cream, constantly consuming it without fail.

"——Not because he genuinely likes ice cream! It's because after being heavily injured by Water God, he realized his elemental attribute weakness, so consciously worked to compensate for it."

Andrew thought, "For Lidzmat, ice cream is like poison to ordinary people. He forced himself to engage with the water element continually, gradually training to a certain degree of 'resistance and immunity' to it! That was his goal!"

"I said, get out of the way! Don't block my path!" The dark red flame emitted from Lidzmat's volcano dragon body suddenly retracted.

The world thus plunged into utter darkness, with no remaining light source.

Lidzmat indeed gained some resistance to the water element by consuming ice cream daily, but he knew relying solely on that wouldn't be enough to break through.
