Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 372 - 360: Steam and Sword

The first Blood of the Fire God was accepted by the Water God Mark.

Since Andrew obtained this mark, the various Water Magic Series within it were displayed as neatly as in a library. Even the High Tier magic spells that he couldn’t use yet were visible to Andrew, albeit requiring an upgrade to a sufficient tier to be exchanged using Fire Extinguishing Value.

Strangely, the first Blood of the Fire God, once absorbed by the Water God Mark, seemed to vanish like a clay ox into the sea, leaving no trace of its presence.

It seemed as though there was a hidden corner in the Water God Mark, which even Andrew could not detect!

Andrew couldn’t help but think, "Could it be that the melodious female voice is hidden in this mark, somewhere beyond my sight?" He continued to ponder, "Why did she take away the first Blood of the Fire God? If this voice indeed belongs to the Water God, what is the relationship between her and the Fire God?"

At this moment, the second Blood of the Fire God was delivered into the Gate of Enlightenment within his dantian.

The melodious female voice had accepted the first blood without any explanation.

This time, however, she spoke, "Andrew, please take this blood back to the Flame Realm and hand it over to the Warm Fire Commerce Association, would you?"

Andrew had already planned to do so. He nodded and said, "Alright."

After a moment’s thought, he couldn’t help but ask, "About the first blood, you—"

Andrew couldn’t continue.

He watched as the remaining portion of the blood gently merged into his body!

The melodious female voice said, "This one is for you. Thank you for reclaiming my husband’s blood, thank you..." The voice gradually faded, just as it had appeared suddenly, and disappeared without lingering.

"Hey, hey, don’t always do that. You mean the Fire God was your husband? So, the woman in the ice coffin is your and the Fire God’s daughter?" Andrew wanted to speak and call out, if only for a momentary pause.

But he was rendered speechless for the moment.

The third portion of the blood silently merged with his body, and although it wasn’t as overwhelmingly heavy as before or showing signs of going out of control, it still sent a tremor throughout Andrew’s body.

Originally, although Andrew had broken through to Tier Six during battle, strictly speaking, the tier level after the breakthrough was not particularly stable.

If severely injured during a fight, he might even be knocked back to a Tier Five level.

Yet at this moment, when the Blood of the Fire God merged into his body, Andrew immediately felt his tier level completely stabilize.

Even some minor injuries sustained during his showdown with Liek began to quickly recover and heal.

Whoosh! Andrew could almost hear the powerful divine force contained in the Blood of the Fire God surging within him.

"This feeling... is quite peculiar!" After an instinctive moment of panic, Andrew quickly calmed down.

Even though the voice didn’t say much, Andrew knew that this was a precious gift from the melodious voice, the Water God.

The value of which might even rival the Water God Mark itself!

"Previously, before I practiced Water and Fire United with Barbara, my elemental attribute was purely water-based."

"Water and Fire United provided me with an additional power of the Fire Element. At that time, my overall elemental energy was still balanced and stable."

"But later, after obtaining the Ice Prison Gemstone, though I gained additional Ice Power, overall, the elemental attributes within my body became somewhat ’unbalanced’ and ’unstable.’" Andrew was well aware of the changes he had undergone.

Simply put, the Ice Power from the Ice Prison Gemstone was somewhat excessive.

It somewhat suppressed the Fire Element Attribute acquired from Barbara.

This seemingly insignificant imbalance in internal elements actually harbored risks.

Andrew had not forgotten that Catherine fell into his hands partly because she was seriously injured by Chairman Beiru while breaking out of the Royal Court, sacrificing an arm, and partly because her internal powers were unbalanced.

Her body contained two conflicting Strange Fires, which were maintained in balance using Ice Power from the Royal Court.

Andrew’s method of defeating and capturing her was to rely on the Ice Prison Gemstone, proactively offering her a large amount of Ice Power, thereby breaking the balance within her body.

"I could also have been at risk of this kind. I could have been exploited in a similar way as Catherine was."

Andrew thought, "But now it seems to be no longer a problem, absolutely no problem!"

As the power of the Blood of the Fire God infused him, the previously excessive Ice Power was partially melted, turning into water, and seamlessly merged into Andrew’s existing Water Power.

The power of the Blood of the Fire God continued to act, and gradually, Andrew sensed that a small portion of the Water Element Power within him was heated by the fire, rising into a warm, misty "steam"—the steam being the gaseous state of water.

The steam, upon encountering the Ice Power, re-condensed into rainwater.

The rainwater, upon cooling, turned into frost, then into snow.

Andrew’s primary elemental attribute remained water; he was still a Water Magic Lord.

However, at this moment, Andrew was fundamentally different from before: previously, there was only one form of "water," but now there were various forms in which water could exist: steam, rain, frost, snow, and water itself!

The power of the Fire Element, like a temperature regulator, allowed Andrew to freely control what specific form he wanted his Water Element Power to take.

"So, is this the true Water and Fire United?" Andrew murmured, "Is this what the Water and Fire United between the Fire God and the Water God was back then? A more advanced form of Water and Fire United?!"

On the surface, there seemed to be nothing apparent, but internally, Andrew just felt a profound warmth, an indescribable comfort.

The heat of fire warmed the surrounding water.

This warmth transformed into a gentle yet determined force, propelling the mysterious black runes that appeared on Andrew’s body surface after breaking through to Tier Six to slowly flow over his skin, beneath his skin, and within his body.

All the black runes eventually flowed to Andrew’s left hand.

A thought occurred to Andrew, activating his Lifebound Magic Series: Fingertip Series.

Thus, the black magic runes flowed over his wrist, across his palm, along his fingers, and finally from the tips of his fingers... slowly emerged!

Andrew gently rotated his wrist, causing his fingers to turn.

The flowing black runes twisted along with them, intertwining and ultimately forming a sword exuding a tranquil, stable, composed, and sturdy aura, with an entirely black appearance. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As a Water Magic Lord, a Magic Professional, Andrew had surprisingly condensed a sword!

Looking across the history of the Flame Realm and the Outer Battlefield, likely no mage had ever condensed such a weapon typically used by Warriors.

But this was the Lifebound Magical Artifact that Andrew had ultimately formed upon reaching Tier Six.

A body that, though outwardly appeared not particularly formidable, inwardly was exceptionally resilient.

And a pure black... Heavy Sword, as if naturally extended from his body.
