Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 382 - 370: Facing the Carnage

"We did it..."

Andrew watched the last fragment of the female warrior chief fall into the water after her death, not feeling any pride, but rather thinking, "I really killed her."

Before actually succeeding, Andrew himself was unsure if he could do it.

Recalling the black Crab Armor that appeared on the opponent’s body just now, Andrew felt a vague sense of fear: "If I had been a moment slower, or if she had given her all from the beginning, Pasha and I couldn’t possibly have killed her."

Andrew didn’t realize he was a bit overestimating the female warrior chief.

The female warrior chief’s unique method of merging the Fire of Extinguishing into the Dragon Transformation Armor and shaping the Crab Armor was quite unique.

In terms of mastery in the new generation of Dragon Transformation Combat Techniques, she ranks second only to the first Flame Warrior Arrogant and the First Saintess Capella within the Magic Guild.

But her Crab Armor isn’t a technique that can be used frequently.

If not careful, the Crab Armor will lose control and backfire.

So the female warrior chief usually doesn’t use that move unless in critical moments.

"Phew..."

Andrew activated the "Water Spirit Technique," dispelling the negative feelings of fear, and returned to a state of calmness.

However, just as he adjusted himself, a soft yet powerless body collapsed onto him.

Pasha fainted.

After Andrew pierced the female warrior chief with a spear, Pasha took over from Andrew, holding the war spear steady so that Andrew could blow the horn.

But precisely because of this, the Dragon’s breath from the female warrior chief was actually borne by Pasha!

Currently, Pasha was badly injured. She not only lost consciousness, but even the vitality within her was weakening visibly.

She was about to die, yet she was still tightly holding onto the black mysterious water war spear!

Without a word, Andrew rallied all healing magic from the "Water Priestess Series," except for the highest level "Revive."

Then he connected these spells together, one after another in a chain.

A figure entirely formed by water elements, an image of a female priestess, quietly appeared. Her face was beautiful, dressed in a loose moon-white robe, with a water-blue headband, exuding an infinitely gentle aura like a mother.

This water priestess was at least ten meters tall, and after forming, she bent down as if holding an infant, embracing the unconscious Pasha.

Pasha was truly devoid of breath, for a moment she indeed lacked the aura of a living being, but being held in the water priestess’s embrace, her aura rebounded from the bottom, starting to recover slowly but steadily.

Andrew staggered, having just engaged in a great battle and then used such a high level of healing magic, even as a Magic Lord who had reached Tier Six and established resonance with the Water God Realm, Andrew felt his body nearing its limit.

But Andrew gritted his teeth and didn’t relax because even though the female warrior chief was dead, the battle wasn’t over.

To be more precise, the battle had just begun.

Andrew steadied himself, looked up, and saw the true main force formed by water mages advancing upon hearing his horn, riding the waves towards the enemy.

Huge waves converged from all directions, like countless water arrows aimed uniformly at the circle formed by the Flame Warriors.

And Andrew stood at the center of the encirclement, observing from his perspective as if those riding the waves were not only charging at the Flame Warriors, but also coming towards him.

Though he knew these were allies who had agreed to use the horn as a signal beforehand.

Yet at this moment, facing the enormous wave, Andrew felt a primal fear of water!

Understand that killing the female warrior chief happened in an instant.

Because it was quick and sudden, the female warrior chief was caught off guard and died.

But in such a short time, the waves had already arrived from afar.

Too fast, incredibly fast!

Like when one sees a flood, it’s already too late to escape...

Like when one sees a tsunami, it’s almost unavoidable...

The water advancing in formation, its straight-line speed seemed almost equal to the top-notch Crimson Knight!

The water mages came silently, without shouting or roaring, yet the waves they rode emitted sounds greater than any battle cry!

That profound sound contained one emotion—anger!

Andrew understood where that anger came from—

The vanguard had almost been entirely wiped out.

Originally, when the horn sounded and the main force advanced, the vanguard could retreat.

Andrew remembered clearly that according to his agreed combat plan, the water mages of the vanguard should have retreated the moment the horn sounded, regroup with the main force, then charge together.

But they didn’t.

No one retreated.

Everyone’s actions and the beliefs behind them were uniformly focused on: "Absolutely ensure, and ensure 100%, that before the main force arrives, the Theban Battle Array of the Flame Warriors is in a fragmented state! This must be ensured!"

Andrew’s eyes involuntarily reddened.

Seeing the last member of the vanguard still tangled in the corpse of a Flame Warrior, after being angrily flung away, the Flame Warriors couldn’t quickly reform the Theban Battle Array.

Because the main force came surging in, crashing fiercely into the Flame Warriors’ formation!

If the water mages were waves, the Flame Warriors were rocks.

Normally, even if the waves fiercely hit the rocks, they inevitably shatter into sprays of water.

Indeed, the moment the two sides collided, a large number of front-line water mages instantly perished.

But the water mages didn’t stop; they kept moving forward, tearing open a huge gap in the Flame Warriors’ formation with a fierce thrust!

"Hold, hold!!" The Flame Warriors roared, trying to block the gap.

However, the water mages recklessly poured in through that gap, engaging the Flame Warriors in close combat as mages.

Even though these Water God Realm’s water mages evolved into a style similar to "close combat mages" over long ages, mages are fundamentally magic professionals, not true combat class.

The only reason to attack the Flame Warriors’ formation this way was to completely prevent them from reforming the Theban Battle Array!

The Flame Warriors’ formation, under the attack of the water mages, could no longer maintain its integrity and was divided into several pieces.

The problem is... the cost the water mages paid to achieve this is somewhat too high.

After scattering and slicing the enemies, subsequent termination and encroachment started to show signs of exhaustion!

On the contrary, the Flame Warriors, after being dispersed, didn’t attempt to reform the Theban Battle Array but engaged in close combat with the approaching water mages.

In an extremely short time, the casualties on the Flame Warriors’ side became as appalling as those on the water mages’ side. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

But the Flame Warriors held on; they didn’t completely collapse under the water mages’ assault but instead, after scattering into several battle groups, gradually launched vigorous counterattacks, transforming from defense to a deadlock, and further exhibiting signs of counteroffensive.
