Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 352 - 340: A Request for Help

Andrew didn’t know why this was happening.

It is known that the path of magic cultivation, Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three, are generally considered as foundational stages.

Tier Four, Tier Five, and Tier Six are stages focused on improving "combat power."

And when a mage reaches the peak of Tier Six, in a certain sense, this mage as an "individual" has already reached an extreme to some extent. Even if Andrew has carved out a unique path of a Magic Lord based on traditional Water Mage practices, thereby changing his own form of life by extending the concept of the "individual" from himself to his territory, once he reaches the peak of Tier Six, the significance of Andrew further expanding his territory would diminish.

Beyond the peak of Tier Six, the path of magic cultivation beginning from Tier Seven requires an increasing focus on the external, that is, studying "how to harness the forces of the world."

This borrowing of external forces is different from Andrew as a Magic Lord, coordinating the power of his territory and concentrating it within himself.

No matter how large the territory, it can only enhance one’s magic power and combat power, but it cannot allow one to tread the waves, let alone fly.

Both wave treading and flying can only be achieved through true resonance with the forces of the world, which are disconnected from power.

"Perhaps, after coming to this Outer Battlefield, the environment of this battlefield naturally resonated with me, helping me to feel in advance a certain peculiar realm that one would typically experience only after reaching Tier Seven?"

Andrew had this suspicion but was not certain.

As he ran and felt more meticulously, it became increasingly certain—

First, once he enters this state of resonance with the entire Outer Battlefield, claiming to be invincible would be an exaggeration. However, indeed, in this state, it is as if he possesses the strength comparable to Tier Seven in advance.

Second, this peculiar state of resonance allows Andrew’s magic power to gradually begin a further transformation!

Previously, in the Royal Court, not only did Andrew break through to Tier Five, but he also faintly touched a thread of the threshold of condensing a "Lifebound Magic Staff," which is a further step to Tier Six, during his battle with Capella.

Now, he felt that sensation once again.

"In other words, by experiencing the resonance state of Tier Seven in advance, it inversely stimulates my magic power to start advancing from Tier Five towards Tier Six?" Andrew himself was secretly surprised by this cultivation speed, but more so, he felt excitement and anticipation.

After all, experiencing the resonance state of Tier Seven in advance or something like that, once he leaves this Outer Battlefield, may no longer be available.

But if he can use this state to further advance himself, reach Tier Six, and condense his Lifebound Magic Staff, then even if he leaves the Outer Battlefield and returns to the Flame Realm, his strength will not be affected at all and will still be genuinely Tier Six!

This pure cultivation is extremely enjoyable.

Andrew was actually very anxious, and he became very anxious after entering the Outer Battlefield.

Because this Outer Battlefield, as a battlefield, is really unlike a battlefield.

Andrew was striving to maintain composure, even considering in his heart whether he should directly use "Water Prison Training"—a kind of Soul Magic—on Pasha to search memories and explore what this Outer Battlefield is all about.

At this moment, running upon the waves and peacefully sensing every subtle change around him, Andrew’s heart gradually calmed down completely, no longer needing to rely on "Water Spirit Technique" for suppression and peace.

"Uh, could I trouble you for a favor, Mr. Wanda Wise?"

Pasha, who was leading the way diagonally in front, suddenly asked.

While speaking, she didn’t stop her pace, but continued feeling something and constantly adjusted her direction while moving at high speed.

Indeed, Andrew had noticed that they weren’t heading in a straight line towards a fixed position.

It seemed that the location of that headquarters was constantly changing.

And Pasha seemed to have some method to sense and lock the location of that headquarters!

"Well, go ahead, as long as it doesn’t affect our main task."

Andrew continued to play a somewhat indifferent persona on the surface, but in reality, the moment he heard Pasha’s question, his spirit was stirred.

Though he had already resolved, before reaching that headquarters, to not ask too many questions and not speak much to avoid revealing any flaws, intending to save everything for after reaching the headquarters.

But such an opportunity presenting itself could not be wasted, could it?

From a strategic standpoint, it is worth knowing that not long ago, still in the Flame Realm, the moment of capturing Catherine was like securing the important strategic point of the Royal Court.

The Royal Court and the super fortress "Crimson Battle Lance" alike are super strongholds on the east-west dividing line.

Also, Andrew’s Wildfire Territory, similarly on the dividing line, is actually not too far from both the Crimson Battle Lance and the Dragon’s Nest, these two super fortresses.

It can be said that on the east-west dividing line, apart from the Southern Retreat Land and the Dragon’s Nest, the Warm Fire Commerce Association has already captured all remaining outposts on this side.

These outposts, with the entire east controlled by the Warm Fire Commerce Association as a backing, are indeed each a forward base for further advancing attacks on the Magic Guild, aren’t they?

"Simply put, after capturing the Royal Court, the next stage is truly about dividing a victory or defeat with the Magic Guild!" Andrew understood in his mind, "Chairman Beiru also understood this point, which is why he let me execute a mission in this Outer Battlefield while he draws attention and buys time in the Flame Realm."

Andrew did not know that Chairman Beiru had actually launched the second dual-fire war.

What he knew was: "To target the Magic Guild, the Flame Realm is one battlefield, and this Outer Battlefield is another."

His mission in this Outer Battlefield was not just to find the Water Mages here, but to go further and obliterate the forces of the Magic Guild entrenched in this Outer Battlefield!

It was with such determination that Andrew came to this Outer Battlefield.

Yet the result was that apart from mysteriously crashing into a nameless Flame Warrior at the very beginning, he hadn’t even seen a shadow of the Magic Guild!

He came ready to fight, but it felt like punching air!

Andrew was certain that there couldn’t really be no people from the Magic Guild in this Outer Battlefield, but the situation before him was obviously completely different from what he had expected, and in such a situation, he urgently needed to quickly understand the battle intelligence about this Outer Battlefield.

It would be impossible to miss such an opportunity with Pasha proactively asking for help.

Pasha maintained her high speed without looking back, lowered her voice, and said, "It’s like this, if I’m not mistaken, Mr. Wanda Wise, you seem to possess some sort of large-scale perception magic, right?"
