Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 390 - 378: On the Profession of "Water Mage

The same time, outside world.

Under the blazing sun, on the sea, the chase between the Great Wilderness War Chariot and the Black Whale Headquarters was gradually reaching a fever pitch.

The two sides in the chase had yet to contact or collide, but the strategies and engagements between them were no less intense than the fiercest wars.

The Black Whale was incredibly fast because every Water Mage inside contributed their power to accelerate it. Not only that, but the entire Water God Realm seemed to be subtly aiding the Black Whale to swim faster, faster still!

In comparison, the wilderness behind appeared utterly solitary.

Yet, despite being alone, the wilderness was relentlessly closing the gap between itself and the Black Whale Headquarters ahead, braving the obvious repelling force of the Water God Realm.

This was because it seemed that he was just a lone figure, but the Great Wilderness War Chariot beneath him was forged from the bones and souls of past wilderness warriors and the Flame Warriors who fought in this Water God Realm.

So, in essence, he wasn’t truly fighting alone!

"At this point, and still running?"

Only the sound of the wilderness’s voice, through some sort of Desolate Language Magic-like amplification effect that came with the Great Wilderness War Chariot, echoed throughout the entire Water God Realm, seeming to condense into a tangible sonic force, entangling and pulling the Black Whale Headquarters, "You’ve been running for so many years, and in the end, still unwilling to turn around and face me directly?"

The wilderness’s voice and tone were unhurried, even exuding a leisurely flavor. Hearing this voice, one couldn’t help but slow their steps and tempo.

However, contrary to his tone, as he spoke, the Great Wilderness War Chariot suddenly accelerated sharply, its gigantic crab claws heading straight for the tail of the Black Whale Headquarters.

Seeing that the Black Whale Headquarters was about to be caught by those crab claws, the massive body of the Black Whale suddenly twisted and changed direction.

Amidst the surging waves, the Black Whale, like a gazelle on the vast prairie that couldn’t outrun a cheetah in a straight line, turned around a bend to escape the cheetah’s deadly pursuit, narrowly dodging the almost certain crab claw attack.

At the same time, a cheerful feminine voice resounded from within the Black Whale: "Escape? Of course, I’d escape if I can’t beat you. What, should I turn back and give you my head instead? What’s with your thoughtless talk? But you, what’s with you chasing behind, eating dust for so many years, what were you thinking?"

Compared to the wilderness’s calm and patient voice, this woman’s voice was its complete opposite, with just the sound, one could feel the speaker’s exuberance and dynamism.

The speaker was sitting right on top of the Black Whale.

She was a woman with radiant energy and silver-white hair.

Her name was Silver, and before Mela’s betrayal, she was the third most important figure among the Water Mage high-level personnel.

Now, with Mela’s betrayal, she naturally became the second-in-command, only under Madam Li.

Most importantly, she was a "Driver."

Granted the "qualification to drive the Black Whale" by Madam Li.

Simply put, although the Black Whale Headquarters was Madam Li’s physical body, to prolong her life, Madam Li’s soul will was mostly in a slumbering state, only waking during emergencies, and would need to reunite with the "Whale Eye" to fully awaken and restore power.

And during the slumber of Madam Li’s will, Silver assumed the responsibility of driving the Black Whale Headquarters. Like a substitute captain, she controlled the Black Whale’s body and coordinated the crew inside the whale—namely, the Water Mages’ power.

"Silver, isn’t it? You Water Mages, the older you get, the more silver your hair becomes. You’re so old, yet your mouth is sharper than my father once mentioned?"

The wilderness smiled slightly, not frustrated or discouraged by the dodged surprise attack, continuing the pursuit with the Great Wilderness War Chariot, while asking with a serious face, "Where’s Li? According to logic, only when Li’s will is asleep would a driver like Silver take over the driving of the Black Whale Headquarters, right?"

Saying this, a sharp gleam flashed in the wilderness’s eyes, coldly stating, "Li should have awoken and entered battle mode, rather than being in a slumbering state. If so, why is it you who’s driving now?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Silver laughed heartily: "Isn’t that obvious? To deal with a young lad like you, does Madam Li have to personally step in? Don’t talk about you, did your father, your father’s father...any of the wilderness generations able to handle Madam Li? Your father did mention my sharp tongue? Haha, he wasn’t wrong! Come on, call me Auntie!"

Although Silver appeared youthful and lively, she was indeed very old.

But her personality was that way, always playful and unserious, even as she began to strain under the wilderness’s pursuit, her mouth refused to concede.

Yet, despite her bravado, her inner anxiety reached its peak: "Still not ready? Madam Li and that brat called Andrew still haven’t finished their talk?! Damn, this generation’s wild kid is ridiculously strong, much stronger than his old man. If Madam Li doesn’t come out soon, I can’t hold on here!"

Not only Silver, but at the same time inside the Black Whale Headquarters, countless Water Mages’ wills were also shouting, "We can’t hold on much longer!"

What Andrew didn’t know was that last night, when he was stunned by Madam Li, during his unconscious time, Madam Li summoned the high-level Water Mages and held a meeting.

The initially stabilized Pasha, supported by her sister Natalie, also participated in the meeting, detailing everything she knew about Andrew, from the memories shared by Andrew, including his identity, origin, and the mission of his journey to the Water God Realm.
