Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 375 - 363: Sorry, I Actually... Never Planned to Break Through!

Chapter 375: Chapter 363: Sorry, I Actually... Never Planned to Break Through!

"Who exactly are you?" The female Warrior Chief’s voice echoed throughout the place. This was also the question everyone present had, except for Pasha.

Andrew did not answer, silently putting away the whale eye Pasha gave him.

But afterwards, Andrew did not abandon her as Pasha suggested, choosing to break through with the whale eye on his own.

Instead, he slightly turned his body, facing the female Warrior Chief, and the encircling formation led by her.

One hand protected Pasha, while the other held the heavy sword, with the sword’s tip slanting towards the water.

From start to finish, Andrew never replied to the other’s question.

"Heh, not willing to answer, are you?"

The female Warrior Chief was not angry, saying indifferently, "No matter who you are, we will find out. That girl gave you the whale eye, right? But don’t think about breaking through, it’s impossible. Not to mention you’re protecting her now, there’s absolutely not even the slightest chance of breaking through. Even if you disregard her and try to break through on your own, it’s impossible."

The female Warrior Chief was confident, and indeed had the reason to be so.

After Andrew absorbed the Blood of the Fire God, completely stabilizing Tier Six, and coagulating his heavy sword, as long as he was in this Water God Realm, Andrew was invincible below Tier Nine. Through the previous rounds of encounters and battles, Andrew had basically confirmed this point.

Even when facing Tier Nine masters, as long as it’s not like the female assassin from before, who was at War God Level like Catherine, he could at least escape even if he couldn’t win.

And in the entire Water God Realm, how many Tier Nine and beyond Flame Warriors truly exist?

Including the female Warrior Chief, there were, at most, only three.

The Magic Guild indeed invested a large number of the elite true Flame Warriors into this Water God Realm, leaving only the peculiar Flame Turtle, a different kind of Flame Warrior, in the Flame Realm to complement the Dragon Taming Lady’s ultimate offensive style, willingly sacrificing attack capabilities in favor of defense.

But, Tier Nine isn’t as common as cabbage; if the Water God Realm had that many Tier Nine Flame Warriors, they wouldn’t need to incite a rebellion among several key Water Mages to overrun those tribes and drive the Water Mages to their doom.

Overall, after coagulating the heavy sword, Andrew stood as one of the top experts at the peak of the pyramid in the Water God Realm.

Yet, the female Warrior Chief still had complete confidence and assurance that she could capture Andrew alive and seize the whale eye.

This was because—

During the two rounds of probing by her orders, the remaining bulk of the Flame Warriors weren’t idle.

The Flame Warriors were not merely spectators; they were subtly adjusting their positions, seemingly constructing some special battle formation.

At this time, the number of people in the encirclement didn’t increase.

But the connotation of the encirclement had completely changed!

Put simply, the Flame Warriors were just there to watch the excitement earlier because it was a summons from the Saint Son; they had to show respect and couldn’t not come. But even when they came, they felt no necessity to join the battle, just to see the fun.

Now, the encirclement formed by the Flame Warriors was a true encirclement.

Within each small team of Flame Warriors, a basic battle formation was formed based on twelve individuals. Then, between the teams, a more advanced battle formation was established. As such, it was layered so that the moment all the Flame Warriors linked, forming a whole and massive battle formation—

Boom! Furious heat burst into the sky.

Andrew clearly felt: surrounding him were not just a Tier Nine female Warrior Chief and a bunch of individual Flame Warriors below Tier Nine, but a Tier Nine female Warrior Chief and a War God Level expert!

"The Theban Battle Array—if you want to know the name of this formation that much."

The female Warrior Chief smiled, then couldn’t help but sigh, "You should feel honored; when we defeated the various tribes earlier, we used this battle formation.

Now, we’re treating you as an entire Water Mage tribe! Moreover, the number of people surrounding you, this ’human-shaped tribe’, exceeds the number used to construct the Theban Battle Array for the largest tribe previously!

With her words, the battlefield aura changed again, shifting from the overall feel of a "War God level expert" to the aura of "several Tier Nine experts surrounding."

It seemed they intended to first use Tier Nine power to wear down Andrew’s strength, then "integrate" into a War God Level master to deliver a fatal attack to Andrew!

"Go, don’t dawdle, quickly go!" Pasha urged anxiously, "Don’t worry about me; you alone should still have a chance to break through, right? Is there?"

Earlier, she took the initiative to grab Andrew’s hand and placed the whale eye in it.

But Andrew remained straight-laced.

At this moment, Pasha’s entire body language conveyed resistance.

In contrast, Andrew held her shoulder tightly!

Pasha was thoroughly annoyed: "What’s wrong with you? I already said for you to leave me and quickly break through on your own! Can’t you distinguish between important and urgent matters? Is the whale eye more important or am I more important? You... you wouldn’t..."

Pasha suddenly thought of a possibility: "You wouldn’t have... fallen for me, would you?!"

"... Can you be quiet?" Andrew finally spoke, his voice full of speechlessness and irritation, "I like you, in your dreams! I have a girlfriend already, okay! Besides, stop talking about leaving you to break through; if I really judged that was necessary, I’d have already kicked you into the crowd to draw fire away."

Pasha: "??" She was stunned for a moment, as if thinking: "Is that something a person would say?"

A moment later, she suddenly tapped Andrew’s chest with a small fist: "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly toss me out—hmm hmm!"

Andrew was finally completely helpless, directly using a Water Ball Technique to block Pasha’s mouth.

The notion of throwing Pasha out to attract fire and create an opportunity for his own breakthrough was obviously just talk, not reality.

Andrew knew very well: "If I try to break through with Pasha, it will indeed be difficult, much harder than breaking through on my own with the whale eye; the difficulty level is much higher, like running a 100-meter race carrying someone compared to running alone. They can’t be the same, definitely not."

So Andrew understood Pasha’s thoughts.

For Pasha to have such determination and courage, he genuinely admired and respected her.

The problem is...

"Who says I want to break through?" Andrew thought to himself, "Pasha, as well as that female Warrior Chief who looks like a rough man, why do they instinctively assume I’m going to break through? I don’t recall ever saying I was going to run!"

This doesn’t mean Andrew believed he could solo and fight all the Flame Warriors in front of him and win that "Theban Battle Array" with one sword.

After coagulating his heavy sword, Andrew indeed achieved a peak level of personal strength to date, but it certainly wasn’t enough for him to feel invincible.

"Hmm hmm hmm!" Pasha was still struggling in his arms.

Andrew didn’t pay attention to her.

In fact, while Pasha had been urging him to leave her, and the female Warrior Chief had been boasting, Andrew had been in silent communication with someone: "Are you all in place already? Don’t rush, hold your horses, wait for my signal! We’re almost there, almost ready to take action!"
