Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 435 - 415: The Power of the True Name

Both Tiago and the Dragon Mistress were confident: the infiltration of Wildfire Territory was absolutely perfect, impossible to be uncovered.

Yet Wildfire Territory was Andrew’s domain, essentially a part of Andrew’s very life.

The presence of two Earth Fire Professionals within the territory, outside of labor reform institutes, was glaringly obvious to Andrew, like two mosquitoes planning to suck Andrew’s blood right before his eyes, foolishly unaware of their audacity!

Andrew, upon reacquainting himself with the new Wildfire Territory, promptly returned to An Ya’s side.

And after Tiago voluntarily disclosed the Magic Guild’s plan, Andrew decisively made his move.

"An Ya... You... How dare you..." Tiago, looking at An Ya then at the teeth scattered across the ground, suddenly stepped back hastily, retreating rapidly.

In the moment of urgency, he finally demonstrated his powers and judgment as a Saint Son: "This is not An Ya’s power, there’s an ambush, a great master!

This Wildfire Territory actually hides a powerful figure that I couldn’t detect despite my long infiltration? Or have I been exposed all along, and this is really a trap?"

His mind worked quickly, and he retreated quickly as well.

By the average level of Earth Fire Mages, his physical qualities were exaggeratedly good! Were it not so, he wouldn’t be as agile among the flowers.

However, after stepping back two steps, his body went limp as if suddenly boneless.

Once Andrew made a move, it was impossible to leave Tiago alive.

For any lord, "successfully infiltrating a territory" and "attempting to enslave the territory administrator" are major taboos. And Tiago managed to commit both!

So, Tiago died.

Until his death, Tiago would never know who actually killed him.

To understand, if we rewind the time to before the royal court negotiations, Tiago’s strength was still higher than Andrew’s.

But now, the gap between them has grown immeasurable.

Tiago’s life aura rapidly weakened until it vanished.

At the moment of death, his already limp body suddenly sprang up as if resurrected, his hands fiercely grasping towards a seemingly empty space — the very spot where Andrew was invisibly positioned.

"Hmm?"

Andrew could feel warmth still in Tiago’s hands but without a doubt, the man had no sign of life, completely dead.

Suddenly being grabbed by a deceased person, even Andrew, now a powerful figure in the Magic Guide Realm, felt a chill in his heart.

Then came the cold voice of the Dragon Mistress: "Got you!"

She had manipulated Tiago’s corpse, accurately pinpointing Andrew’s location.

In nearly any culture, any world, to so wantonly control someone who just died is an extremely disrespectful act.

Yet the Dragon Mistress felt no psychological burden: "Tiago, a waste who lurked for so long without reporting that Wildfire Territory had such a hidden master, deserved to die!"

She sneered at Andrew’s location, "And you think you can kill someone right under my nose and continue to hide?"

With sudden force, Tiago’s body couldn’t withstand the power and instantly shattered to pieces.

Andrew was forcibly pulled out from his "masked invisibility" state!

"This old witch, such a ruthless heart, such impressive skills."

Andrew let her do as she pleased.

Seemingly being dragged out of hiding rather awkwardly, in reality, Andrew was seriously feeling, probing, analyzing her power.

Compared to when he was in the Water God Realm, Andrew hasn’t had further improvement in his major realm.

Yet upon reacquainting himself with his territory, what Andrew can do now is far more than in the Water God Realm.

After all, the Water God Realm was created by Water God Li, Andrew could resonate with it, but ultimately it wasn’t completely his home turf.

Wildfire Territory is different; it’s his stronghold, his root.

After reacquainting with Wildfire Territory, Andrew naturally possessed a powerful analytic ability against infiltrating outsiders.

Like the thorough digestion of food consumed. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The Dragon Mistress’s power far surpassed Tiago’s by a great deal.

Andrew still, in an instant, nearly completely "saw through" all of her strength, realm, and current power!

The analysis made Andrew’s face turn solemn: "So strong! The Dragon Mistress’s current power is extremely strong!"

In terms of tiers, the Dragon Mistress now stands between Tier Nine and the Magic Guide Realm, confidently at a War God level, much like the former female assassin Catherine.

In actual fighting capability, she’s even stronger than when the female assassin attempted to assassinate Andrew with the Shield of Flowing Fire!

Fearful toxins filled every cell within the Dragon Mistress.

This is the "Greed Dragon Poison," refined by one of the three Earth Fire Scholars, an Earth Fire Mage’s method to borrow the power of Greed Dragon Lidzmat.

Essentially a form of Dragon Transformation Combat Technique for Earth Fire Mages.

Like Dragon Transformation Combat Technique, the Greed Dragon Poison grants an Earth Fire Mage immense power while also causing massive damage and destruction to the individual.

"The Dragon Mistress shouldn’t be called the Dragon Mistress anymore, but rather the Poison Dragon Mistress."

Andrew was secretly alarmed, "Her internal state is thoroughly chaotic, she’s basically a living dead, a walking corpse! Earth Fire Professionals, the more insane they are, the stronger they become, only to eventually lose complete control!"

Large quantities of fire poison lurked within the Poison Dragon Mistress, turning her into a toxic human bomb.

If this were to explode in the heart of Wildfire Territory, the consequences would be unimaginable!

In an instant, Andrew understood: "Must kill her as quickly as possible! Fast enough to not give her a chance to self-destruct, fast enough to prevent the fire poison within her from even having a chance to erupt."

This difficulty is far greater than simply killing her. Even harder than capturing her alive.

If it were Andrew of the Water God Realm, there would be quite a risk. Possible to achieve, but not stable.

Now, Andrew is exceptionally certain: he can achieve it, and steadily so! To succeed a hundred times if done consecutively a hundred times.

This is because: upon reacquainting with Wildfire Territory, Andrew not only rediscovered his territory as a lord.

He also, as a Magic Lord, rediscovered a part of his own body.

Wildfire Territory is the starting point of Andrew’s cultivation path, his foundation.

In layman’s terms, Wildfire Territory can actually be considered Andrew’s "base."

In the world before traveling to the Flame Realm, there’s a saying: "Not training legs will lead to regret eventually."

It refers to the importance of training the lower base.

Back when Andrew left Wildfire Territory and ventured out, it was like training invincible upper body muscles.

Strong, indeed, but always a bit too fast in cultivation, realm was somewhat hollow, unstable.

Returning to Wildfire Territory and reacquainting with it, Andrew rapidly filled his lower base, training his lower limbs.

Not only were his chest muscles, arms, and shoulders perfect like ancient Greek sculptures.

His lower limbs and legs also became well-developed like top-class track and field athletes!

At this moment, Andrew’s body, under the pull of the Poison Dragon Mistress’s power, cut an arc through the air, landing on the room’s floor.

Upon landing, Andrew’s legs seemed to root themselves down, as if becoming the second Water Tower Giant Tree of Wildfire Territory, besides Shire.

Magic Power, Magic, at this moment, ceased to be clearly distinct, rather there seemed to be a trend of both converging together.

The end of this trend, is a "name": Andrew Xifa Lin.

Meaning: Fire Extinguishing Saint Son.

Andrew had previously earned this name in Wildfire Territory after defeating the old mage Humboldt.

But at that time, it was merely a name, not containing any power.

Now, this name finally encapsulates and epitomizes all of Andrew’s cultivation and power until now, truly becoming Andrew’s—

True Name!

And obtaining a True Name in itself signifies power has reached the pinnacle of the Magic Guide Realm, and beyond that, is the mysterious and unfathomable Divine Domain.
