Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 437 - 417: Forced to a Halt

Whoosh! High in the sky, the air shrieked as if disaster was imminent, wanting to flee in all directions, but it was too late to escape, and was mercilessly collided with by a colossal object, then torn to shreds.

The Dragon Stone Tower and the Scholar’s Fortress formed a single entity, flying... no, it should be said, directly rushing toward the direction of the Wildfire Territory.

The huge size, combined with the extremely fast speed, generated fierce friction that directly ignited the sky along the way.

From a distance, it looked exactly like a massive meteor wrapped in flames!

"Is this... an Illusion Technique? Some sort of magical illusion effect?" In the room, Andrew instinctively didn’t believe the scene before him was real, because it was simply too outrageous.

After concentrating for a while, he finally confirmed: it wasn’t an illusion, but real! Although he didn’t know why this was happening, it was definitely not an illusion or hallucination.

Without a word, Andrew stepped out, disappearing from An Ya’s office.

The next moment, he quietly appeared above the Wildfire Territory.

Naturally, he stood between the Wildfire Territory and the rapidly approaching tower and fortress.

"Who goes there?!" A stern voice rang out.

Four rays of red fire light shot up from the east, west, south, and north corners of the Wildfire Territory simultaneously.

These were four High Tier Crimson Knights, all at Tier Eight, capable of flying through the air, personally sent by Chairman Beiru to help guard the Wildfire Territory.

They, of course, also detected the tower and fortress rapidly approaching from the sky.

But they mistakenly assumed the suddenly appearing Andrew was the culprit behind the phenomena in the sky.

"Calm down! He’s one of us." An Ya’s voice came through. With the help of the Fire God Mecha, she quickly flew into the sky as well.

"Lady An Ya?" The two men and two women, together four Crimson Knights, saw An Ya and slightly bowed in greeting.

However, their eyes still locked onto Andrew.

An Ya said steadily, "Let me introduce, these four are friends from the Commerce Association whom Chairman Beiru personally sent to help me. This is my Lord, Andrew."

—She finally believed in Andrew’s identity.

Because just now, before Andrew left the room, he directly shared many of his experiences and memories from negotiating at the Royal Court with An Ya.

This was far more effective and efficient than any verbal explanation.

An Ya thus finally believed: This super strong master in front of her was indeed her own Lord, Andrew!

However, she didn’t even have time to be happy.

In just the few breaths while they were talking, the tower and fortress, initially at the horizon, enlarged greatly in their vision.

Too fast, really too fast!

So fast that An Ya simply had no time to be pleased about Andrew’s return.

So fast that Andrew had no time to clear up what on earth this situation was!

"In that case, let’s stop it first!" Andrew thought to himself, "No matter what, intercept it first! Stop it first, then talk about anything else!"

Turning his head quickly, he said to An Ya and the four Crimson Knights: "Don’t worry, just stabilize the Territory’s folks, leave the rest to me."

The four Crimson Knights, upon hearing that the person in front was the supposedly ’missing Andrew’, were still a bit stunned, failing to react.

But An Ya urgently said, "My Lord, wait a moment—"

However, Andrew lightly stepped, and on each of his feet appeared a Water-Traveling Boot with six wings, he actively moved toward the rapidly approaching tower and fortress.

With a turn of his hand, the Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge flew out, then swelled rapidly with the wind.

Andrew then leapt onto the bridge, as if treating the bridge as a massive surfboard, rushing toward the terrifying flame and wind-pressured tower and fortress in front of him as if they were a gigantic fiery wave—

Rumble!!!

At this moment, everyone in the Wildfire Territory, even everyone in the entire Inner Sea Desert, the entire Flame Realm, heard an earth-shattering explosive sound.

For a moment, the skies dimmed, sand flew, and rocks rolled.

An Ya and the four Crimson Knights couldn’t withstand the violent shockwave from the collision, blown away like leaves in a storm, beyond control.

They had no choice but to make an effort to descend back to the Wildfire Territory to avoid staying high up, getting caught, or even torn apart by the aftermath of the collision.

"My Lord!!" During the descent, An Ya’s gaze was still fixed intensely on the center of the collision.

The four Crimson Knights escorting her couldn’t help but look back, thinking, "How could that person be Andrew?"

After the business cooperation, Andrew’s reputation in the Warm Fire Commerce Association had grown significantly, with those who had tried his products praising them enthusiastically.

After the negotiations at the Royal Court, Andrew’s reputation within the Commerce Association was even greater.

Knowing about his great contributions in the negotiations, many people who were previously displeased due to his relationship with Barbara, not wanting the Third Miss of the Commerce Association to be with an outsider, also felt: if he could return, it would be great for him to be with the Third Miss.

But, in the eyes of the world, Andrew was still just a top expert among the younger generation, with a long way to go compared to true powerhouses.

And the level of collision in front of them, was something that would only occur if Chairman Beiru personally confronted the three major Earth Fire Scholars, right?

And it had to be that Chairman Beiru who once possessed the Warm Fire Order!

The four Crimson Knights completely refused to believe that Andrew was Andrew.

The four escorted An Ya back to the ground, quickly looking up again, straining their Eye Power to see the result of that terrifying collision.

They saw, after the collision, a figure quickly flying backward, faster than when it rushed up, like a cannonball—it was Andrew!

Amid cracking sounds, the bridge under Andrew’s feet appeared with several shocking cracks. Andrew himself spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the bridge beneath him red.

"What terrifying power! Is this the strength of the three Earth Fire Scholars inside the fortress, instead of through ’descent’?"

Andrew wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes instead showing a hint of excitement. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

At the moment of the collision, Andrew confirmed many things: all three Earth Fire Scholars were here, inside the Dragon Stone Tower!

All the elite members of the Magic Guild were here too, distributed throughout the interior of the Scholar’s Fortress connected to the Dragon Stone Tower.

Although it’s still unclear what exactly the opposing side was up to, it was certain: for some reason, the Magic Guild chose to abandon their original frontline, opting to come en masse directly toward the Wildfire Territory.

Such momentum, critical with such massive scale, accelerating all the way, finally rushing over with such terrifying high speed, potentially the Wildfire Territory might have been destroyed in an instant.

The result, however, was that Andrew and the Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge forced them to a halt!

After the collision, Andrew felt awful, as another mouthful of blood surged to his throat, almost unable to resist spitting out.

However, while Andrew felt terrible, the people in the Magic Guild inside the fortress would only feel worse!

From the perspective of the Magic Guild people, it was like piloting a massive airship with the three Earth Fire Scholars, and the ship suddenly hit an emergency stop.

Instantly going from extremely fast to still, the Scholar’s Fortress turned chaotic, countless injured and some even dying on the spot!

Amid the chaos, a cold voice resounded, instantly spreading throughout the entire interior of the Scholar’s Fortress: "Alright, now you can land."

That was Gus’s voice.

Listening to the voice, he seemed completely unconcerned about the casualties of the Earth Fire Mages and Flame Warriors inside the fortress, coldly ordering: "Land it now."
