"Let me help free you."

As these thoughts arose in Andrew's mind, streams of deep blue water appeared on his body.

These streams were the external manifestation of the Water Magic within him.

Under the effect of "Invisible Enchantment," Andrew's Magic Power was supposed to be invisible.

Yet now it was clearly visible to the naked eye!

"—Go Invisible."

Andrew murmured softly.

At this moment, Andrew temporarily abandoned the concealing effect of the "Invisible Enchantment" on his Elemental Attribute!

"Huh?" The woman paused momentarily, ceasing her irrational shouting.

She saw Andrew suddenly appear in the dark red realm like a small glowing blue figure emitting a gentle blue light, soft in color yet with an aura ready to tear apart the surrounding dark red!

In this Flame Realm, "Invisible Enchantment" was absolutely necessary; with it, Andrew could freely perform all kinds of Water Magic without worrying about exposing his Elemental Attribute and true identity.

This was not without cost: while the Magic Power became invisible, the outstanding effect of his Water Attribute in counteracting the Flame Attribute would weaken.

Andrew still remembers, as a beginner Magic Apprentice, facing a Tier One Flame Warrior like Raymond, with just a simple Water Needle completely severing the life force within Raymond.

It relied on the 100% effectiveness of "Water Overcomes Fire"! At that time, he hadn't obtained the "Invisible Enchantment."

Later, after obtaining the "Invisible Enchantment," of course, the benefits were substantial, but that outstanding effect of Water Overcomes Fire was quietly reduced greatly.

The reduction was about 40%.

The Invisible Enchantment was not just an enchantment bringing benefits; it was also a form of self-sealing.

Removing invisibility means temporarily undoing self-sealing, bringing back the full effect of Water Overcomes Fire!

"Come, come over here!"

This time Andrew proactively beckoned the woman with his finger, "Try hitting me again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched in the chest by her!

The woman punched hard on Andrew's chest, almost saying, "This is the craziest request I've ever heard."

She immediately turned her head, looking left and right.

Because she had shattered "Andrew" several times before, only to find it was just a puddle of water.

She was searching for Andrew's real body.

However, this time, she couldn't find Andrew's real body to either side.

Andrew did not use "Water Puppet Avatar" this time.

Instead, at the moment of being struck, he deployed the "Deep Blue Armament Series," condensing a Magic Breastplate on his chest.

With this breastplate magic, Andrew this time chose not to dodge, taking the hit head-on from her punch.

Nor was this the end.

After the Magic Breastplate absorbed the attack, it suddenly shattered into pieces.

The fragments climbed up her arm, shoulder, torso, quickly recombining into a Magic Breastplate.

This time, it was fastened onto the woman in front!

Binding her tightly!

If Ivan were still awake to see this, he would be quite shocked: "The 'Deep Blue Armament Series,' specially designed to pair with the Deep Blue Guard, actually has this kind of usage?"

That Magic Breastplate, meant to be armor, was used by Andrew as chains to bind the enemy, as instruments of restraint!

Still, the same thing: Flame Warriors fear control, and even Dragon-transformed Flame Warriors fear control, Dragon-transformed, out-of-control Flame Warriors turned into Desolate Beasts, still fear control!

When the woman realized the Andrew before her was indeed real, she was momentarily stunned.

After being bound by the Magic Armor, she became completely enraged!

"Roar!"

She let out a cry not resembling a human voice, bursting forth with full strength, attempting to forcibly rip apart the Magic Breastplate binding her.

The desire to break free from her restraints is precisely what she, transformed into a Desolate Beast through an uncontrolled Dragon Transformation, has sought from ancient times until now.

"Giant Water Demon Puppet."

Andrew again murmured softly.

The lava ground behind the woman abruptly cracked.

A huge Water Demon Puppet emerged visibly from the underground.

With both giant hands clasped, it thoroughly suppressed the woman who was close to breaking free from the Magic Breastplate!

This was the power Andrew could exert after removing invisibility.

As a Tier Two Water Magic Lord, confronting a Tier Four Dragon-transformed, out-of-control Flame Warrior, Andrew firmly held the upper hand. Gone were the times of being dominated!

"Water... water... you are... water!"

The woman shouted, still refusing to give up, struggling vigorously.

She was an ancient Flame Warrior, trained in "Dragon Transformation Combat Techniques," tailor-made for Flame Warriors by Earth Fire Mages, once gaining unparalleled power, prestige, status, glory, but in a moment losing control, turning into a mindless Desolate Beast, living through the years aimlessly.

She had battled Water Mages in the past.

Back then, this world still had Water Mages.

Exactly because she had battled them, she noticed Andrew's Elemental Attribute earlier.

"But probably you haven't even realized yet."

Andrew stepped forward two steps, looking closely at her, speaking softly, "Since it started, every punch, every kick you've thrown in our fight wasn't aimed at a Water Mage's style but... against Earth Fire Mage combat techniques."

Forget about earlier, even now, when the woman kept shouting "You are water," her actions, her struggling movements, appeared more intent on breaking free from some "Earth Fire Magic" bindings!

This was because the ones who transformed her into a Desolate Beast weren't Water Mages but her companions, the Earth Fire Mages of the Magic Guild!

The pain and anger of betrayal lingered from ancient times till now.

Dragon Transformation Combat Techniques weren't originally created by Flame Warriors but were... products of Earth Fire Mages' research!

Andrew could see a questioning emotion in each of her moves.

The woman seemed to be constantly asking, "Why? Why betray us? Why, as companions, as partners, did you treat us this way?"

Although he didn't know exactly what happened back then, Andrew could roughly surmise a bit.

"...The questions you want answered, one day I will ask them for you."

Andrew looked at her with calm eyes, "For now, let me... help you die completely."

This woman had lived as a Desolate Beast from ancient times till now.

But this doesn't really count as being alive.

She was essentially dead already, leaving only a hideous shell along with some residual instincts. It's no different from a living corpse.

The liberation she sought was actually... to completely die. To die as a human, rather than "live" as a Desolate Beast.

For a fleeting moment, the woman seemed to understand Andrew's words, the excitement showing in her eyes.

But soon this humane emotion was replaced by chaos.

She looked at Andrew, shouting, "Kill… you…!"

The power of a Tier Four Flame Warrior exploded utterly.

She actually tore open the Magic Breastplate, then attempted to overturn the "Giant Water Demon Puppet" suppressing her!

Swish.

Andrew's fingers closed, forming a hand blade, as he swung, bringing forth a light, deep blue stream of water.

Like a Flowing Blade, it gracefully swept past her neck.

The woman had nearly escaped, an arm reaching out to grab Andrew's collar.

But now she stopped abruptly.

She stared at Andrew, and upon her slashed neck, there was no wound.

Yet soon the Desolate Beast's scales covering her began to shatter, falling off piece by piece onto the ground.
