CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 48: BGM! THE BATTLE ANTHEM BEGINS!

After confirming the Lifebound Series to be the "Fingertip Series," Andrew had a clearer grasp of the direction of each "Fire Extinguishing Value."

He felt that a part of the "Fire Extinguishing Value" entered his "Tear of the Water God," silently storing energy for unlocking new magic after passing the title assessment. However, it would not cause any qualitative change until he passed the assessment.

Thus, another part of the "Fire Extinguishing Value" naturally followed the peculiar "sense of connection" between him and the old man with the shovel and merged into the old man’s body!

"Wow! It turns out it can work like this!"

Andrew was filled with delightful surprise.

"Wow!"

The old man with the shovel also shouted, but not because he felt the Fire Extinguishing Value entering his body.

It was just because he was pinned down and had thought he was going to die, when suddenly he saw his opponent’s head explode from an invisible force!

The old man was splattered with blood and brain matter, stunned for a moment, and then got up as though nothing had happened, yelling and searching for the next opponent.

"Haha, the old blade is still sharp! I’m awesome!"

The old man felt his physical ability was infinite.

In fact, the Fire Extinguishing Value that entered his body played some role in replenishing his stamina.

Moreover, Andrew had a feeling: the part of the "Fire Extinguishing Value" he shared with the old man was surely doing more than just restoring physical strength, subtly playing some more important roles...

"In short, it’s definitely a good thing!"

Andrew quickly headed to other parts of the battlefield to extinguish the flames of war.

"Water Spirit Sensing" covered this battlefield.

Basically, as soon as any of his allies were in trouble, Andrew would immediately step in to help.

Conversely, whenever the opponents were surrounded by several of his allies, even if there was only a fleeting opportunity, Andrew’s deadly attack would surely arrive!

"So is the advantage of Water Magic its invincibility in team battles?"

Andrew felt incredibly valorous, "One-on-one, I might not be this fierce; instead, the more people there are, the larger the area I can cover and utilize!"

What he did not know was that it was not Water Magic that excelled in team battles.

Both the Water Element and the Fire Element have magic series focused on team battles, as well as series focused on duels.

What truly excelled in team battles was the "Fingertip Series"!

And increasingly certain was the fact: taking out Hubert’s magic thugs, the Fire Extinguishing Value earned, there was a part for himself, and his camp’s residents and Living People Cemetery occupants also had a part!

This sharing mode was established precisely because of that peculiar "sense of connection"!

As a result, Andrew’s side grew stronger with each battle, while Hubert’s apprentices suffered increasing casualties.

This was why, when Hubert came to his senses, he initially thought the outcome was decided, only to be shocked to find the battle situation was entirely different from what he anticipated!

"Bastards... bastards! You useless lot, constantly scheming against each other, each thinking you’re so capable, and now you can’t even defeat these mere commoners? I’m furious, furious, furious!" Hubert was enraged and cursed for the first time.

Earlier when he attempted to persuade surrender, he was careful about maintaining decorum and elegance.

But now, he couldn’t care less, he was on the verge of madness!

The critical thing was that the Magic Apprentices couldn’t see the invisible Water Needles, and mistakenly thought they were completely defeated by the "commoners" in their eyes, leading to even lower morale, reaching the point of self-doubt: "Ugh, why can’t we defeat these commoners?"

Hubert saw this scene and felt incredibly frustrated.

On the other side, Andrew’s group grew more confident with each fight: "Aha, we’re really that powerful, aren’t we?"

Their confidence was overflowing, further fueling Hubert’s rage, making him almost unable to resist stepping in himself.

"Stay calm, stay calm!" Hubert took a deep breath and regained his composure, "I’ve already used the ’Fire Snake Trap’ once to deal with the Warm Fire Commerce Association’s Crimson Knights today. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s best not to intervene personally again. Hmm, what is that?"

Just as Hubert calmed down, his eyes suddenly fixed on something.

He saw in the opposite camp, the old man Delin, who looked even older than him, shakily bringing out a nearly colorless magic guide radio from the tent.

As old Delin, with trembling fingers, firmly pressed the switch—

Clang clang! A famous musical dance track from the Flame Realm played on site, the song was "Nana Luwa," lively and dynamic, with a touch of passionate fervor!

Delin’s beard fluttered, and despite his gap-toothed mouth, he shouted, "Take down these bastard sons! Go brothers!"

On Hubert’s side, his face became pale and twitching, his eyelids fluttered madly.

With veins bulging on his dry arms, Hubert snapped his cane with a crack: "Damn you, Delin! @##%￥#...!!!"

What Hubert did not know was that his anger and frustration as a Flame Mage actually manifested a part of "Fire Extinguishing Value!"

A portion entered Andrew’s body.

The majority, however, entered Delin’s body, giving the old man the instant sensation of enlightenment and rejuvenation!

"Haha, didn’t expect there’d be a BGM!"

Listening to this intriguingly styled Otherworld "war song," Andrew was also thrilled.

"Speaking of this magical ’sense of connection,’ what Water Magic is it?"

Andrew was delightfully curious, "Not only can it enhance myself, but it can also strengthen my companions and supporters!"

Now it was completely clear: that invisible bond between himself and everyone really allowed his Fire Extinguishing Upgrade Method to work on others too!

While empowering himself, he was leading the others to grow stronger together.

Just unsure what would happen when everyone grew stronger? Would they become Water Mages like him?

Though instinctively feeling this possibility was low, if it happened, Andrew would wholeheartedly welcome it!

Previously, even with the "Tear of the Water God" in hand, Andrew inevitably felt powerless facing the entire world alone.

If he could lead more and more people to extinguish fires with him, grow stronger with him—

That would be a completely different story altogether!

"Well, everyone’s gotten stronger, so... I too need to push myself and strive harder!"

In the melee, Andrew’s gaze once again locked onto Hubert!

Before, his side only had himself, while the opposing side was numerous. Andrew had prepared his Big Kill Move but struggled to find a way to approach Hubert, thus engaging in conversations to stall time and seek opportunities.

After all, directly attacking Hubert brought the unsettling feeling of "being unable to aim and hit."

If the Big Kill Move failed to take down Hubert upon release, it would be disastrous.

Now things were different.

The battle had reached a point where his side had become the more numerous and powerful!

The situation on the battlefield was gradually becoming clear—obviously from Hubert’s perspective, it was clarified in the opposite way—taking advantage of the current advantage, utilizing the opportunities created by allies to approach Hubert, unleashing all his power, taking down Hubert, ending the battle, and completely completing his title assessment!

Thinking this in his mind, while receiving another portion of Fire Extinguishing Value into the Tear of the Water God, Andrew stepped forward!

This time, his toes were aimed directly in Hubert’s direction!
