"You worthless fools, how did you do it?!" all of the Desolate’s avatars spoke up.
Previously, he never imagined he would converse with Water Mages possibly only of Tier Three or Tier Four.
In his view, lowering himself to speak with characters like Silver was already the limit of what he could do.
But now, he had no choice.
Because, at the scene, the original plan was for Desolate to scatter his form and capture all the Water Mages at lightning speed.
It was supposed to be a one-sided suppression.
Now, however, it had gradually turned into an evenly matched tug-of-war!
"I... I don’t know." The slow-witted boy who first launched a counterattack said dumbfoundedly.
Soone next to him said, "Hey, don’t answer him. He called us fools. If you answer him, aren’t you admitting you’re a fool?"
Soone else said, "Weird, why doesn’t this black fire hurt on my body anymore?"
A young female Mage finally had a chance to see Desolate up close. However, after just a mont, she suddenly gagged, "You... you’re so ugly! Ugh—!"
Desolate: "..."
He didn’t say a word, yet all eight crab legs and the pair of claws of each crab-shaped avatar couldn’t help but shiver slightly — out of anger!
Held back by so many avatars, and it’s these brats? These pesky brats whose ntal processes don’t even count as warriors?!
Desolate felt an indescribable sense of unreality, almost absurdity.
He shook his crab head vigorously and once again looked at Andrew: "So... it was you! You deliberately didn’t strike personally, instead lending your strength to these fools, letting them attack ? You nasty brat, are you intentionally humiliating ?!"
Yet Andrew said, "No, I have no intention of humiliating you at all."
After a pause, Andrew continued, "In fact, this is my true power. If you don’t believe , take a look yourself."
As he spoke, Andrew continued to activate the "Enlightennt" magic and raised his hand, pointing in a direction.
Desolate followed the direction Andrew pointed to, and his face completely changed.
Andrew was pointing at Silver.
Desolate’s suppression of Silver was the most forceful, far surpassing the degree he targeted other Water Mages he held captive. A large amount of the Fire of Greed furiously surged into Silver’s body.
Silver was indeed tortured severely, as evidence when the other Water Mages, under Andrew’s Enlightennt support, began to wrestle against the avatars holding them, Silver, the strongest among the Water Mages, instead had weak resistance, seeming so feeble that even Enlightennt couldn’t help her.
And this was a significant reason why Desolate wasn’t overly panicked internally. In his view, Silver was already wasted, no longer a threat.
Yet, at this mont, the once "frail" Silver raised her head again: "You were quite enthusiastic about torturing just now."
Desolate exclaid in shock, "You... how?"
Silver showed no signs of weakness but rather was full of vitality!
A magic mask fell off Silver’s cheek, the sa "Deep Blue Mask" that Andrew used once before.
This mask perfectly concealed the fact that the mont Silver received Enlightennt, she was no longer feeble, preventing Desolate’s strongest crab-shaped avatar, close at hand, from detecting any anomaly.
Now that the mask had fallen, revealing Silver’s true state.
Desolate realized, "Silver, you... you’ve already... reached the Realm of Magic Guide?"
Yes, Silver had broken into the Realm of Magic Guide.
The sa Enlightennt provides different insights and growth to different individuals.
Silver was already the strongest among Water Mages, her tier was as high as Tier Nine, infinitely close to War God Level combat power, and her potential far from fully realized.
This allowed her to benefit the most from Andrew’s indiscriminate Enlightennt Magic!
"You... why are you also a Magic Guide...?" Desolate truly felt a bit dumbfounded, only reacting as if waking from a dream after a mont, "Dammit, why did you also beco a Magic Guide?!!"
Even within the sa Realm of Magic Guide, there are differences in combat strength.
Just like within the sa Tier Nine, facing a War God Level against an ordinary Tier Nine, it’s a complete crush.
Desolate was a pinnacle figure in the Realm of Magic Guide—if he hadn’t scattered his form.
When his power was fully consolidated, he wouldn’t even care about soone like Silver, who had just entered the Realm of Magic Guide; he could simply crush her.
But now he’s no longer in a fully consolidated state; he’s in an avatar state!
"Die."
Silver didn’t waste any words and directly answered with a powerful counterattack.
Other Water Mages struggled, engaged in a tug-of-war with the crab-shaped avatars, mostly stalling tactics.
However, Silver, who broke through to the Realm of Magic Guide, directly counterattacked and backstabbed!
Desolate raged, "Are you the one? Such lowly trash, do you deserve to think you can kill ? Do you really think breaking into the Realm of Magic Guide puts you on par with ?"
For safety reasons, when Desolate scattered his form earlier, he allocated the most power to the crab-shaped avatar holding Silver.
This avatar was also of the initial level of the Magic Guide Realm!
Yet, with a "poof," the magic long saber of flowing water in Silver’s hand pierced into the human face on the belly of Desolate’s crab-shaped avatar without any hindrance! It was as easy as a hot knife slicing through cheese.
Desolate was stunned.
He looked at this scene in disbelief, and after a mont, he suddenly looked past Silver, toward Andrew’s direction again.
Only to discover: Andrew, at so point, was no longer in his original position.
Andrew was now behind Desolate!
With Silver at the front and Andrew quietly at the back, Silver was striking at Desolate from the front while Andrew, unnoticed, placed his hand lightly on Desolate’s back from behind.
In Desolate’s mind, when Andrew activated "Enlightennt," he was temporarily unable to personally strike the final blow, the deadly blow.
And that was indeed the case.
"The one responsible for ending it, the one responsible for the deadly strike, was indeed not , but Silver." Andrew thought to himself, "But I can still contribute a little bit while activating Enlightennt."
The hand on Desolate’s crab shell back glowed with a dreamy blue light.
— Water Magic "Softening." This isn’t even a Magic Guide Realm spell; rather, it’s a very ordinary Tier Seven Water Magic. While Andrew unleashed "Enlightennt" with all his might, he had just enough strength left to cast a Tier Seven magic spell.
But that was enough.
The effect of "Softening" instantly reduced Desolate’s physical defense. Though it lasted for only an instant and decreased just a tiny bit, it was enough for Silver’s magic blade to break through the defense and penetrate deeply.
"W-Wait! Wait a mont!" Desolate clearly was still unwilling to accept this fact.
Silver twisted her wrist, wrenching the magic blade embedded in Desolate’s body.
With a bang, Desolate’s crab-shaped avatar burst open like a balloon.
Then, in a series of continuous bangs, all of Desolate’s avatars exploded.
When the last explosion echoed, there were no more crab-shaped Desolate Beasts at the scene, only a tall, naked man standing alone among the Water Mages.
That was Desolate.
Desolate, defeated, stripped of his Desolate Beast form along with his identity as a Fla Warrior, utterly crushed of all power.
