Andrew still had a rough idea of his current strength.
After defeating Raymond and gaining "Water Soul Constitution" and "Water Magic."
Andrew knew that in terms of power, he had definitely taken another big step forward.
At this time, the entire transformation process of "Water Soul Constitution" had already been completed.
It truly felt like a rebirth:
The five senses greatly enhanced.
Overall athletic ability greatly improved!
Simultaneously, there seemed to be some changes that were temporarily indescribable.
But was this enough?
Enough to no longer cling to a stronger leg, but instead suddenly become that stronger leg himself?
"The idea of helping others extinguish the fire is clearly out of the question now."
Andrew thought to himself, "The current issue is whether or not to help others escape from the 'evil fire' of Humboldt."
In the deepest, darkest corner of his heart, there was a vague, despicable thought: this girl, like Raymond, was also of the Fire Element...
Slap! He gave himself a hard slap.
Too lewd, too dark, I must not have such thoughts!
In fact, if he really wanted to harm Barbara, Andrew wouldn't be able to do it no matter what.
It's quite strange, clearly he possessed the "Tear of the Water God" and the "Fire Extinguishing Upgrade Method."
But towards Barbara, this magical girl from the Warm Fire Commerce Association, Andrew felt a bit of closeness instead.
Especially after holding Barbara, this feeling became even clearer.
But it's definitely not because of the suffocating beauty of the girl in his arms!
Am I someone who wavers in principles because of beauty?
For a moment, Andrew's face changed unpredictably.
"Maybe... I should heal Barbara's injuries first!"
Andrew decided to start with something he could control.
Ignoring Barbara's identity as a Fire Mage and treating her just like an ordinary girl, her current injuries were fire wounds caused by Humboldt.
Removing these fire injuries was naturally the same as the treatments he previously did for Ivan and the patients at the Living People Cemetery, also extinguishing the fire.
The difference was that Barbara's injuries were more severe and more troublesome.
At this moment, Barbara was already unconscious.
Andrew no longer restrained himself and began to act willfully...
No, he began to act recklessly...
No, he went all out!
Giving it his all, without reservation, applying "Water Magic" and "Water Spirit Technique" to heal the girl.
The reason for the previous reservation was because Water Magic, after all, had attributes that were vastly different from Fire Magic. Andrew did not want Barbara to detect his Water Attribute.
At this time, using his full strength to heal, Barbara's face immediately looked much better.
The injuries were completely stabilized!
If Barbara were awake, she would probably be completely amazed by Andrew's healing effects, because the effectiveness was simply too good!
Andrew himself was a bit surprised: "I always feel like my Healing Technique works unusually well on Barbara, almost to the point of being against the rules!
How strange, isn't she supposed to be a Fire Mage whose attributes are opposed to mine?"
By fighting against the fire injuries left by Humboldt, Andrew indirectly realized that Humboldt was truly fierce!
The fire injuries the old mage inflicted on Barbara were so severe.
So much so that after fully healing Barbara, Andrew unexpectedly gained a new Magic Skill!
"This..." Andrew was a bit speechless, "So is Humboldt's strength a good thing or a bad thing? Well, if I can take him down, of course, it's a good thing. If not, it's a great disaster. What if he turns the tables on me accidentally..."
Andrew shook his head, continuing to maintain the healing power of "Water Spirit Technique" on Barbara.
Beginning to examine the newly acquired Magic Ability.
Previously, Water Spirit Technique and Water Soul Constitution merged into Water Magic.
Now, Water Magic, in turn, further combined with Water Soul Constitution and Water Spirit Technique, forming a new ability that further enhanced Perception—
Water Spirit Sensing.
"Water Spirit... Sensing?"
Andrew murmured.
This wasn't a new ability unlocked from the "Tear of the Water God."
It was formed by the recombination of existing abilities.
Similar to the transformation from "Water Spirit Technique" to "Seed of the Water Spirit."
Andrew didn't think too much about it, directly closing his eyes.
Starting to try out this newly acquired "Water Spirit Sensing."
At this moment, Perception seemed to turn into invisible tentacles, with Andrew's body as the center and source, exploring and extending in all directions...
Andrew had never experienced anything like this before.
He only felt that the tentacles of his perception quickly covered nearly half of Wildfire Town's range.
In his mind, a "three-dimensional panoramic image" gradually emerged: although still quite blurry, the Magic Laboratory in the center of the town, the burnt residential building next to the laboratory, the Living People Cemetery visited during the day, the temporary camp... all of these, were in full view!
Moreover, this "panoramic image" appeared in a water-blue hue, like seeing the world underwater.
Others simply couldn't imagine the kind of visual impact it had!
And after adjusting to the unique perspective of "Water Spirit Sensing," Andrew finally saw clearly—
The current situation.
He could "see":
One small red dot after another moving within the "panoramic image," standing out conspicuously, even glaringly.
Seeing this scene, Andrew almost cursed out loud:
"How many people did this old guy Humboldt send to chase Barbara? Did all his Magic Apprentices go all out!
I could see that among those red dots, some of them were exuding a reddish hue all over, appearing like flaming hot irons in the perspective of "Water Spirit Sensing."
"Hmm, these should be Humboldt's Flame Warriors, or rather 'Apprentice Flame Warriors' just like Raymond."
Andrew thought to himself.
There was also a small portion of red dots that weren't as arrogant or domineering as the Flame Warriors but instead had a restrained fiery intensity inside that was actually much brighter than those representing the Flame Warriors in the perspective of "Water Spirit Sensing."
"These should be the highest-level Magic Apprentices, the small group of people who are on the brink of earning the 'Fire Mage' title."
Andrew observed carefully.
As for the laboratory at the center of the town where the old mage Humboldt resided, under "Water Spirit Sensing," it appeared in a dark red hue, like a large piece of lava.
Andrew didn't know that just recently, twenty-five Crimson Knights had died in Humboldt's laboratory.
He only felt that the large "lava" of the laboratory was emitting waves of bloodthirsty aura strong enough to make one nauseous!
With that surge of bloodthirsty aura, Andrew nearly threw up right there.
He quickly reopened his eyes, operated "Water Spirit Technique," and suppressed the urge to vomit.
But his face turned somewhat unsightly.
