Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

"Zi~"

The wildly dancing lightning was almost within reach, making her delicate face appear even whiter, like a brute who knew nothing of tenderness and wanted to crush this beautiful porcelain.

Now you can't escape, can you?

Rice thought to herself that with the two of them attacking from the side, the shield magic tool's defense couldn't be fully protected, and the height difference would render Bai Mei unable to fight.

But just as the thunderbolt was about to strike Bai Mei's delicate body, suddenly, a flowing, dark blue light entered his field of vision, or rather, climbed onto Bai Mei's delicate body!
That wisp of deep blue, starting from a single point, quickly covered the entire body, seemingly slowly and leisurely, yet it completely protected Bai Mei just as the thunderbolt struck.

It is not an isolated stream of water, but rather it continuously draws water elements from the air and gathers them into a deep blue water barrier.

Yes, it's water.

No one was unfamiliar with basic water magic; everyone present recognized the spell.

However, not everyone could react to the caster of this spell, and the current situation didn't give everyone time to think it through.

"呲-"

"."

The wildly dancing lightning bolts were the first to come into contact with the azure water shield, but the expected scene did not occur. After the lightning bolts surged into the water shield's membrane, they disappeared without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea. They only added a few pale purple spots to the surface of the water shield, which disappeared after a short while.

what's the situation!
Where is Pili?
"Why didn't it pass through!"

Among the Greek defenders, someone stood up and exclaimed in surprise, pointing intently at the battle unfolding on the field.

"That's impossible! Rais's lightning seed is at the spirit level. How could such a mid-level spell be so easily neutralized by a single water defense?"

Discussions arose one after another, with some questioning, some marveling, and others beginning to search for the owner of this water-powered vessel.

They found it very quickly.

There are four people from China on the field. Qin Mo is mainly plant and earth type, Bai Mei is a fire type mage and it is impossible for her to have cultivated water type to this extent. The other person is a mind mage and can also be basically ruled out.

All that was left was the Chinese man who had been watching the show almost the entire time.

They remembered that this man seemed to be the captain of the Chinese team.

At this moment, the water vapor surrounding the opponent confirmed everyone's guess: this amazing water defense was indeed his doing.

Could this water... also be a seed of soul?
And this man seems to be called Nan Yi.

"Nanyi."

Some people murmured in thought, feeling that they had heard the name somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

Hmm. Where did I hear that before?

As he reflected on the situation, the tide had turned.

Not only was Rice's attack blocked, but Andrew's vines were also bound by the water.

Faced with the increasingly powerful stagnation of heavy water, the lashes of ordinary vines were like those of an old man on his deathbed, posing no threat whatsoever. This was an ability that even the King of Giant Wolves had to suffer from.

Meanwhile, this wasn't the first time the Chinese had experienced Nan Yi's Water Control Technique. They understood its incredible power better than anyone else and charged straight in.

The situation is different now.

Bai Mei completely ignored Rice's magic, relying on her water defense to withstand it and unleashing her own magic.

Bai Mei relied on water to withstand the attack, while Rice was bathed in the triple enhancement of healing spirits, star rune protection, and whispering sounds. The two were like the most primal beasts, engaging in the purest and simplest battle.

For a moment, everyone, both on and off the field, was completely drawn to the battle in the center. Qin Mo and Andrew both stopped fighting and handed the battlefield over to the two of them.

Hashir's eyes lit up.

The violent aesthetics brought about by this fighting style are pure and irresistible. As a battle-hardened knight, Hashir is equally passionate about fighting.

This was a rare instance of a mage of the same level directly fighting someone blessed by the Parthenon Maidens. Unlike the other students who were merely watching the spectacle, Hashir could tell that they were the ones who had the advantage in this clash.

Nan Yi's Water Defense is clearly not just limited to blocking magical attacks; the sluggishness it just displayed was enough to end the battle.

However, the opponent did not do that, only maintaining a basic defense, or even a complete defense. Nan Yi precisely controlled the intensity of the water defense, which reduced Rice's attack to a certain extent, and Bai Mei had to withstand the rest herself.

The offensive part was entirely left to Bai Mei.

As a semi-instructor, Hashir looks more like a training instructor than a combat instructor, except that the instructor is Nan Yi, who controls the rhythm of the battle, and the person being instructed is Bai Mei, who uses Parthenon's maid as a sparring partner.

The level of control required was astonishing even to Hashir; perhaps only Bai Mei and Hashir, both on and off the field, could truly grasp it.

On the other hand, although Xiu Lu is a trainee maid and even His Highness's personal attendant, Bai Mei's offensive intensity has almost reached her limit. If Bai Mei has any backup plans, the balance will inevitably be broken.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Healing, blessing, and mind are not magic types that excel at defense. The power of the Star Rune is merely a shortcut secret technique of Parthenon, allowing the maid to use the Star Rune that is only available to the super-ranked beforehand. This is how healing and the Star Rune are used to maintain defense.

In other words, the fact that Xiu Lu could fight Bai Mei to such an extent already shows that she is highly skilled.

It's important to know that Bai Mei is ahead of the entire realm of Great Soul Seeds. However, if the current balance continues, Rice should be the one to win.

Water Defense is ultimately just Water Defense. As long as Nan Yi doesn't make a move, it can only defend. Bai Mei needs magic energy to maintain the balance of offense, but Xiu Lu can replenish the magic energy and spirit that Rice is depleting.

However, for some reason, Hashir's intuition told him that the stunningly beautiful Eastern girl would be the one to win in the end.

The battle continues.

Flames scattered and lightning arced.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the floor cracked.

Both sides abandoned high-level magic and instead chose to unleash mid-level and low-level magic with shorter durations, resulting in a high-frequency battle rhythm that gave them no chance to breathe.

As Hashir predicted, Bai Mei's aura had weakened slightly, while Rice remained stable. The effects of the blessing system were evident, and the balance had tipped.

The Greeks looked delighted. At this point, they realized that Rice was bound to win.

Even Rice himself thought so, and Xiu Lu had even begun to issue new orders.

"Resolve this as soon as possible; Nan Yi is next."

Nanyi?

Rice nodded. This person's water element cultivation must be very strong. If he hadn't deliberately refrained from making a move, the situation might be completely different now. But this person is so arrogant. Isn't he afraid of crashing and burning?

Rice was indeed unaware of Nan Yi's strength, but he was well aware of Xiu Lu's power.

He refused to believe he couldn't win!
Immediately, an even more surging power flowed into her body—the power of Xiu Lu's blessing. This made Rice's attack even more intense, and Bai Mei couldn't keep up for a moment.

opportunity!

Just as Rice was preparing to press his advantage, he discovered that the opponent's offensive pace had suddenly doubled!
That's right, it doubled!
What should have been a single fiery attack turned into two. Fortunately, this could be attributed to Bai Mei's desperate outburst. However, what followed left everyone present stunned.

Bai Mei traced the star map, and two fierce punches flew out in succession. Looking back, there was still only one star map, and Bai Mei did not make any move to connect the eighth star track.

One star map, two spells!

Now everyone realized what was happening.

It's an innate talent!
It's double casting!
Bai Mei's sudden and explosive offensive completely disrupted the balance, and the scales of the battle indeed tipped.

only……

The goddess of victory favored Bai Mei.
