Full-time Mage: Heavy Water Returns to the World

……

"Roar!!!"

A roar echoed throughout the sacred mountain, making people's eardrums ache.

Suddenly, the Star River Mountain Path, which had been brightly illuminated by the barrier's dazzling light, was shrouded in a shadow, and everyone who looked on was horrified.

It was a giant halfway up the mountain, its body shimmering with silver armor, standing atop the mountain path at some unknown time, with a curtain of surging water above it.

What a magnificent sight the whole scene was!

"Titans! It's the Titan race!"

"How could a Titan appear here? Is this a premeditated night attack on Parthenon?!"

Not everyone knows that the fourth level is the Titan; only the higher-ups of Parthenon have known this secret all along.

For a time, many maids and even knights were on high alert, but there were many people on the sacred mountain who knew the truth.

"It's Haobu! How come he's awake now? Bora hasn't failed yet!" the sage exclaimed, her eyes filled with surprise.

Saintess Andre was also puzzled; clearly, Titan Hob's premature awakening had exceeded her expectations.

Titan Hob was an orphan of Titans adopted by the seventh generation of goddesses when they destroyed the Titans. He was relatively stable in character and always guarded Mount Parthenon.

But it shouldn't have appeared so early.

"The rules of the Star River Mountain Path never seem to require climbers to pass through each stage one by one," the Palace Master of the Purple Gold Palace said bluntly from behind Saintess Ander.

"However, no one has ever run into two guardians at the same time."

In the past, including the Parthenon Knights who had tried to conquer Mount Sacred, they had to overcome each obstacle one by one. Some failed at the second obstacle, while others could not cross Bora.

Very few people actually made it to the fourth level; those were things from a long time ago.

It is unprecedented for Nan Yi to trigger the fourth level guardian ahead of schedule by such a coincidence.

Ander reacted quickly; the next second, a reassuring voice echoed across the sacred mountain, informing everyone of Haobu's identity.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was puzzling, at least it wasn't a Titan siege.

Immediately, everyone realized that this meant Nan Yi was now facing pressure from both the vampire Bora and Titan Hob.

Bora and Haobu may not have a harmonious relationship, but they are naturally on the same side when facing Nan Yi who is breaking through the mountains, especially now that Hua Mu is in charge.

It seems that Nan Yi, who was inside the barrier, sensed Hao Bu's awakening earlier than everyone else.

Right now, the magnificent curtain of light has fallen, and the deep blue that is enough to obscure the night moon seems like a veil barely covering the Titan's massive body.

Haobu showed no sign of panic. Although it had just awakened, it could still sense the battle commotion within the mountain path. However, due to the suppression of the restrictions, it had been unable to make a move.

It wasn't until Xiao Ning's unexpected arrival that the unique contract aura belonging to Nan Yi on her body was released from the divine mountain's restrictions, allowing her to break free of her constraints.

Inside the Star River Mountain Path, Nan Yi looked at the silver armor light emanating from the Titan in the distance and instantly determined the Titan's lineage.

This is not the lowest-ranking Blue Star Titan, but the more noble Silver Moon Titan.

O Silvermoon Titan!
That's a terrifying being that, once it appears in human territory, is enough to trigger a bloody alert.

It is a symbol of death!

Haobu watched the falling blue light, took a step forward, and his silver armor shone brightly. He roared and swung out a huge fist with unparalleled strength!
It was full of disdain, as if it were not a towering curtain of water, but a harmless drizzle.

Upon seeing this, the other two people on the Star River Mountain Path showed different expressions.

Nan Yi was slightly pleased, but more surprised, astonished that Hao Bu did not dodge at all, unsure whether the other party was confident or arrogant.

After all, he wasn't quite sure what Titan's strength was. If he looked at Xiao Ning, her bloodline was far superior to that of the pseudo-dragons and sub-dragons in Wanlong Valley. Even so, Xiao Ning couldn't possibly have willingly taken Nan Yi's level four magic.

Bora, speechless, twitched the corners of her mouth and uttered the word "idiot" from her thin, blood-red lips.

The others watching, however, were filled with anticipation. They seemed to already see the Mountain Guardian Titan shatter the azure sky with a single punch, upholding Parthenon's majesty.

Soon, the water foliage curtain descended.

The scene seemed to be paused. Hao Bu's body stiffened slightly, and the fist that was powerful enough to shatter a mountaintop suddenly lost all its momentum.

Haobu looked bewildered. It was not very intelligent to begin with and couldn't understand why. It just felt that the normally harmless water flow had such great power and was as difficult to deal with as mud, which made it feel a little panicked and at a loss.

He and Bora were evenly matched, so how could he possibly lose when he made a move?
As time passed, the terrifying pressure and sluggishness intensified, and Haobu completely lost his balance, finally staggering. This momentary loss of balance was like an anthill beneath a thousand-mile dike; the next second, the Titan's massive body collapsed!

"Boom!"

"Roar!!!"

The tremors of the mountain, mixed with Haobu's frustrated and angry roars, echoed throughout the mountain road.

Hulk struggled to his feet, only to be knocked down again by the churning waves. He rose and fell repeatedly, but fortunately, he was protected by the silver light, and the giant's massive size dispersed most of the power, so he was not seriously injured.

This scene, which was almost like toying with a giant, left many people on Mount Sacred speechless with astonishment, and the impact was far greater than the battle with Bora.

A moment later, the dark blue light dissipated.

Xiao Ning had already returned to Nan Yi's side, her forked tongue flicking, her vertical pupils warily fixed on the two figures, one large and one small, ahead.

“Haobu, I’ll restrict his summoned beasts and high-level magic. You deal with him,” Bora said seriously.

"Roar!!!"

Upon hearing this, Haobu angrily pounded his chest and charged towards Nan Yi, each stomp covering a distance of over a hundred meters.

Bora, on the other hand, transforms into a blood bat, her ghostly figure flitting about near Nan Yi, elusive and unpredictable, like a venomous snake lurking in wait.

The next moment!
The shadow fell from above; it was the giant foot of Hobu!
With a flick of the snake's tail, a flash of silver light appeared.

Instantaneous movement!

Nan Yi arrived a hundred meters away.

But before it could even catch its breath, a fierce gust of wind from a punch landed!
"boom!"

The mountain road trembled, and a deep pit appeared.

"Roar?"

Haobu moved his fist away and saw only a pit of silver dust; the man and the snake were long gone.

"right."

Bora's voice rang out at the right moment, and Haobu subconsciously turned his head to meet the cascading waterfall. It was Nan Yi's mid-level fourth-grade magic. Haobu could sense its power, but it was a little scared, so it still used all its strength to receive it.

A silvery glow shone forth, and muscles bulged beneath his massive arm. With a single punch, he shattered a level-four storm wave that was powerful enough to kill an ordinary junior commander!

Only faint white marks remained on its fist.

"Hmph, it seems the farce is coming to an end."

On the sacred mountain, Ander sneered. With Bora and Hob joining forces, she saw no chance of Nan Yi winning.
In the small pavilion on Fragrant Hills, Asha Ruya watched the tremors and turmoil on the mountain path, her eyes unreadable, as if she were plotting something.

"If you can succeed in this, I don't mind putting up more bets."

At the foot of Parthenon.

"..."

That's the situation right now.

Li Nian said in a deep voice.

"Nan Yi is likely to fail, and his life may even be in danger. Should the embassy intervene to mediate?"

He thought that Nan Yi was already a genius for fighting Bora to this point, but who would have thought that an accident would happen and awaken the guardian of the fourth level ahead of schedule.

It's still the Titan of Earth.

It's hard to say even in a one-on-one situation, let alone a one-on-two. I just don't know how the higher-ups are weighing the impact of the embassy's intervention.

But the next second, a question came from the other end of the phone.

"Mediate what?"

"Huh? But..."

"They're just two sub-monarchs in strength. You should stick to your original preparations. Remember, always refer to the totem."
