Deep Blue Starlight.

This is currently the strongest healing magic Andrew has mastered.

Belongs to the Water Priestess Series.

Not long ago, Andrew used this spell to treat Zi in Baal Town.

But.

This time, Deep Blue Starlight is somewhat different from before.

"Before, I always thought that the original power that drives magic was just magic power."

Andrew thought to himself, "However, as I cast the spell more and more, I feel that my previous thinking was actually somewhat limited."

Indeed, magic power is the original power that drives magic.

But the original power of magic is not only magic power.

The true driving force of a spell is actually all three basic abilities:

Water Spirit Technique.

Water Soul Constitution (Water Magic Power).

And the very crucial third basic ability, previously overlooked by Andrew, the Lifebound Series of the Fingertip Series!

Yes, it also includes the Fingertip Series.

This is Andrew's Lifebound Magic Series.

It is a very special Water Magic Series.

Like the Water Soul Constitution, it contains a hidden attribute.

The hidden attribute of the Water Soul Constitution is "Flame Immunity."

The hidden attribute of the Fingertip Series is named: Spell Domination.

Spell Domination is not magic in the usual sense.

Because it cannot cause any magical effect on anything external.

It is... magic that acts on magic.

The effect is very simple: if the spell cast by the caster is released through the caster's fingers, the spell effect is amplified!

"So, my current 'Deep Blue Starlight' is orchestrated by the 'Seed of the Water Spirit,' powerfully driven by 'Water Magic Power'...

and enhanced by the effect of 'Spell Domination'—

The most perfect 'Deep Blue Starlight' I can currently cast!"

Andrew thought.

This is a more powerful healing spell than the one used for Zi not long ago!

—At this point, Andrew's casting technique can be considered truly perfected.

The first two residents of the cemetery to arrive, and the three who followed, looked at the Water Tower Tree that Andrew had righted, and at the method he used to reattach the broken tree, with shocked amazement: "Is this even possible?"

Although they couldn't see what magic Andrew was casting, they all knew: this was Andrew's handiwork!

However, they still couldn't believe it.

This is probably some kind of balance and rule of the world: the more indestructible something is, once destroyed, the harder it is to repair.

The Water Tower Tree is a typical example.

It grows slowly but is hard to destroy once formed.

Yet once damaged, it is also hard to recover.

Even a tiny bit of damage is like this.

Let alone when the entire tree has been sawn off!

Rumor has it that there was once a towering Water Tower Tree in the Inner Sea Desert, but when the Magic Guild's then Elder Council leader personally burned its roots, leaving only the trunk and crown, that Water Tower Tree quickly withered away, with no miracle of revival.

"Although I'm not holding out much hope...

now, we can only trust Andrew."

The cemetery residents knew they couldn't help with magic.

So they motioned for the newly arrived crowd to remain quiet.

For a moment, everyone surrounded Andrew and the Water Tower Tree, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Intensely watching the seam where the tree was reattached.

Praying in their hearts that the Water Tower Tree could survive this ordeal with Andrew's magical help.

On the other side, the battle between Ivan and the Mayor had reached a fever pitch, leaving them no time to worry about this side.

After an unknown amount of time...

Andrew suddenly staggered, as if both his magic power and stamina were exhausted.

"Andrew!"

The crowd hurriedly approached.

But they saw Andrew, tired yet smiling, saying: "I'm fine. Shire... is also okay."

Although severely damaged, it would slowly recover on its own.

"Really? That's great!"

The crowd couldn't help but cheer.

The guardian of Wildfire Town had not fallen!

Still standing strong!

Yet Andrew was having trouble standing on his feet.

"This really is a bit overwhelming," thought Andrew.

It was the first time he experienced the feeling of magic exhaustion.

Fortunately, with the fusion of "Water Spirit Technique" and "Water Soul Constitution," new Water Magic Power would soon regenerate.

Compared to Fire Mages, Water Mages definitely have weaker explosive power, but their endurance, resilience, and magic regeneration capabilities are much stronger, much stronger indeed.

"Andrew, should we block the news of the Water Tower Tree being attacked from the other townsfolk?"

A meticulous cemetery resident asked at this moment.

"No need, there's nothing to hide, and it can't be hidden anyway."

Andrew shook his head and said solemnly, "Just tell everyone the truth. What's important is to tell everyone there's nothing to fear from the Magic Guild's conspiracy, Shire was indeed attacked, but it hasn't fallen! It will continue to protect us at Wildfire Town, protect everyone in Wildfire Town!"

He turned his gaze.

He saw Ivan's big dog named "Little Ha", which had somehow made its way to the scene.

"This big dog is indeed not a desolate beast."

Andrew thought, "Desolate beasts wouldn't dare come so close to the Water Tower Tree."

In fact, Little Ha, upon seeing the damaged part of the Water Tower Tree, showed a hint of human-like anger.

Seeming very upset about the Water Tower Tree's injury!

"Little Ha, is that right?"

Andrew tried approaching.

"Awooo."

Little Ha instinctively had some hostility, but soon relaxed again.

It felt as if Andrew had a presence that it found very comforting and likable.

Different from those annoying desolate beasts.

Andrew tried to gently pat Little Ha's large head, which had lowered before him, and laughed: "Could I ask you to stay around Shire for a while? Don't let any suspicious individuals come close. If anything unusual happens, just howl, and I'll come right away, Ivan too."

Little Ha thought for a moment, nodded.

Andrew smiled slightly, then turned back to watch Ivan's battle with the Mayor.

He could see that Ivan was solidly in the lead.

Andrew did not intervene, continuing to recover his magic power.

At the same time, stealthily summoning some magic with his somewhat recovered magic power.

This time, he cast the previously used "Water Demon Puppet."

Unlike before, this time Andrew summoned not a giant puppet.

But rather broke it into smaller parts, condensing a handful of palm-sized miniature versions of the "Water Demon Puppet."

Outwardly just silently watching Ivan and the Mayor's battle.

In reality, Andrew was arranging for these miniature "Water Demon Puppets" to scatter in all directions, centered on himself.

Like scouts, silently spreading out...

At the same time, about a kilometer away.

A small desert gray lizard quietly buried itself in the sand.

Its eyes fixed on Andrew and the others by the Water Tower Tree "Shire."

Compared to an ordinary desert gray lizard, it looked no different.

But in its gaze, there was a hint of human-like scrutiny.

As if someone was temporarily borrowing this gray lizard's perspective, silently observing.
