Before leaving the Space Fortress, Saine bid farewell to two Mage he was relatively Mage with Mage, Irene and Johnny. →

Judging from her injuries, it's unlikely that Irene will fully recover without at least six months of rest.

The fortress treats severely injured Mage with preferential treatment and would not forcibly issue them war missions.

It is their right to stay in the Space Fortress and recuperate.

Before leaving, Irene, whose upper body bandages had been partially removed, clearly felt a pang of reluctance to part with Saine, who was about to embark on his campaign.

Over the past two weeks, Saine has visited Irene several times.

Although it was almost always Irene who took the initiative to ask Saine to come to her, Saine did eventually keep his appointment.

After having fought side by side in the same plane, the emotional relationship between Saine and Irene has clearly warmed up considerably.

When Irene told him that she would be leaving tomorrow, Irene was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "When you return from this mission, I'll give you something good."

"What is it?" Saine asked.

Irene blushed and didn't answer, only saying, "Please come back alive. I've already lost several friends, and I don't want you to perish here too."

"Don't worry, I still remember the Magic Coin you owe me," Saine replied seriously.

Unlike Irene's sentimentality, Saine was much more open-minded when bidding farewell to Johnny Second-Level Magician Mage.

The baptism of war in the Poison Fire Green Flame World has also imbued this Second-Level Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower with a touch of fierceness.

This is the kind of temperament a qualified War Magician should possess. Saine guessed that the Mage Johnny had participated in quite a few Plane War.

I wonder where the Mage Johnny was before he came to the Azure Source Holy Tower.

It should be the southern coast of the Wizard World, since he was friends with the Midiqi Mage, he must have spent some time on the southern coast of the Wizard World.

"There shouldn't be any war near the Fortress Main Base in the short term. I guess the main direction of military operations will be east of the Flame Continent."

"Keep up the good work, kid. Who knows, in another month or two, we might be fighting side by side again!" Johnny said, patting Saine on the shoulder.

Because of his long service in the war and the fact that he had just finished a long period of combat missions, Johnny was granted a longer period of rest.

He nodded to the Second-Level Magician Azure Source Holy Tower.

En then took his leave.

He didn't see Owl Little Qi wake up until Saine left.

However, Saine had a vague feeling that Little Seven's transformation should be nearing its end.

He gave one of the keys to Saine's room to Irene, who was still recovering from her injuries.

This was done so that Irene could help look after Little Seven. Irene could stay in the Space Fortress for a long time anyway, and if Little Seven needed any wind-elemental Energy Crystal, Irene could help replenish them.

In addition, Irene also needs to keep an eye on the Nesser Civilization Construct Master who is imprisoned in the laboratory during this time.

Saine didn't want his lab to be messed up by a test subject, or for him to return to find the Construct Master starved to death.

Irene had long been extremely curious about Saine's room on the top floor of the Space Fortress.

In addition, she still owed Saine a sum of money, so she did not refuse Saine's request at all.

Having prepared all the potions and Energy Crystal, and even crafted and repaired several pieces of magical equipment before setting off, Saine embarked on his journey.

Six War Airship, arranged in an arrowhead shape, headed northeast towards the Flame Continent.

If this method of advance by warfighting flight had been used when they first arrived in the Poison Fire Green Flame World, it would definitely have attracted the obstruction of the world's native flying Flame Creature.

However, the three thousand Mage, including Saine, traveled from the Fortress Main Base to the Far-Off Flame Holy Tower Space Fortress in the northeast, traversing nearly half of the Flame Continent, without encountering any significant resistance.

This also shows that regardless of whether the Construct Golem Legion still have Combat Power, at least the Homeland Being of the Poison Fire Green Flame World have become weak.

Saine spent two weeks in the War Airship.

Two weeks later, when he stepped off the elevator of the War Airship, what he saw was a vast, boundless Magma Sea.

The most expansive body of water that Saine had ever seen before was the Jewel Sea surrounding the Azure Source Holy Tower in the Wizard World.

However, the Jewel Sea is a vast expanse of azure water where the sea and sky meet, while the Magma Sea in front of us is a dazzling crimson.

Furthermore, upon arriving at the Magma Sea, Saine clearly felt that the temperature here was several levels higher than in the heart of the Flame Continent.

"For ordinary creatures below level one, let alone fighting in this environment, even survival would become extremely difficult."

"However, the slave creature army prepared by Grandmaster and his two senior uncles..."

"The group consists mostly of fire-attribute creatures, which makes them quite well-suited to this kind of warfare environment," said Saine, gazing into the distance at the Magma Sea.

After another half month, the injury on Saine's arm had mostly healed.

Saine felt that the speed at which the injury recovered might also be related to the Azure Fire Body Tempering Mysteries that he had just begun to learn.

The red and green patterns on his arms and body emanated a faint azure Element Power.

Having just stepped off the War Airship, before Saine could even receive any specific mission details, a Mental Strength message appeared in Saine mind.

"Junior brother!" It was a female voice that was clearly filled with joy. Following the source of the Mental Strength voice, Saine looked and saw a black dot in the sky, approaching from afar and appearing in front of Saine.

The person who came was Sylph, a senior disciple from the same sect as Saine.

Because they both had some research in the field of alchemy, Sylph was one of the few in the Azure Blaze Sect who had the most exchanges with Saine.

Furthermore, Saine and Sylph are close in age and started their training around the same time, so there is little barrier between them.

Sylph was Mage arrived in this war zone earlier than Saine, and she had even been near this Magma Sea for more than half a year.

Aside from the initial brief reminiscing, Saine also learned a great deal about the nearby war zone from Sylph.

There's a reason why the Fortress Main Base requested support here.

In this Magma Sea, a group of troublesome Flame Creature known as "Fire Melt Beast" live.

The Fire Melt Beast are a large race of Flame Creature that exist in the Magma Sea of Poison Fire Green Flame World. Their strong physique, tenacious vitality, and tendency to hide in the Magma Sea when they can't win a fight have caused a lot of headaches for the Invasion Legion of the Wizard World.

However, the Fire Melt Beast are not the most troublesome. More than half a year ago, as the Nesser Civilization's Construct Golem Legion appeared on a large scale in the Poison Fire Green Flame World, hundreds of thousands of Constructed Magic Puppet were also mobilized in this Northeast War Zone.

The Level-4 Magician Pei Nasi, from the Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower, was even engaged in a fierce battle with a Silver Armor Magic Puppet from the Nesser Civilization in the depths of the Magma Sea, not far from this area.

"In the past, we discovered a Rich Ore ' Green Glaze ' here, but shortly after, the Nesser Civilization's Construct Golem Legion appeared."

"Many Mage at the fortress say Mental Strength there is likely a strategic base of the Nesser Civilization beneath this Magma Sea," Sylph whispered to Saine, leaning closer.
