Chapter Summaries

Luluenman joined the coming Plane War, and Grandmaster Cuilisi provided her forces and explained the Poison Fire Green Flame World. After the gathering, Saine received Azure Fire Magic materials and was urged by Luluenman to perform well in the invasion.

• Luluenman agreed to participate in the Plane War, and Grandmaster Cuilisi assigned her and Pinas command over Formal Magicians and slave creature legions.
• Grandmaster Cuilisi described the Poison Fire Green Flame World and its level-5 ruler, Poison Flame Demon King Anruida, who wielded the Laws of Fire and Virulent Poison.
• The Holy Tower Masters spent more than half a month planning troop deployments and strategies, with Cuilisi's war assets compensating for Azure Source Holy Tower's lack of a Space Fortress.
• After the gathering, Saine traveled back with Luluenman and received a Crystal Ball containing the Azure Fire Magic knowledge system and a Magic Book of Cuilisi's recent insights.
• Luluenman told Saine that Cuilisi knew of his first-place finish in the Regional Holy Tower Academy War and urged him to perform well in the coming Plane War.

In the two years before the expedition to the Poison Fire Green Flame World, Saine and the Azure Source Holy Tower prepared for war while his mentor Luluenman remained busy with the World Laboratory. With one month left before departure, Saine had studied Azure Fire Magic and repaired three Metal Discs, but regretted that time had limited his preparations.

• Luluenman and the Formal-Ranked Magicians grew tense after learning they would set out for the Poison Fire Green Flame World in two years.
• Saine learned that the Azure Source Holy Tower had nearly a thousand registered Formal Magicians, though only five hundred were called to fight because many were Academy Mages focused on research.
• Saine spent the two years studying Azure Fire Magic alongside light- and fire-element magic, and learned two new Spell Models.
• Saine prepared for the war using Moxidu's Magic Staff and repaired two damaged Metal Discs, giving him three in total.
• With one month remaining before departure, Saine sighed in his laboratory that he could have prepared more thoroughly if he had had more time.

Saine told Serena he would leave next month with the Azure Source Holy Tower Formal Magicians to wage war in an Alien Plane that might last nearly thirty years. He arranged support for Serena while he was away, then reflected on the Poison Fire Green Flame World before someone opened his bedroom door.

• Saine asked Serena about her studies, and she said she had hit a bottleneck while constructing the Scorching Eye Spell Model and planned to visit the library.
• Saine told Serena he would depart next month for a war in an Alien Plane and hoped she would advance to Quasi-Magician or Formal Magician before he returned.
• Serena dropped her spoon and struggled with the news that she might not see Saine for nearly thirty years.
• Saine told Serena that the 701st and 702nd floors would remain open to her, promised to leave her Energy Crystals and Magic Coins, and named Green, Daniel, and Anna as people who could help her.
• After a day of experiments, Saine wondered whether the Poison Fire Green Flame World resembled Yellow Sand World and thought about its billion-plus native intelligent beings.
• The bedroom door creaked open as Saine lay on his bed.

Serena approached Saine in a romantic gown and confessed her feelings, but Saine refused to begin a relationship while she was still a Magic Apprentice. He promised to accept her if she advanced to Formal Magician, leaving Serena determined to pursue magic and Truth.

• Serena entered Saine's room dressed elegantly and approached him with the intention of expressing her feelings.
• Saine recognized that becoming intimate with Serena would mean taking responsibility for their relationship, and he told her she did not need to make such a bold choice.
• Saine explained that he valued the pursuit of Truth and that a relationship between a long-lived Magician and a short-lived apprentice could end in lasting pain.
• Serena said she was willing to wait for Saine during his nearly thirty-year absence, but Saine urged her to advance to Formal Magician before they began a relationship.
• Serena resolved to become a Formal Magician and asked Saine to wait for her; Saine promised he would accept her feelings if they remained unchanged after her advancement.

After Saine and Serena shared their feelings, Saine prepared to leave with Azure Source Holy Tower for the war in the Poison Fire Green Flame World. The expedition departed the Wizard World aboard Luluenman's Green Leaf, and Saine saw the true scale and spherical shape of his world for the first time.

• Serena left Saine's room delighted after they had opened their hearts to each other, and Saine reviewed Azure Fire Magic before joining her for breakfast.
• During the month before the war, Luluenman told Saine about the cost of preparing her World Laboratory's plant forces and organized the participating Magicians.
• Saine learned that Director Johnny, Irene, and Green would join the expedition, which included 543 Formal-Ranked Magicians from Azure Source Holy Tower.
• Luluenman led the Magicians aboard a gigantic Green Leaf as Archimedes, Serena, Daniel, Anna, and Mark bade them farewell.
• As the Green Leaf flew beyond the Wizard World, Saine saw the world from above and realized it was spherical and vastly larger than he had imagined.

Saine and the Azure Source Holy Tower magicians arrived at the latest-generation Space Fortress belonging to Azure Blaze Cuilisi, where they prepared to join the invasion of the Poison Fire Green Flame World. Saine told Irene that the Azure Flame Holy Tower had probably assembled several million slave creatures for the war.

• Saine saw the Wizard World's dense defensive fields and enormous Space Fortresses as his group traveled through the Star Realm.
• Luluenman led the Azure Source Holy Tower magicians to Azure Blaze Cuilisi's vast Space Fortress, and Saine noticed her envy of its scale and sophistication.
• Saine and the others entered the fortress and saw Azure Flame Holy Tower magicians moving through it in an orderly fashion.
• Irene asked Saine how many slave creature legions the Azure Flame Holy Tower had prepared for the invasion war.
• Saine estimated that the Azure Flame Holy Tower had prepared several million slave creatures.

Saine settled into his luxurious quarters aboard the Space Fortress and observed the Wizard World from space. After Magician Irene invited him to eat, he agreed to meet her and make connections before the coming war on the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

• Saine explored his spacious top-floor quarters and recorded his observations of the Wizard World in a Crystal Ball.
• Magician Irene contacted Saine, invited him to eat, and asked him to come down to her residence.
• Saine agreed, recognizing that he would need allies during the dangerous Alien Plane war.
• Saine flew down to Irene's residential area, where she welcomed him and offered to introduce him to friends.

Saine met Magician Irene’s friends and explored the Space Fortress, where he learned about the enslaved creatures used as war fodder. After a month, the fortress departed with two others and entered the Gates of Space-Time on its way to the Nesser Star Region and the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

• Saine met more than ten of Magician Irene’s friends, exchanged Crystal Ball Communication methods with them, and remained wary of trusting outsiders.
• Saine toured the slave legion area and met fellow senior brother Toke Lu, who managed about ten thousand Slave Creatures.
• Toke Lu showed Saine the Level 3 Ironclad Rhino King and explained that it had been sold to Wizard Civilization by a Level-4 lifeform from the Rhino Barbarian Plane.
• About a month after Saine arrived, his Space Fortress departed alongside fortresses from Flame Sigh Holy Tower and Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower.
• The three Space Fortresses reached the Gates of Space-Time, where Saine learned that they would pass through to the Nesser Star Region and head for the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

Saine traveled with the Azure Flame Holy Tower’s Space Fortress through a space-time channel and arrived at the outskirts of the Nesser Star Region, where Wizard Civilization was closing in on its last resistance. Three Space Fortresses then reached Poison Fire Green Flame World, where the Level-5 Poison Flame Demon King Anruida felt their overwhelming pressure.

• Saine traveled through the space-time channel aboard the Space Fortress and learned that a year had passed in the Material Star Realm.
• Andres announced that the fortress was nearing Number Two War Zone, and Saine saw signs of fierce fighting and wrecked Wizard alchemical craft in the Nesser Star Region.
• Saine considered the conflict and wondered about Nesser Civilization’s Construct Golem Legion, but the three fortresses reached Poison Fire Green Flame World without encountering a nearby battle.
• Saine observed Poison Fire Green Flame World’s two continents and magma sea, while the three Space Fortresses assembled outside it.
• Poison Flame Demon King Anruida sensed the fortresses’ arrival and felt nearly suffocated by their immense pressure.

As the Wizard Civilization’s forces gathered outside the Poison Fire Green Flame World, Gagaru rejected its ruler’s plea to join the Wizard Alliance and began attacking its Plane Barrier. Saine watched from the Space Fortress as his Second Senior Uncle turned into a flaming meteor and charged the world.

• Cuilisi offered to break the Poison Fire Green Flame World’s Plane Barrier, but Gagaru insisted that he would handle the weak plane himself.
• Saine joined nearly two hundred Formal Magicians in the Space Fortress and saw Gagaru approach the world in his Elemental True Body.
• Poison Flame Demon King Anruida asked why the Wizard Civilization’s legion had arrived despite the world’s application to join the Wizard Alliance.
• Gagaru declared that the application had been rejected and that four Holy Towers would suppress and purge the world.
• Gagaru struck the Plane Barrier with his enlarged Magic Staff, then transformed into a green-flamed meteor and hurtled toward the world.

Level-5 Magician Gagaru overwhelmed Poison Flame Demon King Anruida and tore through the Poison Fire Green Flame World's fragile Plane Barrier. The world's terrified inhabitants watched as Gagaru entered, leaving their plane exposed to invasion.

• Poison Flame Demon King Anruida fought back against Gagaru's flaming meteor, but the clash sent shockwaves across the Poison Fire Green Flame World.
• Gagaru's superior power forced Anruida to retreat, and the Demon King fell from the sky before the world's horrified inhabitants.
• Gagaru's elemental head appeared through the clouds and revealed his intent to invade the Poison Fire Green Flame World.
• Gagaru tore open the plane's fragile barrier and laughed as the native creatures saw his enormous true body.

Gagaru and Pinas attacked the weak Plane Barrier of the Poison Fire Green Flame World while Cuilisi suspected the plane’s foundations had been damaged. As the invasion began, Cuilisi located the hidden guardian and ordered Andres to prepare the Space Fortress’s main cannon.

• Cuilisi concluded that the Poison Fire Green Flame World’s Plane Will was unusually weak and ordered the invasion to proceed while she guarded the world for half a year.
• Cuilisi told Luluenman to enter the battle last because her strength was lower and Plant Element Law Power was restrained by the world’s rules.
• Gagaru continued prying open the breach in the Plane Barrier, and Pinas joined him by summoning a vast four-colored Elemental Vortex that disrupted the world.
• The Poison Fire Green Flame World’s guardian called on the Children of Flame to stop the invaders.
• Cuilisi identified the guardian’s hiding place near an eastern magma lake and told Luluenman to have Andres ready the Space Fortress’s main cannon.

Pinas and Gagaru forced open a breach in the Poison Fire Green Flame World's Plane Barrier while native creatures fought to stop them. As Pinas's Slave Creatures joined the battle, the largest Space Fortress charged its main cannon, and Anruida realized the approaching threat.

• Over a million native Fire Element Beings answered the Crimson Flame Green Turtle's summons and charged Gagaru and Pinas at the breach.
• Pinas deployed her carefully selected Slave Creatures to hold back the native defenders while Gagaru continued prying open the Plane Barrier.
• A Level-3 Peak Black Toad entered the world and fought the native fire-type Sub-Dragon that had urged the creatures to attack.
• Millions of creatures clashed as the invasion of the Poison Fire Green Flame World began.
• The largest Space Fortress finished charging its main cannon, and Anruida watched from beneath the Magma Sea as it prepared to fire.

Cuilisi fired the Space Fortress’s main cannon at the Poison Fire Green Flame World, while Anruida tried to stop the attack. Cuilisi’s Elemental Arrow struck Anruida and sent him crashing toward the Magma Sea just as the cannon reached the Plane Barrier.

• The Space Fortress completed charging its main cannon, and Gagaru and Pinas sensed the attack was coming.
• Cuilisi’s crimson Energy Beam fired toward the Plane Barrier as Anruida emerged from the Magma Sea to try to deflect it.
• Cuilisi conjured and launched a powerful Elemental Arrow at Anruida.
• The Elemental Arrow pierced the Plane Barrier and struck Anruida, sending him plunging toward the Magma Sea.
• Anruida realized the Space Fortress’s main cannon had reached the Plane Barrier and closed his eyes, expecting disaster for himself and the world.

The Wizard Civilization’s Space Fortress shattered the Poison Fire Green Flame World’s Plane Barrier, allowing its invasion forces to pour through. As Saine prepared to enter battle, Gagaru captured a wounded Sub-Dragon and passed it to Pinas for their youngest Junior Sister’s collection.

• The Space Fortress’s main cannon broke the Plane Barrier and widened the breach, further weakening the Poison Fire Green Flame World’s Plane Will.
• Gagaru revealed that the Poison Fire Green Flame World’s Guardian had fallen to the cannon strike, then subdued a wounded Level-3 Peak fire-element Sub-Dragon.
• The Space Fortress’s main cannon stopped firing after three minutes, and the Wizard Civilization’s invasion began in full.
• Gagaru offered the sealed Sub-Dragon to Pinas, who suggested giving it to their youngest Junior Sister as a reward for her Holy Tower Academy’s Regional Academy War result.
• Saine received notice inside the Space Fortress to stand by as it prepared to descend upon the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

Saine and the magicians aboard a Space Fortress prepared to enter the Poison Fire Green Flame World as the fortress descended into the plane. After Luluenman warned Saine to stay with the main force and use his Green Source Seeds if needed, Saine leapt out to join the invasion.

• The Space Fortress descended through the Plane Barrier, and Saine reflected on the Poison Fire Green Flame World's Plane Navel and the ease of the breakthrough.
• Luluenman contacted Saine, told him to treat his first Plane War as a trial, stay near the main force, and use his Green Source Seeds if he faced danger.
• The hatch opened onto the black-red continent below, and Saine breathed the world's sulfurous air before jumping from the Space Fortress.
• Three Space Fortresses descended upon the Poison Fire Green Flame World, releasing millions of slave creatures from the Azure Flame, Flame Sigh, and Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Towers.
• The Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower's slave creatures were the first to clash with the world's natives, while the magicians initially drew little attention.

Saine entered the Poison Fire Green Flame World and helped clear the area around the Azure Flame Holy Tower Space Fortress’s landing site. After patrolling the Jet-Black Volcano and collecting Flame Creatures, he received an urgent call for support against a Flame Salamander family with Level-1 members.

• Saine felt the alien plane’s suppression effect but remained at about 85% of his normal strength.
• A Second-Level Magician ordered Saine and the other magicians to inspect the areas around their landing points for dangers.
• Saine landed in a hollow on the western side of the Jet-Black Volcano and searched the area with a Scouting Spell.
• Saine killed Flame Creatures and stored some in his Space Bracelet, then wondered whether the plane’s creatures had strong resistance to Fire Element Magic.
• A male magician reported through the Crystal Ball that a Flame Salamander family containing Level-1 creatures had been found and urgently requested nearby support.

Saine joined a battle against two Level-1 Flame Salamanders and used light-element magic to help defeat them. After the spoils were divided, he told Luna that he belonged to the Azure Source Holy Tower, not the Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower.

• Saine arrived as three Level-1 Magicians fought the Flame Salamanders and their creatures around a Magma Pool.
• Saine attacked the smaller Level-1 Flame Salamander with Sun's Eye Magic, and two more Formal Magicians arrived as the battle continued.
• Seven Level-1 Magicians overwhelmed and killed both Flame Salamanders and nearly all the creatures with them.
• The magicians divided the spoils, and Saine received scales and armor, an eyeball, and a heart from one salamander.
• Luna asked whether Saine was from the Off-Ground Light Flame Holy Tower, and Saine said he was from the Azure Source Holy Tower.

After defeating two Flame Salamanders, Saine joined forces with nearby magicians and learned of a Magic Crystal vein beneath their battlefield. He stayed cautious in the Black Volcano and began studying Azure Fire Magic, hoping its body-tempering mysteries could strengthen him.

• Saine exchanged Crystal Ball Communication methods with Luna and three other Level-1 Magicians after processing the Flame Salamanders' remains.
• Second-Level Magician Kreis investigated the Magma Pool, found a small Magic Crystal vein, and marked it so the magicians could claim rewards.
• Saine spent two days searching the Black Volcano without finding more Level-1 creatures, then chose not to venture deeper into the world alone.
• Saine established a temporary laboratory in a cave and reviewed the two initial mysteries of Azure Fire Magic.
• Saine considered using Azure Fire Body Tempering Mysteries to strengthen his body and gain some traits of a Second-Level Magician's Elementalized body.

After a week studying Azure Fire Magic and helping secure Black Volcano, Saine returned to the Fortress Main Base as the Wizard Civilization Legion expanded its campaign across the Poison Fire Green Flame World. He collected his mission rewards and headed to meet Irene and the other magicians from the Azure Source Holy Tower.

• Saine created Green Flame Fire, his first result from studying Azure Fire Magic, and considered incorporating it into his mastered Spell Models.
• Saine and the other magicians flew back to the Fortress Main Base as War Airships, Slave Creatures, and magicians deployed westward.
• Saine reported to the base, received six hundred Magic Coins for his missions and the discovered Magic Crystal vein, and was ordered to remain on standby.
• Irene contacted Saine, who left Luna and the Azure Flame Holy Tower magicians and flew to meet Irene and the other Azure Source Holy Tower magicians.
