Is this an illusion?

He is obviously the emperor of the desert, but at the last moment he heard the sound of the sea tide?

Well, probably the sound of war drums - maybe I've lost my mind from being roasted by the fire.

However, the next moment, when the icy waters wet Azir's body, the desert emperor finally realized that things seemed to be ...... as he imagined It's not quite the same.

Barely opening his eyes, Azir saw the raging tide under the glow of the blazing flames, roaring waves sweeping in from all directions, fighting the flames...... No matter how big or small?

Struggling to get up, Azir finally saw the figure on the wave who was fighting Blander with the Tidecaller Staff - her body was slender and slender, and her face was gentle and serene, but at this moment, in everyone's minds, she was the most heroic Valkyrie!

Nami!

"Ride the waves!"

As Nami raised the Staff of the Tidecaller, the raging tide suddenly split into a small stream without warning, gently sending away a household that had not yet had time to leave.

“…… Vastaya? Brand seemed to be brewing a different kind of anger, "A descendant of Charity? ”

"Exactly!" Nami flicked her fishtail and raised her staff at the head of the tide, "Mermaid Tide Caller, Nami! ”

"Little Guy ......" Facing Nami with a confident face, Brand suddenly laughed, and his previous anger seemed to be swept away, "The offspring of Xiarui...... Descendant! ”

“？”

"I thought they deliberately mastered the power of the sea in order to deal with me, it turns out that you are just a tide caller, not a sea lord!"

"Lord of the Sea?" Nami had obviously never heard of this name, "I don't know what the Lord of the Sea is, but no matter what, I can't sit back and watch you make a move on these innocent people, any life is worth cherishing, any life is the most precious!" ”

"It's ridiculous!" Brand stretched out his left hand, and a water dragon quickly formed in the palm of his hand at his beckoning, and then turned into flames in the blink of an eye, "Or do you think that with your own ability, you can stop me and stop the eternal burn?" ”

“……”

Nami didn't speak, she just lowered her body slightly, ready for battle.

"Then I'll show you what the fire of the burning sea is!"

Brand fell from mid-air to the waves, plunging his flaming hands into the icy waters, and the next moment, a scene that stunned everyone appeared.

When she came into contact with Brand's seawater, she immediately burst into flames, as if Nami was not calling for the sea's water, but for flammable grease!

Nami obviously couldn't imagine that either.

Although she had been away from her home and wandering in human society for a long time, Nami had never seen such a situation, and in her understanding, water could extinguish fires - and she had even played the role of a volunteer firefighter many times, no matter how big the fire, a wave would always go out.

But now, things are completely different.

Brand ignites the sea!

Nami tried to suddenly rewind the wave that was ignited, but found that it was completely cut off from herself, and it seemed that after being ignited, it was no longer the sea, but a part of Brand.

Nami, who couldn't figure out the situation, could only control the water against the current, avoiding Brand to destroy other combustibles - she didn't dare to directly attack Brand with the tide, for fear that the tide head would become Brand's weapon instead.

Seeing this scene, Azir, whose heart had just been relieved, was dumbfounded again, he thought that Nami would be able to easily defeat Brand with a move, and that the sea would be able to extinguish the damn flame, but from now on, it seemed that this flame was ...... Even seawater can ignite!

What kind of flame is this?!

"Hahahahahaha

Brand, on the other hand, appears to be in a frenzy of pleasure, mocking Nami while creating a burning fence to catch the little mermaid alive.

"Let me see what the heir of Xia Rui looks like when it burns-"

Then, just as he was about to start, a calm voice appeared behind Brand very suddenly.

"Unfortunately, you can't see it."

This old and familiar voice made Brand's heart suddenly move, and he subconsciously wanted to swing the flame whip in his hand, but before he could make a move, several arcane runes appeared out of thin air in the air, imprisoning him directly in place.

"Tell me, Brand - who released you, who is using you to your behalf?" The owner of the voice suddenly appeared, "Your seal is not so easy to break. ”

"Oh?" Although Brand was imprisoned, he didn't seem to be the slightest bit depressed, "You're no longer my teacher...... Don't think I'll answer whatever you ask! ”

"Yes." Ruiz took off his hood and mask to shield him from the wind and sand, and looked at Brand in front of him without joy or sadness, "Looks like it provides you with some protection?" ”

"Guarantee...... No, no, no. Brand taunted Reze with difficulty, "That's just a trivial deal—it's a pity that the great Rune Guardian is about to fall headlong into this trivial little trick." ”

"Like when you were sealed?" There was no panic on Ryze's face that Brand wanted to see, and he still looked like he was winning, "It's a pity...... You seem to have forgotten that I can also ask for help. ”

Hearing Ruiz say this, Brand was suddenly shocked, and then fell into a rage.

"No one can help you, Ruiz, no one!"

"Everyone except you will become a slave of the great rune power, you don't want to control me, you don't deserve to control me!"

"You think you've found a helper? Sadly, he will quickly become infected by the power of the great runes and become one of us! ”

"Don't think you'll win, idiot, you can't win me!"

Brand's hysteria didn't make Reze fluctuate even a bit, he just watched his former apprentice sink into a frenzy of impotence.

Five minutes later, a guy who had been frozen into ice lumps was thrown in front of Brand with a pop.

"If you're talking about this sneaky guy, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed - he's finished, and he didn't even have time to use the power of the world's runes."

Brand paused visibly.

“…… You don't have to be on Ryze's side, kid. Facing the man who had wrapped himself in his robes, Brand suddenly began to whisper seductively, "Open your arms and embrace the power of the runes, I can give you everything...... All! ”

"Everything?" The tone of the visitor seemed to stifle a smile, "Alright then, Mr. Brand, allow me to introduce myself first. ”

As he spoke, he took off his hood, revealing a face with black hair and black eyes, and a smile that did not shy away.

"My name is Rod, Rod Lothar - nice to meet you, oh yes, I'm a Rune Annihilator."
