This was good stuff. With this equipped, one no longer had to worry about drowning with these boots. However, Fatty was very upset as his level was lacking by just a bit.
Aside from this equipment, there were several other Gold and Silver-tier items. However, their stats were only so-so, so they wouldn’t be able to sell for much.
Fatty was very pleased with himself as he sorted through his inventory. While there was no sign of the Waterwalk book yet, he had already reaped some successful harvests with this equipment.
Boom, boom!
Right at this moment, a series of explosions echoed from a distance. Fatty raised his head and saw a fiery red cloud speeding in his direction.
West had returned, and Fatty urgently stood up, wondering what could force someone like West to flee in such a sorry state.
“Lil’ Bro, run!” West flew over and grabbed Fatty, bringing the later alongside him to flee towards the mainland.
“Big Bro, what is that?”
Behind West, a huge patch of blue, glowing water was hot on his heels. With every time West cast a spell behind him, this blue patch devoured the attack, minimizing the damage to almost nothing.
“That’s my enemy,” West resentfully said. “I wanted to get a mount for you but came across her on the way. I couldn’t hold myself back and started a fight with her, but it turned out I’m not a match for her after being sealed for so long, ahhh…”
“Don’t worry, Big Bro. As long as you absorb enough water essence and eat the Dragon Revolution Leaf to rank up, you can definitely beat and torture it however you like,” Fatty consoled.
“You’re right,” West’s face was still grave, but he nodded anyway. “Even after so many years, she is only one rank above me now. I won’t be afraid of the elemental restraint as long as I use the water essence to rank up. Let’s see how I’ll toy with her to death then!”
West’s voice gradually rose, nearly screaming the last sentence.
“West, my old friend. Long time no see! Why won’t you stay and accompany me?” A pleasant sounding voice echoed from the blue patch behind them. Fatty was stunned. So West’s enemy is a woman.
“Aliya, don’t be so smug. If it weren’t for the fact that it was only just a short time ago that I broke free from the seal, you wouldn’t be a match for me. After I rank up, I shall find you to settle our debt!” West turned his head and roared at his foe, but the speed of the Fire Cloud was getting faster despite the minor distraction.
Rumble. A large wave ahead of them suddenly turned and rolled towards the Fire Cloud.
“Keke… West, if it’s under these circumstances, all the more reason I can’t let you go,” Aliya’s bell-like laughter transmitted from the blue patch. Then, the sky-blotting patch suddenly shrank back and slowly materialized into a woman’s form.
“Humph!” West broke the hindering wave with a punch and continued to speed up. “Aliya, you have to attain the ability first if you want to deter me. Don’t think you can disregard my power just because you’re a rank higher.”
“If you’re so mighty, don’t go. Water Dragon Strike,” Aliya laughed wildly and raised both hands. A dozen water dragons appeared in the sky in all directions and flocked over to the Fire Cloud.
“Fire Dragon Break, Flame Dragon Burn!” West exclaimed vehemently and moved his hands in a similar motion to Aliya. A dozen fire dragons appeared around the Fire Cloud and charged at the water dragons.
Fatty stared closely as the fire and water dragons collided, producing nonstop thunderous sounds by his ears. Many water drops burst in all directions, a mist rising from the epicenter of the collision to cover a large surrounding area.
“Such fortune!” West let out a guttural shout before chanting something indistinguishable.
“Firewalk!” With this chant, West transformed into a flame that enshrouded Fatty inside. Afterward, he sprang like an arrow towards the mainland’s direction, leaving a trail of fire in his wake.
“Even if you want to run, West, you’ve gotta leave something behind!” Aliya shouted. She too transformed into an azure patch of gleaming water and chased after the blazing streak.
“Aliya, here ya go, haha!” Along with West’s laughter, over ten fierce red beads shot in the direction of the blue patch and exploded in a series of heaven-shattering thunder. Indeed, this brat was once again tossing out more Thunderfire Power Bombs.
