Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 255: Ten Versus Three [Part 1]

"We're here," Lilian said as she looked down at a clearing within the Deathseeker Forest.

Luna, who was also riding on Lilian's broomstick, didn't see anyone in the clearing, despite the fact that Lilian said that one of her comrades was there.

Sensing that something was amiss, Lilian took out her wand.

"Prepare for anything," Lilian said as she raised her guard.

Luna nodded and took out her wand as well.

The young lady then controlled her flying broom to slowly descend into the clearing, keeping her guards up and vigilantly eyeing their surroundings.

Luna did the same, readying herself for any possible attacks that might come from the shadows of the trees.

"I'm glad that it's you, Lilian. Seeing you here puts my heart at ease."

A familiar voice reached their ears.

Suddenly, a faint fluctuation appeared at the center of the clearing, and a handsome young man with short blonde hair and blue eyes materialized out of thin air.

"Brother," Lilian breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She only knew that someone from the same academy was in the clearing, but not who it was.

As a Wizard who specialized in Light Magic, it was very easy for Cedric to bend and reflect light in order to make himself invisible to his surroundings.

When he saw Luna riding on Lilian's broomstick, a surprised expression appeared on his face for a brief second before it was replaced with a smile.

Luna, on the other hand, frowned after seeing Cedric.

He was the last person she wanted to meet inside the Legacy Domain.

When she asked Lilian if she knew the identity of the person who was reacting to her emblem, the young lady said that she didn't know.

Luna knew that Lilian didn't lie and that she truly had no idea that they would be meeting her brother in the clearing.

"We meet again, Luna," Cedric said.

The angelic beauty simply nodded her head in acknowledgment. If possible, she didn't want to say a word to Cedric, especially after what he had done to force Ethan into a duel.

Seeing her reaction, Cedric couldn't help but smile bitterly. He could tell that the girl he liked was still angry at him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Just as Cedric was about to say something, several flying broomsticks appeared in the sky, making him frown.

Luna and Lilian, who also noticed the newcomers, disembarked from the flying broomstick and held their wands at the ready.

"Well, well, well—look who's here," one of the Wizards, who seemed to be the leader of the group, glanced at the three teenagers in the clearing. "Two students from Nightfall Academy, and one student from Brynhildr Academy."

"I guess we got lucky," another Wizard commented. "Looks like she got separated from her group."

The Wizard looked at Luna as if he was licking her body with his eyes. This made the angelic beauty frown because she had noticed the uniform of the students.

They belonged to Stormchaser Academy, Darkmoon Academy, and Ashenfang Academy.

There were other students who didn't belong to these three academies, but based on the calm, unthreatened expressions on their faces, she could tell that they were on good terms with each other.

'Ten people,' Luna thought. 'This will be hard.'

Seeing that the other Wizards and Witches were looking at her with sneers on their faces, it could only mean one thing.

They wanted to eliminate her right here, right now.

Perhaps thinking that this was a good opportunity to regain her favor, Cedric stepped in front of Luna and summoned his sword and shield.

"If you wish to fight her, you need to get through me first," Cedric stated in a calm manner.

"Wow, a knight in shining armor has come to protect the damsel in distress," a Witch said in disdain.

However, her eyes betrayed her emotions. She felt envious that someone like Cedric would actually step up in order to protect Luna from them.

"We have no bad blood with Nightfall Academy," one of the Wizards said with a smile. "Just surrender that beauty to us, and we'll let you hunt your Boss Monster in peace. We might even help you if you do that."

"That's right," another Wizard commented. "Don't worry, we won't kill her. How can we possibly do that to a beautiful girl? We'll just have fun with her and allow her to accompany us for a month."

Cheers of agreement rang out from the group. Clearly, they had very bad intentions towards Luna.

"I would not do that if I were you," Lilian said as she, too, stepped in front of Luna, holding her wand at the ready. "She is our friend. If you attack her, then we will treat you as our enemy."

The Group of Wizards and Witches looked at Lilian before laughing out loud.

"Oh! I'm sooooo scared!" a Wizard said in sarcasm. "What are we going to do? Two students from Nightfall Academy are standing in our way."

"Leader, the contract said that we are not allowed to kill or seriously injure the students from Nightfall Academy, right?" a Witch asked.

"That's right," the Wizard, who led the group replied.

"Then as long as we don't kill or seriously injure them, it will not be considered breaching the contract, right?" the Witch inquired again.

The Wizard nodded and a smirk appeared on his face. "Paralyze those two and leave them be. We only need to take the girl from Brynhildr Academy."

After giving his orders, the group immediately took action.

It was ten versus three, but Cedric and Lilian decided to fight and defend Luna against those who wished to capture her.

"""Impediendum!"""

Orange orbs of light flew from the tip of ten wands as they all aimed to paralyze Luna, Lilian, and Cedric at the same time.

The handsome blonde teenager raised his shield and shouted.

"Murus Lucis!"

A Dome of light surrounded him and the two girls, blocking the spells that were aimed in their direction.

"Use stronger offensive spells and break that barrier!" the Leader of the group shouted as he made a slashing motion with his wand.

"Ventus Vulnus!"

A three-meter-long Wind Blade flew in the direction of the Dome and exploded the moment it made contact with it.

The other students also unleashed powerful offensive spells, slowly chipping away at the Barrier of Light that Cedric had erected.

Half a minute later, cracks started forming on the shield's surface, which meant that it wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Seeing this scene, Luna took a deep breath before raising her wand towards the sky.

"Aetherius Draco!"

An eight-meter-long dragon materialized above Luna's head and immediately let out a Draconic Roar.

With a wave of her hand, the Dragon charged toward the Leader of the group, who was busy giving orders to his comrades.

Luna imbued a lot of Magic Power into creating the dragon, solidifying its body and allowing it to deal significant damage to those it hit.

The angelic beauty specialized in Moon Creation Magic.

Due to her overwhelming Magic Capacity, she was able to concentrate her Magic Power, allowing it to take any form that she wanted.

The more powerful the form, the more it drained her magic. This was one of the downsides of having a powerful ability that could only be used when conditions are met.

If she were fighting during the full moon, Luna could easily summon four of these dragons to fight for her.

However, her limited Magic Power hindered her from creating many copies at once. Even so, her creation was enough to threaten their enemies.
