Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 264: A Song Of Fire and Ice [Part 2]

"Don't stop, Garnet!" Ethan shouted as he and Luna used Faerie Fire and Moon Beams to prevent the Ancient Wendigo from focusing its attention on the Scarlet Witch. "Burn everything to the ground if you have to!"

"You really want to see the world burn, don't you?" Garnet retorted. But she had to admit that seeing the flames blaze around her was making her blood boil. "Just don't regret your decision later!"

"Ignis Tempestas!"

The Scarlet Witch once again unleashed a barrage of fireballs, intensifying the coverage of the Forest Fire.

She even started laughing wildly, like a crazy Witch, making the Magical Beasts in the forests run away in fear of being burned to ashes by the flames that were now turning the Deathseeker Forest into a hellish environment.

'Crazy!' Cedric screamed internally. 'These people are crazy!'

When he heard Ethan order the red-haired Witch to start burning the forest, he thought that the handsome young man was just joking.

However, when Garnet had indeed used one of her strongest Fire Spells to set the trees around them ablaze, it finally dawned on Cedric that they were very serious.

Even his teammates, who were fighting against the Bronze Giant Snake, were completely caught by surprise by this sudden change in the situation.

Rowan, on the other hand, simply sneered at the Giant Snake that was starting to show signs of fear due to its burning surroundings.

There was no solid proof that the Bronze Giant Snake was afraid of fire. But he noticed that it was starting to pay more attention to its surroundings and its attacks were not as intense as before.

Clearly, it was considering escaping the battlefield by burrowing into the ground. However, it was afraid of the Ancient Wendigo, so it was still holding on despite the heat that was starting to affect its senses.

The Bronze Giant Snake might be the Boss Monster of the Harrowing Desert, but it spent most of its time deep under the ground.

Most people didn't know that heat doesn't penetrate deep underground, allowing the Boss Monster to stay clear of the hot temperature.

Also, like most snakes, the Bronze Giant Snake was a nocturnal creature that preferred to hunt at night.

This was why it was starting to hesitate whether it should continue to fight or flee to safety.

While the Giant Snake was thinking of what to do, a silver dagger flew toward the Ancient Wendigo.

Even though the dagger was aimed at the Monster's blind spot and its speed wasn't bad, the Ancient Monster was still able to sense its presence, forcing it to step to its right side to dodge it.

However, just as the silver dagger was about to fly harmlessly past its chest, something unexpected happened.

Henry swapped places with his dagger and delivered a kick on the Monster's chest, sending it flying like a cannon.

The Head Prefect of the Dud Manor had the blood of a Giant flowing in his veins. So every time he unlocked the seal on his body, his physical capabilities would improve tremendously.

Right now, he had broken free from those shackles and was fighting at full strength.

The Ancient Wendigo screamed in pain as its body landed in the blazing inferno.

Due to the heat in its surroundings, it was unable to transform into its mist form which could've allowed it to escape by flying away.

Left with no choice, it tried to use short teleportation to break free from the flames.

However, as soon as it reappeared in a flame-free place, it found itself being impaled by a silver spear in its right leg.

"Rising Dragon Thrust!" Ethan roared as Illumina's power surged, completely obliterating the Ancient Wendigo's right leg.

The monster instantly lost its balance. But before its giant body could fall to the ground, it transformed into a black mist in an attempt to escape, but countless Moon Beams and Spears of Light tore through the mist like raindrops.

A blood-curdling screech reverberated inside the forest as the Wendigo reappeared several meters away from them.

It didn't expect to face such powerful young Wizards and Witches, who could exploit its weaknesses.

Although the red-haired Witch didn't have a Legacy, her control over the Fire Magic was very precise. Creating a forest fire not only limited the Wendigo's range of movements, but also prevented it from using its ability to phase in and out of battle while hurling Dark Magic at its enemies.

Also, its Mental Attacks weren't working against its enemies either, especially the angelic beauty, who possessed Moon Magic and had clearly been under its mercy earlier.

Luna was also giving it a hard time.

Moon Magic was very rare magic. Even though it wasn't one of the Ancient Wendigo's weaknesses, the power behind Luna's attacks was staggering, leaving the Monster unable to mount a counterattack.

Also, the Child of Light was bombarding it with Light Spears and Light Arrows from every direction.

In the beginning, he could easily counter these kinds of attacks, but the main problem was the blue-haired boy and the teenager who was wielding a silver dagger.

The two of them were not giving the Ancient Wendigo any breathing space, and all of their blows would send him flying, especially the one with the Giant's bloodline.

To make matters worse, the Dwarf would always use Earth Spikes, which would pierce the monster from the ground, repeatedly disrupting its concentration.

But that was the least of its worries.

The Elf would also unleash elemental arrows in its direction, and they were very fast and deadly, always aimed at its chest, where its heart was located.

The Black Panther, who seemed to emerge from the Ancient Wendigo's shadow, would also attack it in its blind spots with its razor-sharp claws.

Simply put, the Ancient Wendigo wanted to fight, but it was unable to because every time it tried to counterattack, it would get attacked instead.

The change on the battlefield was also not in its favor because its hiding and escape places were now limited.

Perhaps, knowing that it would lose if the battle continued in this manner, the Ancient Wendigo decided to go all out and roared.

A blizzard emerged out of nowhere, bringing the visibility down to zero.

Sizzling sounds could be heard in the surroundings as the snow transformed into water, dousing the flames that were burning around them.

However, even with the blizzard, the flames stayed strong and even prevented the storm from expanding.

This unbearable environment of snow and fire made it hard for everyone to continue fighting.

However, there was one person who was unaffected by it.

"Rising Dragon Strike!" Ethan roared as he jumped high up in the air and thrust his trident downwards.

Lily had taught him to fight even when his vision was obstructed, so he knew what to do in this kind of situation.

Also, he had two helpers inside his Sea of Consciousness, and both of them had very strong magical senses.

Even if the Ancient Wendigo tried to hide itself from his sight, it would not be able to escape his senses.

Ethan's silver spear pierced through the monster's chest, creating a gaping hole in its body.

Unfortunately, the Ancient Wendigo managed to shift its body at the last moment, preventing Ethan from dealing the killing blow to its icy heart that would have ended its life.

Even so, the monster received a serious injury, making it howl in pain.

Just as Ethan was about to launch a second attack that would end the monster's life, something unexpected happened.

The Wendigo, the blizzard, and everything around him disappeared.

The young man then found himself in a pitch-black world, facing a devilish looking man who seemed to be in his late thirties, with light-brown hair and green eyes.

A mischievous smile hung on his face as if he was in the midst of pranking someone.

"Greetings, young man," the middle-aged man gave Ethan a brief nod before crossing his arms over his chest. "The name is Fortis Dud, and I have appeared to ask you a question."

"Would you like to join the Order of Ouroboros?"
