Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 544: You Won’t Be Lucky Next Time

"I'll handle the Patriarch," Ethan stated as she tapped Nicole's shoulder. "You handle the rest."

The young man then stood up on Snowflake's back, and summoned his crystal-like Fairy Wings.

The Water Fairies, who were accompanying him, suddenly materialized out of thin air and took a fighting stance.

All of them had temporarily merged with Ethan's body, which was one of the abilities that he acquired from gaining Celestia's Legacy.

He was their Fairy Prince, and since their Prince was going to battle, they would definitely not back down and unleash the powers that Queen Celestia had imparted to them before they left the Legacy Domain.

Ethan could tell that Oscar Asta was strong.

He didn't know if the other party was as strong as Professor Barret, but he was certain that as the head of a military family, he had fought many battles in his prime.

However, for some reason, Ethan didn't feel that he would lose against the Patriarch in front of him.

If he hadn't acquired Queen Celestia's Legacy, then things might have been different. But now that he could summon thunderstorms anywhere and anytime, he stood a higher chance in fighting against strong opponents.

"Patriarch!" one of the Witches shouted. "Give the order! We will make sure that no traces are left behind after we're done with these two brats!"

They had cast a spell around their body, preventing the wind and rain from soaking their hair and clothes.

Most of them had done their research on Ethan and had a general understanding about his powers.

Even so, they didn't expect that he had reached a stage where he could conjure a storm on a whim.

But before Oscar could reply, a voice filled with amusement spread in the surroundings.

"This looks fun. Care if I join?"

An Old Man descended from the clouds, heading to them with a smile on his face.

His white hair and beard fluttered in the wind. However, even though it was raining hard, and the gusts of winds were blowing strongly, not a part of his body was wet.

"Headmaster." Nicole sighed in relief when she saw the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy come to their rescue.

"Rinehart," Oscar narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the academy and dealing with paperwork?"

Professor Rinehart chuckled and played with his beard. "The weather was so nice, so I decided to take a stroll."

"A stroll?" Oscar sneered. "You're hundreds of miles away from your academy, and you call it a stroll?"

"Yes?" Professor Rinehart smirked. "There is nowhere on this continent where I cannot take a stroll. But, that's not the point. You are going to play with my students, right? Come. Let me join in the fun.

It's been a while since I've been able to participate in any fun activities."

The Wizards and Witches of the Asta Family glared at the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy, but none of them made a move.

The man standing in front of them was a living legend and was hailed as the strongest Wizard in the Shire Continent.

Most people might be fooled into thinking that Rinehart was harmless due to his deceptive charisma that made him look like a very friendly person.

But people like Oscar and the Heads of the other Noble Families knew that this person was someone that they couldn't take lightly.

Some of them even believed that it would be better to antagonize the Grand Archmage of Eastshire, Lord Edmond, than fight against Rinehart Eques.

The Wizard who was able to cast a Complete Resonance, which could instantly annihilate an entire city in less than a minute.

The two sides faced off each other, but everyone knew that fighting now was pointless.

At least, that was what the others thought.

However, the man, whose hand had been turned into Charcoal, roared in anger and cast his strongest Dark Magic toward Ethan, who was hovering several meters away from the Ice Dragon.

"Die!"

A dark laser emerged from the tip of the Wizard's wand and flew toward Ethan's chest at great speeds.

But before it could even hit his body, a bony clawed hand emerged from the young man's chest, and blocked the dark laser completely.

When the attack receded, Ethan waved his hand, and the Wizard who attacked him found himself being mercilessly attacked by countless water needles, caming from the rain that was pouring hard around them.

Ethan then made a tugging motion, forcing the man to fly in his direction.

The Wizard, who had been paralyzed by Ethan's attack, suddenly felt a hand grip his neck, holding him in place.

It was the same hand that blocked the Dark Laser that he had unleashed a while ago, making his entire body shudder uncontrollably.

Nika and the rest of the water Fairies made a clockwise gesture with their hands, forming a Dome of Water around Ethan, hiding him from view.

A moment later, a blood-curdling scream reverberated in the surroundings as something crimson splattered on the innermost surface of the Water Dome, making those who were observing it from a distance turn grim.

A minute later, the Water Dome dispersed, but the Wizard who had attacked Ethan earlier was nowhere to be seen.

Dainsleif had eaten him completely, not letting even a single scrap escape its voracious appetite.

"Who's next?" Ethan asked, his eyes glowing faintly in a blue light.

He and the Asta Family had now gone beyond the point of no return, so he didn't mind if they settled things then and there.

"You won't be lucky next time," Oscar said before turning around.

"The same can be said to you," Ethan replied. "If you touch my Family, I will ensure that I will erase your Household from the face of this world."

"Big words, but can you do that?" Oscar asked as he glanced towards the young man behind him. "You have no idea who you are dealing with, boy."

"And you have no idea who you are dealing with either, Old Man," Ethan answered. "You know nothing about me, except that I'm an orphan. You don't know my true background."

"And do you know your true background?" the Witch who shouted at Ethan earlier sneered.

"No," Ethan replied with a sneer of his own. "But at the very least, I know enough to understand that if I wish for it to happen, the Asta Family will cease to exist. That plain-looking girl back in the Royal Palace told me so."

Oscar snorted before ordering his people to retreat alongside him.

He wasn't born yesterday, so he knew that Ethan was just bluffing.

However, he felt a killing intent that was as sharp as a blade piercing his body a while ago. He didn't know where it came from, but he was certain that it didn't come from Professor Rinehart or the two teenagers in front of him.

Although it only happened for a brief moment, Oscar felt that his heart had been pierced completely, making him grow wary of his surroundings.

This was also the reason why he decided to withdraw. There was an unknown threat that was currently watching this confrontation from a place where he couldn't sense.

When the members of the Asta Family had finally left completely, Professor Rinehart sighed and asked Ethan and Nicole to follow him toward the City where the Teleportation Gate was located.

A minute after they left, Seff appeared behind a tree and glanced once in the direction where Ethan was going before turning around.

He knew that something like this was going to happen, so he made sure to keep track of Ethan's movements.

Now that his daughter's Mate was finally in good hands, he could return to Southshire and deal with the aftermath of what happened inside Celestia's Legacy Domain.
