Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 581: All Is Fair In Love And War [Part 4]

Illumina's beautiful voice spread across the Colosseum, affecting not only Lyall but also those who were watching the battle.

Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret faintly smiled out of pleasant surprise, not expecting Ethan's Resonance to finally take form this soon.

While the song did have an effect on them, they had plenty of ways to counter the drowsiness that was assaulting them.

The two of them were even enjoying the lullaby of the Mermaid Princess because it had been a while since they had heard such a beautiful singing voice.

Professor Ophelia and Professor Nicola were able to stay awake since both of them also had ways to counter such magic.

However, they had to admit that fighting against Ethan while the Mermaid Princess was singing was going to be extremely hard unless the other side ended the battle quickly.

Contrary to the grown ups, Luna and Lilian were doing their best to keep their eyes open, but the beautiful melody was simply too much.

Not long after, the two dozed off while hugging Lily, who was pinching her own leg to keep herself awake.

Beastkins had incredibly sharp hearing, so this kind of attack affected them more than others. However, unlike her friends who were now asleep beside her, she was still awake, albeit barely.

Lilith, who was in her cat form, would bob her head from time to time as she, too, fought the effect of Ethan's Resonance.

Chloe and Nicole, who were also watching the battle, were also not faring very well. However, both of them held onto their consciousness and kept their eyes open.

The adults glanced at the teenagers who were still awake and nodded their heads in satisfaction.

It required strong willpower to overcome such powerful mental and spiritual attacks.

But the one who impressed them more was Alice.

The silver-haired beauty actually placed magical earplugs in her ears, preventing herself from hearing the Mermaid's singing.

As to where she got those earplugs and why she was carrying them, nobody really knew.

But the fact that she had it would allow her to see the battle from beginning to end.

"You're cheating," Lyall said with a smile, but her voice was no longer as mischievous as earlier.

"I'm not," Ethan replied as he approached the young lady while cracking his knuckles. "This is part of my power, so it's not cheating."

"I guess you're right," Lyall admitted before taking a step forward.

In the blink of an eye, she reappeared in front of Ethan, with her fists ready to strike.

But, Ethan was prepared. He met her attack, and their fists collided with each other, sending a small shockwave in their surroundings.

The young man could have evaded Lyall's blow because he was certain that his opponent could only run in a straight line due to the effect of Illumina's singing.

But he didn't do that. Wanting to test his physical strength without using his weapons, he met her blow with his own.

Lyall took a step back, but Ethan took three steps back after their blows met.

It was obvious that when it came to raw physical strength, the young lady was ahead of him.

If he were fighting ordinary Beastkins, they would have already been blown away by Ethan's punch. But, Lyall was built differently.

She was Seff's daughter, and she had inherited his bloodline.

If Wizards and Witches had Legacies, Beastkins had something similar, which was called Bloodline Inheritances.

They were able to inherit the strongest ability of their bloodline, and sometimes, they would even be born with more than one inheritance.

Seff came from a long line of Beast Kings who were known for their incredible strength and power.

If Wizards and Witches needed to look for a fortuitous encounter to acquire a Legacy, Beastkins only needed to understand the dormant powers within their body to awaken their Bloodline Inheritance.

Simply put, all Beastkins had their own Legacies already inside them. As to whether they would be able to awaken it was another matter entirely.

Lyall growled as she unleashed a flurry of blows at Ethan, which were fast but not impossible to dodge, block, or deflect.

Clearly, she was unable to use her full strength because she was being affected by Illumina's lullaby.

Seeing none of her blows land on her target, Lyall distanced herself from Ethan and did something that no one within the Colosseum expected her to do.

Lily's sister raised both of her hands and clapped them over her ears at the same time, making her stagger.

Soon, blood flowed from her ears as her eardrum ruptured, making Sebastian choke on his commentating.

"T-This girl is crazy!" Sebastian said in shock.

"Isn't that already a fact?" Ethan's Other Half commented, but there was a rare glint of appreciation in his eyes. What Lyall did was something he could respect.

He couldn't hate someone who was willing to put their everything on the line to win, even though he had a very bad impression of the girl whom he labelled as crazy.

"Hah~ That's much better!" Lyall said after everything around her turned silent. "Your singing will not affect me now."

Ethan, who was surprised by Lyall's action, shook his head helplessly. However, a faint smile was still on his face. It seemed that his opponent thought that not being able to hear Illumina's song would negate the effect of her singing.

Illumina continued to sing, but her eyes contained a hint of mischief. Although what Lyall did was correct, she had other ways to use the power of her singing voice.

"Thirteenth Verse," Illumina said softly. "Hunter's Mark."

Illumina sang once again, and this time, her song was solely directed at the young man standing in the arena.

Ethan could feel his strength rising by leaps and bounds and his senses becoming sharper than ever before.

Since Lyall thought that Illumina's song was the same, she didn't hesitate to charge at Ethan with a fearless grin on her face.

But to her surprise, Ethan also charged at her with a smile of his own.

The two once again exchange blows. However, this time, Lyall skidded a few metres away, while Ethan held his ground.

A look of disbelief appeared on her face, for it never crossed her mind that Ethan would overpower her using only his physical prowess.

She couldn't even see anything that could have potentially increased her opponent's strength in a short period of time, making her face turn solemn.

But in the end, she threw these thoughts aside and unleashed the power of her Bloodline Inheritance.

Using her clawed hands, Lyall made a slashing gesture in front of her, creating a Crimson Blade that flew in Ethan's direction.

But this Crimson Blade suddenly split into dozens of blades, all of which targeted Ethan as if they had a life on their own.
