Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 699: Surprise Welcome [Part 1]

As soon as Ethan descended from the flying ship, he saw a blur coming from the corner of his vision.

He quickly reacted, stepping to the side to dodge it, and succeeded in evading the figure.

However, the Werewolf kicked the air in front of it and used it as a platform to propel itself toward the teenage boy again, since the surprise attack didn't work.

This time, instead of dodging, Ethan punched forward with a fearless look on his face.

Beastmen were stronger than humans, so those who were watching thought that Ethan had made a mistake.

A Wizard wasn't meant to use his fists to fight against his opponent because they relied on their magic to beat their opponents.

However, Catherine, Wallace, and Enzo only smirked because they knew that Ethan wouldn't do something so foolish.

A heartbeat later, two fists collided with each other, followed by a cry of pain.

The Werewolf hurriedly took a few steps back in order to distance itself from Ethan, but before it could succeed, it saw the young man it attacked earlier appear in front of it with his fists ready to strike.

"W-Wait!" the Werewolf cried out, but Ethan ignored its words and unleashed a quick jab on its jaw and a straight punch to its chest, which sent the Werewolf flying several meters in the air.

Ethan watched as his opponent crashed on the ground and rolled a few times before coming to a complete stop.

Just as everyone thought that it was already over, six blurry figures charged at Ethan from three different directions.

Ethan remained calm and waited for the last second before stomping his foot on the ground.

His attackers, who were moving at incredible speeds, missed their targets. They looked around them, looking for where the teenage boy had gone.

"Above!"

A Leopardkin shouted when he noticed a shadow covering his body from above.

But when everyone looked up, they didn't see a single person.

They saw six Ethans, whose feet were about to descend on their heads.

This time, it was the Beastkins' turn to dodge, and they did it perfectly—at least, that was what they thought.

However, as they distanced themselves from Ethan, something fell above their heads, which made them frown.

A Wolfkin grabbed the playing card that had fallen on its head and frowned.

A second later, the card on its hand glowed, giving it a bad premonition.

A blinding light erupted at the scene as the cards imbued with Magna Lux Aeterna activated at the same time.

The Beastkins were momentarily blinded, but they were expert warriors, so they simply enhanced their sense of hearing to detect where their enemy was at.

Unfortunately for them, they weren't fighting just an ordinary warrior.

They were fighting a Wizard.

Shouts of pain and surprise reverberated in the surroundings as the Beastkins were electrocuted at the same time, caused by the playing cards that had surrounded them all.

Ethan's clones were capable of carrying playing cards imbued with Rune Magic and activating them at the same time.

He knew for a fact that the Beastkin was a very sturdy race, and taking them down wouldn't be easy.

So he did what would make fighting them easier, and that was by paralyzing them using electricity.

When the Beastkins were all in shock, Ethan smashed his fists and feet into their chests, sending them flying in every direction.

Seff, Wallace, and Enzo smiled faintly because Ethan's fighting style was smooth and didn't have any wasted movements.

From the moment he dodged and blinded his opponents, he didn't waste any time and neutralized them right away.

After that, he unleashed the finishing blow, which sent his opponents out of the way.

Raising his hand, Ethan summoned his spear Light Bringer and deflected the attack that was aimed at his blindspot.

Long pink hair fluttered in the breeze as a beautiful lady holding a rapier unleashed a flurry of blows at the teenage boy, who blocked, deflected, and dodged her attack with ease.

But as if using that opportunity to launch another sneak attack, a red blur charged at Ethan from behind.

Summoning his wand, and holding it with his left hand, Ethan cast a spell behind him.

"Protego!" Ethan chanted, creating a barrier behind him.

The sound of flesh hitting something hard reached his ears, but he didn't have time to turn his head to look behind him due to how fast, deadly, and unforgiving Nicole's blows were.

But what surprised Ethan's best friend was that the young man was holding his Silver Trident using only his right hand—normally, he wielded it with both hands when he fought.

Even so, Ethan had no problem deflecting her blows as if the trident in his hand was only as light as a feather.

"Not bad," Seff commented as he watched Nicole and Lyall fight against Ethan using only their Martial Skills, while the latter used his Magic and Martial skills at the same time.

Lily's mother, Leah, was watching this battle beside her daughter Lily, who was looking at the young man with an affectionate gaze.

"It seems that your Mate has improved a lot during the school break," Leah said.

"Yes," Lily replied. "Do you approve of him now, Mother?"

"Silly girl. I already approved of him when he defeated me in our duel back in Brynhildr Academy." Leah smiled bitterly. "Even so, I can't believe he managed to become this much stronger in just a few months. It seems that you lucked out when you chose him to be your lifelong partner."

Lily nodded. "I still can't believe that the young man who almost lost his life a year ago has become someone whom even father acknowledged.

"Back then, I was prepared to elope with him if needed. But now, I don't think that is necessary. Right, Mother?

Leah sighed. "You're right. That is no longer necessary. I'm just hoping that your father doesn't get carried away and join the figh—"

Before Lily's mother could even finish what she was going to say, Seth made his move and also attacked Ethan, who was already being besieged on two sides.

Ethan, who already had his hands full in fending off Nicole's and Lyall's attacks, ignored Seff and tanked the punch that was aimed at the side of his body.

The Beastkin punched normally, thinking that this would finally end the battle.

But to his surprise, a hand emerged from Ethan's body and blocked his punch.

An evil chuckle reverberated in the surroundings as Dainsleif joined the fray.

The Beast King smiled fearlessly as he exchanged blows with Ethan's Ancient Wendigo.

His fists had started to itch as he watched his son-in-law deal with the surprise welcome he had prepared for his arrival.

He thought that the warriors of his Clan would be able to subdue the young man easily if they worked together.

But contrary to his expectations, Ethan handled them quite easily. He even had the capacity to hold back on Nicole and Lyall, who were fighting him in close combat.

Seff knew that when Ethan fought, he would immediately summon his Sea God's Trident.

However, the weapon he was wielding right now was Lightbringer, which was a spear meant to fight against specters and unholy enemies.

This meant that Ethan still had enough leeway to fight against Nicole and Lyall. Knowing this, the Beast King wanted to exchange blows with him.

For that to happen, he needed to defeat the Ancient Wendigo in front of him first.

However, his opponent wasn't an easy monster to defeat, so Seff had no choice but to take his opponent a little more seriously than he originally intended.
