Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 774: Wouldn’t It Be Best If We Strike Them First Instead?

Somewhere in Midgard…

"Interesting," a devilish looking young man with blonde hair and blue eyes said with a smile. "Now, I understand why Arawn asked me to do this favor for him. It seems that he wanted to remain hiding in the shadows and deliberately didn't tell me everything."

The young man, who seemed to be in his early twenties, smirked before shifting his gaze on the two beautiful naked ladies lying on his bed.

Both of them were young ladies with extraordinary and strong magical powers, whom his subordinates had discovered during their travels in the lands of Midgard.

Knowing that their Leader was always looking for exceptional and powerful ladies, they were always on a lookout for one to offer as tribute in exchange for his blessings and powers.

The young man looked at the ladies' parted thighs, where a red stain mixed with his essence overflowed on the bedsheets.

He had just finished making them experience a world of pleasure while enjoying their delicious and powerful blood filled with ancient magic.

After linking with his subordinates who were currently in the Shire Continent, he discovered that their operation was prematurely thwarted.

Because of this, he decided to leave no other traces behind by killing all of them.

He had no problem doing this because they were just a few of the many members in his Cult.

The young man could always have more followers, so killing a little more than a hundred men wouldn't hurt his foundations.

Still, he felt hungry after crossing miles of land just to see what was happening in the Shire Continent.

So now, when he looked at these delicious morsels who were meant to give him what he needed, he smiled evilly.

The young man slowly lowered his head and sank his fangs onto one of the unconscious ladies' tender breasts, drawing blood from it.

Even in her sleep, the young lady was unable to stop herself from sighing in pleasure while the young man feasted on her blood.

Of course, he didn't plan to kill her.

That would be a waste of her god-given beauty and talents.

Besides, her blood was truly delicious, so he planned to keep her as part of his harem and indulge with her body and powerful blood from time to time.

After drinking to his fill, he laid down on the bed and pulled the two ladies closer to him, hugging them both in his hands.

"The Saintess, huh?" The young man licked his lips. "Looks like this is going to be one exciting hunt for me."

Back in the Shire Continent…

Ethan continued to look for the traces of the other members of the Blood Fangs in Eastshire for two more days.

However, when he discovered several human-shaped bloodstains in several locations, he knew that his worst fears had come to life.

'The Lizard has cut its tail,' Sebastian commented. 'I guess this is the end of the Raven killings—at least, for now.'

'Well, our enemy isn't a lizard,' Ethan's Other Half said. 'But it's just as annoying. Ethan, there is no point in continuing this search. It's best to return to the academy for now.'

Ethan nodded in agreement because he no longer had any leads to follow.

Fortunately, Dainsleif at least managed to eat Mason at the very last minute, allowing him to know who was responsible for this information gathering operation in Eastshire.

The Leader of the Blood Fangs didn't know that Ethan had managed to gather some critical information about him.

Since he already killed his subordinates, he thought that he had successfully rid all traces that could be connected to him. Unfortunately, he had underestimated the Ancient Wendigo's abilities.

Fortunately, when the Leader shared the senses of his subordinates, Dainsleif was simply doing an interrogation.

He didn't know that the Ancient Wendigo could extract information from the creatures it had eaten, bearing all of their secrets to it.

Even so, knowing the truth didn't make Ethan feel any better.

In fact, it made him feel more concerned. After all, a Demigod was targeting Hecate for the taboo that she had done.

'Rumors that she is a reincarnation of a powerful Sorceress that lived in ancient times,' Ethan thought. 'And the Leader of the Cult is interested in obtaining her powers and the secret of how she did it.'

'Until you have solid proof, it is best to not believe in such rumors,' Sebastian commented. 'So, why don't you ask Hecate when you return to the academy?'

'Wow! Just wow,' Ethan's Other Half clapped his hands. 'So, how will Ethan do it? Should he simply say 'Hey Hecate, are you reincarnated?''

'Well, that's Ethan's problem.' Sebastian shrugged. 'But what if she really was a powerful Sorceress in the past? Now that you mentioned it, the name Hecate reminds me of someone.'

'The Progenitor of Magic,' Ethan's Other Half replied. 'The first one who introduced magic to the world, sharing her knowledge, which paved the path for Wizards, Witches, Sorcerers, and other Mages to practice their craft.'

'I didn't know that our little Saintess is such a big shot.' Sebastian chuckled. 'Ethan, you better be good to her, okay? If you annoy her, she might just turn you into her hug pillow or something.'

Ethan's Other Half rubbed his chin before making his opinions known.

'Well, I can understand now why her Magic is wonky,' Ethan's Other Half said. 'If she really did reincarnate into the body of a Mortal, that is indeed a taboo thing. The heavens might be punishing her, making her capable of only using body enhancing spells.

'If she tried to use any other spells, she would end up summoning an Elemental instead, one that would attack her immediately. I guess the Heavens didn't want her to lord over mankind, so they stipped her of the ability to cast proper magic.'

'Weren't you the one who said rumors can't be trusted without proof?' Sebastian scratched his head. 'Now you're talking as if you're sure that Hecate is the reincarnation of the Progenitor of Magic.'

'You're right.' Ethan's Other Half admitted. 'I got too excited about the possibility. My bad.'

The two members of the peanut gallery then shifted their attention to Ethan, who seemed to be deep in thought.

'So, Ethan, what do you plan to do now?' Sebastian asked. 'Will you confront Hecate about it?'

'… I don't know,' Ethan replied. 'Everyone is entitled to their secrets. I have so many of them that I can't openly tell them to people whom I can't trust. Hecate might be in a similar situation as mine.

'But I will definitely inform her about the Blood Fangs and their plans to capture her. That way, she will be prepared for any unexpected threats that might endanger her life.'

'Or… we can do something else,' Ethan's Other Half said with a devilish smile on his face. 'Why wait for them to strike? Wouldn't it be best if we strike them first instead?'

Ethan and Sebastian looked at Ethan's Other Half as if he was crazy. But after thinking about it for half a minute, they changed their minds.

'This might sound crazy coming from me, but I think it's a good plan.' Sebastian crossed his arms over his chest. 'If we took the fight to them, they would not know what hit them.'

Ethan also felt that this was a very sound plan.

Now, he just needed to return to the academy, talk to Hecate and his lovers, and ask the Headmaster for permission to go on a short trip to Midgard.

After finalizing his plan, he returned to Brynhildr Academy to inform the Headmaster of what he discovered.

He also planned to ask Professor Rinehart to let him get some time off from school so that he could deal with the potential threat that endangered the safety of the students of their academy.
