Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 839: Thrice Blessed Unleashed [Part 2]

Lady Hecate was expecting that Ethan would despair as he forced him to make a decision.

But, instead of seeing despair, what she saw was the young man's determination to stab her with the spear, Areadbhair, whose radiant flames made her skin tingle.

With a simple thought, Lady Hecate teleported dozens of meters away from where she was standing earlier.

Lady Hecate sneered. "Nice try, but you're still too gree—."

But, she was unable to finish whatever she was going to say because the spells that she thought she had evaded swerved in her direction, surrounding her from all sides.

With a grunt of annoyance, the Progenitor of Magic snapped her fingers, creating a barrier that protected her from the spells that bombarded her without mercy.

The barrier held true, and endured the rain of spells from all of the Fairies, who started to curse and call her names like Old Hag and Super Late Bloomer.

However, just as Lady Hecate thought that it was her turn to counterattack, she heard a cracking sound which made her eyes widen in shock.

Her barrier, which she believed could easily handle the surprise attack launched by Ethan, started to have cracks in it.

"Finest yew of the wood,

Let your flames hold true to your oath.

Blaze across the seven hells,

and Illuminate this forsaken world with your radiance."

Ethan's roar made Lady Hecate's barrier shudder as the cracks that covered its surface expanded like spiderwebs, threatening to shatter at any moment.

"Areadbhair!" Ethan roared as he threw his flaming spear with all the strength he could muster.

Before the Progenitor could even react, her shield shattered as if it was made of glass.

Her first thought was to teleport away, but a silver chain grabbed hold of her leg, preventing her from escaping.

At the last second, she forcefully moved her head to the side, as the flaming spear brushed past her cheek, leaving behind a small scratch on her beautiful face.

But, she didn't have time to dwell on something so trivial as she summoned her staff and smashed the silver chain that bound her leg, destroying it completely.

"You!" Lady Hecate shouted as she pointed her finger at Ethan, but the young man wouldn't have any of it.

This time, he was holding the Sea God's Trident in his hand and, hovering on its tips, a concentrated orb of water and lightning sparkled with deadly might.

"You asked for it!" Ethan shouted back as he thrust his spear forward, attacking the Progenitor of Magic with a railgun of concentrated lightning water that could easily cut a diamond in half.

Lady Hecate no longer hesitated and unleashed a silver beam of light from the tip of her wand, which collided with Ethan's attack.

A powerful explosion took place that made the Celestial Domain tremble.

Even now, the Progenitor of Magic couldn't believe that Ethan would dare to attack her.

She, who was more powerful than him, and had lived for thousands of years, was being attacked by a young man, who wasn't even twenty years old.

"It seems that you don't want to save either Ramona or that girl Nicole," Lady Hecate said coldly. "I gave you a chance, and you threw it away."

"Are you talking about this?" Ethan asked as he opened his palm, where a blue orb of light shone brightly.

Lady Hecate almost choked after seeing the princess' soul in Ethan's hand. She didn't need to confirm whether it was fake or not because she instinctively knew that the soul in the young man's hand was definitely Princess Ramona's soul.

"How?" Lady Hecate asked.

"I'm not telling you anything," Ethan sneered as he safely stored the Princess' Soul inside Morrigan's Ring.

Before he left Mimir's Domain, the Giant passed along several important pieces of information, allowing him to come up with a plan in order to save both Hecate and Nicole.

What the gentle and wise Giant told him was one of the functions of his ring, which he didn't know in the past.

It could store souls, as well as those who were trapped within spells like petrification.

Since Nicole was in a similar state, he was able to store her inside his ring as well, saving both of them from the Progenitor's grasp.

Seeing that the young man had one-upped her, the Progenitor of Magic decided to punish Ethan, and make him understand the folly of angering someone like her.

"Foolish child, I'll make you regret it," Lady Hecate said icily as she raised her wand with the intention of destroying Ethan's Domain.

"Really?" a tone filled with amusement replied. "Let's see about that."

Countless water beams rained down on the Progenitor of Magic, forcing her to teleport consecutively in order to evade them.

Ethan glanced at the Celestial Fairy, who was hovering in the center of the moon of the Celestial Domain, and looking down at the Progenitor of Magic with contempt.

"Celestia…" Lady Hecate muttered when she saw who had decided to intervene in her battle with Ethan.

"The one and only," Celestia replied as she pointed her finger at the Progenitor while countless orbs of water circled around her body like constellations.

"Celestial Break."

The moment the Water Fairy Queen uttered those two words, the Celestial Domain pulsed with power, dispelling anything that the Progenitor of Magic had tried to cast to block Celestia's attack.

Gritting her teeth in anger and frustration, Lady Hecate focused on teleporting consecutively in order to evade the bombardment from a being, who was nearly as powerful as her.

"Wanting to break my Domain?" Celesteia sneered. "As if that's going to be easy!"

Ethan had asked for her help, and she answered to his sincere pleading to help save the people who were important to him.

Naturally, Celestia didn't hesitate to extend her hand because, for her, Ethan was the symbol of the continuation of her son's legacy.

How could she possibly ignore her bloodline's earnest call for help?

But, just as the Progenitor of Magic thought that things couldn't get any worse, a Hydra, and a man with a snake coiled around his body, joined hands with Celestia to attack Lady Hecate, who was unable to gather her magic because the ruler of the Celestial Domain, forbid her from doing so.

If Lady Hecate was in her peak condition, she could have done something to overcome her current situation.

However, the war in the Lands of Saraqael had just ended.

Although they had won, some of the Progenitors, like Hecate, had been injured. For beings of their level, such injuries took time to heal so, right now, she was fighting using only seventy-percent of her full power.

With Celestia using the laws of the World to prevent her from casting powerful spells, Lady Hecate's fighting ability dropped lower, making it so even the weaker Water Fairy Queen had the power to put pressure on her.

But that all changed when Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half joined the fray, pushing the Progenitor of Magic into a corner.

Bombarded from all sides, Lady Hecate decided that enough was enough, deciding to go all out without caring about the consequences.

Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one that was going all out.

The moment she scanned her surroundings to look for Ethan, so that she could deal him a finishing blow, she saw something that made her skin crawl.

At the very edge of the horizon, the young man stood with eight pairs of wings fluttering behind his back.

Half of them were black, while the other half was white.

Countless white cracks could be seen in his body, as if he would shatter at any moment.

Even so, with his gaze, filled with determination, he held the Sea God's Trident in his hand, and made it transform into a Blue Serpentine Dragon that was hundreds of meters long.

"You Progenitors think that the lives of mortals are just passing leaves that are blown away by the wind," Ethan said icily. "Short lives that are similar to fireworks, who bloom for a brief moment before disappearing completely."

The Serpentine Dragon locked on the Progenitor of Magic and unleashed a mighty roar that made Hecate's heart shudder because the Might that Ethan was radiating was composed of three blessings that came from beings who were not the least bit inferior to her.

"Ramona did nothing wrong," Ethan said as he pulled back his arm as if he was about to throw something. "Nicole did nothing wrong, and of course, you think that you did nothing wrong as well. I am thankful that you helped Ramona, but there should be a limit to your arrogance."

Ethan's power exploded as the Serpentine Dragon opened its mouth, preparing to unleash a breath attack.

Ethan burned his life force to make sure that even a Progenitor like Hecate wouldn't be able to escape it unscathed, using the power in his body, blood, and soul, merging with the blessings of his three Patrons, who was giving him their support from beyond the boundaries of his Celestial Realm.

"Pierce the world," Ethan said and all the sounds in the world disappeared, allowing only his voice to ring true.

"Descensus Dei Aequor."

A second later, the Serpentine Dragon unleashed an attack that was equivalent to the full might of the Progenitor of the sea, Leviathan.

This attack made Lady Hecate's face turn pale as she used everything in her power to survive the attack that came from the mortal, whom she had decided to toy with to relieve her boredom nearly half an hour ago.
