Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 907: Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Chloe's cheeks were beet-red as she used her clenched fists to lightly pound Ethan's chest.

The sun had just risen, and the two of them were still lying on the bed.

Since both of them had slept fairly early last night, Ethan wasn't able to tell Chloe everything he needed to tell her.

Since Samantha had now become his lover, he found the need to inform Chloe about it.

However, while the young man was telling her his story, his mischievous hand started to give her backside a light squeeze, which made Chloe's face turn beet red.

"You pervert," Chloe said before burying her head on Ethan's chest, making the young man chuckle.

"You were too tired, and too weak last night, so I held back," Ethan replied. "Since you are properly rested now, how about we…"

"Mmm. Chu.."

Ethan didn't even finish whatever he was going to say because Chloe took the initiative to kiss him.

One thing led to another, and before long, the young lady's sweet sighs echoed inside Ethan's room.

Although they still couldn't go all the way due to various reasons, the two of them had already found a workaround that could satisfy both of them.

Two hours later, Ethan and Chloe were content as they cuddled together.

"I love you," Chloe said as she basked in the afterglow of Ethan's love for her.

"I love you, too," Ethan replied, kissing her lips for the umpteenth time.

"I will not be leaving the academy anytime soon, since I need to focus on my spell casting training with my Master," Chloe said in a serious tone. "You also stay out of trouble, and pay close attention to Nicole's condition. A Fallen Angel, especially someone as strong as Baradiel, is an unpredictable variable.

"She is like a calamity and, usually, no one can control them. If Nicole is unable to master her Legacy, there is a chance that Baradiel will take over her body. So, make sure to check on her regularly."

Ethan nodded. "I know."

"About the Progenitor of Magic, Hecate, I didn't meet her in my travels," Chloe stated. "So, I don't think that she targeted me or anything."

"That's good to hear." Ethan lightly patted Chloe's head. "As long as all of you are safe."

"Ethan, at most, we will only have half a year of peace from now," Chloe said. "I've been to one of the Firbolgs' Temples, and the Shaman there told me that dark times are coming in half a year.

"During that time, I'll train, so that I will be able to utilize my bloodline magic to its fullest. As for you, try to make contact with Illumina. The sooner we meet her, the better. As long as we gather the four treasures, we will be ready for what is to come."

"Understood." Ethan nodded. "Is there anything else that you want to tell me?"

"There is one more thing I want to tell you."

"And that is?"

Chloe cupped Ethan's face and looked him straight in the eye.

"After everything is over, and we survive, let's get married," Chloe said before shaking her head. "I mean, everyone should get married if we survive the second coming of Ragnarok."

"Will that happen half a year from now?" Ethan asked solemnly.

"No." Chloe shook her head. "What will happen half a year from now is only the beginning. Are you familiar with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"

Ethan nodded. "I heard about them in passing."

Chloe smiled faintly. "Four horsemen of the Apocalypse, Conquest, War, Famine, and Death. These four laughed at the folly of Humanity, and watched mankind take its final breath.

"The First Rider feeds desperate places, His white coat brings false hope. For him peace has two faces, Strife that ends hanging on a bloody rope."

The young lady sighed as she hugged Ethan tighter. It was as if she was seeking safety from his warmth.

"In half a year, we will be facing that first Horseman," Chloe explained. "And they will come. All the way from the Shores of Midgard."

The young man didn't say anything at first. But, suddenly his eyes widened in shock after he came to a realization.

"Wait, that's it!" Ethan exclaimed. "Why didn't I think of that?!"

"Umm?" Chloe looked at the young man in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"They will come all the way from the shores of Midgard," Ethan said with a smile. "Since that is the case, they will be traveling to us from the sea. Why should we wait for them to make landfall, when we can eliminate them at the sea?"

Chloe blinked once then twice before she finally realized what Ethan was hinting at.

"You're right!" Chloe exclaimed. "Although not all of them will travel by sea, the majority of them will."

Since they would be traveling through the sea, where Ethan had complete dominion, why should he wait for them to make landfall?

Wasn't that a stupid thing to do?

They said that an ounce of prevention was better than a pound of cure.

If he could eliminate them before they reached the Shire Continent then wouldn't their threat disappear instantly?

"All we need to know is when they will start their journey," Ethan said in a serious tone. "As long as I get that information, I can handle the rest."

'That's a good idea!' Sebastian commented. 'While you're at it, we can also look for Illumina in the Sea between Midgard and the Shire Continent.'

'Killing two birds with one stone.' Ethan's Other Half nodded. 'Not bad. Also, if we can get the help of the Mermaids, they will also be a very powerful force that can help repel the Fomorian Army at sea.'

'Yes, since they are loyal to the Tidebringer, they will definitely help our cause,' Sebastian added. 'But, there's just one problem. That means that you need to travel away from the academy again.'

"…"

Due to his excitement, Ethan had forgotten that in order to start his plan into motion, he would have to travel again, which made him groan internally.

That meant that he would have to part ways with his lovers again, but he couldn't deny the importance of meeting Illumina as soon as possible.

'First things first,' Ethan thought. 'I need to meet with Samantha's and Lilian's parents.'

He would be meeting with Samantha's Family over the weekend. As for Lilian's family… she still hadn't gotten a reply.

However, the young lady told him that even if they didn't get a reply, she would accompany him back to her home, so that Ethan could at least talk to her mother and grandfather.

Once all of that was settled, Ethan would once again embark on a journey, and this time, he would travel to find Illumina, and formally reunite with her after hundreds of years.
