Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 926: The Great Plan

When his Resonance finally faded, Ethan continued swimming in the direction they were headed.

However, he had been swimming for hours and eventually got tired, so he decided to summon an artifact that he had bought with his Merit Points from the Treasury of the Academy.

This magical artifact, when activated, transforms into a carriage that could move underwater.

It was very spacious and was as big as Ethan's room in the Dud Manor, allowing him some benefits like having a bed, a dining area, and a bathroom, all in one package.

The only downside was that this carriage could only be summoned underwater, and never on land.

The carriage didn't have wheels, but floated like a jellyfish.

Unlike the land carriages that didn't need creatures to pull it along, the underwater carriage did. Without them, the carriage would remain in place even if it didn't possess an anchor.

Ethan placed the Sea God's Trident beside him on the bed, using its power to intimidate powerful sea monsters that might attack the carriage while Ethan was sleeping.

'Just rest,' Sebastian stated. 'I'll guard you without fail.'

Sebastian's gem was embedded in the Sea God's Trident, making it his home.

The Guardian of the City of Zentris might not be strong in the land, but in the sea, he was able to unleash his might.

While Ethan slept inside the floating carriage, a certain Mermaid Princess was frowning as she looked at the Nagas that surrounded her.

"I am just passing through, why must you all do this?" Illumina asked calmly.

"You already know why," A Naga, who was at least three-meters tall replied. "Princess Ariel has decreed that you are not allowed to join the meeting of the Ocean Races. You are not welcome here!"

"Our Kingdom of Saphirus is also one of the Great Underwater Kingdoms," Illumina said in an icy tone. "Almost all the Underwater Kingdoms in Lemuria were invited to this meeting, so why are we not allowed to join it? Are you all perhaps founding a war council for the sake of conquering the Kingdoms that doesn't support your cause to enslave the surface dwellers?"

The Naga sneered. "Go back, Princess Illumina. The fact that we are not attacking you right now proves that we're still giving your kingdom some respect. If you force us, you will regret it!"

Illumina glared at the Naga looking back at her with an arrogant sneer on its reptilian face.

Behind the Naga was a Finfolk who had imitated Illumina's appearance and made faces at her.

The Crabmen and the Squidmen were also eyeing her with hostility.

Illumina knew that if she were to force her way in, things would only become difficult for her.

Just as she was thinking of what to do, a mermaid swam in their direction and looked at her with contempt.

"Oh, what do we have here?" a beautiful mermaid with long blonde hair and green eyes looked at Illumina in disdain. "Looks like the Princess of Saphirus is causing trouble."

"Lady Attina, can you talk some sense into her?" the Naga asked respectfully. "This Princess still thinks that the Kingdom of Saphirus still has the strength to oppose the Great Plan."

"Oh, dear." Attina pressed her palm on her forehead, acting coy. "Illumina, can you just go back to your aging kingdom? If only you and your Father had agreed to the Great Plan, then your lost Kingdom would have regained its former glory."

"Regain its former glory?" Illumina sneered. "Even if Saphirus has fallen from grace, we won't fall so low as to attack the surface dwellers. All of you are just courting death."

"Hahaha!" Attina laughed. "Are you saying we are courting death? No, my dear. It is you who are courting death. The time when all the Underwater Kingdoms worked hand in hand disappeared the moment Atlantis vanished.

"His Majesty, Arariel, and Her Majesty, Queen Celestia, are now buried in the pages of history. They no longer exist, and even if they did, they no longer have the power to surpass Lord Oceanus.

"Accept it, Illumina. The time of Atlantis is over. The Rise of the Merfolk is at hand. Those who refuse to bow to the Great Plan are our enemy. So if I were you, I'd go back to your decapitated kingdom and wash your neck.

"But since you are still one of the three Legendary Mermaid Princesses, if you marry the Prince of Nagas, you might just save your precious kingdom from complete destruction. Isn't that right, boys?"

The Nagas all roared in laughter as they all eyed Illumina with devilish smiles on their faces.

Illumina scoffed before swimming away.

'If only Ariel hadn't gotten a hold on the Cauldron of the Dagda, then none of this would have happened,' Illummina thought.

She was very worried because their Kingdom was the only Underwater Kingdom that refused the Great Plan to declare war on the surface dwellers.

'They might really attack us after their war council is over,' Illumina thought. 'I better report this to His Majesty as fast as possible.'

Princess Attina, the sister of Princess Ariel, looked at Illumina in disdain.

The Mermaid Princess used to be treated as the Holy Princess of their people, and her prestige and influence was known to most Underwater Kingdoms.

Because of this, Illumina had many suitors and admirers.

However, she rejected all of their advances and kept on saying that she had already been promised to someone else.

Many believed that she was just making this up in order to avoid any political marriages.

Illumina's Father, King Bertram, doted on his daughter very much and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

The two of them and the people of their Kingdom opposed the Great Plan.

But their opposition was met with disdain and contempt.

Because of this, the majority of the Underwater Kingdom wished to make them an example. To show the other Factions in the sea that all who opposed their plan only had one ending.

Complete and utter destruction.

With this threat looming above her head, Illumina returned to the Kingdom of Saphirus to warn her father and her people about the war that just might come knocking on their door.
