Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 935: There Can Only Be One King Of The Sea [Part 1]

A few minutes before Ethan arrived at the battlefield…

Princess Wilhelmina helplessly watched her friend, Illumina, defend her Kingdom from the combined assault of the Ocean Races.

Opposite to Illumina, who specialized in offense, her specialty lay on defense.

As for Ariel, she was a healer and a very powerful one at that. She could even regenerate lost limbs with her miraculous power, making her one of the three Legendary Mermaid Princesses.

Just like everyone, Princess Wilhelmina initially thought that it would be a one-sided slaughter. However, the scene she expected didn't happen.

Illumina showed everyone that she wasn't a pushover as she faced everyone like a War Goddess.

Her stance made Princess Wilhelmina admire and respect her more than she already did.

But when King Oceanus proposed to challenge Illumina in a one-on-one battle, everyone already knew that she didn't have a chance of winning.

King Oceanus was a Colossi, and no matter how powerful Illumina was, she still fell short of the might of the King of the Sea.

After a few exchanges between the two, it was abundantly clear that King Oceanus had the upper hand. However, Illumina didn't back down and proved that she was powerful in her own right.

So when King Oceanus changed his position, forcing Illumina to face his attack head-on or risk destroying her Kingdom, Princess Wilhelmina subconsciously clenched her fist as she hoped that her close friend wouldn't get hurt in the exchange.

Just as she expected, Illumina didn't dodge the attack and faced it using her strongest attack.

But it was not enough.

Just as the Mermaid Princess was about to get hit by King Oceanus Golden Dragon, something unbelievable happened.

A young man suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sliced the Golden Dragon in half.

Everyone was too shocked to say anything, and the only thing they could do was stare in disbelief at the unexpected turn of events.

Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock, Illumina suddenly jumped into the young man's embrace and kissed him without holding back.

At that moment, Princess Wilhelmina remembered her friend's words.

"I already have a Promised One."

The Mermaid Princess knew how aloof Illumina was when it came to matters of love.

So the fact that she took the initiative to kiss this young man only proved one thing.

'He is her Promised One!' Princess Wilhelmina thought as she screamed internally.

As the Mermaid Princess was looking at this scene, Illumina finally pulled back as she looked at the young man in front of her.

"How?" Illumina asked. "Why are you here?"

"You didn't come," Ethan replied as he looked at her with an affectionate gaze. "So I came to find you."

The two stared at each other for nearly half a minute before they heard a light cough from a distance, which made them look at King Oceanus, who was looking at the two of them with amusement.

"Are you done?" King Oceanus asked.

"No," Ethan briefly replied before taking the initiative to pull Illumina close to him to give her another kiss.

Illumina didn't resist and once again kissed the man she loved, the sight of which made the corner of King Oceanus' lips twitch.

Just as the Colossi was thinking about what to do next, a scream filled with rage reverberated in the surroundings.

"Bastard!" Prince Baltic roared in anger. "Get your hands off her!"

Whether or not Ethan and Illumina heard his words, the pair didn't stop kissing each other, which made Prince Baltic raise his hand in anger.

"Kill him! Lord Oceanus!" Prince Baltic shouted. "Kill him!"

King Oceanus snorted as he pointed his trident at the two lovers. Even if the Naga Prince hadn't said anything, he had been just about to teach these two lovers to stop treating him as a joke.

His earlier attack was powerful, but the newcomer had dealt with it easily. Because of this, the Colossi decided to take this battle more seriously, or else, he would become a laughingstock among the Ocean Races.

Golden lightning gathered at the tip of his Trident, and this time, instead of just one Golden Dragon, three Golden Dragons rushed toward Ethan and Illumina, who were still busy kissing each other.

Sensing the power that was headed in their direction, Ethan finally pulled back and pointed his trident at the three Golden Dragons with a faint smile on his face.

Three beams of light, resembling Illumina's attack earlier, exploded from the tip of Ethan's Sea God's Trident.

These three beams collided with the Golden Dragons, resulting in a loud explosion.

The sea bed rose up, creating a dust cloud that blocked everyone's view.

King Oceanus made a slashing motion with his trident, dispersing the dust cloud and allowing everyone to see the aftermath of their exchange.

When the dust receded, those watching didn't know if they should be impressed or be annoyed because the Mermaid Princess and the young man had resumed kissing each other.

Neither of them looked hurt in the slightest, which made King Oceanus frown.

For the first time, the members of the Ocean Races finally felt that something was wrong.

"Who are you?" King Oceanus no longer attacked and asked the newcomer his name.

This time, Illumina pulled back before looking at the Colossi with a satisfied smile on her face.

"He's my man," Illumina replied. "But he goes by another name—the Tide Bringer."

"The Tide Bringer?" King Oceanus frowned.

He observed the handsome young man, who was looking back at him with a smile.

Suddenly, the Colossi, as well as the other Elders of the Ocean Races, gasped in shock.

"Long blue hair and blue eyes," the Manta King said softly. "But he's not Lleu. Is he perhaps his son?"

The older generation of the Ocean Races shared the same thoughts as the Manta King. Although they were certain that the teenage boy wasn't Lleu, the distinct features of the Tide Bringer could be seen in his appearance.

King Oceanus scoffed. "You're not the Tide Bringer. I know Lleu, and he has been missing for a very long time."

"Right," Ethan replied. "Because if he was here, you would not have had the courage to act like a big shot."

King Oceanus' body suddenly grew a few meters taller, towering over the teenage boy who was looking at him with disdain.

"I'll ask you one last time," King Oceanus asked as he pointed the tip of his Giant Trident at the annoying young man, who dared to challenge his dignity. "Who are you?"

Ethan didn't reply to the Colossi's question. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Illumina and kissed her forehead.

"Go back to the City Walls," Ethan said softly. "I'll handle the rest."

"Be careful," Illumina replied. "King Oceanus is still a Colossi."

"Don't worry." Ethan smiled. "With me here, he can't make any waves."

Illumina could hear the confidence in Ethan's tone, so she obeyed and swam back toward the city.

"You think you can go without my permission?" King Oceanus sneered.

The Colossi raised his hand, and two Giant Hands made up of water tried to grab Illumina as she retreated back to the city.

The Mermaid Princess didn't bat an eye and continued to swim, not bothering to dodge the attack that was headed in her direction.

Since Ethan was now here, she believed that she would no longer be in any danger.

Just as the two Giant Water Hands were about to grab the fleeing princess, they suddenly came to a complete stop.

It was as if they had hit some kind of invisible wall, preventing them from moving forward.

A moment later, the two Giant Hands shattered, dispersing to the sea floor.

"You've bullied my Promised One long enough," Ethan said as he held the Sea God's Trident in his hand. "Now, it's my turn to bully all of you."

"You're too arrogant!" Prince Baltic shouted. "Everyone, kill him!"

The Naga Army had been informed beforehand to prepare their long-distance attacks.

So the moment Prince Baltic gave the order, their Magic Cannons roared, sending their magical projectiles toward the teenage boy, who gazed at the Naga Prince with disdain.
