Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 939: Return Of The Prince [Part 1]

When Ethan and King Oceanus disappeared from the battlefield, unrest started to spread among the Armies who supported the Great Plan.

King Oceanus was a Colossi, and no one among the Ocean Races would dare to face him head-on.

Illumina was a different story. Because she was protecting her Kingdom, her actions were understandable.

However, someone whom they didn't even know single-handedly overpowered the Colossi, bringing everyone into a state of shock.

Princess Ariel could still feel her heart beating wildly inside her chest as she remembered the young man's fearless gaze as he sent King Oceanus flying into the Flagship of the Naga Prince.

The Ocean Races, just like most other races, respected the strong.

This was why she couldn't stop herself from looking at the city walls of the Kingdom of Saphirus and staring at Illumina, who had taken the initiative to kiss the young man when he first appeared.

"Illumina, is he the reason you rejected all the marriage proposals that were sent to you from the Princes of the other kingdoms?" Princess Ariel asked.

"That's right," Illumina replied. "He is my Promised One."

"And his name?" Princess Ariel asked.

She just wanted to know the name of the young man who made her heart skip a beat.

King Oceanus had asked for his name a few times earlier, but the young man only answered the Colossi when he had entered the Twilight Domain.

The only thing that everyone knew about him was that he was the Tide Bringer, which was once the title of the son of Queen Celestia and King Arariel.

"His name is Ethan," Illumina replied.

"Ethan…" Princess Wilhelmina, who was listening to the side, muttered.

Illumina had always said that her Promised One wasn't an ordinary person. And now that she had seen him in the flesh, Princess Wilhelmina finally understood why her friend was smitten with him.

'If I had met someone like him, perhaps…' Princess Wilhelmina, who suddenly thought of such things, immediately felt her cheeks burning due to embarrassment.

She didn't have any thoughts of stealing Illumina's Promised One. But for some reason, she remembered the talks they had several days ago, which made her face turn beet red. Continue reading at m|v-l'e-NovelFire

"He's the man I chose. That's my territory. You're not allowed to touch him." Illumina smiled with confidence. "Also, since we're friends, I will tell you this. Despite the fact that you specialize in defense, Ethan can penetrate you without fail."

Princess Wilhelmina blinked once then twice before tilting her head.

For some reason, she felt that there was something wrong with her friend's statement.

"… He can penetrate my defenses?" Princess Wilhelmina asked.

"Yes," Illumina answered. "He can penetrate you."

"Why do you make it sound so dirty?"

"That's just you being green-minded."

———

Perhaps noticing that Princess Wilhelmina's face had turned red, Illumina couldn't help but observe her friend from a distance.

A moment later, a smile of understanding appeared on the Mermaid Princess' lips.

"Wilhelmina, don't worry," Illumina said with a smile. "I won't let Ethan penetrate you."

The members of the Ocean Races didn't understand her comment right away, but after a few seconds, an uproar spread throughout the ranks of the army as they gazed at the Red-Scaled Mermaid Princess in disbelief.

"S-Shut up!" Princess Wilhelmina was startled when she sensed the countless gazes looking in her direction. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Even if she died, she wouldn't admit to anything that Illumina was saying!

A giggle escaped Illumina's lips as she watched her friend's face turn a shade redder.

Suddenly, Prince Baltic's voice spread in the surroundings.

"Hmph! Do you think that bastard can defeat King Oceanus?!" Prince Baltic stated. "While I admit that he might be able to fight him to a certain extent, his Excellency still hadn't used his full power! Also, now that he's gone, who's gonna save you from us?!"

Prince Baltic, raised his hand to command his troops to get ready for war. He felt humiliated a while ago because his Flagship was destroyed, so he wanted to regain his standing by ordering his people to attack.

"While King Oceanus is dealing with that bastard, let's finish what we came for!" Prince Baltic declared. "We'll offer the Kingdom of Saphirus to King Oceanus on a silver platter when he returns. Sound the War Drums! Blow the War Horns!"

After hearing Prince Baltic's declaration, the members of the War Council snapped out of their daze and prepared for war.

They never thought, even for a second, that King Oceanus would lose to anyone. With this in mind, they agreed to attack the Kingdom of Saphirus while waiting for his return.

Soon, the sounds of battle spread in the battlefield, boosting the morale of the Ocean Races.

Countless Soldiers from the different factions charged toward the City Walls. This kind of defense was useless to them because they could simply swim over it.

Prince Baltic sneered as he pointed at the Kingdom of Saphirus with a distorted expression.

"Release the Kraken!"

From behind the Naga Army's formation, a giant sea monster with eight tentacles appeared, making its way toward the city with a deadly glint in its monstrous eyes.

Illumina's face turned solemn as the Armies of the War Council surged forth like a black tide of death.

She was about to burn her life force in order to deal with them all. But just as she was about to do that, she heard a familiar voice that spoke directly to her mind.

"I'll handle this."

As soon as she heard that voice, she regained her calm and no longer made her move. She also gave a signal to her people to not do anything, which caught them all by surprise.

However, since their War Princess wasn't doing anything, they believed that she had a plan in mind.

Just as the Ocean Races' Armies were about to breach the City Walls, a powerful voice reverberated in the battlefield.

"Release the Krakens!"

Above the Kingdom of Saphirus, a ripple of power spread forth.

Suddenly, a black abyss appeared, and from within it, a colossal creature with eight giant tentacles emerged.

However, after the first Kraken made its appearance, another Kraken emerged from the Abyss, followed by another.

Soon, six colossal monsters roared at the same time, making the Soldiers at the front of the formation feel as if their souls had left their bodies.

The Kraken that belonged to the Naga Prince's Army looked at the opposing Krakens, who were twice its body size, in fright.

The biggest among the Krakens gazed at the smaller Kraken as if asking it, "Child, whose side are you on?"

The smaller Kraken's body trembled after being gazed upon its Elder.

Immediately, it lashed its tentacles out towards the Armies around it, catching them by surprise.

The Elder Kraken nodded its massive head in satisfaction as it, too, charged at the soldiers like an unstoppable Juggernaut, devouring everything that crossed its path.

The other Krakens weren't idle either, and soon, screams of fear, frustration, and despair spread across the battlefield.

"Princess Wilhelmina, Princess Ariel, what are you doing?!" Prince Baltic shouted. "Don't just stand there. Help us fight!"

As if proving that he didn't plan on staying behind, Prince Baltic personally led his Elite Bodyguards to join the battle against the Krakens.

Princess Wilhelmina frowned, but since her own soldiers were also fighting against the Kraken, she had no choice but to join the fray.

As she swam towards her target, her entire body was suddenly covered by a red armor made from her own mermaid scales.

The Mermaid Princess then raised her hand, and a Circular Shield with razor-sharp edges appeared in front of her.

She clashed against the Kraken that belonged to the Naga Princes' army.

Although she was confident in her defenses, she still hoped with every fiber of her being that Illumina's Promised One wouldn't suddenly appear out of nowhere.

The words of her friend once again echoed inside her head, which made Princess Wilhelmina feel anxious. Illumina had sounded confident when she said that Ethan could penetrate her defenses and make her feel pain, which she had not felt for the past hundreds of years.
