Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 966: The Prince Of The Tides [Part 1]

As Illumina led the charge against the Fomorian Armies, the Four Chieftains briefly exchanged glances with each other and made their move.

Instead of fighting Illumina head-on, they all charged at Ethan with the intention of taking him down first.

The Black-Haired Man and the Purple-Haired Lady cast a spell on the One-Eyed Giant and the Two-Horned Giant, allowing them to run across the water as if they were on land.

The four of them were the strongest fighters of the Fomorian Army, which was why they were chosen as the leaders.

Illumina, who saw this, was about to help Ethan when the young man told her telepathically that he could handle everything just fine.

The Kraken, whom the Prince of Atlantis was standing on, unfurled its tentacles and swung them at the approaching Chieftains.

The Two-Horned Giant didn't dodge and met the tentacle with a slash of a sword, slicing it in half. The Kraken's blood started dyeing the sea.

The Black-Haired Man and the Purple-Haired Lady respectively cast Wind and Fire Crescent Blades, cutting the Tentacles that were headed in their direction.

Only the One-Eyed Giant was sent flying by the Kraken, making the former cough a mouthful of blood.

Still, the Kraken found itself hard pressed against its foes, who were all aiming to attack the young man on its head.

"Dive down to recover your injuries," Ethan ordered. "I'll handle them."

Ethan jumped off from the Kraken's head and landed on the surface of the water.

A wave rose up to meet him, raising him up as he charged at the Two-Horned Giant

With a hate-filled roar, the Two-Horned Giant swung its sword toward the young man, who didn't even bother to dodge this powerful blow from the enemy.

Suddenly, another wave rose up between Ethan and the Giant. This time, the one standing on it was Princess Wilhelmina.

Her gaze was filled with battle intent as she raised her shield to block the sword strike.

A metallic ring reverberated in the surroundings as sword and shield collided. Sparks flew from the impact of the blow, but Princess Wilhelmina shrugged it off as if it wasn't a big deal.

The Two-Horned Giant looked at the Mermaid Princess in disbelief. That was his full-powered strike. It was understandable that it was successfully blocked, but the defender should've still sustained some kind of damage from the impact.

No matter how he looked at it, Princess Wilhelmina looked perfectly fine and seemed to be even more determined to fight against the Two-Horned Giant, whose momentum had been lost after his attack was repelled.

As if not wanting to be left out by the two other Mermaid Princesses, a song spread throughout the battlefield.

Princess Ariel's song revitalized the members of the Ocean Races, allowing them to recover from their fatigue and healing their minor injuries.

With Illumina as the attacker, Princess Wilhelmina as the Defender, and Princess Ariel as the support, they were nearly unstoppable in the battlefield.

This was why they were hailed as the three Legendary Mermaid Princesses. The moment they appeared on the battlefield together, the morale of the Ocean Races rose to an unprecedented level.

Ethan gave Princes Wilhelmina a brief nod as he rushed past her, aiming for the One-Eyed Giant, who had once again joined the fray.

"Sea God's Might!" Ethan activated King Oceanus' Legacy, making his body glow faintly as his strength drastically increased in the blink of an eye.

The One-Eyed Giant, who was humiliated from the earlier mishap against the Kraken, swung his club toward the young man with a blood-shot gaze.

Ethan sneered as he, too, raised his Trident to strike the One-Eyed Giant.

Everyone who was paying close attention to this clash between the two Powerhouses couldn't help but gasp in shock at the outcome of their exchange.

The club that the One-Eyed Giant wielded was blown out of his hand due to the force of Ethan's blow.

His body even staggered, taking five steps backward in order to mitigate the power behind Ethan's attack.

"Careful!" the Purple-Haired Lady shouted as she lashed her whip toward the One-Eyed Giant, wrapping itself around the latter's arm, and gave a strong tug to pull him back.

Before the One-Eyed Giant could even react, a bloody hole appeared on his shoulder, as Ethan thrusted his spear forward, originally aiming for the One-Eyed Giant's chest.

If the Purple-Haired Lady hadn't done anything, the One-Eyed Giant might have died due to that single strike that was meant to kill.

A look of disappointment appeared on Ethan's face, but it vanished a few seconds later.

He had no time to dwell on such matters because the Black-Haired Man had already appeared behind his back and swung his sword to slice the young man's head off from his body.

Unfortunately, Ethan wasn't fighting alone.

Sebastian and his Other Half were paying close attention to his surroundings, making sure that he didn't have any blindspots.

With a timely reminder from Sebastian to crouch, Ethan lowered his body, and evaded the attack that was meant to take his life.

A moment later, the young man unleashed a backhand blow, hitting the side of the Black-Haired Man's body, sending the latter flying backward.

The Purple-Haired Lady was about to use this opportunity to attack Ethan, but a barrage of water beams prevented her from doing so.

Illumina, who had massacred hundreds of Fomorians, had returned to her lover's side to make sure that their enemies wouldn't be able to hurt him.

High in the sky, King Arawn was watching Ethan with great interest.

"What can you tell me about that young man?" King Arawn asked Godfrey, who was standing beside him.

"He's a very annoying enemy," Godfrey answered in a heartbeat.

"Aside from that?"

"I'm more good-looking than him."

King Arawn didn't know if he should laugh or cry because that wasn't the question he was asking the Vampire Lord.

"From my point of view, he's more handsome than you," King Arawn coughed lightly as if to get back to the Vampire Lord for not answering him properly. "Also, how is he able to command the Ocean Races? Do you know why?"

Godfrey shrugged. "How should I know? I've only met him once, and during our brief time together, I was unaware that he had this kind of influence over the Ocean Races."

"If the Four Chieftains can't beat him, the Fomorians will lose this battle," King Arawn stated.

"Indeed." Godfrey nodded in agreement. "While the Fomorians number in the hundreds of thousands, they can't possibly fight against the Ocean Races' army that number in the millions. Although the Fomorians are stronger and wouldn't lose against such numbers, they are at a geographical disadvantage."

"Right." King Arawn agreed. "If they were fighting on land, they might still have a chance to win. But in the sea… they're just asking to be killed."

Although the Fomorians on the Flying Ships were supporting their army using projectile and magical attacks, the members of the Ocean Races were smart enough to dive down to the sea so that the attacks raining down on the sky wouldn't cause them any fatal injuries.

Ethan, the pillar who supported the Ocean Races, fought against the Black-Haired Man, while Illumina fought against the Purple-Haired Lady.

Princess Wilhelmina blocked the Two-Horned Giant, while the Naga King rose up to fight against the injured One-Eyed Giant.

The battle at the sea was chaotic and bloody, but it was clear who had the advantage in battle.

Only those who were riding on the Flying Ships were safe from the massacre taking place right below them.

Suddenly, the sound of a horn spread across the battlefield.

Not long after that, a swarm of Sharks led by Sharkmen joined the fray.

These powerful predators were filled with blood lust due to the thick scent of blood in the water of the sea.

The moment a Fomorian was knocked into the waters, they would immediately fall prey to the Sharks and Killer Whales.

The Whales, on the other hand, focused on ramming the thick layer of ice that the Fomorians were using as a foothold to fight against the members of the Ocean Races.

Levithan watched this battle from afar with a wizened gaze.

A part of his consciousness was locked onto Ethan's body, making sure that the Prince of Atlantis was always in his sight.

Since he said that he wouldn't interfere in the battle, he would be true to his word.

The only thing he would do was observe the Prince of Atlantis and hope that the latter's first major battle at the sea would teach him the untapped power of the Ocean Races, who were all under his command.
