Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 968: The Prince Of The Tides [Part 3]

While Ethan was dealing with the Black-Haired Man, who had escaped by flying to the sky, a little troublemaker had sneakily joined the fray without asking for permission.

When Ethan was about to follow his opponent, the golden egg jumped out of his storage ring before turning invisible.

It landed on the sea with a small splash, swiftly disappearing from everyone's sight.

The Golden Egg had been waiting for the perfect opportunity since the battle started. However, it couldn't find a good chance to sneak out without being detected by its Master.

Fortunately, an opportunity presented itself. It no longer held back and escaped with a mischievous chuckle that only it could hear.

'Now, which one should I eat first?' the Golden Egg thought as it poked its body out of the water.

It glanced at the Purple-Haired Lady, but since she was flying in the sky, it would be difficult for it to latch onto her body.

The battle between the Naga King and the One-Eyed Giant was so intense, so the Golden Egg worried that it might accidentally get stepped on by the two monsters, crushing it completely.

In the end, it settled for the Two-Horned Giant fighting against Princess Wilhelmina.

'Hehehe, I'll eat you first.' The Golden Egg snickered as its body started to skid across the surface of the water.

It watched as Ethan's six clones divided themselves into three groups, consisting of two members each.

Each duo headed to one of the three Fomorian Chieftains to assist their ally in battle.

Ethan had provided them with a few decks imbued with Rune Magic, allowing them to help tilt the tides of battle in their favor.

The Golden Egg pondered for a bit, but after great consideration, it decided that its best option was to ask for the Clone's help in order to enact its plan.

Using the power of Telepathy, it talked to the two Clones who were about to help Princess Wilhelmina.

After understanding what the mischievous egg planned to do, one of the clones made a U-Turn to pick up the Golden Egg from the sea and placed it on its shoulder.

When the two clones arrived at Princess Wilhelmina's location, they threw several cards at the Two-Horned Giant at the same time.

These cards were imbued with Lightning Magic, so the moment the runes activated, it unleashed a small lightning storm around the Two-Horned Giant, making it roar in anger.

Princess Wilhelmina didn't only have powerful physical defensive abilities. Her resistance to elemental attacks was also very high.

Because of this, she didn't hesitate to charge at the Two-Horned Giant, who was distracted by the lightning bolts that were raining down on it from different directions.

"Have you no honor?!" the Two-Horned Giant roared in anger. "Fight me one-on-one!"

"Shut up," one of Ethan's clones replied coldly. "You have no power here."

The Two-Horned Giant was about to hurl a mouthful of curses at the clone when suddenly, Wilhelmina's shield rammed into his chest, making him stagger, and take a few steps backward.

Ethan's Clones took that as an opportunity to unleash a combination of Rune Magic at the enemy, making his life miserable.

Wind and Fire Runes merged together, creating a flaming twister that trapped the Two-Horned Giant at the center.

The Golden Egg who was about to jump earlier immediately stopped in its tracks because if it really did jump at that moment, wouldn't it become a hard-boiled egg instead?

'Hey! What are the two of you doing?!' The Golden Egg complained. 'Are you trying to kill this Sir?! Can you do it in moderation? I need to latch onto that guy without him discovering me.

'Also, tell that mermaid lady to not hit the Giant's back later. I don't want to turn into a pancake if she suddenly bashes that monster's back.'

'Fine,' one of Ethan's clones replied and landed beside Princess Wilhelmina, who had also taken a step back from the flaming twister that was melting the platform of ice that the Fomorians were using as a foothold.

"Understood." Princess Wilhelmina nodded in understanding after Ethan's Clone told her about the plan that they were trying to execute.

Even though the ice already melted due to the twister, the Two-Horned Giant was still able to walk on the sea because of the enchantment that was placed on him by the Black-Haired Man, who specialized in Wind Magic.

Although its body was covered with burns all over the place, the Fomorians, especially the Giants among them, had a great regeneration rate, fast enough to recover these injuries after a minute or two. Experience tales at M-V-L

This was also the reason why Ethan's Clones believed that the Golden Egg's absorption would be more effective against such monsters.

"Let's go!" the Egg said through telepathy, informing the two Clones and Princess Wilhelmina that it was now time to act.

The three charged at the Two-Horned Giant from different directions, attacking him in a pincer attack.

Knowing how formidable the Mermaid Princess was, the Two-Horned Giant decided to switch its attention to the Clones, who posed a higher threat to him due to their Rune Magic.

One of the Clones threw a dozen cards, transforming them into Earth Spikes that were two meters long.

The other Clone used a similar spell, aiming at the Fomorian's back.

The Golden Egg, who had perched on the Clone's hand, jumped on one of the cards that it had thrown.

When the card transformed into an Earth Spike, the Golden Egg moved over its edge, waiting for the perfect opportunity to latch onto its target.

Facing a bombardment from different directions, the Two-Horned Giant didn't panic and raised its sword to deflect those he could block, and dodged those that he couldn't deflect.

Princess Wilhelmina raised her shield to ram the Giant's chest like what she had done earlier.

However, this time, the Two-Horned Giant wouldn't allow her to do as she pleased.

Raising his right leg, the Fomorian then kicked the Mermaid Princess' shield, making her skid back a few meters backward.

This was all part of Princess Wilhelmina's plan so that their opponent would lower his guard.

Chuckling internally, the Golden Egg finally made its move and jumped at the Fomorian's back.

But when one of the Earth Spikes landed on the Earth Giant's leg, the monster crouched down a bit before it turned around to roar in anger.

The Golden Egg suddenly found itself landing in the Two-Horned Giant's mouth, rolling down the Monster's throat.

The Fomorian Chieftain felt something enter its mouth, but it thought that it was just the rocks from the Earth Spike that it just shattered.

Since it was invisible, Ethan's Clones and Princess Wilhelmina didn't know if the Golden Egg's plan worked.

Still, they proceeded with the plan and attacked the Fomorian from the front, making sure not to hit its back like what they planned earlier.

Unknown to them, the Golden Egg was now inside the Fomorian's stomach, cackling like a mad scientist.

Its original plan was to latch onto the Fomorian's back like what it did to King Oceanus. However, it was now in a much safer place, allowing it to attack the enemy from within.

"The break's over," the Golden Egg said evilly as it started to use its absorption ability to drain the Two-Horned Giant of its strength. "It's time for the takeover."

Laughing like a mad scientist, the Golden Egg shone brightly as the life force of the Two-Horned Giant flowed inside of its body, nourishing it and allowing it to take a step closer to finally being born into the world.
