Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Ethan felt something soft press over his lips, which made him open his eyes.

He then stared at the ceiling, the unfamiliar sight making him frown.

But a few seconds later, he finally remembered where he was, making him sigh in relief.

Right beside him, a naked beauty lay, hugging his body.

She was none other than Lilith, who had accompanied him on this mission.

Ethan pondered for a bit, thinking whether it was Lilith who had just kissed him, but he rejected this idea.

The beautiful Catkin was sound asleep, so it was impossible for her to be the one who kissed him.

If she wanted to kiss him, she would kiss him boldly, and not resort to tricks like pretending to sleep after kissing him once.

'Am I just imagining things?' Ethan thought as he pressed his finger over his lips. 'That kiss felt so real…'

It had already been two days since he dove into the sea, and yet, he could feel that a great distance was between him and Illumina.

Because of this, he couldn't help but sigh, which made the beautiful lady beside him stir in her sleep.

"I'm sorry," Ethan said as he looked at his lover, who was looking at him with sleepy eyes. "Did I wake you up?"

"What's wrong?" Lilith asked in a sleepy tone before burying her head on Ethan's chest, inhaling his fragrance.

"I'm just thinking about Illumina," Ethan replied honestly.

"Mmm." Lilith nodded in understanding. "Let's have breakfast first, then we continue to search for her."

Lilith then raised her head to kiss Ethan's lips before propping herself up from the bed.

Her supple yet lithe figure would make any man feel incredibly happy if they were her man.

However, she had already set her heart on Ethan and wished to follow him for life.

Ethan also propped himself up and returned Lilith's kiss.

The two spent a minute kissing each other before they finally climbed out of the bed to have their breakfast.

After they were done eating, Lilith parted the curtain that blocked the glass window of the underwater carriage.

"Maybe you should catch a sea creature that can pull this carriage even if you are resting, Master," Lilith proposed. "Maybe we can cover more distance that way."

Ethan already thought of this. However, he wasn't able to find any sea creature that could play that role at the moment.

"I'll keep that in mind," Ethan replied.

Lilith nodded before transforming into a Black Cat and once again merging with Ethan's shadow.

The young man then left the carriage and summoned it back to his storage ring.

He then took out his wand and used his Resonance to continue their journey.

Nearly half an hour later, something unexpected happened.

The Sea God's Trident in Ethan's hand started to glow as if it was a pulsing heart.

"Ethan, something is calling out to the Sea God's Trident," Sebastian said in a serious tone.

Since Sebastian's gem was embedded on the Sea God's Trident, he was able to understand what was happening.

The Mermaid Princess, who noticed that Ethan wasn't following her anymore, returned and glanced at the glowing trident with great curiosity.

"Try to point the tip of the Trident in a direction," Illumina commented. "We might get more clues that way."

Ethan nodded and moved the tip of the Trident in a circular motion.

He noticed that the trident's glow dimmed down when he pointed to the west. However, when he pointed it to the east, the trident's glow intensified.

The pulsing light also became faster as if it was telling Ethan that he should head in that direction.

All this time, they were moving toward the Southwest, but the Sea God's Trident wished to go the east, making Ethan frown.

"Ethan, I know you want to reunite with Illumina as soon as possible, but the Sea God's Trident would not act this way if it isn't important," Sebastian commented. "There's also a possibility that it might be reacting to its missing part."

Ethan suddenly realized that the Sea God's Trident was indeed a broken artifact.

When he bought it from the Old Man named James, it looked like a three-pronged short sword.

Although it could transform and extend its length to that of a normal trident, Ethan knew that his weapon was missing the rest of its handle.

The young man felt conflicted if he should continue to search for Illumina or follow the location where the Sea God's Trident was pointing at.

After a few minutes, Ethan sighed as he made a hard choice.

The Sea God's Trident had accompanied him for a very long time, and it had served as his main weapon against many adversaries.

He didn't know where it was trying to lead him, but he believed that his sentient weapon would not lead him astray.

"I think you should follow it for now," Illumina said after seeing how conflicted Ethan was. "We never know if it will act this way again even if we return to this location. Although I am a bit worried about my original body, I believe this opportunity isn't one that should be ignored."

Ethan nodded. "You're right. I'll try to deal with this as fast as I can."

Illumina nodded before transforming back into Ethan's wand and flew straight toward his chest, merging with his body.

Ethan then moved in the direction where the Sea God's Trident wished for him to go with a determined look on his face.

——

In a world that was far away from Midgard…

A giant sea monster slowly opened his eyes.

Right beside it was a beautiful city, which didn't have a single soul living inside of it.

And yet, the giant sea monster saw something flickering in the center of the city, where a four-meter-tall emerald crystal stood tall amidst the darkness.

At first, the Giant Sea Monster thought that it was just seeing things, but after protecting the city for hundreds of years, he knew the significance of the light that was coming from the Emerald Crystal.

Suddenly, a young man with short red hair and green eyes that was overflowing with power appeared beside him.

If one were to look closely, they would realize that the young man wasn't a human, but a handsome Half-Elf who was now a good friend of the Giant Sea Monster.

"What's happening?" the Half-Elf asked. "Why is the Core of Atlantis suddenly flickering with life?"

The Giant Sea Monster didn't answer right away as it continued to stare at the faint light that was coming from the center of the Green Emerald.

The Half-Elf didn't ask again and simply waited for the Sea Monster to reply to his question.

After a few minutes of silence, the Monster finally spoke what was on its mind.

"I don't dare to make a guess because the light is still faint," the Giant Sea Monster replied. "But if my eyes are not fooling me, it can only mean one thing."

The Giant Sea Monster paused for a while as its body trembled with a hint of longing and expectation.

"A Prince of Atlantis has appeared," the Giant Sea Monster stated. Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr

"A Prince of Atlantis?" the Half-Elf's eyes widened in shock. "Then does that mean…"

The Giant Sea Monster nodded as it gently cradled the lost city of Atlantis in its embrace.

"The owner of Atlantis has appeared," the Giant Sea Monster said. "And with this discovery, I and this ancient city will finally stop drifting in the seas of time and space. Perhaps soon, we will return to our home, and finally regain the glory that we lost hundreds of years ago."

The Half-Elf looked at the Giant Sea Monster and nodded his head in understanding.

"Do you need my help?" the Half-Elf asked.

"There's no need for you to lend your assistance," the Giant Sea Monster replied. "If this faint light truly belonged to a Prince of Atlantis, then this is part of his Epic. Only he and he alone can face this challenge, just like how you faced yours more than a decade ago."

The Giant Sea Monster's eyes softened a bit as the flickering lights in the center of the Green Emerald intensified.

Although the citizens of Atlantis had long vanished in the sea of time and space, the Legacy they left behind remained in the city, waiting to be woken up from their slumber by their Prince, who shall reclaim the glory that rightfully belonged to him.
