Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 766: A Conspiracy



A few hours later...

High above the skies of Eastshire, the Ravens flew in formation, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Dantalion was leading the group composed of the Ravens of Ethan's lovers, sister, and friend, and they were headed Southeast, where the first cases of the attacks were reported.

Even at night, the Ravens could see as clear as day, allowing them to see everything below them.

Suddenly, something caught Dantalion's eye, and a second later, several fireballs flew in their direction.

Lilian's Raven, Lynn, summoned Water Blades that cut the Fireballs in half, making them explode mid-flight.

"Pair up, and make sure to watch each other's back," Dantalion commanded as he pulled his wings close to his body and made a nosedive toward the forest where the Fireballs came from. He had already located where the assailants were hiding, and from what he could see, there were around ten of them, which were split into two groups in an attempt to distract them. Lily's and Nicole's Ravens, Daisy and Neve, moved to the right, while Emma's and Chloe's Ravens, Dawn and Nightshade, moved toward the left.

Joanne's and Hecate's ravens, Melody and Xena, followed behind Dantalion.

Melody transformed into a shadow, melding with Xena, hiding both of them in the Darkness.

Dantalion, on the other hand, transformed into a human with white wings, making him look like an avenging angel who had descended from the skies.

"None of you are getting away," Dantalion said icily as he activated the power that he could borrow from Ethan.

Immediately, dark clouds covered the sky and rain began to fall.

The water droplets were then transformed by Lily's and Nicole's ravens into ice needles, which rained down on the fleeting bastards without mercy.

Forced to defend themselves, the First Group decided to confront Dantalion, who was more than happy to face them.

Five different spells flew in his direction, but Dantalion didn't even bother to dodge them. These five spells hit his body directly, making it turn into a black smoke.

"A clone!" one of the robed individuals gasped in shock when he realized that what they targeted wasn't real.

Suddenly, he heard a cry of pain, followed by the sound of a tree falling to the ground behind him.

Dantalion had appeared at their rear and punched one of the robed individuals from behind, sending the latter flying.

The four immediately reacted, but before they could do anything, they realized that they were unable to move their feet because they were frozen solid on the ground.

Emma's Raven, Daisy, flew past one of these robed individuals and sliced off one of their legs, making them fall on the ground, not knowing how it happened in the span of just a few seconds.

When the man realized what had happened, he could do nothing else but scream.

But screaming didn't help him because Nicole's Raven, Neve, turned him into a block of ice with a freezing ray.

The other members of the group had managed to free themselves from the ice that covered their feet.

However, shadows rose up from the ground and entangled them, preventing them from running away.

At the same time, Hecate's Raven, Xena, head-butted one of them.

She was just like a cannonball, and the moment she collided with the robed individual's head, the latter exploded like a smashed watermelon.

The Ravens were feeling murderous. Several of their comrades had died because of the doings of these people.

After one of them had died, however, Dantalion ordered everyone to just cripple them, intending to interrogate them all.

'Damn, why are these Ravens so strong?!' the Leader of the Robed Individuals thought as he fled as fast as he could. 'Since when did they travel in groups?!'

Earlier, he was bragging to his men about the number of Ravens that he had killed over the past few days.

But now, his arrogance could no longer be seen.

The only thing he could do was run and listen to the screams that were spreading in his surroundings.

He had ordered his group to run in different directions, intending to use them as bait for their pursuers.

Using the power given to them by their Master, he enhanced his running speed, allowing him to travel quickly across the forest floor.

But just as he thought that he had finally escaped, a winged man appeared in front of him, forcing him to change the direction he was running.

At that moment, he felt a powerful pressure descend upon his body, preventing him from moving from where he stood.

Dantalion's eyes glowed with power as he waved his hand.

Immediately, a bubble made up of water covered the man's face, preventing him from

breathing.

The man tried to break free, but his body was bound by two Water Snakes, making it so he was unable to do anything.

When he could no longer breathe, the bubble popped up, leaving him gasping for breath.

Suddenly, he felt a hand grab his head from behind, holding him in place.

A cold and chilling premonition made the back of his spine tingle as he forced himself to scream so that he could fight off the fear that had taken hold of him.

Unfortunately, only a silent scream escap

his lips.

Half a minute later, his body shuddered uncontrollably before going completely limp.

Dantalion's hand, which was still holding the man's head, finally relaxed, making him fall to the ground with a thud.

Ethan's Raven had used his powers to read the man's mind. He now understood that they were dealing with a Cult connected to a faction that was just as dangerous as the Fomorians.

"The Milesians," Dantalion muttered as he narrowed his eyes. "So they plan to cause trouble and blame it on the Fomorians later. But why are they targeting the Ravens of Brynhildr Academy?"

The White Raven had read the minds of all the robed individuals who had been neutralized by the others.

However, aside from finding out their origin, he wasn't able to learn the reason behind why the Ravens were being targeted.

Even their assailants, who had been ordered to attack the Ravens of Brynhildr Academy and had been taught a method to differentiate whether the Raven belonged to the academy or not,

did not know.

Dantalion knew that he would not get the answers he wanted from the robed individuals, so

he asked Daisy and Neve to transform all of them into Ice Statues, which they would take back

to the academy.

'I just hope that the other groups will be able to find answers,' Dantalion thought as he helped levitate their frozen prisoners back to the academy. "This smells like a conspiracy.'

The White Raven knew that, right now, he only had assumptions inside of his head. Without definite proof, he could not make a decision on the spot, so he decided to look for the other members of the organization after they had delivered their captives to Brynhildr

Academy.

Somewhere in Midgard...

"Those Ravens are more decisive than I thought," Arawn commented with a smile as he looked at Dantalion's image on the mirror on the wall. "Some of them are even more powerful than I expected. Fortunately, they will not be able to connect this incident to the Fomorians." As the Lord of Anwnn was admiring the strength of the White Raven, one of his subordinates

knelt in front of him.

"The Council is now asking for your presence, My Lord," the servant said. "How should I reply

to them?"

"No need to tell them anything," Arawn replied as he gave the mirror one last glance. "I am going to meet them now. We can't let our guests keep waiting, can we?"

Arawn smirked as he walked toward the balcony of his castle.

In the distance, countless monsters could be seen, making the smile on his face widen.

"This will keep me from being bored for a while,' Arawn mused as he flew toward the place where the Leaders of the various tribes had gathered.

Since they were asking for his help to find the Stone of Destiny, it was only normal that he would get something for his troubles.

Arawn had been an active player in the war of the distant past. But, those wars were over, which left him feeling a bit bored for the past hundreds of years.

Fortunately, some of the Fomorians weren't content with their current situation and had decided to stir up trouble for their own kind.

After decades of hard work, the Council of the Fomorians decided to convene and choose a

King that would lead them to battle.

However, they couldn't agree on who would lead them, so they decided to first find the Stone of Destiny, letting them learn the identity of their True King.

Once that happened, the world would see an army that would once again make the lands of

Midgard tremble.

It would also make those who had thought that the Fomorians were only part of their Myths and Legends realize that they were just as real as the monsters living inside their heads.
