Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 818: The Price Of Arrogance [Part 3]



Several thoughts swirled inside Godfrey's mind simultaneously, but he prioritized the most pressing concern and temporarily brushed off the rest.

Knowing that the attack of the Mermaid Princess was truly powerful, Godfrey decided to do the only thing he could do-scatter his body into countless fragments by turning himself into countless bats.

Illumina's concentrated beam of water harmlessly passed through the screeching bats that flew in different directions, forming a miniature swarm.

However, Ethan was not done just yet.

Pointing his wand toward the sky, dark clouds gathered and covered the light of the sun.

The rumbling of thunder and the powerful gusts of wind heralded the coming of a storm.

A storm which Godfrey didn't expect would be summoned.

A lightning bolt descended from the sky like a vengeful dragon, turning all the bats it hit into ashes.

Several more lightning bolts descended, annihilating the bats without mercy and making the onlookers scatter like wild ducks hearing the sound of gunshot.

They understood that this was no longer an ordinary duel, but a battle of powerful beings akin to Gods compared to ants like them.

If they were unlucky, they might get hit by a lightning bolt and turn into charcoal.

"It seems that I have underestimated you, Lady Ethel," Godfrey's voice, which no longer held a tinge of playfulness, spread in the surroundings. "But you still won't win. I am invincible!"

The swarm of bats merged together, and the Vampire Lord appeared, his eyes glowing golden.

"You're invincible?" Ethan smirked. "Let's put that to the test."

Ethan pointed his wand at Godfrey and summoned dozens of Giant Water Snakes.

The Vampire Lord snorted and swung his hands, creating Crimson Blades that cut the Water Snakes in half.

However, just as he was about to eliminate the last Water Snake, his instincts kicked in, and he immediately jumped backward.

But he was a little too late in doing so.

Illumina's water beam sliced through the Vampire Lord's right arm, severing it completely.

However, a few seconds later, a trail of blood burst forth from the severed arm and connected itself back to Godfrey's body.

The Vampire Lord acted as if nothing happened and even looked at the Mermaid Princess in disdain.

"Sea Witch, I never thought I'd see you again in this place," Godfrey disdainfully sneered. "Did you know, Lady Ethel? That Mermaid Princess is the same person who accompanied Princess Ramona to see the Progenitor of Magic. I don't know how she became your familiar, but you're better off without her!"

Knowing that Illumina wouldn't disappear unless he knocked out the young beauty unconscious, Godfrey no longer hesitated and flew in Ethan's direction.

"Filthy bat." Illumina sneered. "Not in my watch!"

Dozens of water orbs circled around Illumina, and with a snap of her fingers, all of them transformed into Water Beams. They shot toward Godfrey, forcing the Demigod to stop his charge and to take evasive actions.

Ethan wasn't being idle either. He made a slashing motion with his wand, commanding the lightning bolts to annihilate his foe.

Godfrey then summoned two bloody swords in his hands and parried the lightning bolts, making them scatter, resulting in the ground around him being destroyed.

Then, with a flexibility that would put any gymnast to shame, the Vampire Lord bent his body

at an unnatural angle, dodging Illumina's Water Beams that defied human logic.

Of course, he was not able to dodge all of the attacks aimed in his direction, but it didn't matter.

Even if his body parts exploded, the Vampire Lord would regenerate the damage in a matter of seconds anyway.

Because of this, Thirteen noticed a pattern.

Godfrey only blocked or evaded the attacks that targeted his head.

Even if his chest were to be blown up, he didn't bat an eye.

But whenever one of his or Illumina's spells were to hit his head, Godfrey would immediately take evasive actions to protect it.

As if coming to an understanding, Illumina and Ethan focused their target on the Vampire Lord's face, making Godfrey roar in anger.

Lyall and Conall were unable to approach their opponent because it was too risky to do that.

If they made a mistake, Ethan's and Illumina's spells might hit them, which would be the worst-case scenario.

However, Nicole was a different case.

The young lady was paying close attention to Godfrey's movements, so every time she saw an opportunity, she would also cast an Earth Spike to pierce through the Vampire Lord's body when he least expected it.

Godfrey was now regretting the fact that he had underestimated his opponents.

He should have been suspicious when he received the letter of challenge from Ethel.

The fact that she asked for a group battle instead of a one-on-one was already a giveaway that she would be fighting alongside her entourage.

But Godfrey, who had lived several decades without encountering any danger to his life, had lost his edge in battle.

Not to mention that he had arrogantly believed that even if he were alone, he would still be able to overwhelm Ethel and her comrades because of his incredibly powerful regeneration ability that could regenerate a severed body part in seconds.

He was only able to do that because of his robust life force, which he had gained from drinking the blood of powerful witches.

As smart as he was, Godfrey also realized that even if he had brought four of his strongest subordinates, the end result would be the same.

None of the men under him was a match against the young beauty's comrades, whose fighting abilities were above the normal standards.

"You won't defeat me!" Godfrey roared as he decided to stop defending and to focus on

attacking.

They couldn't kill him anyway, so he would just close the distance and go all out.

Although he didn't want to seriously injure Ethel, he had no choice but to do it.

Only by defeating her would he be able to get the upper hand in this fight.

But when he was only a few meters from the young lady, the servant who had been standing

by her side finally made his move.

Time seemed to move in slow motion as Godfrey's gaze landed on the young man's glowing right fist, which made his senses scream in alarm.

As someone who had lived for hundreds of years, Godfrey trusted his senses more than anything. He understood that the attack that the man was about to lunge at him could

potentially threaten him.

Knowing that his life may be on the line, a pair of bat-like wings burst forth from the VampireNôv(el)B\\jnn

Lord's back.

With a mighty flap of his wings, the Vampire Lord shot toward the sky in an attempt to escape Hecate's ultimate move.

But just as he thought that he was about to successfully make an escape, he felt something coil on his right leg, preventing him from flying away.

Ethan, who was holding the dimensional chain that Professor Barret had given him before he left Brynhildr Academy, sneered at the Vampire Lord, who didn't expect this trick he was

saving for last.

"Damn you!" Godfrey shouted with all his might as he slashed at Hecate using the blood

swords in his hands.

But two Ice Spikes jutted from the ground and pierced through his arms, preventing him from

swinging his swords fully.

"Void Breaker."

Hecate's words rang inside Godfrey's head before an excruciating pain exploded in his chest.

He, who had lived for hundreds of years, had grown too arrogant of his powers.

He believed that aside from the Progenitors and other Demigods, no one was his match.

Little did Godfrey know that Ethan and his comrades had traveled thousands of miles in order

to defeat him.

When he realized his folly, it was already too late.

The only thing he could do was scream as Hecate's attack took effect, stopping his precious regeneration ability from healing the damage that would bring him down to his knees.
