Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 523 What A Rebellious Child

“W-What?!” Lyall almost dropped the Salmon in her hands. “E-Ethan?! Is that you?!”

“Calm down, Lyall,” the Salmon talked to Lyall through telepathy as it rose up from the robes. “It is indeed me.”

“W-Wait?! What is happening?!” Lyall asked in panic. “Are you a fish?! Did I fall in love with a fish?!”

“Um, it’s a bit complicated,” Ethan replied. “Let me just try an experiment.”

The Wizard Robes that Lyall was holding flew toward the Salmon and disappeared inside his body.

‘I see. So Morgan’s Ring is inside my body,’ Ethan thought. ‘Sebastian, can you hear me?’

‘Yes, I can,’ Sebastian answered.

‘I can hear you as well,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. ‘It seems that it's only your body’s appearance that has changed. But over all, it’s 100% still you. I’m guessing that you can also use your power over water in this form.’

The White Salmon, which was two-feet long, manipulated the water around him, forming countless Water Snakes, making him nod his head.

A moment later, three Tridents appeared around him, circling his body like satellites.

It was none other than the Sea God Trident, Areadbhair, and Lightbringer.

(A/N: Just in case some of you forgot, Lighbringer is the Holy Trident he received from the Magdar Kingdom in the Lands of Alastor.)

‘I can feel that I can also summon Dainsleif,’ Ethan mused. ‘But since I don’t need him right now, it's better if I don't show him to anyone.’

Ethan then summoned a Deck of Cards from his storage ring and made them float around him, orbiting around his body. He was trying to test if he could still use his trump cards even in his Salmon Form, and the result exceeded his expectations.

For some reason, he felt like he could multitask and split his thoughts to perform several tasks at once.

This allowed him to control the Tridents individually, as well as every single card hovering around him. Such ability was a great surprise for him for it could allow him to make minute-changes in his attack patterns, without losing his concentration.

After confirming that he could still use his abilities, he returned his Tridents and Cards inside of his body before shifting his attention to Lyall and Conall, who were looking at him with surprise.

“Um, I obtained a Legacy, and it’s called the Great Therian Legacy,” Ethan said through telepathy. “This allows me to transform into different kinds of animals. However, I’m still unable to fully control it. Perhaps the voice that spoke earlier triggered my Legacy, forcing me to take a Salmon form, perhaps since we’re surrounded by bodies of water.”

The young man knew that what he was saying was hard to believe, but he had no choice but to bullsh*t his way out of this mess.

Gazing at the moonless sky, Ethan understood that his Origin Magic had reacted to the side effect of Mimir’s Legacy.

On the first night of the new moon until the sun set the next day, he would remain as a Salmon.

The only silver lining was that the Legacy Domain was a Wetland, allowing him to hide in the water whenever he wanted.

Also, Lyall and Conall were with him, so he was relatively safe.

That was what he thought until he heard Lyall’s next words.

“I see… if I eat him now, we will be together forever,” Lyall said softly as she looked at Ethan. “Yes. We will always be together if I eat him now. He will be a part of me.”

Before Ethan could even think of what to do, his body subconsciously reacted and swam away as fast as he could.

It seemed that his sixth sense realized that Lyall wasn’t joking, so his body moved accordingly to preserve his life.

Lyall, who saw her Mate run away, immediately broke out into a grin and decided to run after him.

However, before she could do that, Conall grabbed hold of her body, preventing her from eating the Salmon, who was his sister’s Mate.

“Snap out of it, Lyall!” Conall growled. “Don’t make me use force to stop you!”

After hearing her brother’s reminder, the crazy girl calmed down a bit, making the High Pixie, Nika, sigh in relief.

“You two calm down first,” Nika said. “I’m going to follow Ethan just in case he comes across other Fairies.”

The High Pixie didn’t even wait for any reply and flew after Ethan as fast as she could.

She was quite surprised to see a Salmon swimming two-

meters above the ground as if it was swimming in the water.

“Ethan, aren’t you going to wait for them?” Nika asked after she had caught up with the Salmon she was chasing after.

“No,” Ethan replied. “They can catch up to us in no time. So, we should just continue to head toward the Sacred Altar to save some time.”

When they entered the Domain, the sun was still at its peak. But now, it was night.

Something like this was only possible inside the Epic Legacy Domain because the owner of the voice was the Ruler of the World.

Her will was the world’s will, and if what she said was true, then everyone inside the Legacy Domain was in danger.

But, for some reason, Ethan didn’t feel afraid, which surprised him.

He even felt that he was about to meet a long lost friend whom he hadn’t seen for hundreds or maybe even thousands of years.

This was a truly indescribable feeling, and he had no idea why he was feeling this way.

Even so, his goal remained the same.

To stop whatever was causing this darkness.

‘It’s quite unfortunate that I'm unable to contact Nicole, Sir Henry, and Rowan,’ Ethan thought as he swam toward the blue pillar that shone brightly in the distance. ‘I just hope that they chose to escape. I have a feeling that this will not end peacefully.’

Just as Ethan was thinking along these lines, he felt the presence of Lyall and Conall catching up from behind them.

The Salmon didn’t even bother to look back, feeling that the moment he saw Lyall’s expression, he would regret it very much.

‘Don’t let her catch you, Ethan,’ Sebastian commented. ‘You’ll be lucky if she decides to grill you first. Only in that scenario will you have a chance to escape. If she decides to eat you raw, it will all be over.’

Ethan’s Other Half snorted because even though that crazy girl was thinking of eating the young man, she wouldn’t be able to get her way.

Even if he didn’t make a move to slap Lyall silly, Illumina certainly would, with how overprotective she was of Ethan.

As if to prove his point, Ethan’s wand was now flying alongside the Salmon as if it was a bodyguard that was ready to strike at any moment.

The tip of the wand was even pointing at Lyall, ready to teach the Wolf Girl a lesson if she really planned to take a bite of her Master.

While this was happening, a beautiful lady emerged from the Sacred Altar, making all the Fairies, Pixies, and High Pixies kneel in her presence.

Aria, the Gatekeeper of the Altar, shuddered when the lady’s gaze landed on her body.

“Come, Gatekeeper,” said the beautiful Fairy, whose long blue hair fluttered as if it was swaying in water. “Fulfill your role, and unlock my full power.”

The little Fairy, Aria, subconsciously took a step back when the Water Fairy Queen, Celestia, reached out her hand to grab her.

“N-Noooo!” Aria shouted in fear just as Celestia’s hand was about to reach her.

A second later, her body glowed as she teleported away from the Sacred Altar, making the Fairy Queen narrow her gaze.

“What a rebellious child,” Celestia said before raising her hand. “Hear me, my subjects—accept my blessings, and drive the invaders away.”

Countless beams of blue light emerged from Celestia’s body and merged with the Water Fairies, Pixies, and High Pixies, making them all writhe in pain.

Half a minute later, all of their eyes glowed red.

“Bring Aria back to me, and kill those who stand in your way,” Celestia ordered. “Go!”

After hearing their Queen’s cue, countless Fairies mobilized like a swarm of killer bees, whose glowing red eyes shone in the darkness.

It was going to be a long night, and the Fairies, who were once hunted, had now become the hunters, who would soak their Domain with the blood of their enemies.

Celestia smirked as she sat over the Sacred Altar as if it was her throne.

Now that she had returned, she would make everyone remember the Fairy of Calamity, who once attempted to drown the entire Shire Continent and bring it to the bottom of the sea.
