Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 962  Terror To All The World! [Part 2]

The moment the order was given, the Fomorians started their march to rise to the surface.

Leading them was none other than King Arawn, for the Kingdom of Annwn was his domain.

He had brought only thirteen people with him, but all of them were his Elite Knights—each of which was a Champion in their own right, specializing in varying manners of studies, including poetry, music, literature, arts of war, weaponry, science, and a few other things.

Regardless of their fields, all of them were very powerful warriors. They were the pride of King Arawn, and he called them The Hounds of Annwn .

Arawn liked raising hounds, so despite the fact that these Champions weren't one, he still called them such.

And for them, this was the greatest honor, for they all knew just how fond their King was of his trusted and loyal retainers.

The massive army reached the surface after three days of traveling.

The moment they appeared, the ground trembled, and all those who saw them panicked as they had never seen such monstrosities in their lifetime.

All the Kingdoms immediately sent scouts to monitor the movement of the Fomorian Army, desperately hoping that they wouldn’t head in their direction.

Fortunately for them, the Fomorians had no plans of taking any detours.

They only had one destination, and that was North.

For that was the location of the Sea that separated them from the Shire Continent.

Unbeknownst to them, a handful of Catkins had unnoticeably appeared in the distance and were following behind them discreetly.

“Inform the Young Master,” one of the Catkins said with a grim expression on his face. “The Fomorians are heading North!”

The Orpheus Clan, which was one of the Protector Clans of the Valentin Family, didn’t waste any time and contacted the proper channels to pass along the latest information regarding the Fomorian Army.

***

In the skies not far away from the land of Midgard…

“Sir Merric, the communication crystal is glowing!” one of the Catkins, who had been cleaning the Captain’s Quarters, rushed to the deck to inform his Captain.

Merric’s face immediately turned serious, and he immediately rushed back to his quarters.

Seeing the crystal glowing on the table, he didn’t hesitate and activated it completely.

A row of text appeared on the surface of the crystal, providing Merric with the latest information that had been gathered by his brethren in Midgard.

“The Fomorians are moving towards the North! Inform the Young Master immediately!”

That was the message that Merric saw in the Crystal.

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate to activate the two communication crystals in his possession so that he could pass the message to Professor Rinehart, as well as his Young Master, about the latest developments regarding the Fomorian Army.

He didn’t know which one of them would be able to read the message first. But he was certain that once either of them saw it, they would not hesitate to contact the other and discuss their next form of action.

After sending his message, Merric immediately gave the order to retreat.

He didn’t know what methods the Fomorians would use to cross the sea.

They could travel by air or travel by sea.

However, Merric was certain that the Fomorian Army couldn’t travel in the skies en masse.

This meant that the majority of them would travel by sea, which would affect the battles that would be waged on its surface.

When the Headmaster’s Office received the message, Professor Rinehart didn’t see it right away because he was currently having his weekly meeting with the Professors of the Academy.

As for Ethan?

He was currently sleeping peacefully, with his head resting on Illumina’s chest, and breathing softly.

His wife was also fast asleep, so neither of them saw the faint glow of the communication crystal placed on the small table beside the bed.

Fortunately, Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half were always awake, so they noticed it immediately.

‘Ethan, wake up!’ Sebastian shouted. ‘Your communication crystal is shining!’

Unfortunately, despite Sebastian’s shouting, the young man remained deep asleep, unable to hear his call.

Out of desperation, Ethan’s Other Half took control of Ethan’s hand and slapped the young man’s face, jolting him awake.

Ethan, who was woken by a slap, immediately propped himself up from the bed and looked at his surroundings in confusion.

‘Ethan! Look at the communication crystal on the table!’ Sebastian shouted. ‘It’s shining!’

Sebastian’s shout finally registered inside Ethan’s head, making the young man’s face turn serious.

He then grabbed the communication crystal and activated it to see the message that was passed onto him.

After seeing the message, Ethan’s face turned grim.

He didn’t hesitate to take the communication crystal out of his ring to contact Professor Rinehart.

Professor Rinehart didn’t think twice before picking up the young man’s call despite being in the middle of the meeting.

“What’s wrong?” Professor Rinehart asked.

“Professor, the Fomorians are moving toward the North of Midgard!” Ethan replied. “According to my people, they number in the hundreds of thousands.”

Professor Rinehart and the Professors who were in the meeting were all shaken by Ethan’s report.

They knew that the Fomorians would come knocking on their doors sooner or later, but they didn’t expect that it would come this soon!

“I understand. I will inform everyone who needs to know this information,” Professor Rinehart stated. “Keep me updated!”

The moment the connection between Ethan and him was cut, the Headmaster immediately adjourned the meeting and hurried to his office.

He needed to contact a few people, including the Grand Archmage of Eastshire, Edmond Bourbon.

Dozens of Ravens took flight an hour later, bringing the news to faraway places.

Now that the Fomorians had made their move, the rulers of the Shire Continent must prepare their armies for the inevitable clash between them and the Fomorian Army.

As much as he believed that Ethan would be able to deal a significant blow to the Fomorian Army, it was a fact that there would still be a few who would be able to break through the young man's defenses.

For those whom the young man couldn’t defeat, it was up to them to finish what he started.

Ethan also didn’t stand idly. Despite the fact that it was around midnight in the sea, he didn’t hesitate to inform Leviathan about the news.

“Although it is a little early, I think you can use the Sea God’s Temple to pass the message to all the members of the Ocean Races,” Leviathan explained. “That is the place where the King of Atlantis gave his decree to the rulers of the sea.

“You now possess the power of Authority. With this, no matter the distance, you will be able to contact the High Priestesses of the Ocean Races, who will then pass your message to their ruler.

After asking a few more questions on how to issue the decree, Ethan hurried to the Sea God’s Temple.

It took him a while to activate the formation that was needed to pass his message to the world, but once he was done, he spoke in a clear and decisive manner.

“The Fomorians are about to cross the Sea, and they are headed to the Shire Continent,” Ethan stated. “I request assistance from the Ocean Races to help repel this massive army, who wish to conquer the world through war and bloodshed!

“To the outstanding Heroes of this generation, I await you in the City of Atlantis! Together, we will repel these foul beasts and drive them back to where they came from!”

The news spread like waves, reaching every Kingdom under the sea.

Ever since Ethan had already mentioned the eventuality of this event at his wedding reception, all the Kings had immediately worked to prepare their men so they could act at a moment’s notice.

A day after the Prince of Atlantis gave his decree, the armies of the Ocean Races started to move to the Ancient City of Atlantis, where their Prince was waiting for them to accompany him to battle.
