Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

A young man slept peacefully, as the Mermaid Princess held him close.

Both of them were submerged under the crystal blue waters of the sea, floating gently in its currents.

Illumina lightly patted the young man’s head, who was resting on her chest.

She could tell that he would be waking up in an hour or two, so she allowed him to sleep until he woke up naturally.

The battle against Lily’s older brother, Conall, had taken a toll on his body. Fortunately, Professor Galena was truly an accomplished healer, so she made sure that Ethan got the best treatment that she had to offer.

Currently, Professor Barret was collecting the ingredients on her list, so that she could create one of her homebrewed elixirs that she had been working on for quite some time.

Ethan’s body was seriously injured, while his mind, and spirit were unstable due to the backlash of his Legacy.

Because of this, Illumina deemed that it would be for the best if his spirit also rested, so she put Ethan to a dreamless sleep, allowing him to recover faster.

It had been two days since his battle with Lily’s Older Brother and there were signs that his Spirit had fully recovered from the backlash.

While she was doing this, two beings appeared within the sea a few meters away from her and looked at the teenage boy in her embrace.

"I think it will be best if you guide him in the proper use of his Legacy, Sebastian,” Illumina said softly. “Although he will be able to fight against First and Second Years, without problems, Lily’s family is a variable. We need to speed up his growth and understanding of the Tide Bringer’s Legacy.”

Sebastian sighed before nodding his head. “I will help him up to the Third Level of the Legacy only. As for the Fourth, and the Fifth, that will have to wait until his coming of age ceremony.”

Illumina nodded in understanding before she shifted her gaze to Ethan’s Other Half.

"When he comes of age, he will also inherit the Legacy of his other bloodline, right?” Illumina inquired. “There will not be any conflict between the Tide Bringer’s Legacy and your Legacy, will there?”

"If Ethan was an ordinary child, having more than one Legacy would be detrimental to his growth,” Ethan’s Other-Half replied. “But, he isn’t. His bloodline on his father’s and mother’s sides are strong. The fact that he was able to awaken the Tide Bringer’s Legacy is proof of it.

"Besides, My Legacy is an All Rounder. It is compatible with every type of Legacy, so there will not be a problem. His Great, Great, Great, Great Grandpa was even able to control Four Legacies. Ethan will be just fine.”

Illumina nodded, a look of relief appearing on her beautiful face.

They were three powerful beings, and all of them cared for the handsome young man, who still didn’t understand anything about his biological family.

They were Ethan’s strongest allies and closest confidants. As long as it was within their power, they would not hesitate to break a few rules for him.

Two hours later…

The young man’s eyelids fluttered before they slowly opened.

The first thing he felt was that he was nestled in a comfortable embrace, making him feel safe and protected.

He also felt very comfortable, making him feel drowsy, even though he had just woken up.

But, before his eyes could close to sleep again, the images of the battle against Conall appeared inside his mind.

Because of this, he became wide awake and looked at his surroundings. At first, he thought that he would find himself in the arena, facing off against Lily’s Older Brother.

However, a glance in his surroundings was enough to tell him where he was.

"Illumina?” Ethan looked at the Mermaid Princess, who was looking at him with a smile.

"Good morning, Ethan,” Illumina said. "Did you sleep well?"

"Good morning,” Ethan replied. "I did. Thank you."

He vaguely remembered how he lost consciousness after using the Third Level of his Legacy, so he assumed that he was still recovering from his injuries.

"How long was I unconscious?” Ethan inquired.

"Two days,” Illumina answered. “Only your consciousness is awake. As for your body, it is still healing. Right now, you are in a comatose state.”

Ethan was surprised after hearing the Mermaid Princess’ explanation. A tinge of anxiousness appeared on his face, but Illumina’s next words calmed him down a bit.

"Don’t worry,” Illumina stated. “Once your body recovers, you will naturally wake up in the outside world as well. For now, let your body recover. This is the consequence of pushing yourself to the limit.”

Illumina lightly poked Ethan’s head, making the young man smile bitterly.

He understood that he would suffer a backlash if he used the Third Level of his Legacy. Even so, he didn’t regret it.

He would rather be the one to get hurt than let his lovers suffer.

"What happened after?” Ethan inquired. “Can you tell me?”

Illumina nodded. “Lily jumped on the arena to stand between you and her older brother. Fortunately, Conall didn’t make any move to attack you, so the brother and sister didn’t confront each other.

"After that, Professor Barret took you to the infirmary to let Professor Galena have a look at you. The Professor also prevented any visitors from seeing you. But, she made sure to inform your girlfriends that you are no longer in danger.”

Ethan sighed after hearing Illumina’s words. He was really worried that Lily was going to do something reckless and attack her family.

Fortunately, that scenario didn’t happen.

"Do you think I got their approval?” Ethan asked.

Illumina has an amused look on her face before answering Ethan’s question.

"I don’t know.” Illumina said in a teasing tone. “But, you managed to break Conall’s nose as a result of the duel. I’m sure he got the message after you punched him twice in the face. I’m a bit sad that your last attack didn’t make contact with his body. He would have definitely gotten a shock out of that.”

Ethan was also disappointed that his Coup de Grace didn’t hit its intended target.

If it did, he was certain that Conall would have found it to be a very shocking experience.

Just as the young man was about to ask another question, he heard someone clearing his throat right beside him, despite the fact that they were under the sea.

"Ethan, you did well in the battle against Conall,” Sebastian said. “But, you could have done better if I had allowed you to use a bit of my power during the match. So, while your body is still recovering, I will train you on how to use my power.”

Ethan blinked in confusion because he didn’t understand what Sebastian was talking about.

What he didn’t know was that in order to fully utilize the Tide Bringer’s Legacy, he needed Sebastian’s Power to increase its effectiveness.

Similar to how Illumina powered up his Water Magic once he used his Partial Resonance, Sebastian could also use his own power to aid Ethan in battle using his Sea God’s Trident.

Truth be told, Sebastian only wanted to share this information with Ethan after he had come of age.

He deemed that it was still too early for Ethan to wield his power because the young man had only been introduced to the world of Magic for a year.

In short, Ethan’s foundation in magic wasn’t that great. Sure, he could cast powerful spells, and Illumina could even increase the output of his spells.

But, just like martial arts, being able to throw a punch or a kick didn’t make you a Master Fighter.

Without proper techniques, he would be unable to wield his magic effectively.

While it was true that Ethan had learned Martial Arts and Magic Arts in the Lands of Alastor for more than a year, the most he did was solidify his foundations by perfecting the basics.

Now that powerful enemies might come looking for him, Illumina and Sebastian deemed it best to push his Legacy Training forward a bit.

As for Ethan’s Other-Half, he also planned on helping the young man in other ways. But, right now, his Tide Bringer Legacy Training came first.

Conall’s appearance had allowed Ethan to get a glimpse on how a true Powerhouse fought.

In his current state, he was unable to fight someone of that level.

So, the thing that Sebastian wanted to teach him was not how to fight beings as strong as Conall, but on how to survive battle against them.

Winning and Surviving might be two different concepts.

But, for those that weren’t strong enough, being able to survive an encounter with someone that was leagues stronger than them, would allow them to live another day.

That way, they would be able to grow and, once they’d grown enough, it would not be too late to pay them back for the suffering you received in their hands.
