Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

He didn\'t know why he was feeling this way, but it somewhat surprised him. However, since he didn\'t feel any danger, he decided to give it a try.

Due to the influence of Mimir\'s Origin Magic, Ethan\'s Transformation was perfect. Even those who were proficient in detection magic wouldn\'t be able to sense him unless he went out of his way to reveal himself.

Aria, who was currently peeking out from inside the Salmon\'s mouth, had a determined look on her face.

Although she was still scared, evident with her little body shivering from time to time, Ethan\'s presence somewhat had a calming effect on her.

She was starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, they would be able to turn the situation around and free her sisters from the Fairy Queen\'s Mind Control Magic.

Half an hour later, Ethan slowed down his speed as he entered the water passage that led to a lake-like body of water.

Of course, it wasn\'t really a lake. The water of the Domain was coming from the Sacred Altar itself, which flowed outwards, creating the wetlands that the Fairies were currently living in.

As Ethan slowly swam toward the Sacred Altar, an amused voice spread in the surroundings.

"What\'s this?" Celestia spoke in a teasing tone. "Someone actually thought that they could sneak inside my altar undetected? You look down on me too much, Human."

Aria, who was inside Ethan\'s mouth, immediately curled up into a fetal position and covered her face with her hands. Her body trembled non-stop, thinking that the Fairy Queen had discovered them.

Ethan also thought that he had been discovered.

But before he could do anything, a scream reverberated in the surroundings, making him raise his head to look above him.

There, he saw a young man, writhing in pain as he clutched his chest with his right hand.

\'Vladimir?\' Ethan\'s eyes widened after recognizing the person who was currently bound by several chains made up of water.

"I haven\'t seen a Human for a very long time," Celestia\'s Spirit hovered above the water as she slowly flew toward Vladimir. "But all of you are still as vile and ugly as I remember."

"L-Let me go!" Vladimir pleaded as he struggled from his bindings. "I am willing to be your servant!"

"Servant?" Celestia sneered. "Why would I make a disgusting worm like you my servant? You reek of blood and arrogance. I can tell that you\'ve killed many, yet you do not feel the least bit guilty about it.

"Such a vile creature, lower than a worm. At least worms have their uses, but you? The only thing you\'re good for is food fed to fish."

Vladimir continued to struggle as he tried to free himself from the chains that bound him. However, when Celestia came within his range, he flicked his wand from his hand and chanted a spell.

"Magna Fulgur Tempestate!"

The wand shot toward the sky and unleashed golden lightning bolts, which all descended in Celestia\'s direction.

Lightning was a very powerful element, capable of dealing great damage to all creatures, with the exception of those who had an immunity in it.

It was also immensely effective against Specters, Ghosts, and other Ethereal Type Monsters.

Since he was dealing with a spirit, Vladimir took an all-or-nothing gamble by using Celestia\'s weakness against her.

Or so he thought.

Countless fish floated to the surface of the lake as the thunderstorm descended upon Celestia.

Almost all the fish in the vicinity died after being electrocuted by the golden lightning bolts, with the exception of a Salmon, who was watching the battle right beside the Altar that Celestia had abandoned.

His body naturally repelled the electrical currents, protecting him and the small fairy inside his mouth.

White smoke rose from the surface of the water as Vladimir panted for breath.

He was wearing artifacts that prevented himself from getting electrocuted by his own attack.

There were many occasions when he had to summon his Trump Card at close range, especially in a body of water. Because of this, he was always equipped with magical accessories that helped repel lightning and electricity, lowering his chances of getting hurt by his own spell.

However, since he had summoned a Great Lightning Storm at a very close range, he still suffered minor injuries, with all of his hairs standing on end.

When the white mist in the surroundings cleared, Vladimir couldn\'t help but gasp in shock upon seeing the Fairy Queen unscathed by his all-out attack.

"Had the Humans become dumber over the countless years I\'ve been sealed in this Domain?" Celestia asked in a disdainful tone. "Did you really think that I, the Water Fairy Queen, would be afraid of Lightning Bolts? Foolish mortal, your stupidity astounds me."

A moment later, Vladimir\'s blood-curdling scream spread in the Sacred Altar as a water spear pierced his leg, drawing blood.

"At least you scream well." Celestia chuckled before she snapped her fingers, summoning more Water Spears that soon pierced through Vladimir\'s body. Blood seeped through his robes, dyeing the fabric and the surrounding water crimson.

Celestia giggled evilly as she looked at the young man writhing and screaming in pain.

His entire body was now like a pin cushion, but instead of needles, dozens of Water Spikes stuck out of his body.

Vladimir had many regrets, but the greatest one at the moment was coming to the Sacred Altar and attempting to steal the Epic Legacy Tome inside.

If only he hadn\'t thought too highly of himself and hadn\'t overestimated his Invisibility and Transformation Spells, then he wouldn\'t be dying right now.

Knowing that he was about to die, the young man slowly raised his head to look at the Sacred Altar in the distance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the prize that he sought after.

But the only thing he saw was the Epic Legacy Tome being pulled by a string made up of water, falling straight toward the lake\'s surface.

Vladimir watched in surprise as the Tome hit the water and disappeared completely without even making a splash.

"Ha… Hahaha… Hahaha!" Vladimir laughed out loud, making the Water Fairy Queen sneer.

Celestia thought that the young man had gone crazy from being tortured, but his next words made the arrogant Fairy Queen show a rare expression of shock on her face.

"Hahaha… Stupid Spirit," Vladimir laughed as blood flowed from his lips. "You act so high and mighty, but you\'re dumb as well. While you\'re happily torturing me, your precious Legacy Tome has been stolen away from right under your nose!"

Celestia immediately turned around to look at the Altar, only to find that the Epic Legacy Tome, which held half of her power, was no longer there.

The Tome was bound by chains and placed inside a protective barrier, which could only be dispelled by the Gatekeeper of the Altar.

Celestia was confident that she could detect Aria\'s presence as soon as she entered the boundary of the lake of the Sacred Altar.

This confidence made her completely lower her guard, for she believed that no one could get past her.

But this confidence of hers was shattered when she realized that someone had taken the Legacy Tome away while she was distracted with Vladimir.

"Who dares?!" Celestia roared and raised her hands, manipulating the entire lake to rise like a fountain.

Suddenly, she noticed something move from the corner of her vision.

A single Salmon jumped toward the border of the lake, falling head-first on the other side and swimming away as if its life depended on it.

A moment later, Celestia\'s scream spread inside the Legacy Domain like the booming of thunder. The noise pulled the attention of all the Fairies and the survivors whom they were hunting, making them look in the direction where a giant fountain of water soared high toward the sky.
