Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Countless Progenitors and Colossi were fighting on land, air, and sea.

The armies of different races waged war against each other, and blood spilled, dyeing the world in the colors of their blood.

It was the Era when Deities roamed the land and made the world tremble as they battled each other.

Ashmedai, as well as the other Demonic Progenitors, laughed as they went on a rampage, killing those who dared to oppose them.

Ethan watched them win.

He watched them lose.

He watched as a new cycle of destruction began.

Suddenly, all the battles in the mortal realm ended. The Progenitors took their wars to the Lands of Saraqael and raised the stakes.

They were no longer fighting for a piece of land.

No.

They were fighting, and the prize would be the worlds where they had originally resided.

The Nine Realms and beyond were fair game, and to this day, several of those worlds had been conquered by the victors of these battles.

The Valentin Family was one of the families who were protecting Midgard in the Lands of Saraqael.

Fighting alongside them were the King and Queen of Fairies, Oberon and Titania, as well as several others who didn\'t wish for Midgard to fall into the hands of the invaders from different worlds.

Unfortunately, Midgard wasn\'t united.

The Tuatha De Dannan, the Fomorians, the Firbolgs, the Milesians, and the other powerful races dwelling in Midgard were fighting each other instead of fighting together to protect it.

Alliances were formed.

Alliances were broken.

And alliances were formed again.

But this time, the pacts were stronger and could not easily be broken like they had been in the past.

From within that chaotic world, three beings looked at Ethan and gave him a brief nod.

One was Mimir, the Wise Giant who gave him Wisdom.

The other was Ashmedai, the Lord of Desires, who had just taught Ethan the power of Trickery.

Last but not the least was an eight-winged angel, whose face the young man couldn\'t see due to the light emanating from the Celestial\'s body.

"In time, you and I will have a chance to talk," the Celestial said softly. "At that time, I will share with you the terrible wonders that I have come to know. Ashmedai hadn\'t told you that Darkness holds much worse than mere trickery and bogeymen."

The Celestial then waved his hand, and the world around them shattered.

"The time of dreaming has ended," the Celestial stated. "It is time for you to return. But remember—now is not the time for you to recover your full powers.

"Use the power of Faith well, and through it, you will find the path that will allow you to break the shackles binding you. And when the time comes, the hunters who wish to hunt you will become the hunted.

"I will meet you on that day and bestow upon you the Legacy that will make you complete."

Ethan felt his spirit being pulled to a faraway place where these horrifying battles were waged.

Seconds passed…

Minutes passed…

Hours passed…

Finally, just as the sun rose up from the east, Ethan slowly opened his eyes.

He found himself staring at a familiar ceiling and feeling the familiar embrace of the two ladies who loved him very much.

It took him a few seconds to register his surroundings, but the moment he did, a sigh escaped his lips.

"I\'m back," Ethan muttered.

Perhaps hearing his voice or sensing that he was already awake, Emma and Lilith opened their eyes to look at him.

"Good morning, Ethan," Emma said.

"Good morning, Master," Lilith greeted.

"Good morning to the two of you," Ethan replied before kissing both of their cheeks.

Propping himself up, he found himself devoid of any clothes, which didn\'t really surprise him.

Usually, when he and his lovers slept together, they would be naked, feeling each other\'s skin and sharing each other\'s warmth.

"There\'s something that I need to tell the two of you," Ethan said as the two ladies also sat up from the bed, showing their seductive bodies to him.

Ethan told them why he had been abandoned, knowing that the younger generations of the Protector Clans didn\'t know about the reason behind his disappearance.

Emma was still a baby back then, while Lilith was less than five years old.

They were still too young to understand why they had lost their Young Master, who should have been raised in Caer Wydion under their protection.

When Ethan came to the part where he couldn\'t make love to them, the two girls glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Your safety is more important to us, Ethan," Emma replied after a minute had passed. "Besides, even if we can\'t do that, there are plenty of ways we can deepen our relationship."

A mischievous smile appeared on Emma\'s face as she reached out to touch Little Ethan, who didn\'t look like he was holding back at all.

Lilith, on the other hand, blushed because she knew what Emma was referring to.

Even if the young man couldn\'t make love to them, they could still do many things without endangering his safety.

As if wanting to prove their point, the two took Ethan to the bathroom. The three of them stayed there for more than an hour before leaving the room, looking very refreshed and very satisfied.

Ethan didn\'t expect that he had pent up that much.

He had forgotten about these kinds of things in the Lands of Alastor because he had spent most of his time taking care of his sister and Princess Ramona.

Even when he had been with Illumina, he never did anything out of hand.

So the moment Emma and Lilith took care of his needs, he was raring to go, which made him shake his head helplessly.

The two beautiful ladies who just had an early breakfast dutifully helped him put on his clothes and made sure that he looked presentable.

"The two of you will accompany me to dine with my mother and sister," Ethan said with a smile.

"If that is your wish, Ethan," Emma replied.

"I will do as you say, Master." Lilith nodded.

When the three arrived at the dining hall, they were greeted by Joanne, who was currently spreading jam on some freshly baked bread.

Catherine was also seated and was talking with Enzo and Wallace.

But when Ethan arrived, the three immediately stopped their discussion as if they didn\'t want the young man to hear about it.

"Good morning, everyone," Ethan greeted as he took a seat beside Joanne, who seemed to be in a good mood.

""Good morning.""

Ethan decided to eat first before chatting with anyone because he was feeling incredibly hungry.

The three adults stared at each other before exchanging a knowing smile.

They were planning to give Ethan a surprise, which was something he would learn after he returned to the Shire Continent.

This idea came from Wallace, and Enzo supported it.

Thinking that it was indeed a good idea, Catherine agreed to it.

She believed that this was something that even her husband would agree to. Not only would it give them some peace of mind, but it would also make Ethan happy.

Catherine knew that it would still take quite a bit of time before her family would be truly together again.

So for now, she was willing to take the necessary steps in order to make that happen.

The beautiful lady also needed to convince her husband to talk to Ethan before he left Caer Wydion. Until the two of them had a proper talk, there would be a distance between the father and son pair.
