Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Having already experienced a similar situation when they faced off against the Harpies in the sea, no one in the flying ship panicked.

Although their airship couldn\'t fly high in the sky, it could still hover three meters over the red sand.

However, their speed had also decreased by half. No matter how Merric and the others tried to increase the pace of the flying ship, nothing worked.

But they also understood that this might be a restriction placed over the domain, so they soon stopped worrying about it and focused on flying in the Northeast direction.

However, after an hour of traveling in the desert, Ethan asked Merric to stop the flying ship for a while because he wanted to test something out.

As soon as the ship stopped moving, Ethan jumped off on the ship and landed on the red sand.

He then picked up a handful of it and slightly pulled his fingers apart, letting the wind blow it away.

The sand was like fine red powder, making the young man wonder if he really was holding sand.

\'There are faint traces of magic in the sand,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'It is highly possible that there is a powerful magical core somewhere in this area that converted this entire place into a red desert.\'

\'Also, if the sand has traces of magic, then the creatures living here are definitely powerful,\' Sebastian said. \'Only strong monsters can thrive in this kind of environment. You should be careful, Ethan. That Chudo Yudo might be an extremely powerful monster.\'

Ethan nodded in understanding before walking a few steps over the sand.

Just as he expected, it required a lot of effort to walk over the sand. Also, since the sand continuously shifted under his feet, it might get tricky during a fight.

After a few minutes of observation, Ethan returned to the ship and asked Merric to continue their journey.

Godfrey looked at the young man calmly, but deep inside, he was looking forward to how Ethan and his comrades would deal with the ancient monster that was hiding somewhere in the desert.

The Vampire Lord knew that the moment the Flying Ship had entered the Red Wastes, the horrifying multi-headed dragon, Chudo Yudo, had already detected their presence.

\'It\'s only a matter of time before all of you become dragon\'s poop.\' Godfrey laughed internally. \'This is what you get for messing with me.\'

Godfrey couldn\'t harm Ethan and his friend directly or indirectly, but the journey towards World\'s End was filled with dangers.

No matter what route they took, it would be very dangerous. However, the Red Wastes was the most dangerous of them all.

Since he was only carrying out the part of the agreement of taking Ethan to World\'s End, the contract didn\'t punish him for picking such a dangerous route.

It was a loophole that the Vampire Lord was very keen on exploiting.

But as he was anticipating the deaths of the people around him, a teasing voice spoke from behind him, almost making him jump out in fright.

"You must be looking forward to our deaths, huh?"

Godfrey took a few steps back before turning around to see Lyall standing a few meters away from him.

"You shouldn\'t voice your thoughts out loud, you know?" Lyall said with a smirk. "You want us to die that much, huh? You must have been humiliated after getting your ass handed to you."

For a brief moment, the Vampire Lord thought that he had really spoken his thoughts out loud. But after careful consideration, he believed that he wasn\'t stupid enough to do such a thing.

However, even if he didn\'t say anything, the expression on his face was enough to tell Lyall the truth.

"I can read minds, you know?" Lyall walked toward the Vampire Lord, her smile widening.

"Y-You can?" Godfrey asked.

"Yes," Lyall replied with a smile. "I can."

Ethan and Lyall\'s brother, Conall, did their best to keep their expressions from breaking as they listened to the young lady\'s bullsh*t.

Of course, Lyall actually couldn\'t read people\'s minds. But that didn\'t mean that she was unable to discern what the Vampire Lord was thinking. Because of this, it was very easy to bluff and make Godfrey wary of her.

"So make sure to tone it down a bit, okay?" Lyall said. "It\'s a bit annoying when you look at me and think that I\'m a very hot and sexy lady."

"You almost had me back there," Godfrey commented. "But now I know you\'re just bluffing."

The Vampire Lord fixed his clothes before glancing at the East.

Just now, he sensed a fluctuation in the distance and knew that Chudo Yudo was on its way to meet them.

Ethan, who also sensed the approaching danger, summoned his Sea God\'s Trident.

"Everyone, get ready," Ethan ordered. "Something is coming."

Everyone on the ship immediately took battle stations as the Catkins aimed their magical cannons in the direction where Ethan was pointing at.

The Flying Ship only had two Magical Cannons because it was not really a battleship.

The cannons were just an added bonus when the Catkins purchased the ship.

Ethan glanced over the horizon and saw a small black dot that was slowly getting bigger and bigger with each passing second.

"Let\'s intercept it!" Ethan shouted as he summoned his Wind Dancer. "Merric, don\'t let the flying ship anywhere near it!"

A moment later, the blue-haired young man was hovering a few meters above the sand and charging straight toward the three-headed Dragon, which was over a hundred meters long.

Nicole and Hecate summoned their flying brooms and followed behind Ethan.

Lyall and Conall, on the other hand, jumped off the ship and started to run on the sand.

Their pace was slower compared to Ethan and the others due to how difficult it was to run on the sand.

Godfrey watched them go before casually opening a bottle of wine, which he poured into the glass that he had prepared for this occasion.

"Don\'t die too fast, okay?" Godfrey said as he swirled the wine in his glass. "This better be good."

Merric and the other Catkins wanted to fight alongside their Master.

But they also understood why Ethan ordered them to not come near the Dragon—if their ship was destroyed, their journey would be a lot harder.

In the end, they had no choice but to watch as their Young Master and his friends fought against the Giant Dragon, who had ruled over the Red Wastes for hundreds of years.
