Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 528 I’m Not Really Free Right Now

A few minutes before all hell broke loose in the Sacred Altar…

Ethan swam past Celestia’s Spirit, who was moving toward Vladimir’s direction.

At first, he thought that he was the one whom Celestia had discovered. Fortunately, it turned out to be someone else, and the realization made him sigh in relief.

He positioned himself as close to the altar as possible, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

“Don’t do anything, and wait for my signal,” Ethan said to Aria through telepathy. “As soon as I give you the signal, you will remove the seal from the Legacy Tome and dispel the barrier protecting it. I’ll handle the rest.”

“Un!” Aria nodded, then took deep breaths in order to calm herself down.

Both of them knew that they only had one chance to escape this place alive, so they were hoping that Vladimir would distract Celestia long enough to allow them to make their move.

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait for a long time because Vladimir unleashed his strongest Trump Card the moment Celestia came within his strike range.

“Magna Fulgur Tempestate!”

The surface of the water lit up as countless golden lightning bolts descended from the heavens.

Aria, who was about to scream, found her mouth covered by a layer of water, preventing her from making any noise.

Ethan focused on repelling the electrical currents that were headed in his direction to prevent Aria from getting affected by it.

He wasn’t afraid of getting hit by lightning bolts because it was a power that belonged to him… However, the same couldn't be said for the Fairy, so he had to keep her safe no matter what.

When the lightning barrage ended, a white mist rose up from the water, lowering the visibility to zero.

Ethan knew that now was the time to take action, so he coaxed Aria to remove the seal from the Altar.

His wand appeared beside him, ready to cast a spell that would pull the Tome from the altar.

It took Aria nearly half a minute to undo the chains that bound the Epic Legacy Tome and dispel the barrier protecting it.

When the barrier disappeared, Ethan’s wand conjured a string made up of water, which wrapped itself around the Legacy Tome.

A second later, the wand gave the string a firm tug, making the Tome fall toward the surface of the lake.

Ethan, who was waiting for the right moment, immediately stored the Tome inside Morgan’s Ring as soon as it landed on the water.

He wasn't sure if Morgan’s Ring could store the book, but he believed that since it was not an ordinary Storage Ring, it must be possible for it to store a Legacy Tome inside of it.

Fortunately, his gamble worked, surprising even him.

“Swim away now!” Aria screamed using telepathy, snapping Ethan out of his daze.

Not caring if they were discovered or not, Ethan swam as fast as he possibly could.

He made a beeline towards the edge of the lake, where the water passage he used to enter was located.

When he was just a few meters away from safety, a roar filled with anger reached him.

“Who dares?!” Celestia roared.

Ethan, who was only three meters away from the underwater passage, found himself and the water around him being tossed high up in the air, making Aria scream from inside his mouth. freeweb novel.co m

The wand, which was hovering by his side, encapsulated his body within a water bubble, allowing Ethan to regain control of his body.

“Jump now!” Illumina’s voice spoke inside his mind, prompting him to do as she said.

Using all the strength he could muster, Ethan jumped, using the water as a springboard to get on the other side of the lake.

Ethan briefly turned his head around, locking eyes with the crazed Water Fairy Queen, who was looking in his direction with hatred.

Suddenly, time seemed to stop at that exact moment, almost giving Ethan a heart attack.

“Um, I know that this is not the right time, but I’d just like to congratulate you for unlocking one of the secret features of Morgan’s Ring!” Fortis Dud said with a smile.

“Sir, can we talk later? I’m not really free right now.” Ethan, whose body was completely frozen in place, felt a very strong urge to give the Will of Fortis Dud a good “fish slapping” for picking this critical moment to appear before him.

“Fine, fine. Let’s talk later.” Fortis Dud glanced at the Fairy Queen, whose looks could easily kill before shifting his gaze back to Ethan. “Make sure to survive, okay? Also, it will be best not to destroy that Tome. It is very, very, veeeeeeery compatible with you.”

“Okay!”

“Don’t destroy it, okay?”

“Okay!”

“Make sure not to destr—”

“If you don’t release me right now, I swear to my Grandma Agnes that I will destroy this Tome even if it’s the last thing I do!”

Fortis Dud coughed lightly before turning into particles of light.

A moment later, time returned to normal. Ethan braced himself to dive headfirst in the water and swim as far away as he could.

He caused a small splash when he landed on the surface of the water. But after that, he traveled underwater like a torpedo, heading as far away as he could before all hell broke loose around him.

Celestia’s roar made the entire domain tremble, making all lives inside of it realize that something had gone terribly wrong in the direction of the Sacred Altar.

“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” Aria said repeatedly, as if she was chanting a prayer. “Swim! Swim! Swim! Swim! Swim!”

Suddenly, Ethan felt a strong magical presence behind him, forcing him to make evasive actions.

In the location where he was swimming earlier, a giant water spear descended and impaled itself in the water.

Ethan deftly evaded the other Water Spears which Celestia had hurled in his direction, hoping that one of them would luckily hit the thief who had stolen half of her powers and all of her knowledge.

Both Ethan and Celestia didn’t know that somewhere in Midgard, Oberon was laughing out loud and clapping his hands happily while shouting Bravo!

He was quite impressed that Ethan managed to steal the Epic Legacy Tome without alerting Celestia at first.

If Vladimir hadn’t said anything, Ethan might have been able to escape undetected.

But alas, someone as ambitious as Vladimir only treated others as a stepping stone and not the other way around. If he was going to die, he would drag others with him!

Celestia hatefully glared at the Salmon and unleashed one long-ranged spell after the other.

Now that the Water Fairy Queen had locked the Salmon in her sights, she would not let it go no matter what.

From the deepest part of Ethan’s Sea of Consciousness, where his Three Origin Magic were hidden, one of them opened their eyes to look at what was happening to Ethan.

A faint smile appeared on that being’s face, finding this sudden turn of events quite amusing.

“Celestia, it’s good to see you again.”

Two minutes later, it once again closed its eyes and went to sleep. It was yet not his turn to take action, and Ethan still hadn’t unlocked the requirements to use his powers.

Until then, he would wait patiently and sincerely pray that his descendant would be able to survive the wrath of the Queen who had been sealed away for hundreds of years.
