Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

The Red Chameleon extended its long tongue, aiming at Ethan's direction.

The young man didn't back down and threw Areadbhair toward the monster's preemptive strike with everything he had.

When the giant tongue and the flaming spear collided with each other, the Spear tore through the former, setting it ablaze.

A screech emerged from the Red Chameleon's lips as the pain from Areadbhair's flames made it lose its hold on the sky.

It then fell on the bottomless abyss, never to be seen again.

At that moment, several parts of the sky collapsed, and more Red Chameleons started to crawl out from it.

"Make them lose their footing!" Ethan shouted. "If we make them fall into the pit, that will be enough!"

Everyone nodded their heads, and began to use their long distance attacks at the Giant Chameleons, whose numbers had surpassed ten.

Ethan once again hurled Areadbhair at a chameleon who was aggressively crawling in their direction.

Nicole, who was not far from him, was also hurling countless Ice Spears at the other Chameleons, but they were way faster than they looked.

Even when some of the Ice Spears managed to hit their targets, the Chameleons didn't fall off and simply endured the spears that pierced their bodies.

Hecate hesitated for a while, but she eventually cast a spell in the distance.

The First Elemental that she summoned was a Fire Elemental, but it simply fell into the bottomless pit because it had nothing to stand on.

Undeterred, Hecate summoned another, and this time, she got lucky.

A Wind Elemental appeared. Fortunately, instead of attacking Hecate, it prioritized the Invaders who had dared to trespass on its homeworld.

Lyall, Conall, and Godfrey couldn't really do anything because there was a great danger that they might also fall into the bottomless pit of World's End.

The Vampire Lord didn't dare take flight because he had a feeling that once he passed a certain boundary, he would lose his ability to fly and fall helplessly from the sky.

Umlo, the Kobold, and Hilger, the Dwarf, could only watch helplessly while holding their weapons as well.

The only one who could attack the Giant Red Chameleons from the sky was Ethan, Nicole, Quarra, and the Wind Elemental that Hecate summoned.

Dainsleif, who deemed that he would be able to help, also emerged from Ethan's back and concentrated his power of Gravity on the nearest Red Chameleon, pulling it off from the sky.

One by one, the Red Chameleons fell, but for each one they took down, more would take their place.

Ethan roared and manipulated the Sea that was falling into the void and bent it to his will.

Heeding his call, the water rose up like live Sea Serpents and attacked the Red Chameleons en masse.

These Sea Serpents bit on the Chameleons' bodies and threw them toward the void.

Even when faced with such overwhelming numbers, Ethan's group managed to stand their ground.

However, after several minutes, more areas in the sky started to fall off, and more Red Chameleons emerged from them.

The Chameleons didn't just watch as they were attacked—they started to fight back.

The majority of them started spitting out Fireballs as if they were magical cannons with unlimited ammunition.

The only saving grace was that Ethan could manipulate the Sea, summoning countless Giant Water Spears to disperse the Fireballs headed in their direction.

"Sing with me," Ethan roared. "Illumina!"

The Mermaid Princess materialized above his head, and immediately pointed her fingers over the other Fireballs that Ethan's Water Bombardment had missed.

Several water balls appeared around Illumina, and a second later, they turned into water beams that pierced through the Fireballs, making them explode mid-air.

As the battle increased in intensity, it was clear that Ethan was the one holding back most of the invaders from beyond the boundary of their world.

Hecate had decided to trust her gut instincts and summoned five more Elementals.

This time, she summoned four Ancient Elementals of Fire, Water, Earth, and Darkness.

She made sure to summon them to places where they could have a proper foothold, along the edges of the cliff where they were at.

Just as she expected, the Ancient Elementals glanced at her briefly before shifting their attention to the monsters whom they deemed to be a greater threat than Hecate.

Although she felt drained because summoning powerful Elementals ate a large chunk of her magical reserves, the young lady calmly drank a rejuvenation potion that Ethan handed to her to recover.

It didn't take long for Ethan to understand that their situation was more dangerous than they could handle.

His magical reserves weren't unlimited, and the two Witches accompanying him were also reaching their limit.

Of course, he still had the orbs of magic stored inside his heart, which came from Luna's Moon Magic.

Even so, he wasn't confident that it would be enough to sustain a battle of attrition.

Using his Resonance steadily drained his magical reserves. Not only that, but he was also actively casting spells, which further increased the rate of depletion of his magic power.

Five minutes later, Ethan was nearing his limit, so he didn't hesitate to use one of the Orbs, filling up his reserves in a heartbeat.

'At this rate, my magic will run out again in ten minutes,' Ethan gritted his teeth as more monsters emerged from the sky.

The battle seemed unending, making every minute that passed feel like eternity.

Nicole was the one who first collapsed, holding onto her chest as she heavily gasped for breath.

White smoke oozed out of her body, and the temperature around them started to turn cold.

Her beautiful long hair was covered in white frost, and her lips had turned blue.

Quarra, the Drow, had already run out of arrows, and was relying on dark magic to continue fighting.

Umlo and the Dwarf, Hilger, had run back to the passage to inform their comrades that an invasion was taking place at World's End.

Although they knew that their warning might be a bit late, they still decided to go because there was nothing they could do to help the battle.

Ten minutes later, Ethan bit his lip, drawing blood as his magical reserves once again hit rock bottom.

Using Luna's last orb of moon magic, he fought alongside Illumina, Dainsleif, and the Elementals.

Just as he thought that he was once again about to reach his limit, a blizzard suddenly blew out of nowhere.

Nicole's body hovered in the air, with her eyes shining brightly.

Four pairs of icy wings emerged from her back as she pointed her finger towards the sky.

"Begone, foul beasts!"

A voice that didn't belong to Nicole emerged from her nearly frozen lips.

The young lady drew a line in the sky, and wherever her finger moved, all the Red Chameleons on its path instantly turned into Ice Statues and fell on the abyss without even managing to utter a scream.

Ethan could instantly tell that someone else had possessed his best friend's body, but he didn't have the leeway to shift his attention in her direction for a long time.

The blizzard intensified and turned into a hurricane, sucking the red chameleons in the sky.

Suddenly, Nicole coughed out a mouthful of blood, making her stagger.

"This body has reached its limit," Nicole said, without even bothering to wipe the blood on her lips. "It's all up to you, boy."

After saying those words, the Icy Wings behind Nicole's back closed and wrapped themselves around her body, encasing the young lady in a block of ice.

Ethan, who was the only left with the ability to fight, roared in anger as he used the last of his strength to cover the entirety of World's End inside his Domain.

"Celestial Aria!" Ethan shouted as he forcibly pulled the entirety of World's End inside his Celestial Domain.

Illumina, who no longer had a power source to keep his manifestation active, caught Ethan as he fell backward on the water's surface before slowly dispersing.

The young man watched as the Fairies inside his Domain shouted in anger and engaged the countless Red Chameleon that had invaded their haven.

But just as Ethan's vision was surrounded by Darkness, he saw the two Constellations above his head glow brightly.

Sebastian and his Other Half had also entered the battle, making sure to protect the young man who had entrusted everything on their shoulders.

A battle of attrition was waged inside Ethan's world.

Lyall, Conall, Godfrey, and Merric, who weren't able to do anything earlier, finally joined the fray and fought with everything they had alongside Ethan's supporters.

Red blood dyed the Celestial World as an unconscious young man lay on the water's surface, protected by Hecate, who was now holding him in her embrace.
