Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 481 The Origin Of Magic [Part 5]

Due to the limitations placed on Ethan’s body, a battle of attrition was something very disadvantageous to him.

However, he didn’t have a choice because his enemy was fighting like a turtle!

Not only was the barrage of lightning bolts unable to pierce the Chained Paragon’s Defenses, but the Water Tornadoes also couldn’t make it budge.

However, there was one more annoying part about Professor Barret’s fighting style.

While the Chained Paragon had taken a pure defensive stance, covering its body with countless chains, the Spiked Wrecking Ball was still very much a threat and was attacking Ethan remotely.

But that wasn’t all. free webnov el.comfreewebnove l.com

The White Chain, which could pass through space, would always pick the right moment to grab his foot, leg, arm, hand, and even neck, which almost allowed the flaming meteorite to hit him several times.

Fortunately, Lilith was there to cut off the annoying white chain that would attack Ethan from his blind spots, allowing the teenage boy to dodge the wrecking ball in the nick of time.

‘The rogue Wizards and Witches that Professor Barret has caught must really hate him a lot,’ Sebastian couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly after seeing how the Ex-Magistratus fought.

‘True.’ Ethan’s Other Half nodded. ‘I almost feel sorry for them.’

Lilith, who was perched on top of Ethan’s shoulder, was paying close attention to her surroundings.

Since the surroundings were dark, she could only jump back to Ethan’s shadow if a light source was present.

Although the young man had managed to fix this problem by making the Sea God’s Trident’s glow cast a shadow behind him, she was still hard-pressed to jump over and over again.

Aware of this inconvenience, she decided to decrease her size so that she could perch on Ethan’s shoulder, allowing her to react quickly every time the white chain made an appearance.

Ten minutes later, the sun above their heads reappeared, and the sea returned to its calm state.

Ethan knelt above the sea, leaning on his Trident as he panted for breath.

While this was happening, a shadow loomed over his body, making him raise his head.

The dome of chains opened up, revealing the Chained Paragon and Professor Barret, whose robes were still completely dry despite how wet their battle was.

“Hello there, Miss Cat,” Professor Barret. “What’s your name?”

Lilith didn’t answer and even hissed at the Professor, who was bullying her Master.

“Her name is Lilith,” Ethan answered on her behalf. “She’s my Familiar.”

Wizards and Witches could have familiars, so this was nothing new.

Ethan introduced his Protector so that Professor Barret wouldn’t kick her out of the academy, especially now that she had made her presence known.

“A Familiar?” The corner of Professor Barret’s lips curled up into a smile because he had long been aware of Lilith’s existence.

He just found it funny that Ethan would use the term Familiar towards a Catkin who was in disguise.

In short, Professor Barret knew that Lilith was actually a Catkin, yet the young man didn’t know about it, which he found funny.

But since he didn’t plan on saying anything, he just nodded his head in understanding.

“Okay, so Lilith, it will be best if you just sit tight.” Professor Barret snapped his finger, and a black chain wrapped itself around the black cat, holding her in place.

Ethan, who thought that the battle was already over, didn’t expect that Professor Barret would still capture his Protector when the outcome of the battle was already decided.

It was not only Lilith that the chains had bound, but Ethan’s Sea God’s Trident as well.

Of course, the young man refused to let it go, but this wasn’t a problem for Professor Barret.

He simply swung the chain that had coiled around Ethan’s weapon, making both the Trident and the teenage boy spin around.

‘Damn, this guy is a sadist.’ Sebastian grimaced. ‘My boy is already down for the count, but he still kicks him when he’s down.’

Ethan’s Other Half remained silent because his greatest fear was becoming a reality.

‘He is truly stripping Ethan of his Core Magic,’ Ethan’s Other Half thought. ‘Should I step in or not?’

Right now, he was truly in a dilemma.

On one hand, he knew that this training would not only strengthen Ethan, but it would also allow him to learn more about his Origin Magic.

On the other hand, he was afraid that if Ethan understood the secret of his Origin Magic, he would come face to face with a Progenitor, who held one of the powers that was hidden in his bloodline.

‘Should I stop him, or should I allow him to make the pact?’ Ethan’s Other Half truly couldn’t decide easily. After all, this was a turning point in Ethan’s life.

Stopping it would be a sin, but not stopping it could lead to consequences that even he couldn’t fathom.

Suddenly, he was broken out of his daze when he heard a loud splashing sound.

Ethan had lost his grip over his Sea God’s Trident and was sent flying towards the sea, where he crashed heavily into its surface.

Perhaps due to the impact of his crash or due to the exhaustion he received from the battle, Ethan lost consciousness.

His body then slowly descended on the water, with no one to stop its fall.

Lilith, who was bound by the chains, screeched loudly as she tried to call out to her Master, who was slowly but surely getting farther away from her.

Professor Barret simply hovered above the water, with his hands placed behind his back.

His eyes were locked onto Ethan’s body, but he didn’t do anything to stop his descent.

Illumina, who had already lost her power long ago, had returned to being a wand.

However, her connection with Ethan was still very strong, allowing her to monitor his current state.

Just as the last bubble of air escaped Ethan’s lips, the bloodline of the Tide Bringer inside his body worked in overdrive.

Since the young man obtained this powerful Legacy, it was impossible for him to drown in the sea even if he were to lose consciousness and descend to its deepest parts.

Professor Barret understood this very well.

If there was even a sign that Ethan’s life was in danger, he would not hesitate to use the White Chain to bring him back to the surface in an instant.

But seeing that his body was becoming stable, the Professor decided to wait and see if the Young Man would be able to grasp the power of his Origin Magic, which would allow him to take that next step, in unlocking the mysteries of his body and soul.
