Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 830: Arrival At World’s End

When the Beholder died, the denizens of the underground Maze of Morgeth became even more wary of the newcomers who had entered their domain.

The Drows, a race that liked to fight, had to reassess whether fighting against Ethan's party would be detrimental for them or not.

In the end, they decided that it would be best to find out their objectives before making a

move.

The Dwarves and Kobolds, as well as the other races, each sent a representative to the young man's group to ask them where they were headed.

When Ethan answered that they were heading to World's End, all of the locals thought that they must've lost their minds.

However, a few of them were intrigued, so one representative of each race decided to accompany Ethan's group and see for themselves if the young man would be able to survive an encounter with the Progenitor of Magic.

A Drow named Quarra.

A Dwarf named Hilger.

And a Kobold who went by the name Umlo.

Originally, he didn't plan to allow the representatives of the other races to follow them.

However, Sebastian said that rejecting their offer might make things complicated and potentially result in a grudge between Ethan's group and the other races.

Since he didn't want any conflict at this point in time, Ethan reluctantly agreed.

Lyall, who was quite curious about the races she normally wouldn't see everyday, asked them what living within the Maze of Morgeth was like.

The Drows said that the maze was a convenient place to live in because they could easily go to many other places in Midgard with the Underground tunnels.

As for the Dwarves and the Kobolds, they were fond of digging, finding ores and precious gems, and doing a bit of tinkering-like blacksmithing and jewel smithing.

So just like the Drows, they found living here convenient for they were able to trade with the other Kingdoms in Midgard by traveling through the tunnels.

When Lyall asked if other humans used the underground passages to travel, the three representatives shook their heads.

"We have formed an alliance to repel any large group of humans who'd try to travel through these tunnels," the Drow Quarra explained. "However, it is not impossible to travel through these tunnels. We'll let them pass as long as they are able to gain permission from two of the three Rulers of the Maze of Morgeth.

"Usually, a hefty price must be paid in order to enter. After all, not only would they be able to travel along these tunnels, but they would also be escorted by our people so that they can arrive safely at their destination.

"In the past, many Humans had been allowed to use these tunnels. However, they got greedy and attempted to take over our Domains, probably for the precious ores and minerals," the Dwarf, Hilger, commented. "But they underestimated us too much, so we buried all of them with the might of our alliance."

"Those were good times." The Kobold Umlo nodded. "But I'm glad that nothing like that has happened for the past few decades."

"Then, what about us?" Ethan asked with curiosity. "Why did you guys not attack us?"

The three representatives exchanged glances with each other before smiling at the same time. "Because the path you took is different," Umlo answered. "You came from the Guardian's Path, which meant that you got permission from his Excellency, Lady Eterna. Only those who are able to defeat her or have been recognized by her may enter that path."

"In short, the Drows, the Dwarves, and the Kobolds cannot hurt you, for that is the agreement that we have with Lady Hecate," Quorra stated. "Lady Eterna is her Familiar, and also the Gatekeeper of one of the main entrances of the Maze of Morgeth."

Ethan finally understood the reason why the other races only used scrying spells or observed them from afar.

He had no doubt that if any of these races became serious, they would not have an easy time traveling through the underground tunnels.

'Fortunately, they are not hostile-at least for now,' Ethan thought.

Finally, after traveling for nearly eight days underground, the young man and his entourage looked at something that blew their mind away.

"T-This is World's End?" Lyall, who was the most chatty of them all, couldn't help but be nearly speechless by the sight in front of them.

A bottomless void, where the sea water fell like a waterfall, was a very surreal sight to see.

Red lightning flashed in the distance, illuminating the place in a way that gave someone the realization that they had truly reached the end of the world.

"A fitting name," Conall said after a minute of silence had passed. "But where is the Domain of the Progenitor of Magic?"

"It's there," Hecate said as she pointed in front of them.

"I don't see anything?" Lyall squinted her eyes at the place where Hecate was pointing at. "How about you guys?"

"I can see something," Nicole replied. "It's very faint, but I can see something purple swirling in a clockwise direction."

"I can see it too," Ethan said. "I guess only those who possess magic can see it."

Lyall clicked her tongue because, finding it unfair that only Wizards and Witches could see it.

"What now?" Ethan asked the young lady beside him. "Do you know how we can enter, Ramo -Hecate?"

When the young man asked what name he should refer to Hecate after discovering her secret, she said that Ethan could call him Ramona when it was just the two of them.

The reason for this was due to the fact that the Princess' soul felt happy whenever Ethan called her name.

Although her connection with her body was faint, she could still feel, see, and hear everything

around Hecate.

The young lady smiled faintly before closing her eyes.

"Please give me a moment," Hecate replied. "I should be able to communicate with the

Progenitor of Magic."

The young lady extended her senses toward the swirling vortex, which only those who possessed magic could see.

However, even after several minutes had passed, the vortex was unresponsive.

"She's not home," Hecate reported after opening her eyes. "The Phoenix is right. She might still be in the Lands of Saraqael."

"I guess we'll just have to wait for her to return," Nicole smiled faintly before shifting her gaze to Ethan.

Everyone had already agreed that they would wait a week for Hecate to return. If she did not, Nicole, Lyall, Conall, and Merric would return to the Flying Ship and travel back to the Shire

Continent.

Ethan and Hecate would remain and wait up to a month for the Progenitor of Magic to return before they would make their way back to the Shire Continent.

For the time being, they decided to camp and ask the Drow, Dwarf, and the Kobold everything they knew about the Progenitor of Magic.
