Wizard World Irregular

“Fools. Did they really think that they could get away from us that easily?” one of the three Sorcerers, who decided to track down Princess Ramona, said in contempt.

“Don’t underestimate them, Third,” the Sorcerer who went by the name, Fifth, replied. “They managed to hold out long enough in the battle earlier until the King arrived. They are quite capable, especially that girl with the red ribbons. How about you, Seventh? What do you think about them?”

“I’m more worried about the boy,” Seventh replied. “He’s just making me uneasy.”

“Then we should eliminate him first,” Fifth stated. “The two of us will work together, while Third deals with the girl. After we kill the meddlers, we’ll decide how to deal with the Princess. Are both of you fine with this arrangement?”

“Sounds good.”

“I don’t have any objections.”

After agreeing to a plan, they urged their Hippogriffs to fly faster so that they could catch up with their targets.

The names of the Sorcerers of the Magdar Kingdom were numbered Two onwards. This was their Rank, and the strongest of them held the number one position. However, instead of a number, they simply called him “King”.

Yes, the King of the Magdar Kingdom, King Baldur, was the strongest of them all.

The Council of Sorcerers might be obeying the King of the Kingdom, but that didn’t mean that they were his subordinates.

They were granted special privileges in order to help protect their territories from outside threats, making them under one ruler but above the law.

This was the reason why King Baldur was unable to punish them despite the fact that five of them had attempted to kill his daughter, Ramona.

The King understood that if he were to do that, not only would he lose five powerful Sorcerers, but civil strife might also spread across his Domain.

In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, he decided to let Princess Ramona leave the Magdar Kingdom, only allowing her to come back once she gained the power to protect herself from those who wished her harm.

However, the three Sorcerers, who were currently tracking down the Princess, didn’t want her to grow stronger and become a threat to the other Princes who were fighting for the throne.

After half an hour of flying, the Sorcerers started to frown.

They thought that their targets would continue flying over land. But now, they were flying over the sea.

Although the Hipogriffs had no problem with long-distance flights, flying over the sea made them uneasy.

lightsΝοvel “That girl is using a magical artifact to fly,” Third stated. “I don’t think they can travel over the sea very far. They might have taken this route in order to leave no trail.”

Fifth and Seventh nodded their heads in agreement. They didn’t believe that their enemies would truly head far out to the sea.

The Sea was unpredictable, and storms were a natural occurrence in these parts. Of course, the three Sorcerers weren’t too worried about this.

If they really encountered a storm at the sea, they could simply turn back and look for other ways to find their targets.

Half an hour later, Seventh’s gloomy face brightened as he looked in the distance.

“It’s them!” Seventh shouted, pointing at the black speck on the horizon. “We managed to catch up to them!”

“Remember our agreement,” Third stated. “I will deal with the girl, the two of you target the boy.”

“Understood.”

“Okay.”

Now that their prey was within sight, they urged their Hippogriffs to increase their flying speed, allowing them to slowly catch up with the fleeing Princess’ group.

When their targets were only a few hundred meters away, they saw the flying artifact dive down from the sky, heading toward the water.

“Don’t let them escape!” Fifth urged his Hippogriff to take a nose dive from the sky in order to follow the three people, who seemed to be dead set on diving into the sea.

Third and Seventh hesitated for a brief moment before they, too, urged their Hippogriffs to descend from the sky. No matter what happened, they must not lose sight of their targets and allow them to escape.

A giant splash of water erupted from the sea as Ethan, Lily, and Princess Ramona dove into the waters in order to escape their pursuers.

“Do whatever it takes to kill them!” Third shouted and summoned a Fire Spear, which he hurled toward the direction where he had last seen the three brats who were making things difficult for them.

Fifth and Seventh also unleashed their own attacks, including Wind Blades and Ice Spears, making the surface of the sea churn as they unleashed their attacks non-stop.

White smoke emerged from the waters as a sizzling sound reverberated in the air. action

Not knowing if they managed to hit their targets or not, they commanded their Hippogriffs to fly several meters above the water so that they could take a better look at their surroundings.

Meanwhile, under the sea…

Ethan was now holding his Sea God’s Trident, while Lily had shifted into her Mermaid Form.

He then summoned a water bubble to enclose Princess Ramona, allowing her to breathe without problems.

‘Take her as deep as you can,’ Ethan said through telepathy. ‘I’ll handle the rest.’

Lily nodded and descended into the depths, just in time to evade several Fire Spears, Wind Blades, and Ice Spears that broke through the surface of the waters, darting in their direction.

Ethan smirked as he raised his trident, fully prepared to fight their enemies who had no idea who they were dealing with.

This was precisely why the young man had asked Lily to head to the sea, allowing him to deal with the pesky pursuers using his home-court advantage.

At that exact moment, something gigantic swam under him, making the smirk on Ethan’s face turn into a sneer.

“Did we get them?” Third asked as he used Wind Magic to blow away the steam that was covering their surroundings.

The moment that the white smoke cleared away, they saw several giant tentacles rise up from the sea, making them cry out in surprise.

“Bring them down, Kraken!” Ethan ordered, making one of the most fearsome creatures in the sea obey his command.

“Retreat!” Seventh shouted as he tried to use his Wind Magic to help his flying mount gain altitude.

Unfortunately for them, it was already too late.

The giant tentacles swatted the Hippogriffs out of the sky, making these Creatures shriek in pain as they fell towards the sea, where they would find themselves being dragged down to the murky depths, where they would meet their doom.
