Wizard World Irregular

“Greetings, Master,” the Water Fairy whom Ethan had created bowed her head respectfully before looking at Ethan with a smile. “My name is Lapis, and I am at your service.”

Ethan blinked once then twice as he looked at the pretty fairy in front of him. Unlike Aria, who looked like a child, Lapis looked like someone in her teenage years, similar to Ruby and Nika.

It took the young man half a minute to regain his composure and pat his chest in relief.

If Lapis had called him Father or Papa, he would have felt awful because he created her without thinking about the consequences of his actions.

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

“Lapis, can you tell me more about you?” Ethan asked. “How were you born exactly?”

“To answer the Master's question, the one who birthed me is Queen Celestia,” Lapis replied. “There are also over ten thousand Fairies who are still sleeping inside this Domain and are waiting for you to wake them up.”

“Wait, did you just say there are over ten thousand Fairies sleeping inside this Domain? Ethan asked in surprise.

“Yes, Master,” Lapis replied. “I am the very first Fairy that Queen Celestia created in her Legacy. Since you have inherited this Domain, it means that all the Fairies here belong to you.

“Inside this place, we are Immortal and only exist to help our Master to fight the enemies. Of course, you can also summon us outside of this Domain if you wish. If we happen to die outside the Domain, our essence will return to this place and we will be reborn after a year has passed in the outside world.

“If we were to die inside this domain, we would be reborn in the blink of an eye, ready to fight again, for we are immortal. If Master wishes for it, you can also create your own Fairy Army to increase our numbers.

“Since Master is special, the type of Fairies you can create is not limited to Water Fairies alone. You can make Wood Fairies, Light Fairies, Fire Fairies, Earth Fairies, Wind Fairies, Dark Fairies, and the list goes on and on.”

“The maximum number of Fairies you can create in this world is a hundred thousand, and all of them, including me, would have the strength of three High-Fairies combined.”

As if to demonstrate her abilities, Lapis pointed to the east.

A second later, a blue beam of light, which looked similar to a laser beam, erupted from the tip of her finger and flew over the water’s surface.

“““…”””

Luna, Lilian, and the Fairies looked at Lapis as if she were a monster.

That single beam of light had the destructive power of a Fireball Spell.

If there were ten thousand Fairies with the same power as her, then Ethan wouldn’t have any problems even if he fought against an army.

The same could also be said for his Tide Bringer’s Legacy.

Even if Ethan were to face an entire army, he was certain that he would win if they were to fight in the sea.

“Epic Legacies sure are built differently,” Lilian softly commented as she landed beside Ethan.

Luna nodded as soon as she landed, sharing Lilian’s thoughts.

“But, Master, there is something that our Queen didn’t make inside this Domain,” Lapis stated. “That constellation in the sky. It was not something that was here before.”

Sebastian, who was inside Ethan’s Sea of Consciousness, started to whistle innocently, making Ethan’s Other Half snicker.

In the past, it was impossible for Ethan to summon Sebastian’s true body. But inside the Celestial Domain, he could finally take on his true form and fight to his heart’s content.

However, the only time when he would take his true form was when Ethan was fighting a battle that he had no hope of winning.

“Should I also etch my Constellation here?” Ethan’s Other Half asked Sebastian.

“Why not?” Sebastian smirked. “The more the merrier, right? Also the power of this Domain is enough for the two of us to manifest at the same time. No more watching from the sidelines. We can also get a piece of the action!”

“Indeed,” Ethan’s Other Half smirked before pointing his finger at the sky.

Suddenly. Ethan and Lapis felt some changes that were happening inside the Celestial Domain.

The two of them looked to the left side of the Hydra Constellation and saw bright stars emerge out of nowhere.

A new constellation formed right in front of everyone’s eyes, and when the last star appeared, Ethan immediately recognized what it was.

“Ophiuchus,” Ethan muttered. “The Serpent Bearer.”

Mimir had given him the knowledge of the world, so it was fairly easy for him to recognize the new constellation that suddenly appeared.

The constellation of Ophiuchus was said to represent the 13th Zodiac, which did not exist in modern times.

It was not part of the twelve that was known by many, and some believed that the Serpent Bearer was excluded from the original twelve due to an important reason.

As to what that reason was, Ethan couldn’t find anything within Mimir’s Wisdom.

Well, he did find something, but this information was sealedband he wasn’t allowed access to it.

Perhaps, Mimir deemed that Ethan wasn’t ready to know this information, preventing him from accessing anything that had a relation to the 13th Zodiac, whom many people had already forgotten.

“So, what now?” Ethan scratched his head as he looked at the two constellations in the sky.

Their stars were twinkling, but for some reason, the young man felt like these stars were winking at him, as if challenging him to uncover their secrets if he could.

Meanwhile, Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half chuckled within the young man’s Sea of Consciousness. They were feeling very proud of themselves because they managed to hoodwink Ethan, at least for now.

In the end, Ethan only shook his head and dispersed the Domain, bringing everyone out of it, including Lapis.

He felt bad about leaving her all alone inside the Domain, so he decided to let her spend some time with the other Fairies.

“W-What is this?” Lapis stuttered after tasting the candy that Ethan had handed to her. “Is this the food of the Gods? Master, I am not worthy!”

Although she said that she wasn’t worthy, the Water Fairy flew a few meters away from Ethan, holding the candy in a tight embrace, refusing to let it go.

“Don’t worry. You can keep it,” Ethan was quite amused by Lapis’ reaction, making him remember how the Water Fairies inside Queen Celestia’s Domain first reacted when he gave them several candies for the first time.

“Here is a bag of candy, this is yours,” Ethan said as he placed a bag filled to the brim with candies on the picnic blanket, making Lapis approach him with a big smile on her face.

“Master, you’re the best!” Lapis said with a smile, making Ruby and Nika look at her with kind eyes.

It was as if they were looking at a sister who had come to the city for the first time after living in the countryside all her life.

“We also have chocolates here, Lapis,” Ruby said as she handed her a small piece of chocolate. “This is by no means inferior to the candy that you are eating.”

“T-This!” Lapis looked at the chocolate in her hands, with eyes as wide as saucers. Seeing her reaction, Ruby nodded her head in understanding.

“Don’t worry, Lapis,” Ruby said as she patted Lapis’ shoulder. “I’ll teach you how to extort candies from Ethan. By the time I’ve finished training you, you’ll be a brand new and better Fairy!”

Ethan didn’t know if he should allow Ruby to influence the innocent Lapis.

However, since it seemed that the Water Fairy was having a good time with everyone, he decided to go with the flow.

Now that he had a better understanding of the Celestial Domain, he believed that he would be able to uncover its secrets in due time.
