Wizard World Irregular

The sound of banging could be heard on the door as more than one guard beseeched Princess Ramona to surrender to the Pirates, saying that they didn't want to get killed.

Seeing that the Princess hadn't responded even after their begging, they started to hack at the door with their weapons.

Just then, Ramona stirred on the bed.

Ethan gradually dissipated the sound barrier so that the sound coming from the door wouldn't startle her. The moment Ramona heard the sounds of the door cracking, she leaped off the bed and hid behind Ethan’s back.

When the door finally collapsed, three guards entered the room, their weapons drawn and ready to strike.

“Give us the Princess, and no one will need to get hurt,” one of the three Guards demanded. “If you don’t comply, then don’t blame us for being forceful.”

Ethan looked past the three guards and saw no other guards waiting for them outside the destroyed door.

‘I guess these three are in cahoots with Ramona’s brothers,’ Ethan thought as he calmly looked at them, unaffected by the swords the three guards were pointing in their direction.

“I won’t ask again,” the Guard stated. “Give us the Princess, or else…”

“Or else what?” Ethan asked with a smirk. "I'd like to hear what you plan to do with me."

“I gave you a chance,” the Guard sneered. “Kill him!”

The other two guards sprang into action, but before they could even cross the distance between them and the handsome young man, three Water Snakes emerged from under Ethan’s feet and coiled around the three guards, holding them in place.

“Do you know these three guards?” Ethan asked the Princess who was hiding behind him.

“No,” Princess Ramona replied. “They are the guards who were supervising this ship when I arrived at the port with my entourage.”

“I see.” Ethan nodded in understanding before casually tossing the three guards out the window like cannon balls, making them fall into the water head first.

This made the Pirates think that the ship that they had encircled was fighting back, prompting them all to attack by shooting flaming arrows at Princess Ramona’s ships.

Their orders were to capture the Princess dead or alive, so they didn’t mind if she got hurt in the process of their capture.

This plan might have worked in the past, but now that Ethan had arrived on the scene, whatever they did would not work.

A dome of water covered Princess Ramona’s ships, repelling the arrows that were being shot at it in every direction.

A moment later, countless Water Snakes rose from the sea and started to smash the hulls of the ships, creating holes that allowed water to enter.

The panic-stricken Pirates knew then and there that they might have made a mistake in targeting the Princess’ ship.

They received no reports that there was a powerful Mage who could use Water Magic among Princess Ramona’s entourage.

By the time they realized their mistake, it was already too late.

No matter how hard they tried to row their ships to escape, there was nowhere in the open sea where they could go in order to escape Ethan.

The young man didn’t just plan to make the ships sink.

He planned to destroy them completely, leaving no place for the Pirates to escape.

Soon, screams of fear, despair, and regret reverberated in the surroundings as the Water Snakes mercilessly smashed the Pirate ships to pieces, forcing the Pirates to abandon their ships.

Naturally, these pirates tried to swim towards Princess Ramona’s ship, but would Ethan allow them to do that?

Of course not.

He had plenty of questions to ask them, so he activated his Celestial Domain and tossed all the Pirates into it.

The Fairies, who saw uninvited guests come in, all gathered to form a swarm and flew in their direction.

After what happened at the celebration party, the Fairies developed a new hobby of fighting in close quarters.

So, they all mobbed the pitiful Pirates who escaped the frying pan, only to be burned by the fiery fists and kicks of the Fairies who had lowkey become MMA Fighters.

Ethan ordered them to not kill the Pirates because he planned to interrogate them later.

With him around, he would ensure that no harm would come to Princess Ramona anymore.

When he and Lily were still stuck in the Lands of Alastor, both of them entertained the thought of supporting the Princess to become the new Queen of the Magdar Kingdom.

But in order to do that, they would have to deal with her brothers, who wished for her death just so they would have one less competitor for the crown.

Unfortunately, at that time, Lily and Ethan only had a few days left before they returned to the present.

They didn’t have enough time to ensure that their Disciple would sit on the throne and rule her kingdom safely after they had dealt with her pesky brothers.

The Guards who were on the ship didn’t know what happened. When they came back to their senses, they were already surrounded by a dome of water.

When the dome disappeared, the only thing they saw were countless pieces of wooden planks floating on the sea and there was not a single Pirate in sight.

Some of them checked the Princess’ condition and were surprised to see that the door of her cabin had been destroyed.

When they asked Ethan what happened, the young man only said that the spies sent by Ramona’s Brothers had tried to capture her by force.

When the Guards asked where these people were, Ethan only smiled, making the Guards look at him warily.

They didn’t have to be smart in order to connect the dots, so they instantly realized that what happened earlier might have been done by the handsome young man, who suddenly They didn’t have to be smart in order to connect the dots, so they instantly realized that what happened earlier might have appeared in the middle of the sea to reunite with Princess Ramona.

Joanne, who didn’t see how the pirates disappeared, eyed Ethan with a solemn gaze.

Her doll was unable to see anything because they were covered by a dome of water.

Even so, what happened earlier was enough for her to understand that Ethan was indeed a terrifying opponent at sea.

‘When I fight him again, I better make sure that there are no bodies of water around,’ Joanne thought before crossing her arms over her chest.

She was trying to learn Ethan’s weaknesses so that the next time they fought, the one who would emerge victorious would be none other than her.

With the pirates gone, the ship continued its voyage to reach the Island of Kings.

Two hours later, they finally reached their destination.

When Princess Ramona’s two brothers saw that she was safe and unharmed, a frown appeared on their faces.

But when they saw Ethan disembark from the ship, both of them, as well as the Sorcerers who had chosen to support them, felt a suffocating presence wash over them.

Ethan’s eyes were cold and murderous, and he didn’t bother to hide it.

In fact, if the King of the Magdar Kingdom wasn’t on the island with them, he might have already captured all the Princes and made sure that neither one of them would be able to harm Princess Ramona ever again.

When the King of the Magdar Kingdom, King Baldur, saw Ethan, a surprised look appeared on his face.

“Tidebringer, it’s an honor for you to join us on this momentous occasion,” King Baldur said with a smile.

He and Ethan had become acquainted in the past after he had asked the young man to help protect his daughter to the best of his abilities.

The King was also the one who gave Ethan the Silver Trident, Lightbringer, which was imbued with Holy Properties.

Truth be told, he had been starting to worry because his daughter’s ship was nowhere to be found as the time of the Oath Ceremony drew near.

“The pleasure is mine, King Baldur,” Ethan replied. “I came here to observe and to support Princess Ramona as the next Crown Princess of the Magdar Kingdom.”

Ethan’s declaration caused a stir through everyone present on the island.

The Tidebringer was the Deity whom the people in the Lands of Alastor worshiped.

If he were here to support the young Princess to become the next Crown Princess, the people of the Magdar Kingdom would definitely rally under Princess Ramona’s banner, for their Deity had chosen her to become their next ruler.

Ethan’s declaration made King Baldur’s face turn solemn.

Although he recognized and even wished Princess Ramona to become the next ruler, he found it a bit distasteful for Ethan to use his influence to force him to make a decision.

Of course, the other Princes also didn’t like what he had done, so they made their opinions known in the hope that they would be able to intimidate their sister and make her back down from the fight for the throne.
