Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 663 Progenitor Versus Progenitor [Part 3]

Everything around him was shaking terribly, but Ethan didn’t have the time to pay attention to it.

Not caring about anything else, he kept on digging and digging as fast as he could, for there were only five minutes left until his Other Half finished whatever he was doing.

Ethan often wondered how powerful Progenitors were.

When he was in the Celestial Domain, Queen Celestia was indeed powerful, but he knew that she was at his weakest at that time.

He didn’t know if the Tidebringer could be considered as a Colossi, and he also didn’t know how strong Sebastian’s master was.

The only ones whom he had the opportunity to fight were none other than the powerhouses of Eastshire.

They were indeed powerful.

Even his adopted father was powerful.

But that also made Ethan curious about how the strongest humans could compare to the strongest beings of the world.

Sometimes, Ethan would daydream about fighting against a Progenitor in order to better understand just how powerful they were.

But those battles were, in the end, a mere product of his imagination. Until he saw the real thing, he wouldn’t have something to compare to.

Now that wish had been granted, Ethan frankly felt that he was facing something that was way out of his league.

Suddenly, Ethan’s small claws hit the deepest part of the ground, making him pause.

‘I’ve reached the end,’ Ethan thought. ‘Am I safe here?’

But just as he was thinking along those lines, Sebastian shouted from within his sea of consciousness.

‘Dig to the right!’ Sebastian shouted.

Ethan did what he was told without asking the reason why. Right now, they were in a critical situation, and he didn’t have time to second guess Sebastian’s advice.

A few seconds after he started digging to his right, he sensed it.

Something big, fast, and dangerous was headed in his previous location.

“You’re notsss the only onesss who knowssss how to digsssss!” Erass’ hateful shout reached Ethan’s ears, forcing him to dig faster.

He had covered his body with an extremely thin layer of water to prevent the corrupted ground from affecting his senses.

Because of this, his magic reserves were dwindling at a rapid rate.

According to his estimate, he only had five to seven minutes left before he ran out of juice.

“You’re notsss getting awayssss!” Erass hateful roar caused the ground under Ethan’s feet to rise up, pushing him upward like a water about to erupt from a geyser.

In just a matter of seconds, Ethan’s body was blown off from the ground and into the sky.

Erass, who had also emerged to the surface, didn’t hesitate to jump at Ethan with his mouth wide open.

Ethan’s body immediately transformed into a Raven and flew away, barely evading the Giant Rat’s jaws.

A Raven that could fly against a raging storm—this was one of the creatures that Ethan could transform to due to the power of Mimir’s Wisdom.

Although he had a head start, Ethan knew that Erass would not stop until he became rat food.

Erass, who was getting annoyed by the young man’s little tricks, transformed into a yellow mist and shot toward Ethan like a comet.

But Ethan was prepared for something like this. As he flew, countless playing cards trailed behind him.

Each of these cards were transcribed with Rune Magic, which Ethan only planned to use if ever he was forced to fight without any magic power in hand.

Luna had stored two condensed orbs of Moon Magic in his heart, which was something that he could use during emergencies.

He planned to use one of them just as soon as his magic power were about to dry up.

But before then, he wanted to try something first, and that was his rune magic.

The countless cards that trailed behind Ethan all started to activate at the same time, creating a powerful tornado that sucked up the yellow mists that were following him.

A moment later, a blaze erupted inside the tornado, burning everything inside of it.

But it didn’t end there.

Lightning magic had also manifested, creating a tornado that was imbued with air, fire, and lightning, three of the most destructive elements in the world.

To his surprise, Erass screeched in pain. It seemed that Rune Magic affected him more than other kinds of Magic.

Seeing that it worked, Ethan unleashed more cards, and this time, these cards had the power of sealing his opponent.

It was one of the most difficult magic to transcribe, and it needed more magical power to manifest.

Erass found himself unable to break free from the Rune Magic, which was a lost ancient magic only known by the oldest of Elves and Dragons.

Word was power, and Rune Magic was magic created from words.

It had a stronger and longer lasting effect than the other types of magic. Its only downside was that it needed time and many preparations to be effectively used in battle.

‘Fortunately, I’ve made thousands of them during my free time,’ Ethan thought as he watched the screeching Giant Rat, which had taken its physical form and was now bathed in wind, fire, and lightning.

“I’ll kill yousssss!” Erass shouted. “I’ll kill yousssss!”

The Pestilence Domain trembled as the ground cracked and rose up to the sky, merging with Erass.

‘This cheater!’ Sebastian cursed.

The Giant Rat’s size increased tenfold, making it thousands of meters tall.

It then used brute force to disperse Ethans’ tornado, and its yellow eyes filled with hatred locked in on Ethan’s body.

It was at that moment that something unexpected happened.

Ethan, who was in Raven form, suddenly lost the ability to fly.

No matter how hard he tried to flap his wings, he couldn’t maintain his flight.

His vision was also starting to blur, which greatly alarmed him.

“You really thinksss that your petty trickssss can stop my pestilencesss from infecting youssss?” Erass sneered. “Foolsss. From the very momentsss you arrived in this worldsss, you have already contracted my diseasessssss! It’s too late for you nowssss! Regret the fact thatsss you tried to defy me, mortalsssss!”

Ethan’s transformation faded away, reverting him to his human form.

His vision was now extremely blurry, and his breathing ragged.

‘I got infected at that time when I first breathed in the air in this domain,’ Ethan thought as his body became as heavy as lead.

Erass, who had already been irritated to the point of no return, no longer said anything and went for the kill.

The Giant Rat descended from the sky with its mouth opened wide to devour the young man, who had pushed it to the limit of its patience.
