Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 930: And Now, You Will Have My Authority
Chapter 930: And Now, You Will Have My Authority
As if the young man had spoken a magic word, the Emerald Tablet shot a beam of light upward, but it swerved a few seconds later and headed in Ethan's direction.
It was none other than his Sea God's Trident, which had returned to its original size.
The young man grasped his weapon like a short sword, and tried to extend its handle. However, it didn't work the way it usually did.
Instead, it pulled Ethan to a place located at the North side of the City, like a puppy who wanted to make its Master follow it.
The young man didn't resist and allowed the Sea God's Trident to take him wherever it wanted to take him.
Leviathan just watched in anticipation.
'After waiting for hundreds of years, the time has finally come,' Leviathan mused.
Ethan arrived on what seemed to be an elevated platform overlooking the entire city of Atlantis.
There, standing on a pedestal, was a long staff that was glowing faintly.
At first, Ethan thought that it was a staff, but after looking at it closely, he realized that it looked very familiar.
"This is the handle of the Sea God's Trident,' Ethan thought. 'I see... so that's why.'
Without anyone telling him what to do, Ethan grabbed the handle of the staff, and pulled it up.
The staff broke free from its constraints without any sort of resistance.
Ethan then pieced the two pieces of the artifact together, allowing them to merge and finally become whole once more.
The moment the head of the Trident and its body merged as one, a golden light shot upward. This light then hit something like a barrier, making the light disperse and scatter around the city.
A moment later, something unexpected happened.
The sound of gears starting to move reached Ethan's ears.
Soon, lights appeared in the city, illuminating the once dark surroundings.
Ethan only watched in wonder as he looked at the picturesque scene that was taking place in front of him.
He then looked up to where the Giant Creature was and saw a massive Sea Serpent, whose body had coiled itself around the city.
Then, he heard it.
A soft and melodious sound, similar to a mermaid song, echoed across the city that had regained its splendor.
"Beneath the waves so deep and wide,
Atlantis sleeps where secrets hide.
A city lost, both grand and fair,
Whispers linger in ocean air."
The Sea God's Trident in Ethan's hand then shot a beam of golden light directly into Ethan's forehead.
A moment later, the city disappeared, and Ethan found himself in a pure white world. Ethan's body stiffened because he felt that someone was right behind him.
He had faced many powerful beings in the past, and he had fought against them too. So, he immediately knew that the person behind him was extremely powerful.
Ethan's heart started to beat wildly inside his chest. A part of him wanted to turn around, but the other half didn't dare to even move a muscle.
The young man felt the hairs on his arms and the back of his neck stand on end. Goosebumps wracked his body, almost paralyzing him from doing anything.
Even so, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Using all of his strength and willpower, he forced his body to turn around.
He wanted to see what or who was making him react this way. If he had to fight, then he would do so without holding back.
When his gaze landed on the person behind him, Ethan felt as if his breath had been stuck in his throat.
"Very good. Someone born from mine and Celestia's lineage must have this kind of courage." Although these words were said in a teasing tone, there was a hint of pride mixed in it.
Ethan gazed at a handsome man with long blue hair and blue eyes.
Eight pairs of angelic wings were spread behind his back, and a confident smile hung on his face.
"Y-You are?" Ethan forced himself to ask this question despite his lips not wanting to move at the beginning.
"Arariel. That is my name."
"Are we related to each other? I feel like I've seen you before."
Arariel smirked. "What do you think?"
Suddenly, a memory flashed inside Ethan's head, making him remember why the eight- winged angel seemed familiar to him.
He had three Legacies sleeping inside his body.
Mimir's Wisdom.
Ashmedai's Desire.
And last, but not the least, was a Legacy that belonged to the person in front of him.
"I told you that we would meet once you came of age, but I didn't think that we would meet this soon," Arariel said. "Fate is really a fickle lady, but since you are now in front of me, it means that you have finally found Atlantis."
Arariel walked toward Ethan and placed his hand on the young man's shoulder.
"You've grown well." Arariel smiled. "My son, Lleu, would have been happy to see you. Unfortunately, he accidentally entered a portal that led to a different dimension out of curiosity and has been gone for a very long time."
A sigh escaped the lips of the eight-winged angel. However, there was a faint smile that appeared not long after, which made Ethan believe that Lleu was still alive.
"Enough of that adventurous kid," Arariel scoffed. "Now, let's talk about something important. Do you know? The bride that we arranged for you is being bullied right now? Well, I'm sure that if she is pushed into a corner, she will become the War Princess of the Sea and
dye the sea in blood.
"She is one of the three Legendary Mermaid Princesses, and she had the power to back her title. However, as strong she may be, she will still not be able to defeat the Colossi, who have suddenly thought to conquer the Kingdoms of the Land." novelbuddy.cσ๓
Arariel's tone was filled with contempt and disdain because that particular Colossi was only able to make waves because he, Celestia, and their son, Lleu, were nowhere to be found. His wife had suffered grievous injuries while he was in the Lands of Saraqael, gathering the ingredients for the divine medicine that would help his wife recover from her injuries. "Um, the bride you arranged for me... are you talking about Illumina?" Ethan asked.
"I wasn't the one who arranged it," Arariel replied. "It was Lleu. He said that if his bloodline ever produced an exceptional boy, he would marry him to Illumina.
"But I was the one that approved of it, so technically, I arranged it as well. Aren't you lucky? We already made sure that one of the Legendary Mermaid Princesses would become your wife when you grew up. This is what it means to keep all the good things inside the family." Ethan blinked once then twice because he didn't know that his fate had already been decided before he was even born.
"Um, then does that make you my great, great grandfather?" Ethan asked in a serious tone.
"That's right," Arariel replied. "And Celestia is your great, great grandmother. But, let's not talk about that now. The time we have is limited, and I already used a good portion of it. Dark and difficult times lay ahead, Ethan. And you will need the power and the manpower to help you turn the tides in your favor.
"My son loves to ride on waves and summon giant waves to drown his enemies. But you must become a different kind of Tide Bringer. The tides you summon must protect this world from the second coming of Ragnarok."
Arariel then lightly tapped Ethan's forehead, making the young man fall into a daze.
"I will now impart to you my Legacy," Arariel said with a smile.
"Mimir gave you Wisdom."
"Ashmedai gave you Desire."
"And now, you shall receive my Authority."
A brilliant flash of light enveloped Ethan's body.
A second later, he disappeared from that pure-white world, returning to the City of Atlantis,
whose ownership had been transferred to him.
A/N: The Half-Elf that appeared in the previous chapter was supposed to have red hair, and
not brown hair.
I edited it, but it isn't reflecting in Webnovel, so I needed to clarify things here, so that people wouldn't misunderstand. If you've read my previous novel RWTSS, I'm sure you already know who this red-haired Half-Elf is. Kekeke.
