Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 188 Your Soul Is Mine! [Part 2]

Lily had instinctively moved her body when she heard Ethan’s call.

She had barely managed to prevent her heart from getting pierced by the sword strike through her back.

As waves of pain assaulted her body, Lily gritted her teeth and took a few steps forward.

She knew that if the warrior managed to twist his blade and slash sidewards, her life would end in an instant.

Out of desperation, she only did what she could do at that moment and moved to dislodge the blade from her body.

Unfortunately, the warrior had anticipated her move and raised his sword in quick motion to finish her off with a follow-up attack.

He had been observing Lily for the past ten days and understood how quick her reaction speed was.

Truth be told, the greatest threat on the battlefield wasn’t Ethan or any of the warriors. It was none other than Lily, whose destructive power rose several folds once she transformed into her Demi-Wolf form.

Because of this, the warrior had waited for the perfect opportunity to strike, preventing her from evading his attack.

His only mistake was that he wasn’t able to kill her with a single strike, but that didn’t matter. He was certain that his next strike would end the life of the greatest threat on the battlefield, allowing him to fulfill his goals easier.

Holding his sword with both hands, he slashed downward without holding back. His intention was to split her body into two, before reviving her as an Undead, who would become part of his army.

Just as his sword was about to end the young beauty’s life, Ethan appeared and pushed her away.

The Warrior’s expression immediately changed after this sudden turn of events and forcefully stopped his blow. However, even when he reacted quickly, the blade had already cut through his magician’s robe and drawn blood.

“Ethan!” Lily, who was lying on the ground, momentarily forgot how serious her injury was, as she forcefully propped herself up and lunged at the warrior, who had attacked them from behind.

Letting out a growl filled with rage, the young lady’s clawed hands pierced through the warrior’s chest and pulled his heart out of his body.

She then unceremoniously crushed it before kicking the warrior’s body away in a fit of anger.

After that, she hurriedly went to Ethan, ignoring the blood that was continuously gushing out of her wound like a fountain.

“Protect the Tide Bringer!” Great Chieftain Adrian shouted in desperation as he ran towards the fallen young man, whose entire back was covered with blood.

The Warriors who were tasked to defend Ethan fought tooth and nail as they warded him from the monsters that were trying to grab hold of the Tide Bringer, who had now fallen on the battlefield.

Before this, they almost didn’t have the strength to continue fighting. However, after seeing the young man fall, their desperation to save him allowed them to channel some kind of hidden strength within their bodies. They fended off the beasts, attacking them like madmen.

They were still shaken about the fact that one of the warriors had dared to attack Lily, whom everyone knew was the Tide Bringer’s wife.

All of them wanted to ask why the warrior had attacked her, but since he was already dead, they would not be able to interrogate him for his crime.

Suddenly, the body of the traitorous warrior shuddered, and a black smoke emerged from his mouth.

A few seconds later, the black smoke took the form of the Necromancer, who was looking at Ethan with bloodshot eyes.

“Dammit!” the Necromancer cursed as he looked at Ethan’s current situation.

He had no intention of killing the Tide Bringer because he wanted to possess his body and make his power his own.

He only wanted to eliminate Lily, who was the greatest threat on the battlefield and whose death would make Ethan’s mental state unstable.

The Necromancer had managed to possess the body of the warrior because he was knocked unconscious by one of his Flying Undead Monsters several days ago.

This allowed the Necromancer to overpower the Warrior’s soul and take control of his body, giving him free rein to observe Ethan, Lily, as well as the other warriors that were tasked to protect the Tide Bringer.

He had left his original body in his Main Camp and had been controlling it remotely for the past few days. His plan had been perfect, and he was able to freely approach the two teenagers without being suspected.

Unfortunately, he was heavily guarded, so he could only wait for the right time to make his move.

The opportunity did present itself, and he managed to deal a killing blow to Ethan’s wife, which he believed would lead to the young man’s mental breakdown, allowing him to suppress his soul and take over his body without too much effort.

He also planned to revive Lily and use her to further break Ethan’s will. Everything was going according to his plan.

Unfortunately, his target managed to cheat death at the last second.

To make matters worse, the person he wanted to possess was now at death’s door, and it was even done by his own hand!

“Curses!” the Necromancer shouted as he eyed Ethan. “Now it has come to this, I have no choice!”

The Necromancer turned into a black smoke once more and flew towards Ethan with the intention of possessing his body.

If he managed to subdue the young man’s soul and absorb it fast enough, he might be able to use his Necromantic Powers to barely save his life.

“Your Soul is mine!” the Old Necromancer roared.

However before he could merge with Ethan’s body, the young man’s wand appeared in front of him and unleashed a blinding light that made the Necromancer scream in pain.

Suddenly, the wand transformed into the image of the Mermaid Princess, and the latter unleashed a scream that sent a powerful shock wave, which blew the Necromancer away, along with all of the Undead Monsters that had surrounded Ethan’s group.

Before the Necromancer and the Undead Army could recover, a commotion erupted behind them, which took the Necromancer by surprise.

“Protect the Tide Bringer!” the Kobold Shaman shouted. “Kill!”

““Kill!””

The Kobolds started to obliterate the Undead Monsters in their path, starting a one-sided massacre.

But it didn’t end there.

“For the Glory of the Tides!” one of the Head Hunters of the Three Great Tribes shouted and they joined the Kobolds in killing the Orcs who had also entered the city with them.

Great Chieftain Adrian snapped out of his daze as he hurriedly ordered the Elite Warriors to carry Ethan away from the battlefield as gently as they could.

He took it upon himself to carry Lily because of how seriously injured she was.

Her face was very pale, and she had already lost a lot of blood.

The Great Chieftain knew that if the two teenagers failed to receive medical help as soon as possible, they would both die, which was the last thing he wanted to see in his lifetime.

The Old Necromancer gnashed his teeth. He was currently in his Spirit Form, and the mermaid’s attack had injured his soul.

As much as he wanted to take over Ethan’s body right now, he decided against it.

The Old Necromancer glared at the mermaid princess, who was also glaring back at him. For now, he decided to stop his attack and give the Shamans time to save Ethan’s life.

“Retreat!” the Old Necromancer ordered.

He needed the Tide Bringer alive, so stopping the battle for the time being was the best course of action.

The Orcs, the Trolls, the Ogres, and the Goblins retreated in haste.

The Kobolds and the Warriors of the Three Great Tribes, on the other hand, remained inside the city.

They weren’t stupid. They knew that the Necromancer only treated them as Cannon Fodders.

This was why they decided to rebel and side with the Allied Tribes.

While their former enemies were now defending them from the bulk of the Necromancer’s Army, Ethan and Lily were taken inside the Pyramid, where the Shamans worked together to tend to their injuries.

However, as they tried to heal the two teenagers, they discovered something that made their faces turn grim.

“They have been poisoned,” Safiya hissed. “And this Poison belongs to the Dream Eater Plant. Do any of you have the antidote for this?”

“I do,” the Kobold Shaman said. “But I only have enough for one person.”

Everyone’s faces went pale after hearing the Kobold Shaman’s words. The Dream Eater Poison not only poisoned the body, but it also destroyed the mind of the person who was affected by it.

Some say that before the person could even die from the poison, their minds would be destroyed first, making them empty shells of their former selves.

While everyone was hesitating on what to do, a weakened voice reached their ears.

“Use the antidote on Ethan,” Lily said. “Using it on me will serve no purpose. The Tide Bringer’s life is more important. Also, don’t worry about me. I have a way to prevent the poison from spreading inside my body.”

Safiya looked at the young lady with sadness and guilt. Truth be told, everyone might be reluctant but they were already prepared to use the antidote to Ethan.

Just like Lily had said, his life was more important than hers. He was their pillar of hope. If he were to really die then what were all of their sacrifices for?

“I’m sorry, Lily,” Safiya replied.

The Head Shaman didn’t believe that Lily had a way to keep the poison from spreading. She believed that the young lady only said this so that they would focus on saving her husband’s life over her own.

Lily shook her head. “Don’t waste any time. The sooner you save Ethan, the bett…”

The young lady winced as the healers worked to close the wound on her chest.

This was the least that they could do for her. After stopping the bleeding, they applied a herbal paste over her wound and bandaged her properly.

They then took her to the room where she and Ethan stayed inside the Pyramid and laid her on the bed.

Although they didn’t say anything, they believed that Lily would breathe her last before the sun set.

When everyone left the room, Sebastian appeared beside Lily and looked at her with concern.

“Do you really have a way to stop the poison?” Sebastian asked.

“I can only delay it,” Lily replied weakly as she held the wand in her hand. “But I don’t have a way to prevent the poison from eroding my mind.”

Sebastian lightly tapped Lily’s forehead with his fingertip, creating a rune.

“I can prevent the poison from eroding your mind, but this will only last three days,” Sebastian stated.

“Thank you,” Lily smiled weakly before placing her wand over her chest. “At most, I can delay the poison for three days as well. Sebastian, can I ask for a favor?”

Sebastian nodded with a sad expression on his face. “What is it?”

“Tell Ethan not to blame himself if I didn’t survive.”

“… Understood.”

“Thank you.”

Lily closed her eyes as she chanted the spell that would temporarily put her body in a state of hibernation.

“… Absoluta Nulla.”

Lily’s body glowed faintly before it was encased in a thick block of ice.

This was her last resort to preserving her life.

If Ethan failed to find a way to save her within three days, then the young lady’s mind and body would perish, leaving him with a guilt that he would carry for the rest of his life.
