Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 904: I Just Hope That She Appears Before It's Too Late

Ethan didn't have the right to enter Jaeger Manor, so he stood by the door, waiting for his wife to come out.

Guests were usually allowed to enter the manor as long as the Head Prefect or the third of the Manor gave him permission to enter their quarters.

But since Ethan was public enemy number one to the boys, the current Head Prefect of Jaeger Manor wouldn't let him in, not wanting a commotion to happen.

For this reason, Ethan and Lily both agreed that either she would visit him at Dud Manor or he'd just wait outside the Jaeger Manor when he came to visit her.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lily to get out, and soon, the two of them were taking a stroll hand in hand.

Since both of them looked good together, many couldn't help but think that they were a match made in heaven.

"Is there something wrong?" Lily asked because she noticed that Ethan looked troubled.

"Yes," Ethan replied. "I had a talk with Baradiel, and she told me that the Progenitor of Magic, Lady Hecate, is a very petty person. She told me that it was highly possible that she targeted my Lovers in order to get back at me because I care for all of you the most."

Ethan didn't mind if Hecate targeted him directly, but if she targeted his Lovers instead, that was another story.

"Have you met a beautiful lady with long red hair and red eyes as of late?" Ethan asked. "Or do you feel anything unusual?"

"A beautiful lady with long red hair and red eyes?" Lily smirked. "Are you talking about my sister, Lyall?"

"I wouldn't be worrying like this if it was just your sister." Ethan sighed before hugging his wife. "I'm being serious here. I'm very worried about all of you."

"Well, I haven't met any lady aside from my sister with the description that you gave me," Lily replied. "As for feeling anything unusual as of late... I think I've gained a little more appetite than usual. Maybe it's because I wasn't able to eat anything good during my mission outside of the academy."

"Having more appetite is a good thing," Ethan replied. "That means you're healthy."

"Mmm." Lily nodded. "So, have you talked to the others about this?"

"Yes," Ethan replied. "At least, everyone that is here in the academy."

Since Chloe was still out on her mission, there was no one else to ask in the academy.

"Do you think that Baradiel is telling you the truth?" Lily inquired. "Maybe she's just trying to make you anxious."

Ethan smiled bitterly. "I'd also prefer that over the possibility of Lady Hecate harming any of you."

Lily could sense the worry in Ethan's tone, so she snuggled close to him and gave him a reassuring hug.

"Don't worry, if ever anything happens, we will be there to help you," Lily stated. "I'm not a flower in a greenhouse, you know?"

"I know." Ethan nodded. "You are my warrior princess."

Lily hugged Ethan tighter. "Right. I'll make sure to protect you."

After having a heart-to-heart talk, Ethan and Lily headed to the Dining Hall together to have dinner.

This time, she accompanied Ethan to the table for Dud Manor and ate with him.

While everyone was enjoying their meal, the door of the Dining Hall opened, and someone whom Ethan hadn't seen for a long time finally made her appearance.

Chloe, who seemed to have just returned to the academy, didn't even bother to change her traveling clothes before coming to the Dining Hall.

Instead of going to the Jaeger Manor's table, she walked straight toward the Dud Manor's table and sat right beside Ethan.

She then filled her plate with food and started to eat, ignoring the stares that were being sent in her direction.

"Welcome back," Ethan said softly.

"Let's talk after dinner," Chloe replied without even glancing in his direction.

She simply ate the food on her plate, starved from her journey.

Chloe could have made a detour to Limeburgh Town to have dinner, but since she wanted to return to the academy as soon as possible, she decided to come to the Dining Hall without changing her clothes.

"Okay." Ethan could tell that something was bothering Chloe, so he decided to focus on his meal as well. The sooner they finished their meals, the sooner the two of them could talk.

Nearly half an hour later, the two left the Dining Hall together and headed straight to Dud Manor to discuss something important.

"I've traveled to a few locations in the Shire Continent, looking for the Cauldron of the Dagda,' Chloe said as soon as Ethan closed the door of his room. "I already expected that I wouldn't find anything in those ancient ruins.

"But a Nymph told me at one of those locations where I've been that she saw the Cauldron of the Dagda taken by someone four years ago. Her description is a bit vague, but she described the person as a beautiful lady with long dark green hair and blue eyes.

"However, after Chessy pressed further, she gave an answer that I wasn't expecting to hear."

Chloe closed her eyes before heaving a sigh.

"She said that the person who took the Cauldron of the Dagda was a Mermaid Princess," Chloe stated before opening her eyes to see Ethan's reaction. "I don't know how many Mermaid Princesses there are in this world, but there's a chance that the person who has the last

treasure of the Tuatha De Danann might be Illumina."

When she first heard it, she didn't want to believe it either.

However, if there was any truth in what the Nymph had told them, it meant that the Cauldron

was in the possession of someone that Ethan knew quite well.

"Illumina?" Ethan frowned. "And it happened four years ago?"

Ethan only became aware of Magic a little more than a year ago. This meant that he still hadn't met Illumina back then and also had no idea that the Wizarding World existed.

The young man sat beside Chloe and held her hand.

The two of them stared at each other for a minute before the young lady broke the silence.

"Do you have a way to contact her?" Chloe inquired.

"She didn't tell me how I could reach out to her," Ethan replied. "But she knows where to find me. So, I believe that she will make an appearance when the time is right."

Another sigh escaped the young lady's lips before she lowered her head.

"I just hope she appears before it's too late," Chloe stated. "There's no telling when the Fomorians will strike. But if the tell-tale signs I saw in my journey are true, then they will be coming soon to settle the debt between themselves and the Firbolgs, who all fled to the Shire

Continent."

Ethan quieted for a bit before summoning the Cauldron of Twilight.

"I was waiting for you to arrive, so you can verify if this is the Cauldron of the Dagda," Ethan said. "It seems that I'm mista-"

Before Ethan could even finish his sentence, Chloe's body glowed faintly, as if it was reacting to the black cauldron in front of her.

A moment later, she collapsed in Ethan's arms, looking very pale.

Ethan, who didn't know what just happened, looked at Chloe in surprise.

But this surprise quickly changed into horror because floating just above the young lady's chest was a shining red Origin Magic Crystal, which drained all the color from the young

man's face.
