Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 971: Aftermath Of The Battle

"This little guy is quite cute," Illumina said as she lightly poked the Golden Egg perched on Ethan's shoulder.

"I am not cute." The Golden Egg replied. "I am amazing!"

"Of course, you are."

"Hehehe."

The Golden Egg was in a very good mood because the One-Eyed Giant's Life Essence was incredibly tasty.

As one of the Chieftains of the Fomorians, he had lived for hundreds of years, and he was truly a strong monster.

Just a few hours ago, the sea was littered with the countless bodies of the Fomorians. Now, none of them could be seen.

The members of the Ocean Races, who liked to eat flesh and meat, all feasted on the flesh of their defeated enemies.

The Naga King claimed the One-Eyed Giant's Body as a reward of his participation in battle, and no one dared to compete against him.

After the battle ended, Ethan thanked all the members of the Ocean Races before entering the City of Atlantis to prepare for his journey back to the Shire Continent.

The Ocean Races only had the absolute advantage in the sea, so Ethan had no plans to bring them to fight on the land because that would weaken them greatly.

'It will take a week for the Fomorians to arrive at the Shire Continent with their current flight speed,' Ethan thought. 'I just hope Professor Rinehart will have everything handled by then.' The City of Atlantis was the most advanced city under the sea. It also had countless magical artifacts, including ships that could travel both on water and in the sky.

Ethan planned to use one of these magical ships to travel deep underwater.

Using them would also make it very easy for him to overtake the Flying Ships and reach the Shire Continent before they did.

Although he wanted to harass the Fomorian Army more, he deemed that it was no longer possible. If he tried, there was a chance that he would be seriously injured, or worse, dead, if he faced such a powerful army on his own.

If they were fighting in the sea, then Ethan would win hands down. But, the sky wasn't his domain.

The only thing he could do was to join the Defenders of the Shire Continent and face the Fomorian Army with the forces that were available to them.

Truth be told, Ethan wasn't feeling pessimistic about the battle on land.

His Father-in-Law, the Beast King, Seff, was an incredibly powerful individual. Also, Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret were also capable of summoning Perfect Resonances, making them true powerhouses.

"Lord Leviathan, I'll leave Atlantis in your care," Ethan said to the Guardian of the Sea.

"Understood." Leviathan nodded. "You should be careful as well."

After bidding goodbye to everyone, Ethan, Illumina, Princess Wilhelmina, and Princess Ariel boarded the Atlantean Ship, which looked like a swordfish and a submarine combined.

The Ship traveled swiftly under the water, zooming out like a torpedo.

The good thing about this ship was that it had autopilot, which meant that Ethan didn't need to maneuver it personally.

"Let's all rest for now," Ethan told the three Mermaid Princesses. "With this ship's speed, we will arrive at the Shire Continent in three days. Once we're there, please stay as close to me as possible. Also, are the two of you capable of changing your fish tails into human legs?"

"We can do that," Princess Ariel replied.

As if proving her point, she transformed her fish tail into legs. However, there was one problem.

She was naked down below.

Ethan hurriedly turned around, making Illumina laugh.

The Mermaid Princess knew that Princess Ariel did it on purpose in order to observe what kind of reaction Ethan would have after seeing her lower part naked.

Princess Wilhelmina, who was also about to transform earlier, paused because she had forgotten this matter as well.

Fortunately, she had been a step too late. As soon as she saw that Princess Ariel was naked, she stopped her transformation midway, saving Ethan the trouble of seeing her naked as well. "You girls take your time," Ethan said. "Illumina, if you have some spare clothes to give them, please share them."

When they were still in the Magdar Kingdom, the young man bought Illumina many clothes. Although they weren't as fashionable as the clothes of the current generation, it was still enough to cover their bodies.

'I'll make sure I buy them some clothes when we arrive in Limeburgh Town,' Ethan thought as he moved towards his cabin inside the ship.

Illumina watched him go with a smile before shifting her attention to Princess Ariel, who was also smiling back at her.

"You sure have a belly full of tricks, Ariel," Illumina said.

"Compared to you, I still fall far short," Princess Ariel replied. "Imagine cradle snatching the future Prince of Atlantis before he is even born. I am very impressed by your foresight. Can you give me some tips?"

Illumina ignored her words and simply asked her if she had clothes to wear.

Since Princess Ariel had gone to the Surface World to look for the Cauldron of Dagda, Illumina believed that she had some human clothes with her.

Princess Ariel indeed had clothes, and they were even quite fashionable. Since she and Princess Wilhelmina had the same chest size, the Mermaid Princess who specialized in defense didn't need to look for clothes to wear.

With the matter of the clothes settled, Illumina told them to pick any of the rooms that were available inside the ship.

After that, she went to where Ethan was, so she could help her husband relieve his stress. Princess Ariel looked at Illumina's retreating back with a knowing smile on her face. "Do you know? She is not His Highness' first wife?" Princess Ariel asked. "She's not?" Princess Wilhelmina arched an eyebrow. "I thought she was his first wife."

"No," Princess Ariel shook her head. "I talked to His Highness during the wedding reception. I asked if he planned to marry other wives, and he said that he had married someone before he married Illumina.

"Also, he has eight other lovers aside from her. It seems that although our dear friend had called dibs on His Highness, she was still a bit late in entering the harem."

Princess Wilhelmina didn't know how to react to the information that was given to her just

now.

Only after a few minutes had passed did she find the words to say.

"She's still his second wife," Princess Wilhelmina said. "Although His Highness has lovers, a

wife is still different from fiances."

"You have a point." Princess Ariel nodded. "I am really looking forward to meeting His Highness' other lovers. I'm sure that all of them are wonderful ladies."

Princess Wilhelmina looked at her friend with a weird expression on her face. She knew that Princess Ariel was a very smart and cunning woman.

'It's not my business,' Princess Wilhelmina thought.

After receiving a few sets of clothes from Princess Ariel, the Mermaid Princess went to one of

the vacant rooms to rest.

"Such a straight-laced woman," Princess Ariel muttered when Princess Wilhelmina finally disappeared from her view. "Still, since she's easy to read, Ethan wouldn't have problems having her accompany him."

The Mermaid Princess couldn't help but smile bitterly because she was aware that she didn't really have a very good reputation.

Whenever she was talking to the young man, she could feel that Ethan was always on guard

around her.

With a sigh of acceptance, Princess Ariel also went to one of the vacant rooms to rest.

Although she looked fine on the surface, the battle against the Fomorians had taken a toll on her, and she needed to rest to recuperate from her exhaustion.

They were not aware that while they were resting, the Fomorians were having a heated

discussion on what their next course of action would be once they arrived at the Shire

Continent.

A/N: Only one chapter today. I just finished writing a 5,000 word summary for an advertisement of Strongest Warlock, and I'm already at my limit. I cannot write anymore today because Ely feels like dying. Kekeke.
