Wizard World Irregular

“N-No! Don’t! Forgive me! Please! Spare me!”” A witch cried out in horror when she found herself surrounded by hundreds of Fairies, whom she and her group had been killing mercilessly a few hours ago.

A broken token laid on the palm of her hands, and she was holding onto it so tightly that her hands were already bleeding.

The moment she realized that there was no hope for escape, she broke the token that would allow her to teleport back to Westshire.

But, to her utter shock and horror, nothing happened even after the token broke in her hand.

“Nooooooooo!”

The woman shrieked as countless water spears pierced through her body, dying while being held over the water.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

The pain was simply too much for her to bear, but the Fairies around her all giggled, bringing her to the edge of despair.

“When our sisters pleaded, did you spare them?” one of the Fairies, whose eyes were glowing crimson, asked coldly. “In your eyes, we were nothing but insects that you can crush. But, now that our Queen is here, it is tfor all of you to atone for your sins.”

“And that atonement is none other than a slow, and painful death~” another Fairy added before summoning a water sword, which stabbed on the young lady’s thigh, making her scream in pain.

It was not only her who was screaming.

Her teammates, who made her feel as if they were unstoppable, were suffering the sfate.

All the Fairies were slowly but surely killing them and relishing every second of it.

After receiving their Queen’s Blessing, their powers had increased exponentially, making them four times stronger than they were in the past.

The Wizards and Witches realized this too late when their spells, which had killed countless Fairies in the past, were easily dispelled.

What followed next was a one-sided beating that forced them to bring out their tokens and break them to escape.

But, with Celestia’s power encompassing the entire world, not a single thing would be able to enter or leave without her permission.

Another round of cheers and giggles reverberated in the air as the Fairies continued to torture their foes, making the pitiful Wizards and Witches regret their earlier act of antagonizing the Water Fairies, who were just defending their hfrom invaders.

Somewhere in the Legacy Domain…

“Just allow yourselves to be captured,” a Water Fairy said after sealing several Elves and Wood Fairies in a bubble of water, preventing them from escaping.

“Heh~ Aren’t you all lucky?” another Fairy rhetorically commented. “If you had killed even one of our sisters, all of you would be suffering right now.”

“Do you hear it?” a Water Fairy who flew close to a Wood Fairy asked with a sneer on her beautiful face. “The cries and shouts of the sinners who will be offered to our Queen? Worry not, for all of you will bear witness to her greatness as she breaks free from this prison.

“Don’t worry. If you’re lucky enough, our Queen will show you Mercy and have all of you reborn to becour sisters. This is the greatest honor that all of you can receive from Her Majesty.”

The Elves and the Wood Fairies had grim expressions on their faces after hearing the Water Fairies’ crazed words.

But right now, they didn’t have a choice.

They only had two options—accept the Fairy Queen’s blessing, turning them into Water Fairies, and keep their lives, or reject her mercy and die as sacrifices.

Both options were bad, and the only thing they could do was hope that someone could cand save them from the nightmare that they found themselves in.

Ethan’s group, which was still dozens of miles away from the Blue Pillar, saw a flash of light that appeared in front of them.

And from that light, there emerged a little fairy who was no bigger than Lyall’s pinky finger.

“Aria?” Nika, who immediately recognized the Gatekeeper of the Sacred Altar, flew toward the little Fairy with surprise. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at the altar?”

“Nika!” Aria immediately clung to the High Pixie and started to cry her eyes out. “Wuwuwu! I’m scared!”

“Calm down,” Nika hugged the trembling fairy and patted her back. “Tellwhat happened. Why are you so far from the Sacred Altar?”

“Wuwuwu!”

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Ethan asked. “Why are you crying?”

Aria raised her head to look in the direction where she heard the voice and cface to face with Ethan, who was in his Salmon form.

The little Fairy’s body suddenly stiffened before losing consciousness.

Lyall, who was watching from the side, giggled. It was very obvious that Aria fainted out of fright upon seeing a fish, who could swallow her whole, appear beside her.

“Let’s retreat for now,” Conall proposed as he looked in front of them. “I sense something extremely dangerous in front. If the Gatekeeper is here, then it could only mean one thing. Something has happened at the Sacred Altar, and whatever it is, it’s definitely bad news for us.”

Conall trusted his instinct very much.

His senses were telling him that continuing to head to the Altar was an extremely dangerous thing to do.

Ethan, who also sensed danger ahead of them, nodded in agreement.

“Nika, do you know any good places to hide in these parts?” Ethan asked.

The High Pixie nodded. “I know a place with clusters of tall water grasses. We can hide there.”

Although she didn’t say it out loud, Nika also felt that something had gone terribly wrong, and the thought made her skin crawl.

All Water Fairies were somehow connected to each other, and the prickling sensation that she was feeling made her feel fearful.

Everyone was in agreement that they shouldn’t do anything reckless until they heard the full story from Aria, who was currently unconscious.

It was at that moment when Lyall and Conall heard a faint, blood-curdling scream in the distance, making their faces turn solemn.

“Let’s go,” Ethan said. “This place is no longer safe.”

Nika nodded and flew in the direction where the tall grasses of the Wetlands were located.

They would hear distant screams from tto tas they headed toward their destination, making them increase their pace.

As they were traveling to their destination, Ethan manipulated the water around them and created countless fishes that were only three inches long.

‘Find my teammates and see what is happening around us,’ Ethan ordered his creations. ‘Go!’

After transforming into a Salmon, the young man was starting to understand the abilities he possessed in his current form.

Using his Origin Magic, Mimir’s Wisdom, Ethan’s mental and spiritual powers had gone beyond the norm, allowing him to create countless spies that were fully under his control.

What he didn’t know was that someone from Midgard was watching everything that was happening inside the domain and found it quite amusing.

‘To think I would be able to see such an entertaining event from far away. Marking that boy was worth it.’

Seated on his throne, the King of Fairies, Oberon, smirked as he gazed at the Salmon with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“Celestia huh?” Oberon chuckled. “A very troubleslady has awakened. Now, what are you going to do, little Salmon?’

The King of Fairies couldn’t stop himself from smiling because all of this was simply too entertaining for him.

He wasn’t the least bit worried even if Celestia were to return to the world. After all, she was his kin, and neither of them would do anything to hurt each other’s interest.
