Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 875: The Taste Of Origin Magic [Part 2]



"Samantha, wake up," Ethan said as he lightly tapped the young lady's face, trying to wake her up from her daze.

The other Witches, who were conscious, looked at Ethan with hopeful gazes as they tried to catch his attention.

"Please free us," one of the Witches softly muttered with great difficulty. "Please... before the Witch returns."

Ethan glanced in her direction and called Dainsleif, who was guarding outside.

"Dainsleif, free them!" Ethan ordered before shifting his attention back to Samantha, who seemed to regain her consciousness.

"E-Ethan?" Samantha said weakly.

"Yes, it's me. I'm taking you out of this place."

Ethan tapped the chains that bound the young lady, freeing her from her shackles.

The young man then grabbed hold of Samantha, who no longer had the strength to support itself.

"You've seen me naked, Ethan," Samantha said with a smile. "I can no longer marry."

"If you can joke like that then it means that you're fine," Ethan replied in relief.

Suddenly, a scream escaped the lips of one of the Witches, who saw Dainsleif materialize in front of her.

"Monster!" the Witch cried out in panic as the Ancient Wendigo reached out toward her hand.

A moment later, the chain that bound her turned to dust, freeing her hand.

"Don't worry, he's an ally," Ethan said as he glanced in the direction of the witch who just screamed. "He will help free all of you, so just wait patiently."

The young man took off his robe and covered Samantha's body with it.

Holding the young lady in his arms, he then pointed his wand at the other young ladies who were bound by chains.

"Aqua Anguis!" several Water Snakes the size of his arm coiled around the girls' bodies, breaking the chains that bound them.

One by one, the Water Snakes gently put them down on the floor, but since they were unable to move, Ethan had no choice but to conjure more Water Snakes to free the other girls.

When the last lady was released, Ethan heard his Other's Half's voice in his ears.

'Ethan, this is bad,' Ethan's Other Half said. 'All of them are not in a state where they can use their magic. Samantha has it worst. She no longer has any magic inside her body.'

'What do you mean?' Ethan asked with a frown.

"That gem in her chest, it's the crystallization of her Origin Magic,' Ethan's Other Half explained. 'Once that is removed, she will no longer be able to use magic for the rest of her life.

'Judging from the looks of things, this place is where the Origin Magic of Witches is being harvested. If my guess is right, the Witch that Dantalion saw earlier had managed to consume a good amount of Origin Magic. If that's really the case, you and these girls are in a dangerous situation.'

'Ethan, I feel something ominous coming from that black cauldron,' Sebastian commented.

The young man glanced at the cauldron and felt a fluctuation of magic coming from it.

"The girls who had their Origin Core eaten by the Witch were devoured by that Cauldron," Samantha said weakly.

'I knew it.' Sebastian clicked his tongue. 'But there's a chance that some of the girls devoured by that cauldron are still alive. We need to take it back with us.'

Ethan nodded before shifting his attention to Dainsleif. "Dainsleif, take all the witches outside. I'll carry Samantha myself."

Dainsleif nodded and used the power of Gravity to carry the girls outside, while Ethan carried Samantha in a princess carry.

He then walked toward the cauldron in an attempt to store it inside his storage ring, but when Ethan was only a step away from it, a black liquid shot out from the cauldron's opening, catching Ethan by surprise.

'Shit! It's a Domain!' Sebastian cursed. 'Ethan, get out now!'

But, just as Ethan was about to run away, an enchanting and seductive voice reached his ears. "Where do you think you're going, handsome?"

Ethan glanced at his surroundings and found himself standing on what seemed to be a flower field under the light of a crimson moon.

No stars could be seen in the sky, and although it seemed to be night time, the flowers around him were shining brightly in different colors.

Ethan noticed that aside from him and Samantha, there were dozens of young ladies who were lying in the flower field, all naked and looking up at the dark sky in a daze.

"Welcome to Paradise, young Wizard," the beautiful lady with dark brown hair and green eyes said with a smile. "If I knew that a guest was coming, I would have prepared some snacks for you. Oh, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself. The name is Sofia Devonshire. How about you?"

"Ethan Gremory," Ethan replied while his eyes scanned his surroundings.

"Oh, dear. Are you looking for a way out?" Sofia giggled. "It seems that a Prince has come to save a damsel in distress."

Sofia then snapped her fingers, and all the young ladies, who were lying dazed on the ground, all stood up one by one and looked at Ethan with eyes that were glowing in a purple light. "But you're being unfair, Mr. Prince," Sofia said. "Why are only saving one damsel, when so many are looking to be saved?"

"What have you done to them?" Ethan asked. "What are your goals?"

"I freed them from the responsibility of Magic," Sofia replied. "They are so young. Their youth and Magic are wasted on them. Since that is the case, I decided to take responsibility and use their Magic and youth for them. Aren't I nice?"

"You monster," Ethan glared. "Your schemes have already been revealed. It will be best for you to surrender now!"

"Surrender?" Sofia shook her head. "I think you still don't understand your current situation. While I am greatly troubled that my precious Witches have been taken away from me, it

doesn't matter.

"There are countless young Witches in the world. I just need to lay low for a month or two

before I start a new round of harvest. As for you..."

Sofia smiled sweetly as he eyed Ethan from head to foot.

"You can be my toy," Sofia said. "How about it? If you agree, I'll let you play with these ladies

as well? All of them are still chaste maidens. I'm sure they will satisfy you. If not, I'll find more. So, how about it? Do you accept my proposal?"

Instead of giving an answer, Ethan raised his wand, and pointed it towards the sky.

"Grand Aria!"

The smile on Sofia's lips widened a bit as she looked at the young man who had entered her

Domain.

"It won't work," Sofia said. "The moment you stepped inside this domain, all the magic in your body had been dispersed completely. This is my trump card against Wizards and Witches. The only downside is that it only works on one person at a time."

Ethan tried to feel any traces of magic inside his body, but just as the Witch had said, he couldn't feel anything inside of him.

Even the Moon Magic Cores that were stored inside his heart were nowhere to be found.

The worst of all was that he couldn't communicate with Sebastian and his Other Half.

This lack of connection only happened whenever Ethan was in a special place that had laws preventing intervention from others.

The young man's expression turned grim as he looked at the Witch who was hovering in the air with a confident smile on her face.

"Interesting... I was planning to take your Origin Magic to make you subservient to me, but I don't see any traces of Origin Magic inside your body," Sofia eyed Ethan with great curiosity.

"Are you perhaps a Dud?"

Ethan didn't answer, which made the Witch chuckle.

"I see. This must be fate!" Sofia said after laughing. "This makes things easier! I have a proposal for you, Ethan Gremory."

The Witch extended her hands towards the young man, as if she was inviting him to dance

with her.

"Join me, Ethan," Sofia stated. "If you do, I'll let you have a taste of Origin Magic. I'm sure

that you will be addicted to it. Once you do, you will no longer be a Dud. You'll become a proper Wizard, and you can take revenge on those who scorned you in the past and made your life miserable just because you were born a Dud."
