Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 1024: Unexpected Visit [Part 1]



"Well, well, well... look who's here."

A handsome man, munching on some beef jerky, looked at Ethan with a smile on his face.

In response, the young man blinked once, then twice, before finally understanding what just happened to him.

He momentarily shifted his attention away from the handsome man to get a better view of his surroundings.

Countless corpses of Monsters, both familiar and alien to him, lay on the ground. Blood of different colors dyed the land, making the scene look like a view from a horror story.

The handsome man didn't say anything and simply observed Ethan, still munching on his beef jerky.

Despite his carefree tone, he was actually feeling exhausted from days of non-stop fighting. He was merely taking a breather, taking in the view in the distance, where loud explosions were happening.

While the battle was still not over, it was clearly nearing its end.

Ethan, too, looked at the battle in the distance, using his X-Vision that could zoom in over great distances.

There, he saw a man, whose long black hair fluttered in the breeze, cutting one hellish monster after another.

Right beside him was a beautiful lady with long blue hair and icy cold eyes.

She would wave her wand every now and then, sending lightning bolts slamming at their enemies, incinerating the weaker ones and blasting holes through the stronger ones.

Perhaps, sensing his gaze, the beautiful lady glanced at Ethan's direction, and a look of shock and pleasant surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

She then mentioned something to the black-haired man beside her, making the latter also look in Ethan's direction.

However, the man said something, which made the beautiful lady reluctantly nod her head. The two of them then charged forward to finish what they started, making sure that their foes would understand that messing with them was a very bad choice.

A sigh escaped Ethan's lips before he retracted his vision.

His soul power wasn't that strong, so extended uses of his abilities in his Soul Form drained him very much.

After regaining his composure, he once again glanced at the handsome man, who was seated on top of a pile of corpses and had already opened another batch of beef jerky.

"Uncle, why are you slacking off?" Ethan asked.

Vincent Valentin almost choked on the jerky he had just stuffed inside his mouth after hearing his nephew's words.

"You damned brat!" Vincent glared. "Who's slacking off? Do you have any idea how long I've been fighting?! This is the fourth day! Fourth day, I tell you!"

Feeling aggrieved, he wanted to flick Ethan's forehead. However, he chose not to do that.

If he did that, the one who would suffer later would be him, right after his sister-in-law returned and found out that her son was no longer around.

Grumbling, he simply gave Ethan a snort, making the latter scratch his head.

"Sorry, Uncle," Ethan replied. "It's just that, every time I see you, you seem to be as free as the wind."

"Look, Ethan," Vincent said in a serious tone. "It's not my fault that I'm more handsome, more charming, and more suave than your father. People like me are high maintenance. We can't go on long campaigns without rest, okay?"

Knowing that this might be a good opportunity to make amends with his uncle, Ethan nodded and praised Vincent for his hard work.

"You're amazing, Uncle," Ethan replied. "What's your title again? You're a Conqueror? As expected of my Uncle!"

"That, I am." Vincent raised his chin arrogantly. "Whenever we expand our territories, it is up to people like me to stabilize it."

"As expected of Uncle, you're really amazing."

"Well, I am indeed amazing. Hahaha!"

Vincent knew that his nephew was just flattering him to get on his good side, so he asked Ethan to praise him more.

This time, it was Ethan who almost choked due to how shameless his Uncle was. However, meeting him was a very rare instance, so he decided to just go with the flow and make Vincent feel better about himself.

Several minutes later, Ethan sensed someone approaching his direction.

Even without turning around, he knew that it would be none other than his mother, Lady Catherine, whom he hadn't seen for a few months.

Ethan turned around, and just as he guessed, Catherine landed beside him and gave him a hug.

"Ethan!" Catherine hugged his son tightly.

Despite the young man being a soul, his mother was able to hug him as if she was hugging the real deal.

The Lands of Saraqael worked differently from others, and there were also Soul People fighting alongside the Defenders of Midgard.

Because of this, even though Ethan is just a soul, he was akin to a living, breathing person

within this special domain.

"How are you?" Lady Catherine asked as she pulled back to look at her son's face. "You look thinner. Are you eating properly? Are you sleeping on time?"

"I'm eating properly, mother," Ethan replied. "And yes, I am sleeping on time."

The young man felt his heart soften due to the affectionate gaze that his mother was giving

him.

Clearly, she missed him dearly, so she started to ask him many questions.

Ethan answered them all and even told her a few things, some of which shocked her and his Uncle, Vincent.

"You found Atlantis?!" Lady Catherine's eyes went wide as saucers. "I've been trying to find it for a long time but found nothing. How did you find it?"

"Actually, I just accidentally stumbled upon it when I was on my way to meet with Illumina," Ethan replied.

Vincent, who was listening to the side, muttered something along the lines of "as expected of my nephew" due to how amazing Ethan's story was.

When he shared the part where he killed King Oceanus and married Illumina, Lady Catherine's

jaw dropped.

"You got married?" Lady Catherine asked with a pout. "Why didn't you send a message? I could have attended your wedding. Illumina, right? Is she that Mermaid Princess that you've told me about in the past? The one that you and Joanne met in the Lands of Alastor?"

Ethan nodded. "Yes, Mother. That is indeed Illumina."

He then told them about the Ocean Races' Great Plan to conquer the kingdoms on land, making Vincent snort in contempt.

But it was when Ethan talked about the battle against the Fomorians that the handsome man's eyes glittered with a profound light.

Clearly, although wars were very common in the Lands of Saraqael, he knew that the Fomorians weren't a simple race.

"You've met King Arawn?" Lady Catherine smiled faintly after hearing the King of Annwn had left his kingdom. "That old fox usually likes to play mediator. But it's also a good opportunity

that you met with him. He has many connections, so he's worth befriending."

"I have something more to tell, Mother," Ethan said feeling a little anxious. "Just tell me anything," Lady Catherine, who could see the hesitation in his son's expression, smiled. "I have seen many things in life, and nothing much can surprise me easily." 'But you were surprised earlier when I told you that I killed King Oceanus,' Ethan thought. However, he didn't say it out loud, and decided to just spill the beans.

After all, his mother should know about this news that was very important for the Valentin

Family.

"My wife, Lily, is pregnant," Ethan said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lady Catherine's mouth hung open, while a coughing sound was heard in the background.

This time, Vincent was really choking due to the beef jerky that was stuck in his throat because Ethan's revelation truly took both of them by surprise.
