Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

The reason the Oswald Barony had received a Baron title was due to Philip.

During his prime, he was the Personal Knight of the previous King, who had helped him fight on the battlefields to protect the country from those who wished to usurp it.

When the King passed the crown to the Crown Prince, Philip also retired because he didn\'t want to serve another Master.

Due to his loyalty and bravery in the battlefield, he was given a Baron\'s Title and awarded the lands at the border of the Kingdom.

The previous King wanted to make him at least an Earl, allowing him to obtain a land with greener pastures. But, Philip turned it down. His reason was that he was just a simple man, and wanted to live a simple life after his blade was no longer needed by his Lord.

He had grown many years older since then, but his skills as a Knight were still ingrained in his body.

Right now, Philip\'s blood was boiling.

It had been a long time since he had fought in a real battle, and the boy in front of him was going all out, and not pulling his punches.

This was truly a battle where they could get seriously injured, but for some reason, Philip couldn\'t stop grinning.

"Good! Good! Good!" Philip laughed as he regained his balance mid-air. "This brat really reminds me of myself when I was young. Damn, although I\'m more handsome than him, he still packs a punch. I guess it\'s time for me to get serious as well."

The old man took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.

\'He is using a Legacy. But, I\'m pretty certain that this is not the Legacy of the Rivers and Lakes,\' Philip thought. \'I have seen a Legacy Holder of that power before, and his control of the power was several times better than Ethan.

\'It seems that he is just manipulating the water and forcing it to follow his will. Although a bit crude, he still has a good grasp of the foundations. He\'s also used to fighting multiple enemies at once.\'

After confirming that Ethan didn\'t possess the Legacy of the Rivers and Lakes, Philip once again flew towards the battlefield. This time, his eyes were sharp, and he was holding his wand like the handle of a sword.

"Let\'s fight like old times, what do you say, my old friend?" Philip muttered as the wand in his hand glowed faintly as if agreeing with his proposal.

A silver blade emerged from the tip of the wand, transforming into a sword with the wand as its handle.

"Bruce, Dennis, Erik, distance yourselves from him and unleash your strongest spells," Philip commanded. "Don\'t think of anything else and just do it!"

\'Sh*t! Gramps has lost it!\' Dennis cursed internally. \'What if we accidentally kill this kid?!\'

Bruce and Erik were also hesitating. They only wanted to teach Ethan a lesson and not kill him. If they really went for the kill, even they wouldn\'t be able to shoulder the consequences.

"Don\'t worry," Philip muttered as he flew towards Ethan with the silver sword in hand, preparing to engage him in close combat. "Just do as I say! I will take responsibility!"

As someone that had fought many life and death battles in his life, Philip could actually sense something emanating from Ethan\'s body.

There were two powerful presences that seemed to be keeping watch over the battle, ready to interfere if the young man\'s life was truly in danger.

He could almost see their forms behind Ethan, and despite the fearless grin on his face, his heart couldn\'t help but shudder.

A creature with seven heads, standing over a hundred-meters tall. Its seven pairs of eyes were looking at him with amusement.

Another monster, this one with two protruding horns on his head, was clad in black flames.

Despite not seeing a face, Philip could sense the creature\'s devilish smirk, as if encouraging the old man to do his worst.

\'Damn, my granddaughter picked one hell of a boyfriend,\' Philip thought as the silver blade in his hand shone brightly, making him look like a white comet that was shooting towards the young man with the intention of ramming him.

Seeing Philip charge at him, Ethan felt the same level of danger that he sensed when he faced off against Conall, which resulted in him suffering from serious injuries.

"Illumina!" Ethan roared as the wand in his hand turned into particles of light, forming the image of a Mermaid princess behind him.

When he fought against Conall, he used everything in his arsenal, but he still didn\'t manage to win.

However, this time, it was different.

With the lake as a medium, Ethan had a source of power that he could draw upon to fight to his peak.

"Rising Dragon Thrust!" Ethan pulled back his arm and thrust forward, coating the Sea God\'s Trident in a torrent of water, forming the head of a Water Dragon that collided with the white comet headed his way.

The resulting clash sent both combatants flying backwards, as the force of their blows clashed against each other.

"Gladius Flagelli!" Philip shouted as soon as he regained his balance, and the silver sword in his hand extended towards Ethan like a sword whip.

"Aqua Anguis!" Ethan waved his trident and countless Water Serpents rose up from the lake to attack Luna\'s grandfather.

"Magna Fragor!" Bruce roared.

"Ventus Vulnus!" Erik shouted.

"Lapis Tormenti!" Dennis chanted.

Wind Blades, a Giant Fireball, and a Giant Boulder, smashed against the Water Snakes that were headed towards Philip, destroying them all.

Ethan tried to deflect the sword whip that had reached his location, but instead of deflecting it, the sword whip wrapped around the handle of his trident, holding him in place.

"Wow, this old man knows what he\'s doing," Sebastian commented.

"Seasoned warriors have plenty of battle experience," Ethan\'s Other Half commented. "He knew that the other members of his family would defend him, so he just focused on his attack without putting up a defense. This guy is trouble."

Ethan\'s two allies were having fun because they wanted to see how Ethan would fare against his opponents.

For the two of them, this was just part of his training. Although fighting four Wizards at the same time was difficult, they believed that Ethan had a way to overcome them.

"Gramps, you shouldn\'t be like this," Ethan said as he tried to pull Philip towards him. "You\'re not as young as you used to, what if you break your bones? Don\'t push yourself too hard."

"Hah! My wife\'s stick might break my bones, but your words will never hurt me." Philip laughed. "You think a brat like you can break my bones? I\'ve been fighting wars before you were even born!"

The old man then glanced at his family members and shouted.

"What the hell are you dimwits looking at? Attack him!" Philip ordered. "If you don\'t want to use your strongest spells then use paralyzing spells, or anything that can restrain him! Are you idiots?!"

Philip\'s shout broke Bruce, Dennis, and Erik out of their daze.

They immediately went to action and unleashed paralyzing spells at the young man, who was trying to free his trident from Philip\'s hold.

Illumina, who was hovering above Ethan, waved her hand and unleashed a barrage of Hydro Balls to disperse the spells that were aimed in Ethan\'s direction.

Although moving autonomously would drain the young man\'s magic reserves faster, she currently didn\'t have a choice but to do it.

At the moment, a black fireball shot out of nowhere, forcing Illumina to summon a water ball to disperse it.

"This looks fun," Rowan laughed as he joined the battle. "I knew that coming home a day sooner was a good choice!"

Seeing another contender enter the battlefield, Ethan and Illumina no longer held back. They were already hard-pressed with four wizards, but if Rowan joined the fight, they would definitely lose if they didn\'t stake everything on the line.

Countless Water Dragons rose up from the lake, roaring in anger as they fought the people who were trying to get in their Master\'s way. This had now truly become an all out battle, and Ethan knew that the longer the battle lasted, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

All the men had succumbed to their battle lust, transforming the lake into a raging battlefield, which made the hearts of the ladies who were watching the fight back at the Oswald Residence, feel their hearts beat wildly inside their chests.
