Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Aside from the annoying White Raven, whom it had attempted to eat in the past, there was no other monster who had beaten it in combat.

Since then, whenever the Elder Red Dragon saw the White Raven delivering letters, it made sure to stay clear of its path, not wanting to get hurt a second time.

However, it seemed that it had also targeted the wrong people this time.

Originally, it only planned to scare Ethan\'s entourage for an ego boost. The main reason why it still hadn\'t been hunted down was due to the fact that it had made a deal with the authorities of Eastshire.

It would not eat any Humans, and in exchange, they would allow it to freely wander Eastshire without being hunted down.

The Elder Red Dragon wasn\'t expecting that the two witches who were traveling with the young man would engage it in combat.

Of course, the Dragon believed that the two witches weren\'t its match.

Unfortunately, it was wrong.

One of the Witches summoned an Ice Dragon, and to make matters worse, both of them used the Ice Element.

Although the dragon was young, it was a very talented individual, and its synergy with the Witch that summoned it was very good.

The other Witch, on the other hand, was also super annoying. She would cast spells that always targeted the Elder Red Dragon\'s eyes, forcing it to divide its attention between its two opponents, greatly impacting its offensive abilities.

Due to the agreement it made with Professor Rinehart and Wallace, promising that it wouldn\'t kill any Humans, the Dragon did the only thing that it could do, and that was to make a hasty retreat.

"Oi! Timeout!" The Elder Red Dragon had no choice but to use telepathy to talk to the two Witches in order to diffuse the situation. "Hey! I was just joking earlier! If you continue to attack me, I will get angry!"

"Then get angry," Nicole smirked. "It\'s your fault that you attacked us first."

Unlike Ethan, Lily, and Emma, Nicole knew that the Elder Red Dragon had a special agreement with the officials of Eastshire.

It was also because of this reason that she decided to engage it in a battle to teach it a lesson.

"You brats!" The Elder Red Dragon finally had enough and decided to fight seriously. "You\'ll regret this!"

It unleashed Dragon\'s Fear, making the Ice Dragon, Nicole, and Emma momentarily feel as though an invisible wall slammed into them, making them stagger mid-flight.

Seeing that the three annoying flies had finally been repelled, the Elder Red Dragon then circled before charging in their direction.

Using Draconic Magic, it unleashed countless Fire Bullets at its enemies, forcing them to go on the defensive.

"You Humans don\'t know when to compromise, huh?!" the Elder Red Dragon roared. "This will teach you to not mess with me again!"

With a roar filled with fury, the Elder Dragon unleashed a Dragon\'s Breath, targeting the Ice Dragon, Snowflake.

Since the Ice Dragon was using its body to protect Nicole from the Fire Bullets, it was unable to raise its defenses fast enough to protect itself from the Dragon\'s Breath.

But at that exact moment, a blazing spear flew past the Ice Dragon and collided with the Elder Red Dragon\'s attack, resulting in an explosion in the sky.

The Breath Attack was dispelled, and the Flaming Spear returned to Ethan\'s hand.

"Okay, that\'s enough," Ethan said. "Let\'s stop here before someone gets seriously hurt."

The Dragon narrowed its eyes as it looked at the young man, who was now hovering between it and its enemies.

After this brief standoff, the Dragon scoffed before flying away.

The young man was giving the same vibe as the White Raven that had beaten it up in the past, so the Elder Dragon decided to trust its instincts and leave with its dignity intact.

"Are the three of you alright?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah," Nicole replied. "I got carried away playing with Redneck."

"That\'s that Dragon\'s name?" Ethan inquired.

Nicole nodded. "It\'s famous around these parts. It is one of the three Elder Red Dragons of Eastshire. It is also the only one among the three who doesn\'t eat and kills Humans."

"How did you know that it was Redneck instead of one of the other two dragons?" Lily asked out of curiosity.

"The two other Dragons have a faint white line on their necks," Nicole answered. "Only Redneck doesn\'t have this mark, so he was given the name Redneck to differentiate him from the other two."

The young lady then lightly patted the Ice Dragon\'s neck.

"I missed you, Snowflake," Nicole said.

"I missed you too, Nicole," Snowflake replied. "Are you going back to the academy?"

"Yes. We\'ll be back in two days at most."

"Then, should I travel with you?"

Nicole shook her head. "No need. Just wait for me in the academy."

"Understood." Snowflake nodded. "I\'m going back to the academy."

Nicole then waved her wand and created a magic circle that would teleport the Ice Dragon back to the academy.

She had asked Professor Barret to help her with this matter so that she could summon the Ice Dragon to her side whenever she was within the territory of Eastshire.

Ever since Snowflake had been acknowledged as one of the Guardians of Bryhildr Academy, she had been receiving special treatment from Professor Rinehart, allowing her to have her own personal place at the back of the academy.

Her usual playmates were the Water Fairies who lived in the lake, forming a mutual friendship with them.

"Well, then. Shall we continue our journey?" Ethan asked before giving the spectators who had followed them a sidelong glance.

"Let\'s." Nicole nodded before following Ethan\'s lead.

Since some of the spectators were also students from the academy, they decided to join Ethan\'s entourage so that they would be safer on their return trip.

The young man didn\'t mind having dozens of Wizards and Witches flying behind them as they headed toward the academy.

A place where they would spend another year learning magic, facing challenges, and building relationships with their schoolmates in the most prestigious magical academy in Eastshire.
