The three Sorcerers were battle-hardened Warriors. You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★
Although the surprise attack managed to deprive them of their flying mounts, they still had several spells in their arsenal.
One of them used Wind Magic to float in the air, preventing himself from falling into the sea.
The other used Ice Magic to freeze the surface of the water, allowing him to have a platform to stand on.
The last one activated an artifact that summoned an Air Elemental, saving him from being dragged down into the water alongside his flying mount.
Ethan’s figure appeared above the water, riding on top of a Water Dragon. The King had already warned them that there was a possibility that they would be pursued by some of the Sorcerers, so he had long devised this plan to deal with them.
“Aqua Anguis!” Ethan shouted as he waved his Trident.
A moment later, countless water snakes, numbering in the tens of thousands, rose up from the sea, the sight of which made the faces of the Sorcerers turn grim. When they pursued the Princess, they knew that there was going to be a battle.
But, they never expected that they would be facing this kind of battle.
The Sorcerer who had created an icy platform on top of the sea summoned five-meter-tall Ice Walls, blocking the Water Snakes that were headed in his direction.
To his surprise, the Ice Walls he had erected shattered in the span of a few seconds as thousands of Water Snakes broke through his defenses.
In a moment of desperation, he unleashed his strongest spell, creating an absolute ice field that spread for hundreds of meters.
The Water Snakes all turned into ice and shattered into pieces, allowing him to let out a sigh of relief.
However, Ethan simply waved his hand, and the frozen sea started to form cracks in its surface.
A moment later, several giant tentacles emerged from under the ice, making Seventh despair.
“Noooooooooo!” Seventh shouted as the Kraken sent one of its giant tentacles to grab him and pull him to the depths of the Sea.
“One down,” Ethan said coldly before he shifted his gaze towards the other two Sorcerers, who were busy defending themselves from the assault of countless water snakes, making them start to feel desperate.
“Stop!” one of the Sorcerers, who had grown wings behind his back, shouted.

“Princess Ramona was a good student, so Lily had fun teaching her Ice Magic,” Ethan said before throwing another log on the campfire, making sure that the flames continued to burn brightly through the night. “Although we regret not seeing her become the Queen of the Magdar Kingdom, we believed that she would have been a wise ruler who truly cared for her people.”
“You didn’t know if she became Queen?” Chloe asked.
Ethan shook his head. “When the time came that we could finally return to the present, the only thing on our mind was to get back home as soon as possible.
“Although it is regrettable, if there is an opportunity to visit the Magdar Kingdom in the future, I’ll be sure to go to see what became of Princess Ramona after she returned to her kingdom.”
There was a faint smile on Ethan’s face as he thought of the little girl, who made a lasting impression on him.
‘She even made such a silly promise,’ Ethan thought of the day when the little girl clung to him and Lily, with tears streaming down her eyes, as she asked them to stay in the Lands of Alastor and no longer return to their own time period.
Of course, Ethan and Lily didn't budge, making the little girl cry for an entire night.
The next day, she decided to return to the Magdar Kingdom because she didn’t want to be there when the two of them finally left.
But before Princess Ramona departed, she promised Ethan one thing.
Ethan didn’t take her promise seriously because, for him, what she said was quite impossible to achieve.
However, he still nodded his head because he knew that if he refused to acknowledge the Princess’ words, she would throw a tantrum and maybe, just maybe, attack Ethan with everything she had, which would have been a very scary thing to deal with.
The young man wasn’t exaggerating when he said that Princess Ramona’s magical power was just as powerful as Luna’s during the night of the full moon.
He didn’t know if there were other Magicians who had the same power as her in the past, but if there were, they would certainly become the leaders of their own Eras.
“What was the promise that she made you back then?” Luna asked in a curious tone.
“That’s right,” Chloe commented. “Don’t leave us hanging. Spill the beans.”
Even Emma, Lilith, and Selene, perked their ears up while waiting for Ethan’s answer.
“That’s a secret,” Ethan replied firmly. “Also, it is only the willful wish of an eleven-year-old child who lived hundreds of years ago. It is impossible to fulfill. Ah, before I forget. Don’t bother asking Lily about this. She doesn’t know, and even if she knew, she wouldn’t tell any of you.”
Chloe pouted because her curiosity wasn’t sated. However, she decided to no longer insist on the topic and simply asked Ethan to tell them more stories about his adventures in the past that he hadn’t shared with anyone.
The young man was more than happy to comply and told them more of his and Lily’s adventures until the longest night of the year finally gave way to a new day.
