Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular
Chapter 325: Legacy Vs. Legacy [Part 2]

Cedric did his best to prevent his lips from twitching as he looked at the handsome young man, who had decided to challenge him topless.

Although he also had a lean and toned body due to his training, he would never take off his shirt and stand side by side with Ethan.

If he did that, he would just feel sorry for himself because of the difference in physique.

'Did this bastard come to fight or to show off?' Cedric gripped his sword tighter in annoyance.

After dueling with Ethan, he knew that he couldn't underestimate him because he had already lost to him once.

Although it was short, he had trained incredibly hard for this rematch. Fighting against the best Wizards and Witches of Nightfall Academy, increasing his battle sense to the best of his ability.

He believed that with his improvement, he would be able to overpower the person that was standing in front of him. Before Ethan defeated him, he thought that no one on the same grade was his match.

This was why after he lost, his mindset changed, and he became more hardworking than before.

Cedric wasn't aware that Ethan had fought someone, who was way beyond his league, more than a week ago.

After being defeated by Conall, the handsome young man's drive to become stronger had increased more than before.

The threat of fighting against Lily's Brother and, eventually, needing to face off against her father was giving Ethan so much pressure to the point that it was suffocating.

Of course, he made sure not to show his worries in front of his lovers because he didn't want them to feel anxious.

As soon as stepped on top of the arena and faced Cedric, a gust of wind blew inside the arena, bringing with it the smell and taste of rain.

"This is a friendly match, but both of you may go all out as much as you like. We have already erected all the safety measures available to our disposal," Professor Barret stated. "The fight will end if one of you falls out of the arena or surrenders."

While Professor Barret was explaining the rules, a drop of rain fell on top of Ethan's head, followed by more drops.

Seeing this scene, Professor Barret no longer delayed the battle and raised his hand.

"Let the duel begin!"

As soon as he gave the order to fight, he teleported outside of the arena, to let the two young men duke it out with each other.

Unlike their first battle, the two of them didn't attack their opponent right away.

"I'm going to fight you seriously," Cedric said as his entire body radiated with light. "If you hold back, I guarantee that this battle will end before you even know it ended."

Ethan didn't reply and simply took a fighting stance.

Holding his Sea God's Trident, his body's strength and prowess was boosted beyond the limits of normal humans.

Cedric also took his fighting stance, and the radiance around him grew stronger.

As if waiting for that moment, the rain descended in full, and Ethan's eyes glowed faintly in bluish light.

Thunder and lightning roared in the heavens as Cedric made his first move.

His body shone brighter and a pair of radiant wings grew behind his back. A moment later he rose towards the sky and pointed his sword at Ethan.

"Saltatio Lucis!"

Countless beams of light shot out from his body and flew in Ethan's direction. The Second Year from Nightfall Academy had activated his Legacy, Child of Light, and used the First and Second Levels of his Legacy.

The first level of his Legacy allowed Cedric to grow a pair of Radiant Wings on his back, giving him flight.

The second level of his Legacy was to harness the radiance inside his body, and surroundings, empowering his light spells.

Unfortunately, the sun was blocked by the dark clouds in the sky, so Cedric couldn't get additional firepower to boost his attacks.

Even so, that didn't mean that his attacks were weak, they were quite powerful, enough to overwhelm those who were not prepared to face such an attack.

Ethan stood motionless, as the beams of light descended upon his body like lasers. When one of these beams hit him, Ethan's body was pierced through, making Chloe almost shout out in fright.

Soon, more beams pummeled Ethan's body, boring holes into it. A moment later, the body collapsed in a puddle of water, making everyone gasp in shock.

"I guess he learned a new trick," Nicole commented, his eyes scanning the arena to look for the handsome young man, who disappeared completely from everyone's sights.

Lily nodded her head in agreement. This was the first time that Ethan had used such an ability, which made her wonder if her lover was doing an experiment.

Cedric frowned and scanned his surroundings, looking for his opponent.

The rain was falling so strongly that visibility had reduced significantly because of it.

However, it was not enough to completely prevent anyone from seeing the battle that was happening in the arena.

Suddenly, a water Dragon rose up to attack Cedric from the back.

The Second Year easily dodged it without too much effort because, after activating the First and Second Levels of his Legacy, his speed and Magical Power had increased as well.

Just as everyone thought that it was over, the Serpentine-Like Water Dragon roared.

A second later, three more Water Dragons appeared in the arena, and all of them charged at Cedric at the same time.

Despite being surrounded, he didn't panic and calmly dealt with the Water Dragons, using Light Spells to obliterate their bodies.

However, even if their bodies were destroyed, they would rise up again and again, making Cedric frown.

At the beginning of the battle, the Dragons moved slowly, making it easy for the Second Year to dodge and obliterate them with minimal effort.

But, as the minutes passed, the Water Dragons' speed suddenly increased, attacking him from every direction, including his blindspot.

"Scutum Luminis!"

A dome of light wrapped around Cedric's body, protecting him from the reckless tackles of the Water Dragons, whose speed was increasing as time went by.

The teenage boy ignored the Water Dragons as he tried to look for Ethan's location in the arena. Even though cracks had started to appear in his barrier, he didn't pay it too much attention.

He already understood that destroying the Water Dragons was useless because Ethan could recreate them over and over again.

Each time a Dragon was materialized, its speed and power steadily increased.

It was as if its caster was getting the hang of using the Water Dragons, and learning more about their abilities as time went by.

'Found you!' Cedric sneered as he threw his sword towards the Northeast part of the Arena.

"Magnae Crucis!"

Two pillars of light forming an "X", illuminated the entire arena. A moment later, a powerful shockwave blasted away all the water on its surface.

Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared, skidding several meters and almost falling off the arena.

If not for the fact that he had stabbed his trident on the ground, he might have been blown away by Cedric's attack.

The Second Year's sword disappeared from the arena, and reappeared in Cedric's hand.

"Saltatio Lucis!" Cedric roared.

Pointing his blade at his target, he once again chanted a spell, sending countless beams of light that surpassed his earlier attack.

He intended to end this battle as soon as possible because he could feel that his opponent had several more tricks up his sleeve, making the result of their duel unpredictable.
