Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"We thank Her Excellency for her praise, but we weren’t the ones who held back the Invaders from World’s End," the Queen of the Drows said in a respectful tone. "It was these Humans and their comrades who faced off against the Monster Invasion. When we arrived, the battle was already over."

"I see..." Lady Hecate nodded. "Even so, well done. Regardless of the result, all of you still reacted quickly to defend our world from the Invaders. Your intention itself is commendable."

Hecate then shifted her gaze to Godfrey, who was also facing her and kneeling like a knight.

"Son of Vlad, I didn’t think that we would see each other again," Lady Hecate said.

"I had the same thought, Your Excellency," Godfrey replied with a smile. "But these Humans defeated me in battle, and according to our contract, I was to escort them here to World’s End to see you."

"Train more, son of Vlad," Lady Hecate stated. "Dark times are up ahead. You need to ensure that you will not lose again so easily."

"Understood, Your Excellency." Godfrey bowed respectfully.

The Progenitor of Magic then shifted her gaze to the young lady, who was currently trapped in a block of ice.

Her gaze pierced through Nicole’s heart, which had been frozen in ice.

"It seems that today is a day for the reunions of friends, both new and old," Lady Hecate commented the moment she saw the Fallen Angel of Ice and Hail inside Nicole’s heart.

A moment later, she once again shifted her gaze to the Half-Elf, who had come to see her after hundreds of years.

"I don’t know if you came at the right or the wrong time, but since you are already here, does that mean that HE is that person?" Lady Hecate asked.

"Yes," Hecate replied. "He is Ethan Gremory."

The Progenitor of Magic narrowed her eyes as she gazed at the unconscious young man, unraveling the secrets that he possessed.

A few seconds later, the corner of her lips rose into a faint smile as if she saw something very amusing.

’I see. So he is Ashmedai’s prized follower,’ Lady Hecate thought. ’Interesting.’

The Progenitor of Magic snapped her fingers, and the small purple vortex that Ethan, Nicole, and Hecate could faintly see earlier became visible to everyone.

The purple vortex slowly increased its size until it was dozens of meters wide.

It hung in the center of World’s End, right above the bottomless pit where the Red Chameleons had fallen earlier.

"You can all return," Lady Hecate commanded. "The battle on the other side has ended, and no monsters will pass through our world-at least, for the time being. Once again, good job in rising up to the challenge. I expect that all of you will do the same in the future."

«Yes, Your Excellency!"""

The Progenitor of Magic snapped her fingers once more.

A moment later, Ethan, Hecate, Nicole, Lyall, Conall, and Merric were pulled towards the Vortex, disappearing from everyone else’s side.

Godfrey, who had been left behind, wanted to ask the Progenitor if he could come too.

But before he could even open his mouth, Lady Hecate was covered in a bright flash of light before disappearing completely.

The Purple Vortex then slowly decreased in size before disappearing completely.

Godfrey sighed before shaking his head helplessly.

He wanted to know what was going to happen next, but it seemed that his wish would not be fulfilled at this time.

Even so, he decided to wait until Ethan’s group returned from their meeting with the Progenitor of Magic. Once they were back, he would ask them what transpired inside the Progenitor’s Domain.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Lands of Saraqael...

"This skirmish is more intense than usual," Vlad said as he looked down on Ashmedai, who was lying at the center of a giant crater. "Don’t you have any plans of getting up?"

"I want to lie down here a bit," Ashmedai replied. "Four Archons teamed up against me earlier. Fortunately, they didn’t manage to kill me."

"Indeed." Vlad nodded. "A pity. They should have tried harder."

A chuckle escaped Ashmedai’s lips because he could tell that the Vampire Progenitor was serious when he said that his enemies should have tried harder to kill him.

"The Blood God managed to breach Hecate’s turf and sent his minions to cross to Midgard," Ashmedai commented. "How was the damage?"

"They didn’t manage to gain a proper foothold," Vlad replied. "According to the Watcher, Ethan and his group dealt with them."

"Oh?" Ashmedai slowly propped himself up from the ground and dusted himself off. "It seems that my people saved the day."

"They did, but at a price," Vlad said. "According to the Watcher, Ethan has lost consciousness, and his comrades were greatly exhausted after the battle. They have now been taken inside of Hecate’s Domain. Who knows what will happen inside it? Aren’t you worried?"

"No," Ashmedai replied in a heartbeat.

"Are you sure?" Vlad arched an eyebrow. "Hecate can see through a person’s soul and a portion of their Fate. Aren’t you worried that she will discover Ethan’s secret?"

"Oh, she will." Ashmedai smirked. "But, I’m not worried."

"... Just where is that confidence of yours coming from?"

"Unlike me, Hecate is a very emotional person. She might always look aloof, but she is way more merciful than you and me combined."

Vlad pondered a bit before nodding his head.

"If you think he is in danger, you wouldn’t have allowed him to meet her in the first place," Vlad said.

"Exactly," Ashmedai replied. "However, there is still an eency weency chance that she will change her mind. She is very curious by nature, so she might want to dissect Ethan a bit."

"Isn’t that a problem?" Vlad asked.

"It is," Ashmedai answered. "But it is also fun this way. Isn’t it exciting? Will Hecate honor her word for a promise she made hundreds of years ago, or will she ignore it and tinker with an interesting specimen that will not be easy to come by again."

"I pity your people," Vlad commented. "I’m sure they have no idea how insane their Patron

Is."

Ashmedai laughed out loud because he found Vlad’s words very true.

But it was already too late for the Valentin Family to do anything because they had long been joined at the hips with Ashmedai.
