Chapter 450 Knight And Seek [Part 3]
“Last two minutes,” one of the Nobles said as he gripped his wand firmly. “This is going to be one fine night.”
All the other Wizards and Witches had also drawn out their wands and other magical weapons, prepared to join the hunt.
Any type of Magic was allowed as long as they didn’t use it to kill. But even if they were to attempt to use Magic to kill, there was no chance of anyone dying under the Grand Archmage’s watch.
Lord Edmond had already activated the special runes within the palace grounds to prevent any accidents from happening.
If someone were about to die, they would immediately be teleported to the Main Event Hall, preventing them from getting seriously injured by the spells that would be used during the hunt.
Although the rule was that killing wasn’t allowed, the Nobles rarely followed this rule and simply showcased their power in order to attract potential partners during this grand event.
“One minute,” King Austen smirked. “Otto has a very high opinion of Ethan. I want to see with my own eyes what he saw in that boy.”
Edmond didn’t say anything but kept his eyes focused on the crystal ball in front of them.
When the last drop of sand fell on the hourglass, all the Nobles began to move.
The Hunt had started, and they wanted to be one of the people to catch one of the Knights, which would earn them a reward from the King himself.
Ethan and Nicole were also aware that the game had started, but they didn’t care.
They were heading straight to their fifth fountain with their brooms, flying low to prevent anyone from seeing them from the sky.
When Ethan saw their destination, he sped up and dipped the tip of the trident into the water of the fountain.
“We got the third of them,” Nicole said. “Do you want to head to the next one?”
Ethan was tempted to say yes, but he could feel that their pursuers were currently hot in their trails.
“Give me a minute,” Ethan said as he embedded the Sea God’s Trident on the fountain. “There is something I want to try.”
Nicole nodded and unsheathed her rapier from its scabbard.
She then hovered above Ethan, paying close attention to their surroundings.
“All rivers lead to the sea,” Ethan muttered.
“So, hear my call…”
“And come…”
“To…”
“Me!”
The young man’s eyes glowed with power as he burned through his Magical Reserves.
Before coming to the Royal Palace, he had kissed all of his lovers, the Fairies in the Garden, and even got Luna’s help to store two orbs of her condensed magical power inside his body.
He even brought six magical batteries with him as a backup.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Ethan had armed himself to the teeth.
His magical power seemed endless, and thanks to his Magic Circuits, which had shown signs of complete recovery, he was able to store his Magic Power for a few days without a problem.
Suddenly, the castle grounds shook, catching everyone by surprise.
“Are we under attack?!”
“What’s this? An earthquake?!”
“Don’t panic! Maybe this is just a short tremor!”
While all of this was happening, the fountains that the Sea God’s Trident had touched earlier all shot water upward, which reached dozens of meters into the air in great volumes, making it seem like it was raining.
Five fountains did this at the same time, drenching those that were nearby.
Ethan, whose eyes were still glowing with magic power, grabbed his spear and pointed it at the sky.
“Aqua Pandemonium!” Ethan roared, and on cue, the Sea God’s Trident shone radiantly, forcing Nicole to cover her eyes.
The Wizards and Witches who were looking for Ethan’s and Nicole’s whereabouts suddenly saw the brilliance in the distance.
“There! Hurry!”
“Damn it!”
“I’ll be the first to catch them!”
“Charge!”
Dozens of Wizards and Witches flew in the direction of the light.
But something unexpected happened, which they didn’t foresee.
The water droplets in the air all merged together until they were the size of golf balls.
A moment later, these Water Balls shot out toward the Wizards and Witches at great speeds. When they realized what was happening, it was already too late.
“Argh!”
“What’s happening?!”
“It hurts!”
“Mommy!”
Just like Ethan had declared it was complete Pandemonium.
With five Fountains creating a Pseudo-Rain within the territory where Ethan was, he was in complete control of his element.
“Now, Nicole!” Ethan shouted, breaking the young lady from her daze.
“Glacies Imbrem!” Nicole pointed her rapier towards the helpless Wizards and Witches who were being hit from all sides.
Originally, the game Knight and Seek was hosted purely for fun and entertainment without the need to use powerful spells to hurt anyone.
However, the Nobles who joined this Hunt wanted to hurt them, with some even thinking about killing them.
Since that was the case, Nicole decided to not hold back and go for the kill.
Countless icicles flew towards her targets, dealing the final blow that turned them into particles of light.
The smarter Wizards and Witches, as well as the adults who joined the fight, formed groups and cast barriers in all directions, preventing them from getting damaged by Ethan’s and Nicole’s bombardment.
‘Behind you!’ Sebastian shouted.
A moment later, five Fire Balls approached Ethan from the back, but the young man only glanced in their direction before they detonated.
Suddenly, a barrier of flames surrounded Ethan, blocking the Fire Balls that were aimed in his direction.
A loud explosion sounded, which made the Wizards and Witches who had cast the spell rejoice, thinking that they managed to eliminate one of their targets.
However, half a minute later, the blazing flames dispersed.
The Five Wizards and Witches who had tried to sneak attack Ethan from behind all looked at the spear that hovered behind his back in disbelief.
Just as they thought that they succeeded in eliminating the teenager, it turned out that they made a mistake.
Ordinary Fire Magic was ineffective against Ethan!
While they were still reeling from the shock of failing to even harm a strand of hair on their target, a voice filled with killing intent reached their ears.
“Ibar!”
A moment later, the spear, Areadbhair, flew in the direction of one of the Wizards that had targeted its Master from behind.
The spear pierced through the Wizard’s chest, making him turn into particles of light.
“Anthibar!”
Ethan commanded and the spear that had pierced through his target, made a U-Turn to return to his hand.
However, before doing so, it made sure to pierce through the back of a Witch, making the latter scream before turning into particles of light.
Soon, loud explosions erupted in the surroundings as two people fought against dozens of Wizards and Witches in a game of Knight and Seek that would be remembered for years to come.
