Chapter 970: The Prince Of The Tides [Part 5]
The young man gave the dying Fomorians at the sea a sidelong glance before shifting his attention to the three Fomorian Chieftains, who were all hovering in the sky with hate-filled expressions on their faces.
"Rise!" Ethan commanded.
He didn't plan on using this method earlier since he didn't know if it could change anything. However, he still needed to do something to whittle away at the Flying Ships, which contained the other half of the Fomorian Army.
Behind him, a pillar of water rose.
King Arawn's eyes widened in shock at the sight of a city he hadn't seen in the past hundreds of years.
"Atlantis!" King Arawn gasped. "It really is Atlantis!"
The Ancient City had risen from the sea and, at Ethan's command, all the Magic Cannons that served as the city's defenses activated, aiming at the Flying Ships in the sky.
"Fire!" Ethan ordered.
A series of loud explosions reverberated in the surroundings as dozens of Magic Cannons fired one after the other.
"Move!" the Black-Haired Man ordered, and the Flying Ships started to move, hoping that they would be able to evade the bombardment that was coming from the Ancient City, which had once again shown itself to the world.
The Magical Cannonballs hit the Flying Ships, but some of them were able to endure the bombardment.
These ships had survived the Ancient Wars between the Tuatha De Danann and the Fomorians, so the majority of them would not be destroyed that easily.
The Flagship of the Black-Haired Man took the brunt of the bombardment, shielding the other ships from destruction.
Despite the damage it received, it still held firm, proving that it was indeed the Flagship of the Fomorian Army.
"Go higher!" the Black-Haired Man ordered. "As high as you can!"
Obeying his command, the Flying Ships rose higher in the sky while moving toward their original destination, which was the Shire Continent.
Ethan clicked his tongue because the Ships had flown so high that the barrage of the Magical Cannons was unable to reach them.
He had already done everything he could, but he still felt disappointed that he was only able to wipe out half of the Fomorian Army.
The three Fomorian Chieftains angrily glared at the young man before they all flew higher into the sky, landing on the deck of the Flagship that was making its way towards the Shire Continent.
"Did you see that, Professor?" Ethan asked as he glanced at the floating Crystal Ball beside him.
"Yes," Professor Rinehart replied. "I have recorded the battle, and I will soon send it to the Kings and Queens of the Shire Continent. You have already done your part. It is now up to us to handle the rest. I'll end our conversation for now because this news must be sent in haste.
"But on behalf of everyone, I would like to thank you for everything that you have done for us. I will keep you updated on the progress of our war preparations here in the Shire Continent."
After the connection was cut, Ethan sighed softly.
Illumina hugged him from behind, telling him that he did everything he could.
All that was left was to clean up the surviving Fomorians, putting an end to the war at the sea.
While the two lovers were basking on this brief moment of peace, a voice filled with awe reached their ears.
"That was a marvelous display of power," King Arawn said with a smile. "Well met, Ethan Gremory. I am King Arawn, the King of the Kingdom of Annwn. It's a pleasure to finally be able to talk to you."
Ethan glanced at the handsome man, who was brimming with power.
King Arawn wasn't a Progenitor. However, he was still very strong, and the young man could vaguely sense that he was in the presence of a Colossi.
'So that's why he isn't afraid to come in contact with me,' Ethan thought as he gazed at the King of Annwn.
"Well met," Ethan gave the King a brief nod before shifting his gaze on the Vampire Lord, who was looking at him with a stiff smile on his face.
"It's been a while, Ethan," Godfrey greeted. "I see that you're... still surrounded by beautiful women even this far out in the sea. I am very envious of this ability of yours."
The Vampire Lord eyed Illumina, as well as Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel, who were looking at them from a distance.
Ethan didn't affirm or deny the Vampire Lord's praise because he didn't want him anywhere near the Mermaid Princesses.
Godfrey was still a Demigod at the end of the day, and his father was the Progenitor of Vampires.
The two of them were currently under a non-aggression pact, so they were no longer hostile against each other.
"Are you so bored that you decided to tag along with the Fomorian Army in their conquest of the Shire Continent?" Ethan asked with sarcasm.
"Yes." Godfrey nodded. "Those who have long lives tend to feel bored from time to time. Since this looked like an interesting event, I decided to join in the fun."
"As a spectator?" Ethan inquired.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"As a spectator." Godfrey affirmed. "Also, King Arawn came for the same reason. We're all just here to watch the show. I hope you don't mind."
Ethan wanted to say that he did mind. However, offending a Colossi was something he couldn't afford at the moment.
Also, Sebastian and his Other Half were telling him to not make King Arawn his enemy, reminding him that the King of Annwn was a very powerful individual.
"Well, were the two of you entertained?" Ethan asked.
"Very entertained," Godfrey replied. "But it seems that the show is not yet over. I'm sure we'll find more entertaining things once we arrive at the Shire Continent."
King Arawn didn't say anything and simply smiled.
He was very curious about Ethan and wanted to know more about him.
However, he also understood that this was not the time for that.
"I'll see you in the Shire Continent, Ethan," King Arawn said. "I have seen what you can do
while at the Sea. I hope that you will perform just as well on land."
"Goodbye for now," Godfrey commented. "I'll see you in a week or two."
The Flying Carriage that was carrying the Vampire Lord and the King of Annwn rose towards
the sky, leaving Ethan and Illumina behind.
"The two of them are troublesome characters," Illumina said when she was certain that King Arawn and Godfrey were out of earshot.
"Indeed," Ethan replied. "But we still have things to do."
Illumina nodded. "It's time to wrap things up. I'll handle the rest. You don't have to do the grunt work."
The Mermaid Princess then kissed Ethan's cheek before diving into the sea.
She would need to tally the casualties on their side, as well as the merit allocation for those who performed well in battle.
She knew that Ethan had a lot of things on his mind, so she didn't want him to handle these things for the time being.
"Your Highness, what do you plan to do after this?" Princess Ariel asked as she approached
the young man.
"I plan to head to the Shire Continent," Ethan replied. "I have to trouble the two of you to accompany me and Illumina on this journey."
The young man had seen Princess Wilhelmina's fighting prowess as well as Princess Ariel's exceptional supporting abilities.
With the two of them by his side, he was certain that they would be able to help the people of the Shire Continent resist the Fomorian invasion. This was why he decided to ask for their
help.
"As you command," Princess Ariel replied with a smile.
"By your will," Princess Wilhelmina nodded.
After seeing the power of the Prince of Atlantis, they were more than willing to obey his
command and prove themselves capable of helping him in the next battle against the Fomorian Army.
