Chapter 338 A Battle Worth Fighting For [Part 2]

The four men of the Oswald Family encircled Ethan while riding on their broomsticks.

All of their wands were pointed at him, showing no signs of mercy.

“Boy, personally, I don’t hate you,” Bruce stated. “You helped us a lot by giving us funds this winter, and I appreciate that. But, my daughter is off limits. I’m going to give you a choice. Stay friends with Luna, and we can all get along just fine, or suffer the consequences of trying to ask for her hand in marriage.”

“Thats’ right!” Dennis shouted. “You already have Chloe and Emma, why do you have to drag my sister into this mess?! Even Father only has two wives!”

“Pick your words wisely,” Philip said. “You’re still young, Ethan. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. It doesn’t have to be my granddaughter.”

Erik didn’t say anything, instead he locked his eyes on Ethan’s body, ready to cast a spell the moment he did something funny.

Unknown to them, the ladies back at the Residence were watching this scene using a Crystal Ball.

Irene, Briana, and Rhea watched with calm expressions on their faces, as the young man faced off against their family members.

They liked Ethan, and even thought that he was a good match for Luna. However, they still wanted to see the outcome of this face off.

Even though the three of them acknowledged him, they were certain that the men of their family wouldn’t. This was why they didn’t do anything to stop the confrontation.

They want to see how Ethan would be able to convince them to allow Luna to become his lover.

Bruce, Philip, Dennis, and Erik, were all ready to unleash a barrage of spells at the young man, but he didn’t seem to be bothered by it.

He even smiled at his future in-laws, making them glare in his direction.

“I was an orphan, and my Grandma raised me with love and care,” Ethan said softly. “Back then, I was fine doing the farm chores everyday, and lazing around in the fields. That was my world, and I was quite satisfied with it.

“However, my Grandma used force to send me to an ordinary human academy. Originally, I should have enrolled in Saint Claire’s Academy, away from the Wizarding World, forever ignorant of it.

“But, Fate thought differently. Before I knew it, I arrived at Brynhildr Academy, and saw things I never thought I would see in my lifetime. I am a Dud. But, that isn’t entirely true. My circumstances are complicated and, if not for Luna, I would have remained a powerless individual.”

Ethan paused as he looked at Bruce with a solemn look on his face.

“Luna was the one who gave me the opportunity to use Magic, and since then, I’ve been forever grateful to her. But, I became greedy. She is a very kind, warm, caring, and loving person. It was simply impossible not to fall in love with her.

“In fact, I had planned to confess to her that I wished for her to become my girlfriend. But, before I could do that, an incident happened. During one of our missions, our team was targeted by a Bandit Group, with Rogue Wizards among their ranks. Because of this, I and a friend of mine were forced to make a choice.

“Either let the enemy capture us, or jump into a Nexus that would send us to the past. It was a difficult choice, but in the end, we chose to take a gamble. When we arrived in the Lands of Alastor, that was the time when I was forced to kill a human for the first time.

“It was not just one or two people that I killed. Yes, I killed dozens of people. Not by choice, but out of necessity, and I suffered greatly for it.”

Ethan didn’t plan on telling this tale to anyone, but for some reason, he felt compelled to share this with the people of the Oswald Family.

“I entered a depression, and almost broke down beyond repair. But, the girl who was sent to the past with me, Lily, was there and helped me recover, to the best of her abilities. I felt guilty and ashamed of myself because I took advantage of her kindness.

“When I recovered, the Necromancer who was hunting us down, launched a siege against the city that we were currently in. While everyone was busy, he targeted Lily because he knew that she was the only one keeping me sane.

“I almost died during this attack because I received the killing blow that was meant for her. However, through a stroke of luck, both of us survived. That was when we took the next step in our relationship.

“I also felt guilty at this point in time because I had set aside my feelings for Luna and Chloe, so that I could embrace her. I don’t regret my decision, and if I were to go back in time, I wouldn’t have changed anything.

“The Lands of Alastor was a cruel and merciless land. It taught me that if I wanted something with all of my heart, I should fight for it. Nothing is free. Everything has a price. Freedom is only possible if you have the strength to defend the peace.

When Lily’s Brother, Conall, came to Brynhildr Academy to challenge me, I didn’t back down because I thought that I could beat him. Unfortunately, my ego had grown quite large, after my consecutive victories.

“He made me understand how truly lacking I was. I was in a coma for a week after that battle, but I didn't regret it. Lily was worth fighting for! Chloe is worth fighting for! Luna is worth fighting for! My lovers are worth fighting for!”

Ethan gripped his wand, and the Sea God’s Trident firmly as magic power circulated inside his body.

“So, I don’t care if you all hate me, or think that I am not worthy of Luna,” Ethan stated. “Since we can’t see eye to eye then let’s just fight because I stand here for one reason, and one reason only.”

The young man pointed the tip of his Sea God’s Trident at Bruce, holding his gaze.

“I fight because this battle is worth fighting for,” Ethan said. “Prepare yourselves. I will not hold back. I just hope that all of you know how to swim.”

At that exact moment, the water of the lake started to churn, as if it was boiling over.

Ethan was now tapping to the power of his Legacy and, with it, he would force the elements to bow to his will.
