Chapter 519 What Has Two Legs, No Brains, And Is About To Get A Good Slapping?
“So, everyone is headed toward the Sacred Altar to kill Aria?” the High Pixie, who was guarding the location where Ethan appeared, frowned while munching on a piece of candy.
“You’re going to do this in order to obtain the Epic Legacy hidden inside it? As if we will allow anyone to kill Aria!”
“That’s right!” a Water Fairy shouted. “We will not allow anyone to kill Aria!”
“They won’t be able to kill her if we kill them first!”
“Yes! Kill!”
“Death to all invaders!”
“Death to all, except Sugar Daddy and this crazy girl!”
“Um, maybe we should still eliminate this crazy girl. I don’t like the way she clings to our Sugar Daddy.”
“Is she perhaps after that thing they call a lollipop?”
“She wants Ethan’s lollipop? Well, I guess she can have it as long as she behaves.”
“Well, those who like sweets can’t be all bad people, right?”
“Even if she’s one of those crazies?”
“Even if she’s one of those crazies.”
Lyall, who was being badmouthed by the fairies face to face, smirked when they heard them talking about Ethan's lollipop.
Well, in a way, they weren’t wrong.
She didn’t like sweet things, but she didn’t mind taking a bite of Ethan’s lollipop.
While they were all discussing, a Water Fairy coming from the west shouted the moment she sensed the presence of the other Fairies.
“Bad news! The invaders managed to breach our first line of defense!” the Water Fairy shouted as tears fell from her eyes. “Our comrades were killed! There were so many of them! They have this scary guy who controls gravity!”
Her vision was blurry from tears, and because of that, she wasn't able to notice Ethan and Lyall right away.
Only after she wiped her tears did she see that there were two invaders chatting with her people, making her think that they had used some kind of charm spell on them.
“I won’t forgive you!” the Water Fairy shouted and summoned a spear of water, hurling it in Ethan’s direction.
“Wait, stop!” The High Pixie, who was talking to Ethan, immediately cast a spell to block the Water Fairy’s spell, negating its effects.
“Don’t worry. I will save all of you!” The Water Fairy, who was feeling vengeful for the deaths of her sisters, decided to charge at Ethan with a fearless look in her eyes.
Even if she were to die, she would take Ethan down with her no matter what!
The fairies, who were talking to Ethan a moment ago, hurriedly restrained the aggrieved Fairy, who was doing her best to free herself from their grip.
“Calm down, sister! These invaders are different!”
“They didn’t come here to fight!”
“They’re on our side… I think!”
“No!” The Water Fairy, who was being restrained by several Fairies, was still trying her best to break free. “They are savages! They’re brutes! They’re murderers!”
A moment later, the Fairy broke down in tears, crying loudly from heartbreak.
She was there when her sisters died.
If not for the fact that the High Pixie, their leader, ordered her to run to inform the other groups that the invaders were stronger than they expected, she would have died with them in battle.
“Where is this battle happening?” Ethan, who felt something tug at his heart after seeing the Fairy cry, asked with a determined look on his face.
The Fairy didn’t bother to reply and simply cried louder, no longer caring about what happened to her.
“I think she’s part of Nika’s team,” the High Pixie, who goes by the name Magpie, answered. “Someone, take him to where Nika is!”
“I’ll go!”
“No. I’ll go!”
“Me!”
“Okay. The three of you assist Ethan!” Magpie ordered. “I can’t leave this spot because we need to prevent invaders from reaching the Sacred Altar. We will not allow these brutes to get their hands on the Legacy of our Queen!”
“Follow us!” one of the fairies shouted. “Hurry!”
Ethan nodded and flew alongside the three Fairies, who were flying westward.
Lyall smirked before running after them, leaving a trail of mist that blasted Magpie, and her team away due to how powerful it was.
A few minutes later, Ethan arrived at their destination and saw countless spells flying in every direction.
The Fairies, who were being commanded by the High Pixie, whom Ethan believed to be Nika, unleashed several Water Spears at her foes.
Originally, her team numbered around a hundred.
But now, only less than thirty remained.
All the Wizards and Witches who entered the Epic Legacy Gate were Prodigies and Geniuses, which meant that they were competent spell casters.
A group of them was enough to handle the might of a hundred Fairies, who had suffered greatly from their vast array of magical spells.
Ethan, who immediately spotted Nicole’s cousin, Constantine, among the group of Wizards, couldn’t help but feel angry in his heart.
The teenage boy was using powerful Gravity Magic in order to lock the fairies in place, allowing the other Wizards and Witches to land the finishing blows.
Just as a Wind Blade was about to cut the High Pixie, Nika, in half, Ethan appeared before her and dispersed the Wind Blade with his trident.
“What are you doing?!” the Wizard who had unleashed the Wind Blade toward the High Pixie shouted.
“I should be the one asking you that question,” Ethan growled. “What do you think you’re doing? All of us were ordered to not harm the Fairies and try to resolve things through dialogue!”
“Hah? Dialogue?” Constantine sneered. “Why should we lower ourselves to converse with these pests? Our goal is to destroy the Legacy Tome. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed. Since you are siding with the Fairies, that means that you’re betraying us, right? Is that how it is, Mr. Honorary Knight?”
Constantine disliked Ethan very much, especially after what happened at the Royal Party.
Back then, he was raring to teach him a lesson, but because the adults were around, he could only hold himself back.
Now that there were no elders watching over them, he believed that this was the perfect opportunity to eliminate the boy, who was backing up Nicole in the Heir Wars.
“I’ll give you one last chance,” Constantine stated. “Kill these Fairies and prove that you are on the side of humanity. If you don’t, that means that you are a traitor who plans to take the Epic Legacy and use it as his own. Now choose!”
Since there were twenty Wizards and Witches on his side, he couldn’t possibly attack Ethan without rhyme or reason.
By asking him to kill the Fairies, he was showing that he was a magnanimous person who was more than happy to give Ethan a second chance.
But deep inside, Constantine hoped that Ethan would defy him.
If that happened, then he would have the evidence and excuse that Ethan betrayed them. This would give Constantine enough justification to go for the kill, eliminating the variable that stood in his way of winning the Heir Wars.
“I’ll give you one last chance!” Constantine shouted, pointing his wand at Ethan. “Within five seconds, you are to start killing these fairies. If not, we will consider you our enemy. Now choose!”
Lyall, who was standing a meter away from Ethan, arched an eyebrow, waiting for Ethan’s decision.
The young man then waved his hand, creating countless Water Snakes that took Nika and the surviving Water Fairies away from the battlefield.
“Choose?” Ethan asked in disdain. “This is my choice!”
As soon as Ethan declared those words, the wetlands trembled as the waters in the surroundings rose to answer his will.
Countless water snakes surrounded Ethan like Guardian Beasts, ready to lunge at the enemies of their Lord.
“Good!” Constantine laughed. “Now die!”
All the Wizards and Witches unleashed their spells at the same time, including Constantine, who intended to bind Ethan so that all the spells of his teammates would hit their targets.
Ethan frowned when he felt that his body was starting to become as heavy as lead, unable to move from where he stood.
The Trident in his hand also became so heavy that its tip embedded itself in the marsh, right beside where he stood.
Constantine thought that as long as Ethan couldn’t move his body, he wouldn’t be able to cast any spells, making the smirk on his face widen.
However, this didn’t pose a problem to Ethan.
As long as he was surrounded by water, there were a lot of things he could do.
Ethan sneered just as the spells were about to hit him.
A moment later, his body suddenly shot up toward the sky, propelled by the eruption of a geyser that appeared under his feet.
The young man, who suddenly broke out of Constantine’s hold, raised his trident toward the sky.
“What has two legs, no brains, and is about to get a good slapping?” Ethan asked in disdain.
Constantine and the others, whose spells didn’t hit their target, didn’t bother to answer Ethan’s question and aimed their wands at him for the second time.
“The answer is you, bastards!” Ethan roared.
Suddenly, the ground under Constantine’s feet burst upward, sending him and the other Wizards and Witches, who attacked the Fairies, into the air.
Ethan pulled back his trident and held it with his two hands as if he were holding a baseball club.
Behind him, countless giant Water Hands materialized, awaiting his command.
“Fore!”
Ethan swung his trident, and the giant Water Hands moved to slap Constantine and his teammates to kingdom come.
Lyall, who saw this, clapped giddily because seeing an angry Ethan tickled the sadistic tendencies in her heart.
