Chapter 619 It Will Be Over Before You Know It

??Ethan and Chloe walked back to the residence while holding each other’s hands.

The young lady’s face was still tinged with red because, after their heart-to-heart talk, they shared sweet and intimate kisses with each other.

It had been a while since the two of them last kissed each other, so they let themselves go and only stopped after they were satisfied.

Probably a little too much.

Fortunately, they still knew about doing things in moderation. Both of them held back and did their best to not get carried away.

With his heart feeling lighter after their misunderstanding had been solved, Ethan was in high spirits.

But soon, he saw his father chopping some firewood at the side of their house, a cue for them to part. He reluctantly bid goodbye to Chloe, wanting to talk to his father about the battle they had last night.

“Are you sure you want to leave it at that?” Wallace asked in a teasing tone. “I heard from Mother that you and Chloe were having some relationship problems in the past.”

“We did,” Ethan answered as he picked up the chopped logs from the ground and piled them up together. “But, after a heart-to-heart talk with each other, I finally know the problem. Although we can’t always be together, at least the distance between us is no longer there.”

Wallace smirked before raising a finger. “Chloe Gremory, Lily Langley, Luna Oswald, Lilian Raylight, Emma Harper, and your Catkin, who goes by the name Lilith. I got to say I didn't expect that my son would be this good when it came to wooing ladies.”

With every name he mentioned, Wallace raised a finger, making Ethan scratch his head.

He never planned to have so many lovers, but one thing led to another, and before he knew it, he was surrounded by beautiful ladies who loved him very much.

“Maybe I should learn a thing or two from you. After all these years, I’m still single,” Wallace chuckled. “By the way, is Nicole Asta one of your lovers too?”

“No,” Ethan replied. “She’s my best friend.”

Wallace nodded. “Having a best friend is good. So, what do you want to talk about? I’m sure you didn’t leave Chloe just so you could help me chop some firewood, right?”

“I want to know how you did what you did to me,” Ethan answered. “That’s the first time I felt so helpless. Even sparring against Professor Barret didn’t make me feel that way.”

Wallace chuckled before returning the axe in his hand to its rightful place in the shed.

“The only reason why you haven’t felt that way when sparring with Professor Barret is because he isn’t fighting you seriously,” Wallace stated. “If only you’d seen him while he was still on active duty, you’d probably piss your pants. He wasn’t hailed as the strongest Magistratus for nothing, you know?

“But, let us discuss what happened last night in more detail. What you experienced is an ability that allows you to overwhelm the Domain of your opponent. In high-level battles, usually, it is Domain versus Domain.

“The one with the stronger Domain will always win, at least most of the time. So, if there comes a time when your strongest Domain, which is your Celestial Domain, fails to materialize due to your opponent having a stronger Domain, what would you do?”

“… I don’t know,” Ethan replied.

This was his honest answer.

He never thought that someone would be able to overpower his Domain because he felt invincible whenever he was inside of it.

Only after facing his adoptive father did he realize that fighting inside a Domain you have summoned didn’t guarantee victory.

His father made him painfully aware that there were Wizards out there who specialized in breaking the Domains of others, which resulted in a backlash to the Domain’s owner.

“When your opponent’s Domain is stronger than yours, ninety-

nine percent of the time, you will end up dead,” Wallace explained. “This is why experts on our level don't focus on creating a Domain.

“We specialize in breaking them. When you trained with Professor Barret, did he ever use his Domain against you?”

Ethan shook his head. “I’ve seen him use his Resonance and Origin Magic, but he never used his Domain against me.”

Wallace nodded. “That’s because he will only use it when he has to fight seriously. Also, that old man is strong enough. He doesn't need to summon a Domain to beat someone like you.”

“Then, can you teach me how to break Domains?” Ethan inquired.

“Of course.” Wallace smirked. “Because you will need it.”

Wallace understood that Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret only wanted what was best for Ethan.

But, their training methods didn’t push the young man to the limits because they were afraid that it would break him.

Contrary to them, Wallace’s approach was to target Ethan’s weaknesses and train him on how to overcome those weaknesses.

“I will train you, but not now.” Wallace glanced at the sun in the sky before picking up the pile of firewood that Ethan had arranged properly. “Spend your time with Mother, Father, and your lovers until it is time to depart to Midgard.

“I will teach you everything you need to know on our way. It will be a long journey toward our destination—Enzo told me that the travel time alone will take at least two to three weeks using a flying ship, depending on the weather.

“That will be more than enough time for me to teach you the basics. Actually, when we fought, I noticed that you have a very strong mental barrier that prevented me from directly attacking your consciousness.

“If it weren't for that, I would have knocked you unconscious in less than half a minute. But it’s a good thing. At least, I won’t have to worry about someone poking into your head and stealing your memories.”

Ethan shuddered at the thought of having his memories stolen from him. If that were to happen to him, he wouldn’t know what to do.

Fortunately, Mimir’s Wisdom prevented any invasive mental attacks from having an effect on Ethan’s body and consciousness.

“Enjoy your vacation, Ethan,” Wallace repeated as he walked toward the house while carrying the firewood. “It will be over before you know it.”
