Even his Other Half was quite impressed because Ethan could now throw two cards with great accuracy as long as the target was no more than fifteen meters away from him.

Nicole had also been training very hard in order to control her powers and would often visit Ethan whenever she was feeling cold.

The young man didn\'t hesitate to help her because, for him, Nicole was one of his closest friends as well as his sparring partner.

Soon, the day when they had to accompany Lord Edmond to Westshire finally arrived.

They still had no inkling as to what their mission would be because the Grand Archmage was being secretive about it.

"He\'s here," Professor Rinehart said, making the two Honorary Knights look at the cloudy sky above them.

The flying ship that the Grand Archmage often used broke out from the clouds and descended on the academy grounds, where Ethan, Nicole, Professor Rinehart, and Professor Barret were waiting for him.

Lord Edmond had arrived two days early because he planned to rest and resupply at the academy before they headed to Westshire.

He also had some very important things to talk about with Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret.

"Did you have a smooth journey, Edmond?" Professor Rinehart asked with a smile.

"I\'ve seen better days," Lord Edmond replied, returning his friend\'s smile. "It looks like it is going to rain tonight. I\'ll be happy to spend the night in a comfortable and warm room instead of flying during bad weather."

Professor Barret chuckled after hearing the Grand Archmage\'s words. With the power that Edmond wielded, it was a mere childsplay to prevent the wind and rain from affecting his Flying Ship.

However, he didn\'t point that out because he also wanted to spend some time with his friend, who was often cooped up in the Royal Palace.

"Is it just me or is there something different about you, Ethan." Lord Edmond narrowed his eyes. "You feel… stronger than before."

"It might just be your imagination, Lord Edmond," Ethan commented.

"Oh?" the Grand Archmage eyed Ethan from head to foot before chuckling. "Well, if that\'s how you want to play it, then let\'s have it your way."

Lord Edmond then shifted his attention to Nicole, who had sent him a letter about going to Northshire after their mission in Westshire ended.

The young lady didn\'t mention the real reason why she planned to go to Northshire, and the Grand Archmage planned to get to the bottom of it before he gave her a permit to enter the territory of the Dwarves.

"Let\'s talk about your trip to Northshire later, Nicole," Lord Edmond stated. "Your request is a bit tricky, so I need you to tell me everything. Understood?"

Nicole sighed in her heart, but in the end, she still nodded her head in understanding.

Since Lord Edmond might offer them assistance, she agreed to tell him why they were going to Nortshire on the condition that the Grand Archmage kept it a secret.

The young lady had already informed Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret about her trip to Northshire and the reason behind it.

The two Professors were more than happy to help Nicole because she was chosen as one of the Champions of Eques Manor.

Because of this, they had lent her a few protective artifacts just in case the Ice Dragons decided to harm them.

After Lord Edmond disembarked, Professor Rinehart guided him to his personal Villa in the academy, where he usually stayed during his visit.

Since what they were going to talk about was confidential, he decided to have lunch with Ethan and Nicole in the Villa, away from the hustle and bustle of the academy.

The food had already been set on the table when they arrived, and it was still freshly cooked.

"Let\'s talk after we eat," Professor Rinehart stated. "I\'m starving because I skipped breakfast this morning."

This earned him a chuckle from the Grand Archmage, who also didn\'t eat breakfast on that day because he knew that he would be eating something delicious when he arrived at the academy.

After the meal ended, Lord Edmond finally told Ethan and Nicole the reason they were going to Westshire.

"A Legacy Gate has appeared," Lord Edmond stated. "But, it is no ordinary Legacy Gate. It is an Epic Legacy Gate."

Ethan didn\'t know what an Epic Legacy Gate was, but the look of surprise on Professor Rinehart\'s, Professor Barret\'s, and Nicole\'s faces was enough to tell him that it was a big deal.

Seeing that Ethan seemed to not understand the importance of this news, Lord Edmond decided to explain what an Epic Legacy Gate meant.

"An Epic Legacy Gate is a tomb," Lord Edmond explained. "The final resting place of a being powerful enough to match the Demon Lord Balthazar. Although they weren\'t born during the Primordial Era, they were the second oldest generation in the world.

"During the chaotic time when powerful monsters walked these lands, they were the Overlords that stood above the rest. They existed before Humans even knew how to wield magic, and some of them were known to be bringers of calamity."

Lord Edmond paused in order to give Ethan some time to digest what he had said.

A few minutes later, he continued his explanation, elaborating the mission that they would be doing in Westshire.

"Your mission is to enter this Epic Legacy Gate and destroy its Gatekeeper. The Elves don\'t want this power to resurface in the world, so they asked for our help to ensure that the Epic Legacy Gate will not open again."

"Wait, Your Excellency. There is something I don\'t understand," Ethan commented. "Why must we destroy it? Wouldn\'t it be better if someone obtained the Legacy instead?"

The Grand Archmage shook his head.

"Absolute power corrupts," Lord Edmond stated. "And absolute power corrupts absolutely. There have been no instances where someone was able to control the power of an Epic Legacy.

"Those who tried were consumed by its power from within, becoming the puppets of the power they sought to get. These people turned into walking calamities, and the other races had to join hands in order to bring them down.

"All suffered countless casualties before the wielder of the Legacy was killed. This led to a joint agreement between the different races that, if ever an Epic Legacy Gate appeared, all the races would work together in order to destroy it.

"Everyone will keep each other in check to ensure that no one dares to take the Legacy as their own. If they were to do that, those who entered the Legacy Gate would also work together to destroy that person before they were consumed by the Legacy from within."

Professor Rinehart nodded before adding a few words to the discussion.

"Ethan, you have to understand that not all Legacies are the same," Professor Rinehart stated. "Some are more powerful than the others, and an Epic Legacy is something that can give birth to another Demon Lord, which could potentially destroy the peace and balance of the world."

Sebastian and Ethan\'s Other Half smirked from inside Ethan\'s Sea of Consciousness.

When the Grand Archmage mentioned that there had been no instances where someone was able to control the power of an Epic Legacy, the two of them almost laughed out loud.

Lord Edmond didn\'t know that the Tide Bringer\'s Legacy was actually an Epic Legacy. Aside from that, there were two other Epic Legacies that were waiting to be unlocked by Ethan.

Neither of them was worried that the young man wouldn\'t be able to control them because it was a power that he had already had since birth.

They were all compatible with him, so Ethan wouldn\'t be consumed or corrupted by their powers.

Of course, since the two didn\'t want any unwanted attention turned toward Ethan, both of them kept mum about it.

He was blessed with three kinds of powers, which was why he was called Thrice Blessed.

If one Epic Legacy was enough to make someone become as powerful as a Demon Lord, then what kind of being would be born if Ethan was able to unlock the power of the three Epic Legacies inside his body?

Even Sebastian and Ethan\'s Other Half didn\'t know the answer to this question.

The only thing they did know was that, no matter what happened, they would not allow Ethan to fall into corruption and make the entire world his enemy, just like what had happened to his Grandfather in the past.
