BXBX NOVEL Chapter 515: I See Many Soon-To-Be-Dead People
It would take them four days to reach their destination.
Westshire was the land of the Elves and Fae, and the only ones who could use their Teleportation Gates were their people.
This move was done to prevent anyone from using their own means of transportation to invade their groves. Also, every Teleportation Gate they had was at least a mile away from the nearest city.
Although impractical, this was how Elves lived their lives, being one with nature as much as possible.
Also, unless one was traveling through the air, they would have to enter ancient forests that could easily confuse those who enter them, making them unable to tell which way was the right way.
Some forests had magical properties, which messed up guiding tools and artifacts like compasses.
Along the way, they saw other flying ships coming from the other academies of Easthire.
Some of these Flying Ships belonged to the academies that had a bad relationship with Brynhildr Academy.
But, since their students were riding on the Grand Archmage\'s personal ship, none dared to come and harass them.
A few days later, dozens of Flying Ships arrived in Westshire, and landed in the areas that were designated to each of them by the Elven Council.
"Remember, no matter what happens, stick together," Professor Barret, who had decided to tag along said firmly. "Destroy the Legacy Tome, and don\'t let it fall in the hands of others. Anyone who defies that rule will become everyone\'s enemy. Use force if you have to."
The four teenagers all nodded their heads at the same time.
Ethan had come prepared, and was carrying twelve Magical Batteries, which were all powered up by Luna\'s Moon Magic.
He even had two of her condensed magic power orbs stored inside his heart, which he could use for emergencies.
"Let\'s go," Lord Edmond commanded. "Don\'t worry about your rival academies. They will not cause trouble while I\'m around."
The Arch Mage had a smug look on his face, which made Professor Barret smile faintly.
As long as the second most important personage of Eastshire was with them, none would dare to touch them at this point in time.
However, things would change when they entered the Epic Legacy Domain.
It was highly possible that a battle would occur as soon as they arrived, so Professor Barret chose the students who would not shy away from killing anyone, who dared to attempt to murder them.
Just the mere sight of Henry and Rowan, who were both known to be cold blooded Mage Killers, was enough to deter some of the students from the different academies that had a deep and profound hatred towards Brynhildr Academy.
They walked deep inside the forest for half an hour before arriving at a wide clearing.
In the center of it was a golden orb that was the size of a basketball ball.
This was the entrance that would lead to the Epic Legacy Domain, but according to the Elves, they had concluded that it would open at sunset.
Since the gate\'s opening was still a few hours away, Professor Barret stood guard to protect his students, while Lord Edmond made his rounds.
Ethan was pleasantly surprised because he saw several familiar faces in the crowd of people
Cedric, who was Lilian\'s brother, glanced in his direction and gave him a brief nod.
Ethan returned the gesture then glanced at the others who were familiar with him.
The twin brothers from the Meredith Clan, Ace and Archer were there and even winked at Ethan, making him smile.
He also saw the pretty dwarf Bridged Oddfrid, standing beside the beautiful High Elf, Sefarina Esel Argus.
These two ladies were also members of the Protector Clans, who had come to support their Master on this expedition.
Since all four of them were undercover agents, they didn\'t approach Ethan and only looked at him from a distance.
But, their presence alone was comforting enough.
Lilith was hiding in Ethan\'s shadow, serving as his Fifth Protector.
Emma wanted to go, but she didn\'t have a good excuse to tell the Headmaster of the Academy to allow her to join the expedition.
Because of this, she had a long talk with Lilith, making sure that the Catkin would do her role properly.
"We meet again," Vladimir Asta said as he stared at Ethan from a few meters away. "If I were you, I\'d be careful inside the Legacy Domain. Accidents can happen, you know?"
\'Wow, this guy sure knows how to spout words from a third-rate villain,\' Sebastian commented.
\'Don\'t worry,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'If there is an opportunity, we can create an "accident" to ensure that he will not leave the Legacy Domain alive. The less competition Nicole has, the closer she will be to becoming the winner of the Heir Wars.\'
\'Nice! Let\'s feed them to Dainsleif! Our Ancient Wendigo needs to grow, you know?\'
\'Good idea! Let\'s do that!\'
Ethan was almost tempted to agree with the two villains inside his head, who were raring to have Vladimir and Constantine become the Ancient Wendigo\'s snacks.
Nicole looked at her cousin with a calm expression on her face. However, deep inside, she was also thinking of ways on how to make Vladimir "accidentally" disappear inside the Legacy Domain.
Constantine, who was watching them from a distance, was thinking of the same thing. If he could eliminate his two competitors then the seat of the Patriarch would be as good as his.
But, before Ethan and Nicole could reply, Rowan smirked and did a bit of stretching.
"Look, Henry, I see many soon-to-be-dead people," Rowan said, not bothering to lower his voice. "I do hope they entertain us a bit."
"Indeed," Henry commented. "I haven\'t killed people lately. Looks like today is a good day to do that."
Vladimir frowned after hearing Henry\'s subtle threat. As someone who was assisting the Magistratus, he knew that the current head of their organization was also eyeing Henry as a candidate after he graduated.
The Mage Slayer was the bane of all Wizards and Witches, and anyone whom he had set his sights on would have a hard time keeping their lives, if Henry really wished to go for the kill.
Knowing that he couldn\'t antagonize Henry, Vladimir snorted and walked towards his team.
"Don\'t worry, as long as I\'m here, I won\'t let our group get bullied," Henry declared.
"Thanks, Head Prefect." Ethan gave Henry a thumbs up, which the latter returned with a smile.
But, just as Ethan was about to say something to Nicole, he suddenly felt a fluctuation within the golden orb at the center of the clearing, which caught his attention.
\'There are many bad people outside! Make sure to hide. Don\'t let them see you!\'
\'Hide while you still can! We will fend these invaders off!\'
\'If they catch you, they will kill you, so no matter what happens, don\'t show yourself!\'
\'Just close your eyes, Aria. Don\'t worry, we will protect you!\'
\'Everyone, please, don\'t die, okay?!\'
\'\'\'We won\'t!\'\'\'
Sebastian, and Ethan\'s Other Half, who were sharing his senses, also heard the voices, making the two of them exchange glances with each other.
\'Ethan, make sure to investigate the Domain first before you do anything,\' Sebastian commented. \'I feel that this Legacy Domain isn\'t that simple.\'
\'Understood,\' Ethan replied.
Although there was clear hostility in the voices that he heard, he also heard fear and anxiety.
Particularly coming from the one, who was called Aria, whose presence was very faint, like a small candle in the wind.
