BXBX NOVEL Chapter 530: Make Yourself Useful
Ethan couldn\'t help but feel drowsy as he listened to the Fairy Queen\'s song. He believed that it was simply the side effect of the healing song that Celestia was currently singing.
His mind was protected from mind-controlling powers and anything similar to it. If he was still feeling drowsy, it only meant that he wasn\'t under any kind of mind-affecting spell.
Soon, Ethan succumbed to sleep while being embraced by the Fairy Queen, whose singing voice could melt the heart of those who heard it.
A few minutes later, Celestia stopped singing and looked at the handsome young man in her arms.
After calming down a bit, she eventually figured that Ethan only held a great resemblance to him, but he wasn\'t the person whom she knew, making her heart ache.
"Llyr\'s bloodline flows inside you," Celestia muttered. "Is this perhaps fate?"
She had every intention of torturing Ethan for what he had done. But the moment she saw his true form, she couldn\'t bear to even harm a strand of his hair.
As she gazed at his sleeping face, she suddenly felt a ripple of power expanding in front of her, making her frown.
"What? So that\'s it? You don\'t plan to torture him anymore?"
Celestia raised her head to look at the handsome young man, who was looking at her with an amused expression on his face.
"I don\'t remember inviting you to come here, Oberon," Celestia said coldly.
"We haven\'t seen each other for hundreds of years, and this is the first thing you say to me?" Oberon asked. "How cold of you, Celestia."
"What do you want?" The Water Fairy Queen looked at the obnoxious King of the Fairies, who had entered her Domain unannounced. "Aren\'t you afraid that Titania will pull your ear later?"
"Oh, she\'s busy in the Lands of Saraqael," Oberon replied. "You know, even us Fairies need to have our own piece of land in that plane of existence."
Celestia sneered. "How noble of you to shift the responsibility to others. Are you too lazy to do any work?"
"Mmm. I\'m so bored lately that I even had time to watch the little skirmish between you and Ethan," Oberon shrugged. "I just didn\'t expect it to end this way. I knew he was a bit special because he was able to use Fairy Magic, but I didn\'t expect him to be this special. I see… So that\'s it. Why didn\'t I think of this before?
No wonder he can use Fairy Magic."
The Water Fairy Queen didn\'t like the way the Fairy King was referring to Ethan. It was as if he had known her before she did, which annoyed her.
"Now, don\'t look at me like that." Oberon raised both of his hands in an attempt to lower the tension between him and the Water Fairy Queen. "This kid caught my eye because a group of fairies referred to him as Oberon. How can I possibly take that lying down? Even though I\'m lazy most of the time, I can\'t let that slide, you know?"
"Oh? Other Fairies referred to this boy as the Fairy King?" Celestia suddenly found her mood improving. "I guess he is more suited to be a Fairy King than you are. How about you retire and hand him your powers as well?"
Oberon crossed his arms in front of him before shaking his head. "No, thanks. Not happening."
Celestia shook her head before shifting her gaze back to the young man in his arms.
"Aren\'t you going to ask me anything?" Oberon inquired after several minutes of silence. "I can answer the questions you have in mind, you know?"
"Where is Arariel?" Celestia asked without even raising her head to look at the King of Fairies.
"Somewhere in the Lands of Saraqael," Oberon replied with a smile. "Next question!"
"Where is Llyr?"
"Somewhere where you cannot reach him."
Celestia\'s hand, who was caressing the side of Ethan\'s face, stiffened after hearing Oberon\'s reply.
"… Is he dead?" Celestia inquired.
"Rumor has it that he entered a Nexus that appeared under the Sea," Oberon replied. "I haven\'t heard from him since then."
"By the way, he became very famous in Midgard, and there is even a cult worshipping him in the Lands of Alastor. However, people there didn\'t call him Llyr. They know him by a different name."
"And that name is?" Celestia asked.
"Tide Bringer," Oberon answered. "And… this boy had acquired his Legacy. Well, he didn\'t really gain it. It was already a part of him. The Legacy merely awakened the powers that had been dormant ever since his Magic Circuits was destroyed."
"So, this boy is his descendant then. Are there others?"
"I don\'t know. I\'ve only met Ethan, and no one else."
Oberon then crossed his arms over his chest before eyeing the Sacred Altar that housed Celestia\'s body.
"So what are your plans now?" Oberon asked. "I can help you break free from this place. The people of the Shire Continent are wary of you, so I recommend staying in the Lands of Saraqael with Titania if you want to. You might even catch some news about Arariel there."
Celestia didn\'t reply as if she was weighing the pros and cons of leaving the Legacy Domain.
Originally, she wanted to break free and wreak havoc after awakening from her slumber.
But after seeing Ethan, she remembered the promise that she had given Arariel hundreds of years ago when he came to stop her from drowning all life on the Shire Continent.
"Tell me something, Oberon. Have the Fomorians started to move?" Celestia asked.
"Yes," Oberon replied in a heartbeat. "And if my guess is correct, they will head to the Shire Continent."
"I see…" Celestia muttered.
A moment later, she snapped her fingers, and the Epic Legacy Tome inside Morgan\'s Ring revealed itself.
"Since you\'re already here, you should make yourself useful," Celestia said before placing the Tome on Ethan\'s chest, causing Oberon to chuckle.
"Oh, the irony," Oberon smirked. "A few minutes ago, you were hell bent on killing him. Now, you\'re hell bent on blessing him. You\'ve grown soft, Celestia."
"Shut up and help if you don\'t want me to imprison you in this world."
"Hah… what a bossy lady."
Oberon shook his head, but a faint smile could be seen on his face.
"Thrice Blessed indeed," Oberon muttered as he placed his hand over the Tome on Ethan\'s chest. "What a monster."
Suddenly, the Epic Legacy Tome glowed with power, illuminating the surroundings and bathing the world in a golden light.
Sebastian and Ethan\'s Other Half watched with bated breath as the mystical force from the Water Fairy Queen washed over Ethan\'s body, igniting a power running through his blood and was just waiting for the right moment to make itself known to the world.
