BXBX NOVEL Chapter 533: His Enemies Are My Enemies
Ethan, who had once again put on his Academy Uniform, observed the changes that occurred in the Ancient Wendigo\'s body.
Dainsleif was so happy eating after being starved for so long that he even showed his Master his newly gained ability, which allowed him to turn his body to turn completely invisible.
\'Not bad,\' Ethan thought. \'I\'ll feed him Constantine next. I just don\'t know if Dainsleif can absorb his Gravity Legacy. If he can, then it would be a great boon to him.\'
Now that the two of them had shown hostility to each other, Ethan had every intention to feed Nicole\'s rival to his Ancient Wendigo.
He would not allow a dangerous individual to reign free. However, he couldn\'t openly do it.
The young man had to wait until the next mission for the Heir Wars so that he had a chance to meet Constantine again. But, he promised himself that the next time they met, they would not hesitate to end his life, and ensure that he would no longer pose any threat to him, or the people around him in the future.
While Ethan was pondering about these things, several Wizards and Witches arrived at the Sacred Altar.
Seeing that his sister had been captured, Conall immediately went on the offensive.
Right beside him was Cedric, who had protected a group of survivors from the Fairies by erecting a light barrier that they were unable to break.
After the commotion ended, and the Fairies no longer attacked them, he and the members of Brynhildr Academy decided to head to the Sacred Altar to see if they could save Ethan.
The rest of the Wizards and Witches, who were traumatized from their ordeal, decided to stay behind, including the Beastkins and Dwarves.
These two races suffered the most in this expedition, and they were just thankful that they were still alive at this point.
The Elves and Wood Fairies were mostly unharmed since they didn\'t hurt any of the Water Fairies, Pixie, and High Pixies.
Countless swords made of light descended upon the Fairy Queen, making Queen Celestia sneer.
With a wave of her hand, swords made of water collided with the swords of light that Cedric had unleashed upon her.
Also, countless water balls materialized in front of Conall before exploding at the same time, sending him skidding over the water for dozens of meters.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Ethan stood between the Fairy Queen and everyone else.
"Stop!" Ethan shouted. "Don\'t attack Queen Celestia. She didn\'t hurt me and Lyall."
"B-But she did!" Lyall complained.
Conall frowned, but he no longer made any move to advance forward.
Even Cedric had ceased attacking, making Nicole, Henry, and Rowan hold their ground.
"Okay, let\'s all calm down first and discuss what we are going to do to send everyone safely outside of this Domain," Ethan stated.
While he was talking, he sensed his Ancient Wendigo return to Morgan\'s Ring by itself to prevent anyone from discovering him.
It was quite fortunate that Dainsleif had used an invisibility spell before Conall and Cedric arrived.
Otherwise, things would have been more complicated.
"Will she really not attack us?" Cedric asked.
"Will you attack them?" Ethan inquired about the Water Fairy Queen that was standing behind her.
"Do you want me to attack them?" Queen Celestia asked in a teasing tone.
"No."
"Then I won\'t attack them."
Henry and the others didn\'t know how to think after hearing the exchange between the Water Fairy Queen and Ethan.
They didn\'t know whether Queen Celestia was joking or not. But, they had a feeling that if Ethan were to ask her to attack them, she would do that without a second thought.
"Ethan, can you explain what is going on here?" Henry asked. "Earlier, she was hell bent on killing you. Now, the two of you are like the best of friends."
"More like a mother and son," Rowan commented from the side.
Queen Celestia glanced in Rowan\'s direction because she liked what the teenage boy had said about her and Ethan being like mother and son.
Although she wasn\'t Ethan\'s mother, for her, Llyr\'s children were her family, so Ethan was like a grandchild in her eyes.
"Actually, I also don\'t know why she\'s not being hostile with me right now," Ethan admitted. "But since communication is possible, why don\'t we all talk about how we are going to handle the current situation?"
"Then, release my sister first," Conall stated.
"No," Queen Celestia replied. "If I release her, this crazy girl will start groping and kissing Ethan again."
Conall narrowed his eyes as he looked at his sister, who immediately shook her head from side to side, denying any and all allegations about sexual harassment.
"Fine." Conall knew her sister more than anyone else, so he could already see her doing whatever the Fairy Queen had accused her of.
"Traitor!" Lyall shouted.
"Um, can you shut her up too?" Conall asked.
"Gladly." Queen Celestia smirked before snapping her fingers.
A layer of water covered Lyall\'s lips, preventing her from making any sound, making the young lady give Ethan and Conall a face filled with injustice.
Now that the noisy girl was silent, the group finally discussed what they were going to do next.
In order to prevent any more interference, Queen Celestia created a dome of water around the Sacred Altar, preventing anyone from seeing, hearing, or entering it without her permission.
"Before we start, can I ask something?" Cedric said, making everyone look in his direction. "Will you allow everyone to leave this place unharmed, Your Majesty?"
Queen Celestia glanced at Ethan, who was seated beside her, as if asking him if he still had a few people he wanted to kill among the invaders.
"You should let everyone leave, Your Majesty," Ethan commented. "Enough blood has already been spilled."
"Okay." Celestia nodded. "I\'ll send them all out now."
A moment later, the darkness disappeared, and the night turned to day, revealing a clear blue sky.
All those who had entered the Domain, with the exception of those inside the Sacred Altar were immediately kicked out, making them appear on the clearing where the adults were waiting for them.
Henry sighed in relief because it seemed that the Water Fairy Queen was easy to talk to. But now that the others were safe, it was time to ask the more serious question.
However, before anyone could say anything, Queen Celestia raised her hand, telling everyone to hold whatever they were going to say.
"The Legacy Tome that all of you have sought for when you entered this Domain is no longer around," Queen Celestia said. "Ethan had inherited my Legacy, making him a part of my Family. His enemies are my enemies, so make sure to remember that, okay?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard that Ethan had obtained the Water Fairy Queen\'s Legacy.
However, there was someone who was more surprised than the others, and that was Henry, who knew that Ethan had already obtained the Tidebringer\'s Legacy.
No one had managed to have more than one Legacy at a time, and if what Queen Celestia said was true, then this news would make waves in the Wizarding Community.
Fortunately, Henry didn\'t plan on telling this to anyone because he knew that this would cause unwanted attention to be directed in Ethan\'s direction.
However, he still decided to discuss this with him later to ensure that this news would not spread to other people.
Cedric, who already recognized Ethan as someone very powerful, couldn\'t help but feel cold sweat on his forehead.
If he was already stronger than him when they fought a few months ago, then wouldn\'t that mean that Ethan would become more powerful after obtaining the Water Fairy Queen\'s Legacy?
The answer was definitely Yes, and it once again widened the gap between him and the person whom he wanted to overcome.
"Are you feeling alright?" Nicole asked Ethan. "Is your body holding up? This is not an ordinary Legacy that you have inherited. Are you sure that you don\'t feel anything weird in your body?"
"Well, I do feel something." Ethan admitted. "I feel very refreshed and relaxed. Just like waking up from a very good dream, or like taking a refreshing bath after not bathing for three days."
"… Well, thank you for that… uhhh… good comparison," Henry couldn\'t help but smile after hearing Ethan\'s description.
"So, are there any other questions?" Queen Celestia asked. "Because if not, I will be sending all of you outside this Domain as well. I have a lot of things to talk to Ethan about before I will let him go."
Everyone glanced at each other and shook their heads because they didn\'t dare ask too many questions in front of a being who could trap them inside her Domain forever.
"I\'ll see you guys later," Ethan said.
"Wait, Ethan," Henry interjected. "What are we going to tell the others? Should we tell them that the Legacy Tome is destroyed or tell them that you managed to successfully inherit it?"
This was a very important question because depending on Ethan\'s answer, it might cause him unwanted trouble when he left the Legacy Domain.
"Tell them that I gained the Legacy," Ethan replied after careful consideration. "I will handle the rest. Also, Head Prefect, tell Professor Barret that I will talk to him in private later."
Henry nodded in understanding because this was also one of the issues he had in mind.
"Very well." Henry smiled. "I\'ll see you later, Ethan."
Nicole gave Ethan a worried look, but the young man only smiled at her as if telling her that everything was going to be fine.
A moment later, all of them disappeared, leaving only Ethan behind with the Water Fairy Queen, who still wanted to spend time with him for a little while longer.
