Chapter 252: This Isn’t Over!
Ethan had conjured Fairy Wings on his back and attacked the three Wizards in the air.
Emma, on the other hand, summoned Dark Spears and hurled them at the two Witches, who had unleashed two fireballs at her.
The Dark Spears pierced the Fire Balls, negating their effects.
However, her two opponents had already expected this to happen. Using their flying brooms, they circled Emma and attacked her blind spots.
This act made the seductive beauty understand that she wasn't facing regular Witches. Their strategy was on point.
Even she, who was confident in her spell-casting ability, was having difficulty finding a chance to counterattack. Her opponents were not only swift, but they also had deadly combination attacks.
'Everyone here is an Elite,' Emma thought as she summoned two Dark Shields to block the two Flame Spears that came from two opposite directions. 'It will take me a while to subdue these two b*tches.'
She then gave Ethan a side-long glance before focusing her attention on her two opponents.
Emma was worried that her Master might be in trouble since they were fighting elites, but her worries disappeared the moment she noticed that the handsome young man had the upper hand in the battle.
Similar to what Ethan had done when fighting against Cedric, the handsome young man summoned five clones of himself using Fae Magic.
These clones would then bombard their enemies with countless purple fireballs, forcing them to dodge.
Since they didn't know who among the clones was the real Ethan, the only thing they could do was attack any of the clones with the hope that they were targeting the right person.
Of course, the clones weren't idle and actively evaded the spells that were aimed in their direction.
Soon, loud explosions reverberated in the skies, and across the top of the mountain as the battle intensified.
Unknown to the teenagers who were fighting against each other, a faint rumbling sound was spreading in the mountain.
A minute later, dozens of Stone Golems rose up from the ground.
These Stone Golems then started to hurl rocks that were the size of an adult's head at the teenagers who were fighting in their Domain.
The two Witches that were fighting Emma weren't able to react on time and got hit by the Golem's attacks.
One of them screamed as she was pushed off of her flying broomstick due to the impact of the stone that hit the side of her body.
The Witch then raised her hand in an attempt to call out to her flying broom.
However, before her broom could even come to her location, a Dark Spear pierced through her shoulder, making her scream in pain.
Fortunately for her, the other Witch dove down and caught her mid-air before flying away in haste.
Emma clicked her tongue at the missed opportunity to kill one of their enemies. If she hadn't evaded the rock that was flying in her direction, her Dark Spear would have pierced her enemy's chest, instead of her shoulder.
'They managed to get away,' Emma thought before she, too, summoned her flying broom.
It was dangerous to stay on the mountain, so she decided to fly as high as she could in order to avoid the flying rocks that could potentially cause serious injuries to anyone who was hit by it.
Ethan, on the other hand, used this opportunity to intensify his attack against the three Wizards, who found themselves facing a difficult choice.
Either get hit by Ethan's Purple Fireballs or get hit by the stones that the Golems were throwing in their direction.
It was nearly impossible to fly upward because Ethan held the upper ground.
With countless purple fireballs descending from the sky, not knowing which was real or not, and the stones that were being hurled by the Stone Golems, the three Wizards decided to stick together and construct a protective dome around them.
Ethan's purple fireballs and the stones from the Stone golems collided with their barrier, creating cracks in its surface.
Emma, who had regrouped with Ethan, also unleashed dozens of Dark Spears, which merged with her Master's Purple Fireballs, creating flaming Purple Spears that shattered the barrier upon impact.
Cries of pain, and anger, reverberated in the sky as the three Wizards were hit by the Purple Spears.
Two of the wizards lost their grip on their flying brooms and fell toward the mountain.
The moment they crashed on the ground, the Stone Golems immediately mobbed them, punching their bodies until their bones broke.
Soon, blood dyed the ground under their bodies, making the last surviving Wizard scream as he flew toward the desert in panic.
However, as if hitting an invisible barrier, the flying broomstick that the young Wizard was riding on, took a nosedive towards the desert.
A minute later, his body crashed on the sand, sending some of it flying upwards due to the impact.
Ethan didn't know if the Wizard survived the fall or not, but he didn't take any chances.
"Fairie Ignis Impetum!" Ethan pointed his wand at the fallen Wizard and unleashed a barrage of purple fireballs, while Emma summoned a Dark Shield to protect the two of them from the Stone Golems that had finished killing the two Wizards who had landed in their midst.
A series of explosions erupted in the desert, sending sand flying in every direction.
"Let's go," Ethan ordered.
He and Emma then flew away to escape the angry Stone Golems, who were still throwing rocks at them from the mountaintop.
The two didn't fly toward the desert.
Instead, they flew toward the direction where the two Witches had escaped.
Ethan had vowed that he wouldn't take the lives of others needlessly unless he was forced to do so.
But since they had decided to attack him, he would show them no mercy to prevent future troubles from arising.
Emma was quite satisfied with Ethan's decision and flew alongside her Master.
Although she missed the kind and somewhat naive Ethan, she wouldn't trade the current one for the old one.
Right now, they were facing enemies from all sides, and being merciful would work in their favor.
A few minutes later, they managed to catch up with the fleeing Witches, who now regretted their decision to attack Ethan as soon as they discovered him.
"This isn't over!" the Witch shouted as she and her schoolmate broke their Escape Runes at the same time.
The two were enveloped by a flash of light.
A moment later, they disappeared completely, escaping Ethan's and Emma's pursuit.
"I'm sorry, Master," Emma said. "They managed to get away because of me. Please punish me for my incompetence."
Ethan shook his head. "You have to understand that we are fighting Seeds from the other academies. It will not be easy to defeat them. Although they managed to get away, we no longer have to worry about them returning.
"You can only enter the Legacy Gate once a month. So even if they receive medical treatment, they cannot enter this Domain again until the next time it opens. Forget about them for now, and let's prepare to cross the desert."
Emma nodded and followed her Master, who was flying towards the base of the mountain.
Ethan planned to regroup with Nicole before they headed to Luna's location.
Although he was confident that his sparring partner would be able to protect herself, he was still worried about her safety.
Since she was the nearest ally they could find, it was of utmost importance that they reunite with her.
They weren't aware that, similar to what happened on top of the mountain, battles between the different academies who had entered the Legacy Gate with them were also starting to take place.
The Wizarding World was not a very peaceful world.
Nero didn't only plan to let the academies help them distract the three Boss Monsters inside the Legacy Domain, and serve as their cannon fodders, he also wanted the different academies to fight against each other, killing their Seeds and weakening their overall combat strength.
Of course, the other academies knew about his intentions, but they didn't care.
Using this opportunity to eliminate the geniuses of their rival academies would guarantee that their own academies would be able to get an advantage when it came to gathering the resources that could only be found inside a Legacy Domain.
Somewhere within that small world, a creature that stood over six meters tall opened its eyes.
A vile chuckle escaped its lips as soon as it felt the powerful Magic Powers of the students who had entered its world.
Two other presences also awakened, but unlike the vile creature who coveted the Magic Powers of those that had entered their Domain, the only thing they wanted to do was to kill.
They were both prisoners and protectors of the land.
Their only goal was to eliminate the trespassers who dared to enter their Sanctuary, which once belonged to the Mythical Race of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
