Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 538 Seff’s Advice

Seeing that the Fairies were serious about preventing her from approaching the handsome young man, Lyall smirked evilly and extended her claws.

But before she could do anything, Conall gave her a chop on the head, making her cry out in pain.

“Behave yourself,” Conall ordered. “Father came here because he wanted to discuss something with Ethan.”

“Ugh…” Lyall rubbed her head, her expression filled with injustice. However, she also understood that when her father did something, he didn’t want anyone to interfere with what he planned to do.

“I came here to let you know that although you have survived the trial, which could have led to your execution, this incident is still not over,” Seff stated. “Many have died on this expedition, and I'm sure they will pressure their leaders to punish you in one way or the other.

“Queen Celestia has declared that your enemies will be her enemies, but the Shire Continent doesn’t lack smart people. They will soon realize that the Water Fairy Queen is in a weakened state and will not be able to leave her Domain anytime soon.

“Also, the fact that you obtained her Legacy means that her power has greatly diminished. You might not understand the significance of obtaining a Legacy, but the reason why it is called as such is because you can only gain it if its owner is dead.

“Since Queen Celestia is still alive, yet she has given you her Legacy, it means that she doesn’t have the ability to drown the Shire Continent anymore. The moment people realize this, they will start to make plans for you.

“I don’t know how Edmond and the King of Eastshire will treat you from now on, but you must always be on your guard. Don’t trust them completely. You now possess incredible powers, and since humans are a greedy race, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to control you and your powers for their own purposes.”

Ethan nodded in understanding. Queen Celestia had also told him the same thing before he left her Legacy Domain.

The fact that she used the last bit of her powers to instill fear in the others and let them know the consequences of harming him made him feel truly grateful.

But at the same time, he also felt sorry for her, knowing that she pushed herself to the limits for his sake.

“The Dwarves will definitely take good care of you when you go to Northshire,” Seff added. “But after that expedition ends, you should be careful when you return to the academy.

“It may not happen in the next month or two, but when people start to connect the dots, they will no longer be afraid of Queen Celestia’s threat. Also, do not come to Southshire for the time being.

“My Race likes to bear grudges, and although you were not directly responsible for the deaths of our people, some might seek you to avenge those who have died simply because you obtained the Water Fairy Queen’s Legacy.”

“While it pains me to admit, we are a race that moves on emotions. Just like how a Beast will fiercely protect their young from predators, we will bare our fangs toward whomever we believed had played a part in the deaths of our people.

“But I have good news about this. Their hate for the Asta Family is greater than their hate for you. So, remind your… girl friend, Nicole, that she should not visit Southshire anytime soon either.”

Ethan nodded in understanding. “Thank you, Father. I will keep your words in mind.”

Seff snorted. “Don’t call me Father until you have personally visited our Ancestral Lands with Lily when you come of age. Only then will I recognize you as her Mate.”

“Father, you will recognize him as my mate, too, right?” Lyall grabbed onto her Father’s arm and swung it left to right like a spoiled child. “Right? Right?”

Seff pried Lyall’s hold on him and turned away to head to the exit.

Lyall pouted and shifted her eyes in Ethan's direction. But, seeing that the Fairies were raring for a fight, she decided to leave for the time being.

‘I can always visit Brynhildr Academy to see him,’ Lyall thought to make herself feel better.

Conall gave Ethan a brief nod before following behind his Father.

Lyall, on the other hand, bid Ethan farewell and even told him that the next time she saw him, she would pin him down and gobble him up.

The Fairies didn’t like what she said and unleashed a barrage of Water Spells at the hateful girl.

But Lyall casually evaded their attacks while chuckling happily.

She then ran toward the exit of the cave, leaving Ethan, as well as his Other Half, shaking their heads in helplessness due to the crazy girl’s antics.

Sebastian, on the other hand, laughed and even teased his comrade at arms, saying that having Lyall as one of Ethan’s lovers would be fun.

“No crazies in the Family Tree. Period,” Ethan’s Other Half said firmly.

Ethan ignored Sebastian’s and his Other Half’s banter inside his sea of consciousness and looked at the teenage boy who was writhing on the ground.

Dainsleif had finished eating Constantine’s other leg, and couldn’t wait to gobble him up completely.

Unfortunately, the Golden Egg was still not done absorbing his Magic Powers.

In fact, it was as if the egg knew that Constantine would be dying soon, so it slowly savored his magic power as if it was sipping a fruit juice.

“Hurry up,” Ethan ordered as he knocked the golden egg with the knuckle of his index finger. “If you don’t finish soon, I’ll ask Dainsleif to eat him whether you’re finished absorbing his magic or not.”

The Golden Egg couldn't talk, so it could only shake left to right as if mouthing a complaint to Ethan. However, the young man only found its action quite amusing.

“Spare… me,” Constantine said through gritted teeth. “Please… I won’t… offend you… again.”

“You should have thought about that before you attacked me,” Ethan replied. “Your hands are already soaked in blood, Constantine. I’m sure that you have killed many in the past for reasons only known to you.

“But the moment you took someone else’s life, you should have been ready for others to take yours as well.”

Ethan didn’t feel a tinge of guilt for killing the teenage boy before him.

Why would he when it was Constantine who attacked him out of nowhere?

He had learned in the Lands of Alastor that being kind to your enemies was a mistake. Giving mercy to someone like that was like giving them a knife that they could use to stab you in the back in the future.

Ethan had no mercy for dangerous individuals, especially ones who carried powerful Legacies like Constantine.

After the Golden Egg had drunk every drop of Magic Power from Constantine’s body, it jumped toward Ethan, making the latter catch it with his right hand.

He and the Golden Egg had already come to a silent understanding that the latter shouldn’t absorb his Magic Power unless he freely gave it.

The Golden Egg might be a voracious eater, but it wasn’t unreasonable, especially since it had already eaten something very delicious just a few seconds ago.

Ethan smiled faintly before returning the egg to his Morgan’s Ring, where it would digest Constantine’s power.

“He’s all yours, Dainsleif,” Ethan ordered. “Enjoy your meal.”

A sinister chuckle escaped the Ancient Wendigo’s lips because it had been waiting for this moment.

Ethan didn’t even bother to watch as he began walking towards the exit of the cave.

The Fairies, who also didn’t like to see something so gruesome, followed behind him without even a backward glance.

A few minutes later, Dainsleif returned to Ethan’s side with a satisfied look on its face.

As to whether it would gain the Legacy of Gravity, it would have to wait until it had properly digested the Wizard, whose soul had tasted as sweet as honey.

Ethan summoned the butterfly wings behind his back and flew in the direction of the clearing, where the others were waiting for him.

Now that Nicole’s rivals had already been eaten by Dainsleif, the chances of her becoming the Heir of the Asta Family had increased as well.

‘Seff is right, Ethan,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented as the young man flew in the sky. ‘People will realize that Queen Celestia’s threat has greatly decreased. Although it’s not bad to be in the good graces of the King of Eastshire, you should not allow yourself to be controlled by him like a pawn.’

‘I’ll keep that in mind,’ Ethan replied. ‘But I have a feeling that they will not do anything like that. More than anything else, I’m sure that they will do their best to ensure that I remain loyal to Eastshire.’

‘Hahaha!’ Sebastian laughed. ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re suddenly called to the Capital City again to receive a promotion. From Honorary Knight, you might become an Honorary Baron. Although you wouldn’t be awarded any lands, it would still be a good way to make you feel special, right?’

Ethan’s Other Half snorted, but didn’t say anything to reject Sebastian’s idea.

‘He will realize just what kind of background he has after he undertakes his coming-of-age ceremony in Midgard,’ Ethan’s Other Half thought. ‘When the time comes, he will understand that trivial titles such as Honorary Knight and Honorary Baron are nothing compared to the title he was born with.’

Ethan’s Other Half couldn’t help but smile faintly because he was looking forward to the young man’s reaction once he discovered his true identity.

So for now, he would keep this secret a little while longer as Ethan finished his first school year in Brynhildr Academy.

When he arrived at the clearing, he noticed that all the other races, with the exception of the Beastkins, were still there, waiting for him.

The Wood Fairies gathered around him and conversed with the Water Fairies as if they were the best of friends.

Degel, who was standing beside Professor Barret, apologized to Ethan for his earlier outburst.

He even added that he would escort him to meet with the Ice Dragons, so he could experience the Dwarven Hospitality, which very few in the Shire Continent had experienced in the past.
