Chapter 535 Volume 3: It Will Not Take Much Effort To Drown You Shorties!
When Ethan returned to the forest of Westshire, he didn’t appear in the clearing where the entrance to the Epic Legacy Domain was located.
Instead, he was deliberately sent a mile away from it, as requested by his Other Half from Queen Celestia.
‘Right now, dozens of powerful Wizards, Witches, Elves, Fairies, Beastkins, and Dwarves are gathered at that clearing, waiting for you to arrive,’ Ethan’s Other Half said. ‘It would be best to scout to have an idea as to how they will react when you make your appearance.’
Aria, Nika, and the Thirty Fairies who were ordered to accompany Ethan were also aware of their Master’s current situation.
‘Sebastian and I will do an experiment, so lend me your body for a bit,’ Ethan’s Other Half stated. ‘Although I’m sure that Professor Barret and maybe the Grand Archmage, Edmond, is on your side, it’s still best to be safe than sorry.’
Ethan nodded his head in understanding and allowed his Other Half to take over his body.
The Sea God’s Trident, which had Sebastian’s gem embedded in it, appeared beside him.
Grasping the Trident Ethan’s Other Half chanted a spell, creating a human made of water.
His specialty was making illusions, and he simply needed to make the illusion real enough so that others would think that it was Ethan.
For that to happen, he needed mass, and what better way to do it than create a human made of water with Ethan’s appearance?
A perfect replica of Ethan appeared, wearing the same clothes he had.
“Go,” Ethan’s Other Half ordered, and the Clone bowed his head respectfully.
A moment later a crystal-like butterfly wings appeared on his back, making all the Water Fairies look at their Master’s clone with sparkling eyes.
“Fairy Prince!”
“Un! Fairy Prince!”
“As expected of our Queen’s descendants. He is indeed a Prince!’
Ethan inquired why the Fairies started calling him a Prince, and they were more than happy to answer his questions.
According to them, in the Fairy World, only those with butterfly wings were part of the Royal Family.
Aside from them, the other Fairies only had wings similar to that of a dragonfly.
The young fairies had two of them. But, as they grew older, they would gain another pair of wings.
Those who had become more powerful like High Pixies and High Fairies would gain six wings, which was the only way to tell how powerful a Fairy or Pixie was.
While the Fairies were explaining these things to Ethan, his clone finally arrived at the clearing.
The moment Ethan landed, everyone’s gazes locked on his body.
Since Ethan’s Other Half was the one controlling it, he acted normally and walked towards Professor Barret and Lord Edmond, who had already been told about what had transpired inside the Legacy Domain.
But, just as Ethan was about to arrive near the adults, Constantine shouted from where he stood.
“He took the Legacy for his own instead of destroying it!” Constantine shouted. “He might already be possessed by its power and has become a puppet of the Water Fairy Queen! I say we end him now before he can threaten the Shire Continent!”
The Beastkins, Dwarves, and Humans were the races that had suffered a lot during the expedition.
Several young geniuses had perished inside the Legacy Domain, which was something that was making the adults feel resentful.
Because of this, they needed an avenue to vent their frustration, and what better way to do it than to target Ethan, who had acquired the Legacy inside the Domain.
Professor Barret and Lord Edmond walked toward Ethan and stood on each of his side, protecting him from those who wanted to take his life.
“You talk loudly for someone who instigated the Humans, Dwarves, and Beastkins to attack the Fairies in the beginning of the expedition,” Ethan’s Clone snorted. “If not for you, the Fairies wouldn’t have antagonized the Human race and massacred them inside the Domain. If there is anyone who should be killed here, it’s none other than you.
“There was already an agreement that we must first try to initiate peaceful dialogue between us and the denizens of the Domain. Yet, you ignored the direct orders of your superiors and led everyone to massacre the Fairies.”
“H-He’s lying!” Constantine denied Ethan’s words. “I did no such thing.”
“You did!” a Wood Fairy shouted. “I was there when you told the Humans that the Water Fairies shouldn’t be trusted and must be killed before they attacked us!”
“I was there as well,” an Elf stepped forward and pointed his finger at Constantine. “Because of you, many lives were lost inside the Domain. You scummy Human!”
The Fairy and Elf that had spoken were both prodigies of their race, so their words held some weight, making the Adult Elves and Fairies glare in Constantine’s direction.
Ethan’s Clone crossed his arms over his chest as he eyed Constantine, who suddenly became the public enemy number one of the members of the Young Generation.
“Let’s put aside the Human boy’s act for a moment and focus on the situation at hand,” a Dwarf holding a large hammer in his hand stated. “Our goal for coming here was to destroy the Legacy Tome, but it seems that Human greed still won in the end. That power should not be allowed to exist.”
Lord Edmond looked at the Dwarf and smiled. “So, what do you suggest, Degel Hammerhand?”
“What else?” Degel sneered. “In order to prevent future problems, I say we smash that young man’s head.”
“Are you sure about that?” Seff asked. “My daughter, Lyall, told me that the Fairy Queen declared that Ethan’s enemies would be her enemies. Have you forgotten what Queen Celestia had done in the past?”
“Hmph! That is just tales used by Humans to scare their children,” Degel snorted.
“I’m afraid they are not mere tales, Degel,” one of the members of the Elven Council stepped forward. “Us Elves have also been told to never ever offend the Water Fairy Queen again. We didn’t know that this Domain belonged to her.
“If we did, we wouldn’t have allowed anyone to disturb her rest. We dare not offend the Colossi who was once betrayed by our people. Also, the moment we antagonize her, it will not only be the Water Fairy Queen who will become our enemy. Arariel will also come to drag us all to the bottom of the sea.”
Degel laughed out loud after hearing the Elf’s words.
“I guess it is you Elves who don’t know about real history. Weren’t Arariel and his Kingdom, Atlantis, destroyed when they were attacked by the Fomorians, Demons, and Shadow Wolders?” Degel sneered. “I’m sure he is hiding right now in fear of being targeted by those who wrecked his kingdom.”
“What is this dumb dwarf talking about?” a High Fairy raised her fist in anger. “The ones who won that war were Queen Celestia and Arariel! The fact that this Legacy Domain belongs to Queen Celestia is proof that she is still alive! If she is alive, then Arariel is still alive! Even if he is hiding, it will not take much effort to drown you shorties!”
“That’s right!” another Fairy shouted. “If you midgets want to die so badly, don’t drag the entire continent with you, Fools!”
Degel, who had been called dumb, shorty, and midget, roared in anger as he raised his hammer.
The other Dwarves also took action ready to fight, but before anyone could even do anything, something unexpected happened.
“I see, so the Dwarves are still as stubborn as I remember, huh?”
Degel, who was raring to fight a while ago, glanced above him and saw a beautiful lady with crystal-like butterfly wings hovering dozens of meters in the air.
Everyone in the clearing subconsciously took a step back as they all looked at the Water Fairy Queen, who had suddenly left her domain to deal with the annoying Dwarf, who intended to kill her descendant.
