Chapter 521: Well, I Guess She Has A Cute Side To Her Too

While it was true that Ethan was suffering under the crushing force that descended upon his body, it wasn't all cons as this allowed him to better understand Constantine's abilities.

Seeing Ethan's pained expression, Constantine lowered his guard and approached the young man lying on the ground, feeling confident that this would be his win.

Knowing that the time was right, Ethan summoned the Golden Egg he received from Fortis Dud and flicked it toward his opponent using his thumb.

The golden egg, which was unaffected by gravity, smashed into Constantine's chest, making him stagger.

Suddenly, the teenage boy felt his Magic Power being sucked away at an extremely rapid pace by the golden egg, making him panic.

Maintaining the Gravity Domain was a meticulous balancing act, and it required his full concentration and power.

The Golden Egg, which had suddenly found a source of strong magical powers, didn't hesitate to go all out and stuck to Constantine like a leech, draining him of his magic, causing the Gravity Domain to start cracking.

Having estimated that he only had a few seconds left to maintain his advantage, Constantine decisively crushed the token in his pocket, which made his body turn into particles of light.

The moment he disappeared, the Gravity Domain shattered into countless pieces, allowing Ethan to return to the real world.

Similar to the expedition in Nightfall Academy, some of the prodigies and geniuses were given tokens by their families and academies, which allowed them to escape from the Legacy Domain.

Ethan and the others had them too, and they were personally given to them by Lord Edmond during their journey toward their destination.

This was also why most of the Wizards and Witches were confident about being able to escape when their lives were in danger.

Originally, Constantine had no plans of using it, but knowing that Ethan would not hesitate to kill him, he decided to escape while he still could.

The Golden Egg, which had been sticking to Constantine like a leech a moment ago, fell harmlessly into the swamp.

Losing its target, it then moved toward Ethan and jumped on his head, intending to eat his Magic Power for dessert.

But before it could do that, Ethan grabbed it and swiftly returned it inside his storage ring, making him sigh in relief.

There were actually three ways he could have countered Constantine's Gravity Domain.

The first was to summon his own Domain by using his Grand Aria. There, he would unleash a barrage of lightning while drowning Constantine in the sea.

The second was to use the deck of cards, which were imbued with Rune Water Magic, filling up the entirety of the Domain with water, trapping Constantine inside of it.

The effect was very similar to his Grand Aria, but instead of using his own Magic, he would be using the magic imbued in the cards.

Ethan was prepared to use the first two methods to deal with Constantine, but his Other Half had another idea.

The Golden Egg given to him by Fortis Dud was special. It grew by absorbing the Magic Powers of Wizards and Witches.

According to Ethan's Other Half, he believed that the type of Magic Power it absorbed would give it an advantage when it hatched from its egg.

For this reason, he decided to let the egg suck up some of Constantine's Gravity Magic, allowing it the chance to gain the power of Gravity when it was born.

'Too bad, he managed to escape,' Sebastian sighed.

'Mmm, don't worry. Second time's the charm,' Ethan's Other Half smirked.

Although he was a bit disappointed that Constantine managed to escape, he was certain that the next time the latter and Ethan met, the arrogant prick would become Dainsleif's or the Golden Egg's dinner.

Ethan shared his Other Half's thoughts.

He had already marked Constantine as his prey. Since he was in the Heir Wars, there would be plenty of opportunities for the two of them to meet outside of Brynhildr Academy.

Just as Ethan was cleaning himself from the muddy water that had stained his robes, Lyall appeared beside him and helped fix his robe.

"That was amazing, Darling~" Lyall commented. "Too bad, he managed to get away. Don't worry. Next time, I'll help you kill him. Just make sure not to tell my father, okay?"

'… Now that I've gotten a good look at her, I guess she's not too shabby,' Sebastian commented.

'… Well, I guess she has a cute side to her too,' Ethan's Other Half nodded. 'But, she's still a crazy. So, no thank you.'

Ethan, who had finished cleaning his clothes, turned around to return to where the other Fairies were.

He wasn't aware that a mile away from him, Vladimir had seen how their battle unfolded using a magical telescope. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A look of disappointment appeared on his face when he saw that neither Ethan or Constantine died in each other's hands.

'What a shame,' Vladimir thought. 'If only the two of them weren't playing with each other and instead took the fight seriously, then one of them would have died, and the other would have been seriously injured. That would have been the best outcome for me.'

Vladimir was waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, eliminating two of the most troublesome opponents who were preventing him from becoming the new Patriarch of the Asta Family.

'Still, I'm sure that Constantine will cause trouble for Ethan now that he is outside the Epic Legacy Gate,' Vladimir mused. 'Well, I guess I'll watch and see how things turn out at the Altar.'

With a wave of his wand, Vladimir turned himself invisible.

He intended to sneak inside the Sacred Altar and see what kind of Legacy was hiding in it.

As someone who had great prospects, his only regret was that he wasn't lucky enough to have a fortuitous encounter with a Legacy Domain.

While his magical powers were indeed truly exceptional, he still felt jealous of those who had their own Legacies.

If there was an opportunity to absorb the Legacy Tome without worry about being corrupted by its power, Vladimir was willing to take that gamble.

He believed that as long as he obtained a Legacy, he would rise up to become the greatest Wizard of this era, surpassing those who had come before him.
