Chapter 929: Does This City Have A Name?

The Sea God's Trident in Ethan's hand shone brighter the further he headed into the direction it was pointing at.

Eventually, he reached a place where a giant underwater cliff stretched for miles.

Looking at the dark and seemingly bottomless pit in front of him, Ethan couldn't help but frown.

'The Sea God's Trident seems to be pointing at this bottomless abyss,' Sebastian commented. 'I guess you need to head down there, Ethan.'

'I don't sense any danger, but it will be best if you keep your guard up,' Ethan's Other Half advised.

Ethan nodded and dove into the darkness.

Lighting his way was the Sea God's Trident, which had now a beam of light shooting out, as if telling Ethan exactly where he needed to go.

With something to follow, Ethan no longer hesitated and moved in that direction as fast as he could.

Several minutes later, he discovered that the beam of light that the Trident had shot pointed to an underwater cave. Discover magic on m_v_l_e_m_p_y_r

Ethan entered the cave without a second thought.

To his surprise, several luminous spheres lit up inside the cave, lighting up the path that he ought to take.

The path was pretty straightforward, with no curves or forks. Not long later, he arrived at the end of the path.

Right in front of him was a symbol of a trident, which was also glowing with a bluish light.

Before the young man could even do anything, the Sea God's Trident flew from his hand and merged with the symbol of the trident.

A second later, a bright flash of light enveloped him, causing him to instinctively cover his eyes.

When the light receded, he found himself standing in what seemed to be plaza.

Behind him, an emerald crystal, at least three meters in height, glowed with green light.

Suddenly, Ethan felt a tremendous pressure descend at him from above, making him look up at the sky.

There, he saw a pair of giant blue eyes, looking at him with great interest.

'A Progenitor!' Ethan's Other Half exclaimed from inside his Sea of Consciousness.

'There's no need to fear,' Sebastian looked at the pair of giant blue eyes with a sigh.

'Do you know him?'

'Yes. I believe he won't hurt us.'

Ethan's Other Half trusted his partner in crime very much, so he decided to just observe things for now.

Ethan, who was being stared down on by such a creature, didn't sense any malice from its gaze.

In fact, after the initial pressure that descended on him, he could feel that the creature deliberately held back, as if to make sure that he wouldn't get hurt in the slightest.

"Who are you?" Ethan asked.

"Leviathan," the giant creature replied.

"Leviathan?" Ethan frowned. "Are you the Progenitor of the Sea? Do you know Queen Celestia?"

A faint chuckle reverberated in the surroundings as the Giant Sea Creature looked at the young man fondly.

"I haven't heard that name in such a long time," Leviathan replied. "How is she now?"

"She's currently sealed inside a Domain in the Shire Continent," Ethan replied.

Leviathan sighed. "She suffered in the last great war and needed to recuperate. Not to mention that she also has to hide from her enemies.

"But seeing that you've already met her means that the wheels of Fate have started to turn. Tell me, child. What is your name?"

"Ethan," Ethan replied. "Ethan Gremory. But I also go by the name Ethan Valentin."

"Neither of your family names ring a bell," Leviathan commented. "But that doesn't matter. Have you come to take your rightful place among the denizens of the sea?"

The frown on Ethan's face deepened after hearing Leviathan's question.

"My rightful place?" Ethan asked. "What are you talking about, Lord Leviathan?"

The Progenitor of the Sea didn't answer right away. Instead, he gazed at Ethan as if trying to see through his soul.

A few minutes later, the giant sea monster finally spoke. His tone was gentler than ever. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Look around you, child," Leviathan said softly. "What do you see?"

The young man scanned his surroundings. He saw that the structures around him were grand, reminding him of the stories about the elven palaces that had been standing since time immemorial.

Wanting to take a better look, he swam upward and gazed at the city around him.

There was no light in the city except for the faint light the green emerald was projecting in its surroundings.

But Ethan could see things using his X-Vision, allowing him to see even through the darkness.

A few minutes later, he raised his head to look at the pair of giant eyes that were looking at him with interest.

"Is this an abandoned city?" Ethan asked. "I don't sense any life in the surroundings."

"It is not an abandoned city," Leviathan replied. "No one abandoned it, and everyone protected it until their dying breath. Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the people faded away from history. Even so, all of them believed that one day, the Royal Family would return and send this ancient city back home."

Ethan felt something stirring from within his bloodline. He felt sad after hearing the Progenitor's words.

He didn't know why he was feeling this way, but for some reason, he believed that this city shared a connection with him.

"Does this city have a name?" Ethan asked.

"Of course," Leviathan replied. "Please look at the Emerald Tablet, and ask for it. It is a divine artifact that knows many secrets about the world."

Ethan descended back to the plaza and stared at the glowing green emerald in front of him.

"Can you tell me this city's name?" Ethan asked.

A row of text appeared on the Emerald Tablet, making the young man's eyes widen in shock.

Ethan's Other Half also looked at it in disbelief, while Sebastian chuckled beside him.

From the start, the Guardian of the City of Zentris had already known where they were, but he didn't say anything because he wanted it to be a surprise.

Since he had journeyed with the Tide Bringer, how could he possibly not know the place where his Master was born?

"Atlantis," Ethan said, surprise written on his face.

"Yes, child," Levithan. "Welcome to the lost city of Atlantis, the place where you rightfully belong."
