Chapter 223 To Damnation And Beyond [Part 2]

Its gaze was locked on the teenage boy’s body, and a look of excitement could be seen on its face.

“I meant you no harm, Master,” the Black Cat replied through telepathy. “I am a member of the Orpheus Clan, and I was sent here to protect you from the shadows, My Liege.”

A look of understanding appeared on the young man’s face after the cat mentioned that it was a member of the Orpheus Clan.

A few days ago, Emma told him about the content of the letter she received from her mother.

His Promised One knew that her Master should be informed that the Protector Clans were sending their people to keep watch over him, so she didn’t hesitate and revealed all the information she knew about them.

Emma didn’t know whom the various Clans had sent in order to protect Ethan, so she only told her Master what she knew about the respective clans and what they specialized in.

There were four Clans serving Ethan’s Ancestor, and these clans had remained loyal to them for hundreds of years.

Because of this, the young man eased up a bit after knowing that the Black Cat was a member of the Orpheus Clan.

This Orpheus Clan specialized in espionage, information gathering, as well as assassination.

They were the hidden blades of the Four Protector Clans, and the role they played was just as important as the other three.

Ethan glanced at the young lady beside him, who was ready to take action at any given time. In order to prevent Emma from attacking the cat, he decided to tell her the cat’s identity.

“This cat is from the Orpheus Clan,” Ethan said.

Emma’s eyes widened in shock, not expecting that someone from one of the Protector Clans would make their appearance so soon.

But after realizing the Orpheus Clan’s specialty, the surprise on her face disappeared, and she calmly lowered her wand.

The handsome young man then shifted his attention back to the black cat, who was now sitting on the ground and looking up at him with a calm expression on its face.

“What’s your name?” Ethan asked the Black Cat.

“I don’t like my name, Master,” the Black Cat replied. “Can you please give me a better name? I would much prefer being called by the name that you will give me, Master.”

This time, the Black Cat shared its conversation with Emma, allowing the latter to hear their conversation.

“Are you male or female?” Ethan inquired.

He didn’t mind giving the black cat a name, but it would be easier to think of one after knowing its gender.

“I am a girl, Master,” the Black Cat answered. “Please pick a good name for me.”

‘This b*tch.’ Emma was clearly annoyed after learning the cat’s gender. ‘It seems that the Orpheus Clan is up to its old tricks again.’

As if understanding what was going on inside her mind, the Black Cat glanced in Emma’s direction and smirked.

Invisible sparks clashed between the cat and the young lady. Clearly, the two of them had no intention of backing down.

“Lilith,” Ethan said as he patted the Black Cat’s head. “I will call you Lilith from now on.”

The Black Cat purred, liking the handsome young man’s care and attention.

“I like the name you gave me, Master,” the Black Cat replied. “From now on, my name will be Lilith. I hereby swear my loyalty and allegiance to you, Master. By the Pledge made by my Ancestors, I will protect and serve you, even if I have to go to Damnation and Beyond.”

A golden light emerged from the Black Cat’s forehead and flew towards Ethan\'s chest.

A moment later, the young man’s eyes turned golden, resembling the eyes of a cat.

Emma, who saw this scene, frowned but didn’t make any move to interfere with what was happening.

As much as she wanted to be Ethan’s only protector, she understood that she couldn’t be selfish at this point in time.

Her mother had made it clear that Ethan’s life was very important, and they would not take any chances when it came to ensuring his safety.

The young lady sighed in her heart as she looked at the Black Cat, who had now become Ethan’s servant.

‘Do not forget, I am his Promised One,’ Emma said to Lilith through telepathy. ‘You’d better remember it.’

‘Oh, I will definitely remember,’ Lilith replied in a teasing tone. ‘Enjoy your position while it lasts. I will be watching you, Miss Promised One.’

Ethan, who wasn’t aware of the rivalry that had sprung up between Emma and Lilith, finally stood and walked towards the house.

The Black Cat happily trailed behind him like a loyal pet who wanted her Master to pay attention to her.

Emma followed behind the two with a heavy heart.

The reason why she felt aggrieved was not because Lilith was now Ethan’s servant. She was sad because she realized that the Black Cat would be able to follow Ethan wherever he went.

This meant that Lilith could enter the academy, go into Ethan’s room, and even sleep beside him on the bed.

Emma felt very jealous of the cat, and for a brief moment, the thought of eliminating Lilith came to her mind.

Sadly, she wasn\'t allowed to do that.

‘She better not do anything funny, or I will report her to the Orpheus Clan.’ Lilith grumbled inside her heart.

While this was happening in the countryside, the other candidates of the Protector Clans were biding their time to make their appearance.

They were aware that there was a chance that Ethan would be going to Nightfall Academy to participate in the grand event that they would be holding.

Because of this, they chose to send their candidates to participate in the event. This would allow them to help Ethan indirectly, without arousing any suspicions from the other participants.

Originally, First Years wouldn’t be allowed to participate in this event. Only Second Years and above had the qualification to do so because no First Years were allowed to enter a Legacy Gate.

The Legacy Gate was similar to a Nexus.

The only difference was that, instead of being teleported to the past, they would be teleported to a fixed location.

But it didn’t make it any less dangerous.

Legacy Gates was a treasure trove for those who were daring enough to explore its wonders.

However, danger lurked within it as well, and the chances of people dying inside the Legacy Gate were far higher than the people who entered a Nexus by accident.
