Chapter 516 Second Hand Embarrassment Is Real

Ethan mentioned the things he heard from the Legacy Gate, which made Professor Barret frown.

Nicole, Henry, and Rowan, who was listening to their conversation, showed surprise looks on their faces because unlike Ethan, they didn’t hear anything coming from the golden orb at the center of the clearing.

“Are you sure that you really heard this?” Professor Barret inquired. “It’s not just something imaginary, right?”

Ethan shook his head. “No. Professor. I know that this might sound hard to believe, but I am certain that what I heard is real.”

Since Sebastian and his Other Half had confirmed that they heard the voices too, it gave credibility to the voices that he heard.

Professor Barret pondered for a bit before nodding his head.

“I’ll bring Edmond here,” Professor Barret said after careful consideration. “We don’t know what is waiting for all of you beyond the gate, so if this information is correct then he must be informed of it at once.”

Ethan and the others nodded their heads in understanding.

A few minutes later, the Grand Archmage, who had just been talking with his old acquaintances, arrived with a solemn expression on his face.

He wasn’t alone.

Representatives of the Elves, Beastkins, Fairies, and the Dwarves were also with him.

“Ethan, I will cast a spell on you,” Lord Edmond said. “Think back to when you heard the voices. I will copy those memories, so everyone can hear it.”

The young man nodded his head in understanding and obeyed Lord Edmond’s instructions.

When the tip of the Grand Archmage’s wand touched his forehead, he felt a very cool sensation spread across his body.

A moment later, Lord Edmond pulled back his wand, and a small silver orb clung to it.

The old man then held the silver orb in his hand, and gave it a gentle squeeze, allowing the memory to manifest itself.

————————-

‘There are many bad people outside! Make sure to hide. Don’t let them see you!’

‘Hide while you still can! We will fend these invaders off!’

‘If they catch you, they will kill you, so no matter what happens, don’t show yourself!’

‘Just close your eyes, Aria. Don’t worry, we will protect you!”

‘Everyone, please, don’t die, okay?!’

‘‘‘We won’t!’’’

————————

The Elf and the Fairy both gasped because from the voices alone, they could tell that those who were speaking were Fae.

“How are you able to hear them?” the Dwarven representative was not impressed.

“Maybe this is just something that your mind has subconsciously produced,” the Beastkin commented. “Human minds are always active. This might be the byproduct of boredom.”

Although the Elf and Fairy representatives were also doubting the authenticity of Ethan’s memories, they were still thinking about the possibility of it being real.

“Depending on the circumstances, and if these Fae are only protecting themselves, a direct confrontation must be avoided,” the Elf commented. “It is not unusual for other creatures to live inside Legacy Domains. There are even some Legacy Domains where Humans have lived there for centuries.”

“That’s right!” the Fairy, who didn’t want her own race to be killed, voiced out her opinion. “It is important for both sides to communicate first. Maybe this can be settled without bloodshed.”

Lord Edmond was a Human, and his stance was neutral.

Only the Dwarf and the Beastkin were thinking that this was just nonsense, and a product of Ethan’s hyperactive mind.

“Still, the goal will remain unchanged,” a voice, filled with power and confidence, sounded from behind the group, making them all turn around to see who was talking.

There, they saw a devilishly handsome man, who was standing two-meters tall, and wearing a fur cloak that made him look intimidating.

He had long red hair, and his green eyes gave a gaze that was as sharp as knives, making those who look at him feel threatened.

The man looked like someone in his late thirties, and yet, the power that was emanating from his body made Ethan feel as if he was facing someone, who was at the level of Professor Barret.

But, when Ethan saw the two people standing beside the handsome man, his body involuntarily shuddered, making his eyes widen in shock.

“I knew it!” Lily’s sister, Lyall, immediately lunged at Ethan and grabbed hold of his arm. “I smelled a familiar smell, and it seems that my nose didn’t fail me. Ah… Ethan… we met again after a long time.”

The young lady with long red hair didn’t hesitate to wrap her arms around Ethan, and buried her face on his neck, sniffing his scent like a dog.

“Oh, no… you’ve become stronger than the last time I saw you… this is not good,” Lyall said in a very seductive tone. “I might not be able… to stop myself from… taking a bite, you know?”

Just as he was about to lick the young man, someone grabbed the collar of her robe and pulled her away from Ethan, making her cry out in surprise.

“Behave yourself, Lyall.” Conall glared at her sister, who was struggling to free herself from his grip. “Did you forget that Father is here? Do you want to get scolded?”

The young lady’s body immediately went limp, and no longer made any move to escape her brother’s grasp.

Due to how much she missed Ethan, she momentarily forgot that their Father was also here, and she had a feeling that her earlier act would earn her some form of punishment later on.

“Long blue hair and blue eyes,” Lily’s Father, Seff, eyed Ethan from head to foot. “You must be Ethan. I’ve heard a lot about you from my daughters, and my son, Conall.”

“Ethan Gremory,” Ethan said, holding Seff’s gaze fearlessly. “I am Lily’s Mate.”

“Ahhh~” Lyall’s face flushed after hearing Ethan’s declaration. “Ethan, call me your Mate too. Please! Just this once. I want to hear it. Please!”

Ethan ignored Lyall, and didn’t avert his gaze from Seff, who was eyeing him with killing intent.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds before both of them moved at the same time.

Seff unleashed a quick jab, aiming for Ethan’s chest, while the young man summoned his Sea God’s Trident, and blocked his punch.

A booming sound exploded in the surroundings, making everyone gaze in the direction where they heard it.

Ethan skidded a few meters away from where he stood, holding his Trident in a defensive stance.

He would have attacked too, but he had not enough time to do a proper spear thrust, so he did what he could, and blocked Seff’s casual jab with the handle of his trident.

Seff scoffed, but if one were to look closely at his face, the corner of his lips were slightly raised.

Clearly, Ethan managed to give him a good first impression.

Lyall, who managed to break free from her brother’s grasp, instantly appeared behind Ethan before the latter could even blink, and hugged him from behind.

“Ahh… you’re perfect,” Lyall muttered lovingly. “I love you! Marry me! Make me your mate, too!”

Conall sighed deeply before covering his face with his palm.

“Second hand embarrassment is real,” Conall muttered before walking toward Ethan to pry his naughty sister away from him.

What Ethan didn’t know was that the representatives of the other races were all looking at him in surprise, with the exception of Professor Barret and Lord Edmond.

Both of them were close to Ethan, so they could have stopped Seff’s attack if they wanted.

But, when they saw Ethan’s reaction time, they decided to not intervene and let one of the Powerhouses of the Beastkin Race give the young man a small greeting.

Since Ethan was able to block Seff’s surprise attack, this feat alone made all the Beastkins in the clearing recognize his strength.

If the young man only knew that this small greeting between the two of them would create waves that he never imagined, he might have allowed Seff’s punch to hit him, saving him from all the unnecessary troubles that would come to bite him at a later time.

Lyall’s eyes glinted as she looked at Ethan’s exposed neck, which she wanted to bite so badly.

But since her father was there, she decided to just hug Ethan for the time being, and bite him after the two of them had entered the Epic Legacy Domain.

‘Oh sh*t! The crazy girl’s eyes have turned into hearts!’ Sebastian shuddered.

‘I’m not accepting any crazy girl in the Family Tree!’ Ethan’s Other Half declared. ‘I don’t want crazy genes in the family!’

Ethan, who was being hugged by Lyall, was very tempted to smack the crazy girl’s head with the trident in his hands.

But, since her father was there, he didn’t take the risk, and endured Lyall’s crazy giggles, and sniffing, which almost drove Lilith, who was hiding in her Master’s shadow, insane.
