Chapter 526 I’ll Cross That Bridge When I Get There

“Yes, she’s right!” Aria commented while hiding behind Nika.

Henry found the situation quite amusing and fought the strong urge to hold Ethan to get a closer look.

Rowan, on the other hand, looked at the Salmon in disgust and started to wonder if his sister would break her relationship with Ethan once she discovered he had turned into a fish.

“Okay, listen up. I have a plan,” Ethan said. “It’s very risky, but I believe that it has a very high chance of success.”

Since no one knew what to do at the moment, they decided to listen to what the Salmon had in mind.

But after Ethan had finished his explanation, all of them looked at him as if he had completely lost his mind.

“That’s suicide,” Henry commented. “Are you sure you’ll be able to handle her on your own?”

“How about we help you?” Rowan proposed. “With Henry and I shielding you, the chances of this mission succeeding rises as well.”

“I’ll also help.” Nicole looked at Ethan stubbornly. “We can’t let you take such risks.”

Ethan shook his head. “No. Only Aria and I will be going. The rest of you, stay here.”

The Sacred Altar was in the middle of a large body of water, and there was only one path of land leading to it.

However, this wasn’t a problem for Ethan. With his Salmon form, he could just swim and stealthily approach the Altar underwater.

Once he arrived within range of where Aria could open the Legacy Tome, he would immediately make his move and destroy it.

He was confident that he could make it work with only Aria and him. Adding more to their raiding party wouldn’t necessarily increase the chances of their mission succeeding.

In fact, it would even decrease it because Ethan would have to prioritize saving their lives if they get in trouble.

“Listen, I am confident that I can sneak into the location of the Sacred Altar without being discovered,” Ethan said. “If you guys come with me, the Fairies will easily detect you. Can you really face off against thousands of them?

“Also, the sooner I go, the faster everyone in this Domain can escape. Even now, many people are dying. I can’t delay this any longer.”

Henry, who found Ethan’s words convincing, sighed before scratching his head.

“Although it pains me to admit it, this is indeed the best course of action,” Henry commented. “But are you sure that you will be able to pull this off, Ethan? No offense, but I’m finding it hard to believe that you will be able to hold your ground against Celestia in your fish form.”

“Don’t worry, Sir Henry,” Ethan replied. “Although I look like this now, I am still able to use my powers. Also, you already know what I’m capable of in this kind of environment, right?”

It was Ethan who had helped Henry control the power of his Legacy by defeating the Giant Statue under the Sea.

The Head Prefect of Dud Manor knew that Ethan wasn’t bluffing when he said that he would be able to fight anyone inside the Legacy Domain.

As for whether he was strong enough to face off against the Spirit of the Fairy Queen, that was still up for debate.

However, they didn’t have time for debates.

They needed to take action, so Henry reluctantly nodded his head and gave Ethan his blessing.

“You can go, but promise me that you will not risk your life,” Henry eyed the Salmon solemnly. “If you can’t handle it, come back to us. We can still fight together and make our way towards the Altar.”

Ethan nodded before shifting his attention to the High Pixie. “Nika, stay here with my friends. I’m sure that the other Fairies will not attack you. If they come to this location, make them go away at all costs.”

“… Fine.” Nika promised. “But you have to swear that you will keep Aria safe. If something happens to her, I’ll curse you for life.”

“I promise.” Ethan nodded.

The Salmon had already explained his plan of action, so although she was feeling nervous, Aria flew inside Ethan’s mouth, and stayed there as he swam toward their destination.

There were other fishes in the Wetlands, but all of them made way as Ethan swam past them.

After being a Salmon for a few hours, Ethan learned he had an interesting ability. He could increase or decrease his body size, whenever he wanted to.

His biggest form was sixty inches long, and his smallest was only a foot long.

This allowed him to move undetected under the water, with Aria inside of his mouth.

The little Fairy told him the general direction of where to find the Sacred Altar through their connection with each other.

With the power of his Origin Magic masking her presence, he was confident that even Celestia’s Spirit Form wouldn’t be able to detect the little fairy unless Aria was only a meter or two away from her.

But it was not only Ethan making his way towards the Sacred Altar.

Vladimir Asta, who had mastered the spell of invisibility, was also making steady progress as he transformed himself into a hummingbird.

This was the only animal that he could transform into, but he was very proficient in it.

He could even stay transformed for up to half a day if need be, making him one of the best scouts among the Magistratus Trainees during their missions.

Vladimir was laughing in his heart as he flew unhindered towards the blue pillar of light in the distance.

He wished that all the Fairies would kill everyone, including Nicole and Ethan, whom he treated as an eyesore.

With his unique skill set, he was confident that he would be able to snatch the Legacy Tome without endangering his life.

However, he was still on the fence whether he should acquire its power or not.

Vladimir might be confident in his ability, but he knew of many confident people in the world who thought too highly of themselves, resulting in their early deaths.

He was ambitious, but he wasn’t stupid.

‘I’ll cross that bridge when I get there,’ Vladimir thought. ‘For now, I need to get to the Altar first and see the current state of things. I’ll decide whether I should obtain the Legacy or not depending on its nature.’

He didn’t even bother to enjoy the screams that he was hearing around him because these people in his eyes weren’t important.

The only screams he wanted to hear were Nicole’s and Ethan’s.

These were the two people whom he wanted to see die right before his eyes. But the Legacy Tome took precedence above all else.

‘The fairies were shouting earlier “Die in Queen Celestia’s name!”,’ Vladimir thought. ‘A Fairy Queen is not an easy opponent. I better be extra careful when I’m near the sacred Altar.

With a plan in mind, he let go of all doubts and worries and flew straight toward his destination.

He wasn’t aware that, under the water, a Salmon was also swimming as quickly as it could.

Ethan and Vladimir had no idea that the two of them were actually neck to neck with each other as they headed toward the Sacred Altar.

With their current speed, it would take them at least six more hours to reach their destination.

Little did the two of them know that their opponent, even though she was only a Fairy Queen in her Spirit Form, was more cunning than the opponents that they had faced in the past.
