Chapter 431 The Six Eras Of The World [Part 2]

?“With that said Ethan, I have very bad news for you,” Vincent said. “These Fomorians are now coming to go out of their dens to start their rampage once again.

“Of course, they will not rise up en masse and attack willy nilly. They are just going to send a few teams out in the open and one of those teams is headed to the Shire Continent. In short, your relatively peaceful life will become more exciting. Isn’t that fantastic?”

Ethan didn’t know if Vincent was joking or not about his life being exciting.

A team of hulking giants with powers that could potentially destroy towns and entire cities is not something exciting or fantastic in his book.

Seeing his expression, Vincent only laughed, which is actually quite soothing.

‘He really has a good voice,’ Ethan thought. ‘Even his laughter is good. I wonder what kind of woman was able to tame such a dangerous man.’

Yes.

For Ethan, Vincent was a dangerous man.

When he first saw him, the handsome man was sitting on top of a pile of corpses, and if memory served him right those were fresh corpses, which meant that he had killed them an hour or two before Ethan appeared in front of him.

“Well then, Ethan, I guess that’s it for our chat,” Vincent said reluctantly. “Feel free to visit me often because I enjoy your company. Perhaps next time, I’ll tell you the rest of the tale of the Six Eras of the World.

“Oh, and one more thing, I took a glance at your lovers just now from your memory. All of them are very fine young ladies, and I got to say, you’re one lucky guy. But, let me give you another piece of advice before you go. Chloe is someone you should…”

Ethan wasn’t able to hear the continuation of what Vincent was going to say next because he had already disappeared right in front of him, making the handsome man scratch his head.

“I don’t know if he is lucky or unlucky,” Vincent couldn’t help but chuckle because he was unable to tell Ethan the important part.

However, a second later a beautiful woman appeared beside Vincent and glanced at the empty seat where Ethan was sitting earlier.

“I tried to stall for time, but you came too late,” Vincent said with a smile.

“It’s fine,” the beautiful woman replied. “I’ll meet him sooner or later. We still have a place to go.”

Vincent’s carefree face suddenly became serious. “Are they moving?”

“Yes,” the beautiful woman answered, “They are trying to track him down.”

The handsome man clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“They never learn, do they?” Vincent sneered.

“They don’t.” The beautiful woman sighed. “We also can’t do this forever. The only thing we can do is buy him a little more time.”

Vincent nodded as he summoned his sword. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go hunt some Cult Members.”

A moment later, the two of them disappeared from the deserted island.

The land of Saraqael wasn’t a peaceful place, but today blood would once again dye the ground red.

—————————

The scenery around Ethan abruptly changed.

One moment he was talking with Vincent on a deserted island, the next time, he was standing inside the maze.

“Are you alright, Ethan?” Sebastian asked. “You zoned out for a few minutes.”

“I’m fine,” Ethan replied. “I saw Vincent again.”

“That man you met when you were under Astral Projection?” Ethan’s Other Half inquired. “The one that taught you X-Vision?”

“Yes.” Ethan nodded.

“What was he doing when you saw him?”

“He was lying down on a hammock on a deserted island.”

Ethan’s Other Half chuckled. “As carefree as ever. Some things still haven’t changed.”

The young man wanted to ask his Other Half if he really knew Vincent, but he had a feeling that his question would just get brushed off.

Since that was the case, he just focused on the path in front of him and started to walk, while placing his hand on his right.

He was still in the middle of the maze, and he hoped that he would reach the exit before something unexpected happened again.

————————————

While Ethan was traveling through the maze under the Dud Manor, a young lady made her way to the woods.

Her long, light brown hair couldn’t be seen at the moment because she was wearing a hood to cover her head.

Similar to Ethan, she had left the Jaeger Manor to go to the Great Eagle Forest, and there, she was met by three creatures, which Ethan had met in the past.

One was the Unicorn that Chloe had ridden during one of their group activities, the other was the White Gorilla, Koko, whom the young lady had somehow befriended.

Last, but not the least was Broodmother who treated the center of the Great Eagle Forest as her exclusive territory.

The big spider gave Chloe some chirping sounds as if to greet her, and the young lady greeted her back.

“It’s good to see that you’re doing well, Lady Broodmother.”

*Chirp*

After returning their greetings to each other, another creature joined this group that was currently having a secret meeting.

“Since everyone is here, let us all start the meeting,” the Chesmire Cat, Chessy said. “I will be leaving to meet with the Elves in Westshire in a few days, so I will not be around. Since that is the case, I will tell you the news that I have gathered from Midgard.

“First and foremost, the Fomorians are starting to stir. Sooner or later they will make their way here to the Shire Continent. Of course, they will be able to sense the relic hidden here by the Fir Bolgs, so it is highly possible that they will come to the Great Eagle Forest.

“The only saving grace is that it is close to the academy, so Rinehart, Barret, and the other Professors will mobilize if they sense their approach. But, just to be on the safe side, it will be best if Chloe takes possession of it for the time being since she will be able to use its power.”

“I have no complaints with this arrangement,” the Unicorn replied.

Koko rubbed his chin before giving his answer. “Well, if Chloe were to take possession of the artifact then she mustn’t leave the academy at all cost. As long as she stays inside the academy, I have no objections.”

*Chirp* *Chirp*

Broodmother shared the same opinion as Koko.

She knew that as long as the artifact was near the Great Eagle Forest, its power would remain in effect even if it was inside the academy.

“Chloe, you heard them,” Chessy commented. “Are you prepared to take this responsibility? Know that if you are going to leave the academy, no matter what reason it may be for, you must return the artifact to Broodmother for safekeeping.”

“I understand.” Chloe nodded. “I will keep it safe, and stay in the academy.”

*Chirp*

Broodmother then tapped one of the invisible strings beside her.

A chain reaction took place, making the spiderwebs that covered Broodmother’s territory shake continuously as if they were vibrating.

At that moment, a faint sigh echoed in the surroundings, which made Chloe think that the Forest itself was the one who heaved that great sigh.

Of course, she didn’t think that was possible due to her current knowledge.

But, sometime in the future, the young lady would realize that the Great Eagle Forest was more than what it seemed on the surface.

(A/N: I just finished writing the ending of my other story, Strongest Necromancer of Heaven’s Gate. Writing it drained me emotionally and physically. Because of this, I will resume writing regular chapters tomorrow.

I’m sorry for slacking a bit, but I wanted to give the ending of the story justice, so I spent a lot of time writing the final chapters. Once again, thank you for understanding and I’ll see you all in the next chapters!)
