Novel Full Chapter 480 The Origin Of Magic [Part 4]
Illumina, who had stood between Ethan and the Spiked Wrecking Ball, used her tail to send Ethan flying out of the Wrecking Ball’s Range.
She quickly figured that she wasn’t strong enough to perfectly block the attack, so she did the next best thing, which was to make sure that she and the young man would avoid the wrecking ball at all costs.
After hitting Ethan with her tail, she immediately dove down into the sea in order to mount a counterattack.
But before she could even touch the water, a blue chain wrapped around her body and started to drag her toward the Chained Paragon.
“Strike one, Ethan,” Professor Barret said in a teasing tone as he gave the captured mermaid a sidelong glance.
No matter how much Illumina struggled, she was unable to break free from the chains that were binding her. Seeing this, Ethan shouted her name.
“Illumina!” Ethan roared before summoning Areadbhair.
The moment the Spear materialized, Ethan immediately gave it the order to attack Professor Barret.
He believed that as long as he defeated the Professor, the Chained Paragon would disappear, freeing the mermaid princess from her grasp.
“Ibar!”
After hearing Ethan’s command, the Spear shot toward the Professor like a missile covered in flames.
Professor Barret then snapped his finger, making the Chained Paragon swing the chain in his hand, leading the Spiked Wrecking Ball to collide with the Flaming Spear, which was targeting its Master.
The moment the two sides collided, an explosion erupted, sending both the Spear and the Wrecking Ball flying backward.
However, before Ethan could even call his spear back to him, an orange chain wrapped itself around Areadbhair’s body, holding it in place.
“Strike two,” Professor Barret commented, making the young man’s face turn grim.
He wanted to teach Ethan a lesson and make him understand that sometimes, brute force couldn’t solve everything.
“Ethan, be careful,” Sebastian said in a solemn tone. “Professor Barret specializes in restraining and capturing his targets. His offensive power might not be as explosive as the other Wizards, but his defense and ability to bind his enemies is the real deal.”
The young man could only watch helplessly as his flaming spear was pulled away by the Chained Paragon, keeping it bound by its chains.
Seeing that the young man seemed to be at a loss for what to do, Professor Barret decided to go on the offensive this time.
Once again, the Chained Paragon swung the red chain and tossed the flaming wrecking ball toward the teenager, who was still thinking of a strategy for how to overcome his opponent.
“Dodge for now,” Ethan’s Other Half ordered. “You can’t let any of his chains hit you.”
Ethan nodded and was about to fly away when he found himself unable to move from his location.
He failed to notice that while he was looking at the Chained Paragon, a white chain had already coiled itself around his foot, holding him in place.
Looking in the direction where the white chain came from, Ethan noticed that it was connected to a small white portal behind him.
“That chain holds the power of space.” Ethan’s Other Half frowned. “It means that it can attack you anywhere and anytime. However, I believe that it has a fixed range. As long as you are out of its range, it will not be able to attack you.”
With a flaming wrecking ball resembling a meteor flying toward him from the front and a white chain coiled around his foot from behind, Ethan had no choice but to go all out in order to escape his dilemma.
“Come, Dainsleif!”
The Ancient Wendigo, which was one of Ethan’s Trump Cards, appeared in front of him.
The Wendigo then summoned a flaming purple sword and charged toward the Wrecking Ball, granting Ethan the chance to use his Sea God’s Trident to destroy the white chain that bound his feet.
Just as he had freed himself from the white chain, an explosion blew him away from where he was, making him fall towards the sea.
Dainsleif, on the other hand, managed to repel the wrecking ball, but he soon found himself bound by purple chains, which he was unable to break free from.
“Strike three,” Professor Barret said with confidence and made a tugging gesture, pulling the Ancient Wendigo toward the Chained Paragon.
Ethan knew that enough was enough, so the moment he dived deep into the water. He raised his power to its limit.
The entire sea churned, turning into a whirlpool amidst the thunderstorm that was raining down from the sky.
Seeing the changes in his surroundings, Professor Barret raised his hand, and the Chained Paragon slowly rose twenty meters above the raging sea under him.
“Ethan, I know you’re angry, but don’t try to force opening the Fourth Level of your Legacy,” Sebastian cautioned. “Your body and mind are not yet ready to take the brunt of its might.”There were five levels to using the power of a Legacy.
The first stage was the Adept stage.
In this stage, the owner of the Legacy would be able to gain a boost in their body’s physical performance.
Whether it be speed, strength, agility, or intelligence, the first level of a Legacy could enhance the body’s performance, making it superhuman.
The second stage of Ethan’s Legacy was the ability to summon a thunderstorm.
This power allowed him to manipulate the rain, as well as use the power of thunder and lightning to his advantage.
The third stage of his legacy was his Grand Aria, allowing him to unleash the power of his Domain.
Ethan was currently at this stage, making use of the power of the Storm and the Sea to fight against his opponent.
The next stage of Ethan’s Legacy was summoning a Guardian Beast that was closest to his element.
Sebastian was telling him not to unlock this stage yet because summoning a Guardian was not an easy thing to do.
It would require Ethan to be at his peak strength, as well as a vast amount of magical power to safely make this happen.
Right now, he was simply using his power over his Domain, and his magical reserves were already dwindling at a rapid rate.
Summoning a Guardian in his current state would cause him a backlash, which Sebastian didn’t want to happen.
“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Ethan replied.
He knew that this wasn’t a battle to the death, and Professor Barret wouldn’t really kill him.
So, he didn’t plan to take any chances and cripple himself by unlocking the fourth level of his Legacy.
After summoning the Whirlpool, Ethan summoned dozens of water tornadoes that circled around it, moving closer to the Chained Paragon, which was at its center.
Ethan also called out thunder and lightning to unleash a barrage of lightning bolts towards Professor Barret’s Perfect Resonance.
The young man didn’t believe that the Professor would remain unscathed by his attacks, which were empowered by his Domain.
When the water tornadoes and the lighting bolts were about to hit the Professor’s body, the Chained Paragon took off the blindfold covering his eyes.
A moment later, countless chains erupted from its back, forming a dome of chains around its body, protecting itself and its Master from Ethan’s onslaught.
“A battle of attrition? I’m in,” Professor Barret laughed. “Let’s see who outlasts who!”
Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half glanced at each other and sighed at the same time.
They already knew the outcome of this match, making them pity the young man, who was throwing everything he had at his adversary.
