Wizard World Irregular

Lyall was looking at Ethan with a heated gaze and would even send him flying kisses from time to time.

Ethan, who was seated on a chair Lord Edmond had conjured with magic, pretended that he didn’t see Lyall’s crazed look and meditated to prepare himself for the upcoming mission.

After careful consideration, Lord Edmond, Seff, the Elf, and the Fairy representatives all agreed to not wantonly kill the denizens of the Epic Legacy Gate and instead try to communicate first.

Since the Dwarf representative was outnumbered, he had no choice but to agree to their proposal. However, he insisted that, no matter what happened, the Legacy Tome had to be destroyed at all costs.

The other representatives nodded because this was the purpose of their gathering to begin with.

Soon, their decision was shared with everyone who was going to enter the Legacy Domain.

However, although their representatives had spoken, some only pretended to agree on the surface while sneering inside their hearts.

Once they were inside the Legacy Domain, such an agreement didn’t have much value, especially since they would be randomly teleported inside of it.

There was a possibility that the Domain inside it would be the size of a Shire Territory, or worse, as big as the entire Shire Continent.

Of course, there was also a possibility that the Domain would be small, only roughly the size of a magical academy.

Just like all Legacy Gates, aside from the Legacy inside it, there were also other important resources and minerals that could be harvested by those who joined the expedition.

This was similar to what happened in the Legacy Gate of Nightfall Academy.

But, there was just one difference.

The Altar of the Legacy Tome would always be in the center of the Domain, emitting a strong golden light that reached up into the sky.

The Gatekeeper couldn’t move far from the Gate it was guarding either. Because of this, all of those who had joined the expedition would know which direction to head to.

At most, it could wander a mile away from the gate, but not more than that.

Although Ethan wasn’t certain, he guessed that the Gatekeeper of the Domain was the Fae called Aria.

She sounded so cute and adorable, that she reminded him of Selene, who had now become Luna’s familiar.

‘I hope I won’t have to kill her,’ Ethan thought.

He didn’t mind killing, especially when the one whom he had to kill wanted to kill him first.

It was just that, after living in the Lands of Alastor, he learned to value and respect life and would only hunt beasts if it was absolutely necessary.

As the sun slowly descended to the west, the golden orb at the center of the clearing gradually expanded.

When the sun had truly dipped below the horizon, making the sky turn reddish purple, a golden portal materialized in front of everyone.

Ethan slowly stood from his seat and glanced at the portal, which they would soon enter.

“All of you are free to decide on what to do,” Professor Barret stated. “But, whatever happens, support each other. Unless it is truly an exceptional one, ignore any resources you see and head straight to the altar.

“You are free to farm resources after you’ve destroyed the Legacy Tome. The Domain will remain open for three days after you destroy the Legacy, so prioritize that first. Also, if communication is possible with the Gatekeeper, ask them to open the gate. They don’t have to be killed if they’re willing to cooperate.”

The students of Brynhildr Academy all nodded their heads in unison.

“Everyone, the gate is now stable,” Lord Edmond declared. “You may enter the Legacy Gate.”

They didn’t need to jump into the portal directly in order to enter the Domain.

As long as those who were qualified to enter it were within ten meters of the portal, they would immediately be sucked into it.

“See you all at the altar,” Henry said before walking towards the portal alongside Rowan.

“See you inside,” Nicole smirked before she, too, ran toward the portal.

Ethan unhurriedly walked toward the portal, but this was a mistake.

Before he could even react, a pair of slender hands wrapped itself around his arm, making the corner of his lips twitch.

“Let’s go together, Ethan,” Lyall said seductively. “Let’s spend our quality time, with just the two of us inside the Domain.”

Ethan, whose arm had been grabbed, increased the pace of his walk, practically dragging Lyall toward the portal.

The young lady giggled, finding his act quite amusing, and even whispered in Ethan’s ears that no matter where he went inside the Domain, she would be able to find him.

Conall, who was walking behind Ethan, almost felt pity for the teenage boy, whom his sister had locked her sights on.

Since he was still of age, he would also participate in the expedition and ensure that the Legacy was destroyed.

Nearly fifteen minutes later, only the adults were left outside of the Golden Portal.

They all stayed behind just in case one of those who had entered the portal suddenly decided to acquire the Epic Legacy as their own.

If that were to happen, none of them would hesitate to go for the kill for the sake of the safety of the Shire Continent.

They might be rivals, but when it came to crucial moments like this, they were truly united.

If there were any outside threats that threatened them all, they would naturally band together and repel the enemies with everything they had.

“He’s not half bad, right?” Professor Barret summoned a chair and sat beside Seff, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

“Are you the one who trained him?” Seff asked back.

“Yes,” Professor Barret replied. “He just started his training, but I’m sure that he’ll be strong enough to survive a battle against you after he graduates from the academy.”

“Only survive?” Seff sneered. “Surviving is not enough, Barret. He must overcome me in order to gain my recognition.”

Professor Barret chuckled after hearing the strongest Beastkin in Southshire.

“What makes you think that Ethan needs your recognition?” Professor Barret asked in a teasing tone. “No, Seff. Ethan doesn’t need your recognition.”

“We’ll see about that.”

“If that makes you sleep at night, then go ahead, knock yourself out.”

The two continued to exchange barbed words with each other, not backing down in the slightest.

“I’ll borrow him when this expedition ends,” Seff stated. “I’m sure he can take a few weeks away from your academy, no?”

“That might be difficult. He already has a prior engagement.” Professor Barret sneered. “Also, don’t think that you can drag our students away just because you want to. That’s not how the world works, Seff.”

“It seems that you are starting to go senile, Barret. Maybe it’s about time to remind you why you had to live in the countryside.”

“It has been a while since I kicked a mongrel. I guess I will be having fun later tonight.”

Both of them had exchanged blows with each other multiple times in the past, and Seff was one of the handful of people who knew that Professor Barret actually possessed a Complete Resonance.

But, even with the Ex-Magistratus strength, their duels always ended in a draw, with neither of them able to gain an advantage over the other.

Because of this, they had recognized each other’s strength and were able to talk like equals, which was something that not many in the Shire Continent could do, especially when one of them was the reigning Beast King of Southshire.
