YM778.TV Chapter 536: All Of You Will Assist Him In His Endeavor, Yes?
The Fairy Queen snapped her fingers, and all the Dwarves present on the scene found themselves trapped inside a water bubble.
All of them started to struggle because they were unable to breathe, making everyone in the clearing turn pale.
"Anyone who threatens Ethan will be my enemy, regardless if they\'re Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Fairies, and Beastkins," Queen Celestia said in a cold tone. "I guess all of you have lived very peaceful lives that you have forgotten that I am one of the Colossi, huh?
"No good. I must correct this misunderstanding right now so that all of you will understand that you mere mortals shouldn\'t offend those whom you shouldn\'t offend."
Degel, whose face had turned extremely pale from lack of air, was trying to hold his breath for as long as he could.
If he knew that the Water Fairy Queen could leave her Domain anytime she wanted, he wouldn\'t have said the things he said earlier.
"Queen Celestia, please forgive them," Ethan\'s Clone tried to talk things out with the Water Fairy Queen. "Please, do it for me."
Ethan\'s Other Half couldn\'t care less even if the Dwarves died, but letting it happen would create more complications in the future.
It would be better to make them indebted to Ethan instead, which would diffuse the current situation.
Queen Celestia knew that the one talking to him was merely a clone, but she still snapped her fingers to release the Dwarves, who all fell on the ground, gasping for breath and soaked with water.
"There will be no next time, Dwarf," Queen Celestia said icily. "You got lucky this time because my chosen one is benevolent. Now, why don\'t you thank him for saving your lives?"
"T-Thank you," Degel said as soon as he regained his composure. "I\'m sorry for my earlier outburst."
Ethan\'s Clone nodded. However, the corner of his lips curled up into a smirk as he eyed Constantine, whose face was as white as a candle.
"While I do forgive the Dwarves, I cannot forgive him," Ethan\'s Clone said as he pointed at Constantine. "He has to pay for the crimes he committed inside the Legacy Domain."
Originally, Ethan\'s Other Half planned to let Ethan deal with Constantine. But since Queen Celestia was already here, he might as well deal with this troublesome brat while they still could.
"Indeed," Queen Celestia\'s eyes glowed with power. "This person has murdered my subjects."
Constantine, feeling that he would never be able to do anything anymore if he didn\'t do anything now, immediately activated his Gravity Domain.
But before his Domain could manifest, he saw his right hand, which was holding his wand, fall to the ground in front of him.
However, it wasn\'t only his right hand. His left hand had also fallen on the ground, making some of the ladies scream in fright.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Constantine\'s shout drowned out the other screams in the clearing as the pain of having his hands cut off took effect.
"Simply killing him will not appease me," Queen Celestia stated. "Ethan, I order you to make him regret the crime of killing my Subjects."
"As you wish, Queen Celestia." Ethan bowed respectfully.
Queen Celestia then glanced at the Dwarves, making all of them flinch.
"After Ethan is done torturing that brat, he will be going to Northshire to have a dialogue with the Ice Dragons," Queen Celestia said. "All of you will assist him in his endeavor, yes?"
Degel and other adult Dwarves nodded their heads and promised that they would do their best to assist the young man, who was looking at the screaming Constantine with a devilish smile on his face.
"I order the Elves and Fairies to seal off this place and bar everyone from entering it," Queen Celestia ordered. "The Fomorians will be coming to the continent soon, so all of you better prepare to face them instead of focusing on your petty squabbles with each other."
After saying those words, Queen Celestia returned inside her Domain, making the golden orb vanish completely.
She was worried about Ethan, so she used the last bit of her powers to intimidate everyone and ensure that they wouldn\'t antagonize her descendant and would finally put the matter about the Epic Legacy Tome to rest.
"I\'ll be taking him first," Ethan\'s Clone unceremoniously grabbed Constantine before flying high in the sky.
Since Queen Celestia had dealt with the last threat from the Asta Family, there was only one thing that needed to be done, and that was to serve the screaming teenager in his hand to the Ancient Wendigo, making its power grow once more.
Professor Barret and Lord Edmond exchanged glances with each other.
"Barret…" Lord Edmond wanted to ask the Professor if he could convince Ethan to spare Constantine from being killed.
However, Professor Barret only shook his head.
"Edmond, you only have two choices here," Professor Barret said. "Choose the Asta Family and become the enemy of a Colossi, or explain what happened here to Oscar. Tell him that both Vladimir and Constantine fell into the Fairy Queen\'s hand and died because they offended her. I\'m sure he will know what to do."
Professor Barret was on Ethan\'s side, and seeing how he had personally targeted Constantine out of all people present, he knew that the young man didn\'t intend to let the other teenage boy live for long.
Although losing two talented Wizards was a blow to Eastshire, making an enemy of a Colossi who could drown the entire Shire Continent wasn\'t a very smart choice.
Also, anyone who would be a threat to Ethan must be nipped in the bud early before they could cause irrevocable harm to him.
Professor Barret wasn\'t a saint.
If he were going to choose between Constantine and Ethan, he would choose the latter anytime.
Not only because he was a student of Brynhildr Academy, but also because his potential was limitless.
After all, there was no other Wizard in history who successfully gained the power of two Legacies at the same time.
Professor Barret wouldn\'t want Ethan to grow up resenting Eastshire. So, although it might be heartless, he chose to side with him and turn a blind eye on whatever the young man intended to do with Constantine.
Perhaps Lord Edmond shared the same sentiment, so he only sighed and closed his eyes sadly.
Nicole, who understood that Ethan was also doing this for her sake, had a calm expression on her face.
She had already checked through all the survivors who had returned to the clearing, but she didn\'t see Vladimir anywhere.
This could only mean one thing.
He either left without anyone knowing, or he had perished inside the Legacy Domain.
Little did Nicole know that Ethan had dealt with both of her rivals, who stood in her way of becoming the future Patriarch of the Asta Family.
Although the two of them didn\'t know how Oscar Asta would react to the death of the two Prodigies of his family, one thing was certain.
The news of Constantine offending Queen Celestia would spread throughout the Shire Continent, and this would deal a blow to the Asta Family, who would suddenly find themselves targeted by the other nobles who had been intending to bring them down a peg for their arrogance.
