Chapter 574 The One Who Slaughter Monsters [Part 6]
Three minutes later, Dainsleif had finished consuming Aspis.
Harial, who was prepared to copy his fallen comrade’s strategy, tried to appeal to Ethan, and was willing to answer his questions as well.
But, Ethan didn’t give him that chance.
Before Harial could even make a proposal to him, he ordered the Ancient Wendigo to devour the wicked Fomorian, who was able to use the faces and bodies of the beings he absorbed to become his skin.
The mere thought of having such a sinister creature on the loose filled him with dread. Queen Celestia had informed him that Harial liked to absorb the bodies of women, and paid no attention to men.
Since that was the case, no matter what happened, he was the one person that must die no matter what.
“I can tell you everything!” Harial roared in horror and frustration because the roots that he had managed to burrow on the ground a moment ago had been destroyed by Ethan with a mere thought.
Everything inside the Celestial Domain was under his control. So, anything foreign inside of it wouldn’t escape his senses.
Although Harial had dug, and even severed his roots so that they could dig deeper without getting detected, his plan ultimately failed, making him truly scream in horror as the Ancient Wendigo ate him.
Due to him having the Wood and Life Elements, his vitality was truly great. Even as Dainsleif was consuming him, Harial was desperately trying to regenerate his body at a rapid pace in order to survive the Ancient Wendigo’s predation.
“I’ll tell you everything I know!” Harial shouted. “The reason why we attacked you is because you have Areadbhair! It is a weapon that shouldn’t exist! It’s the weapon that slaughtered our kind during the great war between us and the Tuatha De Danann!
“That was the real reason why we attacked you because having it means that you will become a great threat to our existence in the future! Stop! Please stop! I’ll tell you anything you want to know!”
Ethan didn’t even bother to stop Dainsleif from consuming Harial because he had no intention of allowing him to live.
Perhaps, knowing about this fact, Harial once again tried to appeal to Ethan by telling him more information that he might find useful.
Among the four Fomorians, the one who liked to kill the most was Harial. But, the thought of dying filled him with incredible dread, making him turn crazy due to fear.
“The reason why we came here is to find the ancient artifact that the Tuatha De Danann had left the Firbolgs! It is none other than the Stone of Destiny! The artifact that will allow us to find our true king who will usher our race to greatness!”
Fannar, who was still trapped inside the Water Bubble, wanted nothing more than to kill Harial, who was revealing the secret that they should have taken with them to the grave.
If he could only move his body, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill the traitor, who was still not finished with his attempt to gain Ethan’s forgiveness.
“The Fomorians are going to attack the Shire Continent in a year’s time!” Harial shouted. “Whether we find the artifact or not, we simply cannot allow the Firbolgs to exist because of a prophecy. I don’t know what that prophecy is because only our leaders know about it!”
Professor Barret, Seff, Lord Edmond, and Oscar all listened to Harial’s confessions with serious expressions on their faces.
If what the Fomorian said was the truth then they’d better make war preparations as soon as possible.
A year might seem like a long time, but anything could happen within a year.
There was also a possibility that the Fomorians would attack earlier, or maybe Harial wasn’t being completely honest, and was just throwing information just to confuse them.
Ethan was unmoved by anything that Harial said, and didn’t order Dainsleif to stop consuming the Fomorian.
Half an hour later, Harial finally met his end. Despite Dainsleif’s voracious appetite, the Fomorian desperately hung onto his life till the bitter end.
Fannar, who was the last of their group, didn’t even say anything and simply closed its eyes, and accepted its fate.
Ethan knew that kindness wasn’t always repaid by kindness.
This was why he didn’t hesitate to order Dainsleif to consume the Ice Demon, who had already lost its will to live.
When everything was over, the giant Hydra transformed into a ray of light and shot up towards the heavens.
A moment later, the constellation of Hydra reappeared, watching over the Celestial Domain as its guardian, ready to fight the moment he deemed fit to extend his hand.
Ethan made a last sweep over his Domain to ensure that there were no other threats that he missed during the earlier battle.
After confirming that everything was fine, he dispersed the Domain, allowing everyone to return to Grandshire.
“It will take some time for Dainsleif to fully absorb the memories of the Fomorians,” Ethan took the initiative to share this information with everyone. “When he is done, I will share all the information that we gathered with the rulers of the Shire Continent.
“Whether he was telling the truth or not about the Fomorian Invasion, I will know the answer in a few days. Until then, you can take everything he confessed earlier with a grain of salt. He might have mixed some lies with the truth in order to make us lose sight of their true objective here in the Shire Continent.”
Lord Edmond nodded his head in understanding. “I’ll visit Brynhildr Academy in a week. These matters must be discussed personally, instead of relying on ravens to deliver our letters to each other.”
Ethan agreed with the Grand Archmage’s words, and promised that he would have everything ready by then.
After that short discussion, the Grand Archmage of the Kingdom of Eastshire, and the Patriarch of the Asta Family flew away.
But, Oscar had given Ethan one last glance before he followed behind the Grand Archmage.
“He finally left,” Ethan muttered. “So, why are you still here, Lyall?”
The young lady had wrapped her arms around Ethan’s back, as soon as Lord Edmond and Oscar flew away.
Clearly, she had no intention of letting him go for the time being.
“Let’s mate,” Lyall said with a serious expression on her face.
“No,” Ethan replied in a heartbeat, and tried to pry away the crazy girl’s hands from his body.
Unfortunately, Lyall was very strong, and she was holding Ethan in a vice grip.
Professor Barret and Seff watched the two teenagers with an amused look on their faces.
Conall, on the other hand, scratched his head because he knew that his sister had developed a very strong, and unhealthy infatuation towards Ethan, making him give a silent prayer to the teenage boy in his heart.
“We will also visit Brynhildr Academy after a week,” Seff said to Professor Barret. “Why don’t you also extend an invitation to the Elves, and the Dwarves, so that we can all settle this in one go.”
Professor Barret nodded. “I’ll inform the Headmaster about it. But, if the Elves and the Dwarves are also coming, let’s just delay the meeting ten days from now to give everyone more time to prepare.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Seff replied before glancing at his daughter, who was latching on Ethan like a leech. “Conall, let’s go back.”
“What about Lyall?” Conall asked.
“Let her stay in Brynhildr Academy,” Seff answered. “Since we are all going there in ten days, it won’t make much difference if she goes to the academy earlier. Barret, I hope you don’t mind.”
Professor Barret wanted to say that he did mind. But, since Seff was someone who rarely showed an interest in someone, he decided to let it slide this one time.
“As long as she doesn’t disrupt Ethan during his classes, I don’t mind treating her as a guest in the academy,” Professor Barret commented.
Hearing that she was given permission to join Ethan in Brynhildr Academy for a few days, Lyall truly felt happy and gave her Father two thumbs up in her heart.
Ethan didn't share the young lady’s happiness, and even groaned internally. If Lyall was in the academy, that would mean that he wouldn’t be able to spend some quality time with Lily because her sister would always be with her!
Sebastian, on the other hand, laughed mischievously because he found this turn of events very amusing.
Ethan’s Other Half wasn’t amused by this outcome, but he couldn’t do anything except shake his head helplessly.
In the end, Lyall accompanied Ethan and Professor Barret on their return trip to Brynhildr Academy, and spent some time happily with her sister, Lily, who felt bitter because she had to babysit Lyall, and make sure that she didn’t attack Ethan in his sleep.
