Chapter 308 306-The Mysterious Electro Magus
Ethan's eyes pierced through the holy light, capturing Daphne in her entirety.
Amidst the holy radiance, Daphne's body lay bare, her twin peaks adorned with delicate, rosy nipples.
Her flat abdomen was just perfect, with a belly button that added a touch of allure.
Looking further down…
To his astonishment, there was not a trace of darkness between her legs.
Ethan's eyes widened; Daphne was a "White Tiger."
He couldn't tell if Daphne was naturally this way or if some transformation had occurred within the cocoon.
Nevertheless, the area between Daphne's legs was impeccably smooth, and Ethan could even glimpse the rosy folds of her flesh.
Feeling a rush of blood, Ethan realized a warmth in his nose.
He was bleeding…
Ethan awkwardly wiped away the blood, murmuring to himself with a slight sense of nostalgia:
"It's been a long time since I've felt this way."
Daphne gracefully descended from within the holy light.
Her figure was elegant and tall, radiating a mysterious glow.
The intricate runes that once adorned her body were now gone, leaving her skin as smooth and lustrous as jade.
Her long hair, cascading down to her waist, shimmered with a silver-white brilliance, reminiscent of moonlight spilling into the night.
The silver-white hue of her hair lent Daphne an air of ethereal coldness, her aura becoming noble and mysterious.
Her eyes were crystal clear, like two pristine lakes, swirling with endless wisdom and tenderness.
The hint of newborn confusion in her gaze filled Ethan's heart with affection.
"You..." Daphne tilted her head, looking at Ethan, "Are you Ethan?"
Ethan slightly averted his eyes, daring not to gaze upon the naked Daphne: "It's me. Now that you're awake, let's go."
Saying so, Ethan handed over a white robe to Daphne.
Only then did Daphne realize she was completely bare.
Perhaps due to Phito's teachings, she still retained some sense of modesty. Her face flushed red, and she conjured a holy light to shield her body.
Then, behind the veil of holy light, she dressed.
Seeing this, the corners of Ethan's mouth twitched slightly as he thought to himself: "Celestial Blossom has truly transformed Daphne into a different person. Demi-god Phito, I will definitely take good care of Daphne."
Once Daphne was clothed, she dispelled the holy light.
Only then did Ethan allow his gaze to return to Daphne, nearly finding it hard to look away.
Daphne was clad in a pure white robe, the fabric delicate and smooth, as light and flowing as silk.
The hem was adorned with twinkling star patterns, reminiscent of the starry sky, imparting a sense of sacredness and solemnity.
This white robe suited Daphne perfectly.
Ethan clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, Daphne. You look truly beautiful."
Daphne disregarded Ethan's words, instead looking around as she asked:
"Where is Mr. Phito? Where is he?"
Saying so, Daphne even put her hands around her mouth, shouting out loud.
Ethan's expression turned serious, and after a moment of contemplation, he tried to speak casually, "Mr. Phito has been by the side of the Celestial Blossom for too long. Now that I have taken the Celestial Blossom away…"
"Mr. Phito no longer has the quest to guard the Celestial Blossom, so he has left."
As expected, Daphne's gaze immediately shifted to where the Celestial Blossom used to be.
The once swaying Celestial Blossom had now vanished, and without a doubt, it was taken by Ethan.
Daphne turned to look at Ethan, her beautiful eyes widened, and within them, there was a trace of wildness:
"You're lying. Mr. Phito would never abandon me. He promised me before."
"If he was going to leave, he would definitely take me with him."
A bitter smile rose in Ethan's heart, as he thought to himself, "Mr. Phito, aren't you putting me in a tight spot here?"
However, Ethan didn't want to reveal the real reason to Daphne right now.
What if Daphne broke down and decided to smash her head against a rock?
The emotional bond between Phito and Daphne might truly reach that extent.
"Really," Ethan sighed deeply, "Mr. Phito has been in the Demi-god realm for quite a long time. He needs more opportunities to break through from Demi-god, so he has gone far away."
Daphne still wanted to speak, but Ethan cut her off directly:
"The path to breakthrough from Demi-god to deity is certainly fraught with difficulties, and he might even encounter a deity. Demi-god Phito said that this journey is too dangerous, so he's not taking you with him."
"Mr. Phito has entrusted you to me, so from now on, you'll be with me."
Daphne's long eyelashes fluttered, and tears continued to pool in her eyes, resembling a water pond after the rain:
"How can this be... Mr. Phito said, he would never leave me behind."
Ethan stepped forward and embraced Daphne in his arms:
"Daphne, rest assured. I will take care of you, just like how Mr. Phito did."
Daphne sobbed in Ethan's embrace, whimpering:
"I have always regarded Mr. Phito as a father, and now he has left."
"My heart feels empty, Ethan, what's happening to me?"
Ethan pursed his lips, holding Daphne even tighter.
He didn't answer Daphne's question, but instead repeatedly said:
"The part of you that feels empty, I will help you fill it up."
Just as the two shared this tender moment, Ethan's ears twitched.
He heard the sound of someone approaching from afar.
The person was moving very fast and possessed considerable strength.
Ethan gently pushed Daphne away, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said gently:
"Someone is looking for trouble. Wait here for me a moment."
Daphne was still unaware of what was happening, but the next second, the person appeared before them.
"Hmm? Not here?" The person was cloaked, hovering in the air.
This person was a magus; Ethan could feel the thick elemental energy emanating from his body, and he made his judgment.
"No, it's that woman who has taken the treasure."
The cloaked person turned their head towards Daphne.
Ethan could feel the greedy red eyes hidden beneath the cloak, gazing intently at Daphne.
Ethan, without the time to confront an opponent of this level, lightly stated:
"If you leave now, you might just save your own life."
Only then did the cloaked figure shift their attention to Ethan:
"And who might you be, daring to speak to me in such a manner? Do you know who I am? Hand over the woman beside you."
Ethan spoke with disdain:
"And you think you are something?"
"You won't hand her over? Well then, I'll take her myself." As the cloaked person finished speaking, they hurled an energy ball straight towards them.
The energy ball, black and laced with streaming arcs of electricity, revealed the assailant to be an Electro Magus.
Ethan's eyes gleamed, and with a cold laugh he said, "Using thunder against me? You must be kidding. You've just met your match."
With a cold smirk playing at the corner of his lips, Ethan raised his right hand, substituting it for a wand.
Instantaneously, the mountain peak was shrouded in a black mist, with lightning rolling across the sky.
He loudly chanted a spell, and the power of thunder surged out from his makeshift wand, forming a colossal pillar of thunder, hurtling straight towards the cloaked assailant.
The pillar of thunder shattered the energy ball in an instant, then, with the speed of a thunderclap, charged at the cloaked figure.
The cloaked person's face grew stern as they shouted angrily, "Arrogance!"
They pulled a silver wand from their sleeve and swung it with no less might.
A sanctified glow radiated from their being, enveloping the dark pillar of thunder.
In just an instant, the cloaked figure had shifted their mode of attack.
Ethan internally assessed, "This cloaked figure is extraordinary, rich in combat experience. Probably a veteran who has retreated from the battlefield."
The cloaked person closed their eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and then rapidly chanted a spell.
Suddenly, a powerful surge of thunder burst forth from the white-robed magus, flying straight towards Ethan.
The two thunder strikes collided mid-air, creating a deafening roar.
The powerful energy fluctuations ravaged the battlefield, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.
Filled with surprise, the cloaked figure shrugged their shoulders and spoke with a tone rich in interest, "Not bad, not bad at all. I didn't expect that within the Empire there would be another Electro Magus. Quite intriguing."
As their words fell, the cloaked figure attacked once again.
They wielded their wand in mid-air, and tiny bolts of thunder flew towards Ethan like throwing knives.
Ethan squinted slightly, thinking to himself, "This person has quite the mastery over thunder."
However, this posed no threat to Ethan. In fact, it had sparked a playful interest in him.
He decided to have a proper showdown with the cloaked figure, using nothing but the power of thunder.
Dark energy rolled around Ethan as he swiftly cast a spell, summoning a dark shield in front of him that repelled the incoming lightning.
Immediately following, Ethan went on the offensive again.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes as countless bolts of thunder erupted from his sides, creating a sky-filled thunderstorm that surged towards the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure's brows furrowed slightly, but they stood their ground, once again waving their silver wand.
This time, they lifted their wand high, drawing a magnificent arc in the air.
Within the arc, countless thunders danced, forming a mysterious barrier of thunder.
Ethan's thunderous assault came, only to be blocked by the leaping thunder, unable to advance any further.
The cloaked figure, watching the sky filled with a thunderstorm, shouted loudly, "Who exactly are you? How come I have never seen you in the Empire before?"
Ethan did not respond but instead continued his onslaught.
The battle entered an intense phase, with the two figures weaving through the valley, unleashing various powerful Electro Magics.
Thunder split the sky, bathing the area in dazzling light.
Their figures intertwined amidst the lightning, at times like wraiths, at other times like deities.
While Ethan and the cloaked figure were enjoying their fierce battle, the forest beneath them was suffering the consequences!
