Chapter 250 I’m Not A Fragile Vase That Will Break So Easily
When Ethan regained his senses, he found himself inside what seemed to be a spacious cavern.
By his side was still Luna, and she was looking around their surroundings, just like him.
Several Wizards, wearing the uniforms of Nightfall Academy, had positioned themselves near a Purple Portal, which reminded Ethan of the Nexus that he and Lily had entered.
The only difference was that the Legacy Gate was purple, while the Nexus Gate was white.
According to the books he had read in the library, not all Legacy Gates had a purple portal.
Some of them had other colors of the rainbow, as well as unique colors such as Gold and even Black.
Black Legacy Gates were considered the most dangerous of all Legacy Gates because the chances of dying inside were very high.
As for the Gold Portal Legacy Gates, they were said to be the most terrific due to the treasures that could be found inside them.
But regardless of the color of the Legacy Gate, one fact remained the same.
Anyone who would dare challenge it had the opportunity to get a Legacy.
Just like how Ethan obtained the Tide Bringer's Legacy, when he entered the Nexus with Lily, other people could also obtain a Legacy. Of course Luck also played a role in it.
As to what kind of Legacy it would be, no one really knew. The results were completely random, and it was up to luck if it perfectly matched the person who was able to obtain it.
“Please form five lines,” one of the Staff of Nightfall Academy stated. “We will now distribute your Escape Runes. If you are to face any danger that you are unable to escape, just break the Runes, and it will send you directly to the exit. These Runes have already been synchronized with the weave of magic inside the Legacy Domain, so it is perfectly fine to use them.”
After hearing the Staff’s words, everyone lined up to receive their Escape Runes. This was a life saving artifact, and they would be foolish to not get one before they start their expedition.
When it was over, the Staff then asked everyone to follow them deeper into the underground den, where the Legacy Gate was currently located.
“You guys sure got lucky,” one of the Headmasters commented as he followed the Staff of Nightfall Academy. “For your academy to be able to find a Legacy Gate this deep under the earth is a worthwhile achievement.”
The Staff didn’t reply and simply walked in front of everyone.
It was a complete secret how they were able to find the Legacy Gate, and they had no intention of sharing this information with anyone.
Seeing that he wouldn’t be able to get any information from the Staff, the Headmaster only smiled and no longer pried.
A few minutes later, the group arrived in another spacious cavern. However, this time, they found themselves staring at an underground lake.
In the center of it was a purple portal that was five meters tall, illuminating its surroundings with a faint light.
“You can now enter the Portal at your leisure,” the Staff of Nightfall Academy said. “I hope that you gain something good from this experience.”
As soon as permission was given, the students of the different academies didn’t waste any time and got into their flying broomsticks to fly into the portal.
Cedric and Lilian gave Ethan and Luna one last glance before they, too, entered the portal that would lead them to the Legacy Domain.
“Remember this,” Professor Barret said in a serious tone. “All of you must return alive. If you ever find yourselves in a situation where your life is in danger, don’t hesitate to use the Escape Rune. All of you are still young, and you will still have many opportunities in the future.
“But those opportunities will not matter once you’re dead. So choose to live and return with me to the academy alive. Do I make myself clear?”
“““Yes, Professor!”””
Professor Barret nodded. “Go, and may Fortune smile upon all of you.”
Rowan gave his sister a glance before flying towards the portal. Henry and the others followed suit, leaving only Ethan, Luna, and Emma behind.
“Let’s go,” Ethan said softly as he picked up Luna in a princess carry before walking towards the lake.
Emma saw this scene but didn't react, simply summoning her broom and trailing behind Ethan.
As his Promised One, she would only enter the Portal after her Master had entered it first.
The handsome young man wasn’t in a hurry to enter the portal right away since he knew that he was likely to be separated from Luna.
Because of this, he casually walked on the surface of the water, making the older people who were left behind look at him with interest.
When Ethan was only two steps away from the portal, he looked at Luna with a worried look on his face.
“Don’t worry,” Luna said as she cupped Ethan’s face. “I’m not a fragile vase that will break so easily.”
Perhaps not wanting to see Ethan look at her with worry, Luna took the initiative to kiss his lips, making the older people who were watching them smile.
“Ah, youth,” one of the Professors said.
“What a lucky brat,” another Professor commented. “That girl is a beauty.”
The other Professors and Headmaster didn’t make any comments and simply waited for Ethan to enter the portal.
“Stay safe,” Ethan said softly.
“You, too,” Luna smiled.
After saying their final goodbyes, Ethan walked inside the portal, still carrying Luna in his arms.
He hoped beyond hope that when he opened his eyes on the other side, the angelic beauty would still be in his arms.
Emma followed behind Ethan. But, before she entered the portal, the emblem on her chest glowed faintly, which was hidden from the eyes of the people who were watching them from behind.
—————————
Somewhere inside the Legacy Domain…
Luna found herself standing in what seemed to be a forest.
The first thing she did was activate her Guardian’s Ring in order to check whether Ethan was within its range.
Unfortunately, the ring didn’t respond, which made the angelic beauty sigh in her heart.
Just as she was thinking about what to do next, she heard something move behind her, so she immediately took out her wand and took a fighting stance.
“Wait! Don’t shoot!” A familiar voice called out to her, and a few seconds later, Lilian emerged from the trees and smiled at the angelic beauty in front of her.
“I’m fortunate to meet someone I recognize right at the beginning,” Lilian said as she approached Luna.
She then glanced around expectantly, hoping to see the handsome young man with long blue hair.
Perhaps, reading her thoughts, Luna shook her head.
“He’s not here,” Luna stated.
“That’s quite unfortunate,” Lilian sighed in disappointment. “Well then, should we start looking for our companions?”
Luna nodded.
Just like the Guardian Ring on her hand that allowed her to sense Ethan’s location, Professor Barret had also given them special emblems that were pinned on their uniform.
This allowed them to sense if any of their schoolmates were within the vicinity.
To Luna's disappointment, she didn’t manage to sense any of her schoolmates, which made her sigh.
“I sensed someone from Nightfall Academy somewhere in the East,” Lilian said. “Do you want to come with me for the time being? It would be safer if we traveled together.”
“I will go with you,” Luna replied.
She also understood that traveling alone inside the forest was a risky move. At least, she was sure that Lilian would be her ally for now, since the latter wanted to win her approval to become Ethan’s fiance.
Thinking about this, she decided to accompany her until they left the forest and met up with one of her companions.
Truth be told, Luna was feeling anxious. She wanted to reunite with Ethan or any of her schoolmates as fast as possible because it would make her feel safer.
As if sensing her anxiety, a calm and dependable voice spoke inside of her head.
‘Don’t worry, Mistress,’ Lilith said. ‘I’m here. I will protect you.’
‘Thank you, Lilith,’ Luna replied. ‘I’m glad that you are with me.’
Luna had almost forgotten that Ethan had left a protector to stay by her side in order to keep her safe.
Now that she was reminded that Lilith was still with her, the worries in her heart decreased by a significant margin.
She then followed behind Lilian, who was currently focusing on the connection that she had sensed a while ago.
The Legacy Domain was said to be a very large place. As to how large it was, no one really knew.
The only thing that they knew for certain was that there were powerful entities within that world.
And one of them was the monster that the Nightfall Academy planned to capture at all costs.
