Chapter 299 Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing [Part 2]
Conall’s punch was so strong that it pushed Ethan away, causing him to skid backward a few meters.
He had already tapped into the First Layer of his Legacy, so he didn’t receive any damage from the exchange.
Moreover, he now had a better understanding of Conall’s strength.
‘It seems like Sir Henry held back during our sparring match,’ Ethan thought.
As the strongest student of Brynhildr Academy, Henry was known as the Mage Slayer.
Ethan couldn’t help but compare the Head Prefect to Lily’s brother, whose powerful punch had managed to push him back despite having his body’s performance boosted with four stacks of Magna Amplifico.
Unfortunately, Conall didn’t give Ethan time to delve in this matter, and he bombarded the latter with swift and powerful attacks, pushing the young man back each time his fists collided with his Sea God’s Trident.
“Nice… he’s a good sandbag,” Lyall muttered. “At least he can take a good beating.”
This comment of hers made Lily glare in her direction. Lyall immediately covered her mouth after she had subconsciously spoken what was on her mind, earning her the ire of her little sister.
Conall, who was attacking Ethan nonstop, was quite surprised because the latter was barely holding on to his barrage.
He was actually just using half of his strength, for he was afraid that his blow might accidentally kill the Dud whom he was fighting against for the first time.
Seeing that Ethan was able to barely defend from his attacks, Conall gradually increased his speed and strength.
A moment later, he managed to hit the young man in the chest, sending the latter flying.
However, before he could follow up with another blow, a pair of Fairy Wings appeared on Ethan’s back, granting him the ability to fly upwards, dodging Conall’s roundhouse kick.
Lyall’s mouth hung open because she couldn’t believe her eyes. She then tugged her sister’s clothes to ask her a question.
“Is your boyfriend a Half-Fairy?” Lyall asked. “Why does he have wings?”
“He’s not,” Lily replied. “He’s just using Fae Magic.”
“But you said that he was a Dud.”
“… It’s complicated.”
Lily knew where Ethan’s Magic Power was coming from. However, the handsome young man asked her to keep this a secret.
Because of this, Lily only mentioned that Ethan was a Dud, which was technically correct.
Other than the times when he kissed a lady with magical powers, he was unable to absorb magic, which was the source of his power.
Also, she didn’t want her parents to think that Ethan was leeching off of her by using her magic as a way to gain powers.
“Magna Duplici!” Ethan said as his wand hovered around his body, creating four clones of himself.
In this battle, his wand was in autonomous mode, allowing Illumina to support Ethan by moving on her own.
They had worked together to perfect this battle style in the Lands of Alastor since Ethan usually fought with the Sea God’s Trident with both hands.
However, this method drained a lot of Ethan’s Magical Reserves because he had to constantly supply his wand with magical power in order to keep up with the battle.
Fortunately, he was prepared for this battle and had kissed dozens of Fairies in the Gardens of the Academy.
Simply put, he was prepared to duke it out with Lily’s older brother.
“Cheap tricks.” Conall snorted. “If you are going to use this skill, I advise you not to use it against Beastmen. You will only embarrass yourself.”
Conall then slashed forward, creating a Crimson Crescent Blade that flew towards one of the young men who were flying in the air.
Ethan dodged the attack, but as if reading his next move, another Crescent Blade had already been unleashed and was heading in his direction.
This forced Ethan to imbue his Trident with a torrent of water and to slash on the Crescent Blade, negating it completely.
The handsome young man thought that he would have the advantage in the air because Lily’s older brother couldn’t reach him.
However, he was not aware that Conall had also mastered the art of fighting against flying opponents.
After all, most of the opponents that he killed were not only Flying Monsters but rogue Wizards and Witches as well.
In short, he was very experienced in fighting against flying creatures.
Although his only ranged attack was his Crimson Crescent Blade, it was enough to deal with anything that could fly.
But Ethan didn’t take his attacks lying down.
Although Conall could find the real him amongst his clones, the handsome young man didn’t cancel his clones and made them spread out.
Grabbing the wand that was hovering around him, Ethan cast another spell.
“Lux Caeca!”
A blinding flash of light descended upon Conall, forcing the latter to cover his eye with his arm.
“Another petty trick,” Connal said in contempt. “I guess this is the only thing that you can do.”
But, as soon as he removed his arm from his eyes, he found countless purple fireballs descending in his direction.
“Faerie Ignis Impetum!” Ethan casted countless purple fireballs towards his opponent non-stop.
Conall hurriedly rolled to his right side to dodge the first barrage of fireballs that was aimed in his direction.
His keen senses that allowed him to detect magical power had informed him which fireballs were real and which were not, allowing him to dodge Ethan’s spell attacks.
“Aqua Anguis!” Ethan once again chanted, and dozens of Water Snakes erupted from the tip of his wand and descended upon Conall, who easily dodged it as well.
The young man then tried a different approach and cast the spell.
However, this time, only one snake attacked Conall, while the rest hit the Arena in random places.
“Is this desperation I see?” Conall sneered as he obliterated the Water Snake that flew to him with a Crescent Blade that continued its trajectory towards Ethan.
The young man dodged this attack and continued to attack Conall with the same strategy.
Lyall, who saw this, shook her head helplessly because she thought what Ethan was doing was a waste of time.
Even if the Water Snake were to hit her Brother’s body, it wouldn’t deal any damage to him due to his superhuman abilities.
However, Lily, who was watching the battle intently, suddenly realized what Ethan was doing.
Although her lover seemed to be just randomly attacking the Arena with the Water Snakes, she understood that Ethan was preparing the stage that would allow him to make full use of his abilities, which were heavily weakened when he was fighting on land.
