Chapter 995: Legacy Resonance [Part 1]
Seff laughed as he killed one monster after another.
This kind of chaotic battle was right up his alley.
He no longer needed to hold back, and he was able to kill to his heart's content.
However, despite his fast killing speed, the number of monsters seemed unending.
In the beginning, the Alliance and the Fomorians still had the upper hand.
But as more chunks of the sky fell from the heavens, more monsters started to pour in.
Flashes of light could be seen in the sky as Wizards, Witches, and the magical cannons of the Dwarves attacked their enemies with all they had.
As much as Seff wished to fight, he was also feeling worried that the Beastkin's casualties would rise at an unprecedented rate.
He had brought all the Elite Warriors of his race in this battle, and their loss would be a tragic one for their Clan.
Still, there was nothing he could do but kill one enemy after the other.
While Seff was having a killing spree on the ground, Ethan could already feel his exhaustion -catching up to him.
He was still exhausted from giving his life force to Nicole, so after several minutes had passed, he could no longer fight with the explosive energy he had earlier.
Perhaps, sensing his fatigue, Cedric hovered beside his rival, who seemed to be panting for breath.
"What's wrong?" Cedric asked.
He didn't believe that Ethan would be this tired after such a short time of fighting against the insects.
Although he had to admit that fighting them was hard, he was only sweating right now despite panting for breath like Ethan.
"I'm not at my peak at the moment," Ethan replied. "Things happened, and I'm now almost out of juice."
Cedric frowned before glancing at the opponents in front of them. However, since Ethan's life might be in danger if he were to be surrounded by the enemies, the young man decided to escort him back to the main army of the Alliance.
Ethan was more than happy to accept Cedric's help, and the two killed their way back to the camp.
However, when they saw a Flying Ship in the distance that was being besieged by many insects, they noticed that some familiar faces were fighting there.
Ethan and Cedric glanced at each other before flying with their fastest speed to reach the Flying Ship, which was now surrounded by dozens of large flying insects.
Joanne's face was pale and her arm was bleeding.
However, she still gripped her wand firmly with her right hand and unleashed several Dark Spears at the insects that had descended on the deck of the Flying Ship, and fought with the Catkins.
Hecate was also on the deck, assisting Merric and the others.
Lilian's and Emma's backs were practically glued behind each other, as they spun around while hurtling spells at any monsters that were in their sights.
Suddenly, an arrow made of light and a flaming spear impaled the Giant Insects that had tried to approach the two girls, making their eyes widen in shock.
When Ethan and Cedric appeared in front of them, their morale rose and their fighting spirit was restored.
The two young men made short work of the dozens of insects that were endangering their people.
After that, both of them landed on the deck of the ship.
"Merric, pull back a bit," Ethan ordered. "Everyone, drink some healing potions and stay vigilant."
After giving his order, the young man hurriedly poured some healing potion over Joanne's bleeding arm before letting her drink the rest.
The rest did the same, and soon, they felt a lot better.
Ethan frowned a bit. Although he did feel a lot better, he was still feeling very exhausted.
"The side effects of sharing my life force are very noticeable,' Ethan thought.
Still, he had no regrets. Even if time was rewound to when he was standing beside Nicole's altar, he would still have done the same thing.
Perhaps, noticing his frown, his lovers came to ask if something was wrong with him.
Ethan simply said that he was tired in order to not worry everyone.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing screech reverberated in the surroundings, almost stunning everyone who was fighting in the skies.
Everyone's gaze shifted to the location where they heard the screech, only to see somethingn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
golden and round descend from the abyss in the sky.
It didn't fall down on the ground but hovered mid-air.
A moment later, the golden ball moved, transforming into a Golden Praying Mantis that had four arms, equipped with golden blades that glinted off death.
Even from a distance, Ethan could tell that it was at least four to five meters tall.
A glance was enough to tell him that this was probably the leader of these insects.
Just as everyone was wondering what would happen next, a blur moved in the corner of Ethan's vision.
Seff, who was on the ground, immediately took off to the skies, stepping on air. He headed in the direction of the Golden Beetle, his gaze filled with killing intent.
Clearly, the Beast King took the initiative to attack the leader of the insects, intending to kill
it as soon as possible.
However, just as he was about to cross the gap between them, the insect moved and reappeared instantly in front of Seff with its blades poised to strike.
Seff, who was caught completely by surprise, was only able to cross his arms over his chest as the golden blade descended on him.
A second later, the Beast King was sent hurtling to the ground like a volleyball that had just been spiked by a professional player.
A loud splash erupted from the surface of the water as Seff crashed at great speeds. This time, someone took over and charged at the Golden Praying Mantis, and it was none other than King Arawn, who had also deemed that the golden monster was the greatest threat
on the battlefield.
The sound of two weapons clashing against each other spread on the battlefield as the Praying Mantis' Golden Blades hit King Arawn's sword.
The two were evenly matched, and they exchanged several blows in the sky.
But just as everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, something unexpected
happened.
A dozen more Golden Balls descended from the sky, and they, too, transformed into Golden Praying Mantis, which made everyone's faces turn grim.
One was already enough to repel the Beast King, who was considered a powerhouse of the Shire Continent.
But twelve more monsters appeared, whose strength might be on par with the first monster
that appeared.
Because of this, Professor Barret gave the order for his students to return to the Main Fleet,
while he took off to the skies and headed to one of the Golden Praying Mantis near him.
The Fomorian Chieftains also took the initiative to face one of these monsters in a one-on-
one battle.
Godfrey clicked his tongue, but he also followed the rest.
George, who was protecting the Medical Area, frowned.
He also wanted to go, but the safety of his lover and the injured people weighed on his mind.
In the end, he decided to stay and protect them.
Cedric didn't hesitate to fly to the one closest to them.
Although he believed that he wasn't as strong as the Beast King, he was confident in his speed
and the power of his Legacy.
Even if he couldn't win, he would surely prevent the enemy from joining the others, which would make things difficult for everyone.
Ethan was about to go as well, but Sebastian and his Other Half told him something that made
him stop whatever he was planning to do.
'Ethan, the current you will be unable to defeat one of those Golden Praying Mantises,' Sebastian said. 'But there is a way. There is a power that you still haven't tried using despite
having access to it.'
'Power? What kind of power?' Ethan asked.
"The power that you, and Lilian share,' Ethan's Other Half replied. 'Ethan, it's about time you
experience the special ability that two compatible Legacies can unleash. And that is none
other than...
'A Legacy Resonance.'
Ethan listened to the explanation of his two supporters, who told him what he needed to do.
After understanding everything, Ethan approached Lilian and held her hand.
"Ethan?" Lilian looked at her lover askance.
"Lend me your power, Lilian," Ethan said. "Activate your Legacy, and do not resist me."
While she was confused, she still nodded her head and activated the Legacy of the Rivers and
Lakes.
A ripple of power expanded outward from her body, causing her robe to flutter.
Ethan also activated the power of his Tidebringer Legacy, matching the output that Lilian was
giving out.
He then gently cupped her face and stared at her with affection.
"Let's do this together," Ethan said softly.
"Un." Lilian nodded.
The young man then lowered his lips and kissed his lover.
The Progenitors, who were keeping a close watch on Ethan, all frowned because they thought
that the young man was being too affectionate while they were in the middle of a battle. Only Ashmedai, who understood what was going on, smiled faintly.
The Incubus was looking forward to seeing just what kind of power Ethan and Lilian would
unleash together, which would certainly become an asset for the future problems that would
befall Midgard.
While the Champions of the Alliance and the Fomorians all rose up, planning to challenge the Golden Praying Mantises, two teenagers started to kiss each other.
A faint ripple expanded from their bodies, which slowly became stronger over time.
The sky that had been broken through by the invaders was now suddenly covered up by storm
clouds, blocking the sun and causing the surroundings to turn dark.
Time seemed to have come to a complete standstill as Ethan and Lilian kissed.
Soon, a single raindrop fell from the sky, followed by another.
They were like messengers of death that had come to answer the call of their Master and Mistress, who were about to unleash a power that had not been seen in the past hundreds of
years.
