Chapter 815: Vampires Are Not Very Good Swimmers, You Know?

“You plan to meet the Progenitor of Magic, Hecate?” Professor Rinehart looked at Ethan’s image on the crystal ball in front of him in shock after hearing the young man’s report.

“Yes, Professor,” Ethan replied. “I’m sorry for suddenly doing something very selfish.”

“Ethan, I’m sure you already know that Progenitors are beings who stand at the apex of the world,” Professor Rinehart stated. “And one of the most powerful of them all is the Progenitor of Magic, the being who introduced magic to the world. She will not be an easy opponent to fight.”

“I have no intention of fighting her, Professor,” Ethan said firmly. “I have fought the Avatar of a Progenitor once, and I didn’t stand a chance against it. I know full well how powerful a Progenitor is.”

The Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy sighed because he didn’t know if he was feeling worried or feeling envious of Ethan.

Worried because the young man was going to meet someone who stood at the apex of the world.

Envious because all the powerful Wizards and Witches would love to have the opportunity to meet the Progenitor of Magic, who had introduced the power of Magic to the world.

“Ethan, no matter what you do, please don’t antagonize her,” Professor Rinehart said. “I want all of you to return to the academy in one piece.”

“That’s the plan, Professor.” Ethan nodded. “I plan to return safely with the others.”

Professor Rinehart sighed, internally regretting that he didn’t ask his best friend, Professor Barret, to accompany Ethan on his travels.

If he had come with the young man, he would at least have some peace of mind, for he knew that the Professor would do his best to keep Ethan, Nicole, and Hecate safe.

“Report to me once your duel with Godfrey ends,” Professor Rinehart gave the young man a stern look. “Also, don’t lose to that Vampire Lord. Do you hear me? A student of my academy will not be defeated so easily.”

“Yes, Professor.” Ethan pressed his fist over his chest. “I will not lose. I promise.”

Professor Rinehart nodded before giving the young man some advice before cutting the connection.

Professor Barret, who was also in the room with the Headmaster, didn’t say anything from beginning to end.

He simply listened to the conversation and kept his thoughts inside his head.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What do you think?” Professor Rinehart asked. “Can you catch up with them using THAT method?”

“I think it will be too late even if I leave for Midgard right now,” Professor Barret replied. “By the time I get there, everything will have ended.”

“I should have asked you to accompany them.”

“I also wish you had. Now, I have missed the chance to meet the Progenitor of Magic.”

The two old men sighed at the same time.

If not for the fact that they were also busy in the academy in preparation for the threats in the future, they might have accompanied Ethan on his journey to Midgard.

***

Ethan carefully stored the crystal ball inside the Magic Pouch that Professor Rinehart had given him.

Since he was about to do something important and wouldn’t be returning to the academy in the short term, he needed to inform the Headmaster about it.

Just as he was about to look for Hecate, he heard a knock on his cabin door.

After opening it, the first person he saw was Nicole, who had a calm expression on her face. “Godfrey sent a letter,” Nicole said before handing the letter in his hands to the young man. Ethan didn’t hesitate to open it to check its contents.

There was only one line written on it and that was “I’ll be there,” which made Ethan breathe a sigh of relief.

He then shifted his gaze to Nicole and handed the letter to her as well.

After reading the contents of the letter, Nicole returned it to Ethan’s hand. “Should I tell the others?” Nicole asked.

“Please do,” Ethan replied. “I will meditate for a bit to clear my mind.”

“Okay.” Nicole nodded. “I’ll come back an hour before the agreed time.”

As soon as Nicole left the room, Ethan sat cross-legged on the floor and went inside his Sea of Consciousness, where Sebastian and his Other Half were waiting for him.

“Remember this, Ethan, only use your Domain if Godfrey uses his Domain against you,” Ethan’s Other Half stated.

“Which one should I use against him?” Ethan inquired out of curiosity.

“The Tidebringer’s Domain,” Sebastian commented. “It’s a well-known fact that Vampires are not very good swimmers, you know?”

“There is also a saying that they cannot cross over running water,” Ethan commented. “But in the Painting of Enlightenment, Godfrey flew over the sea.”

“Well, he’s a special kind of vampire,” Sebastian stated. “But he still can’t swim.”

“I don’t know about that,” Ethan rubbed his chin. “He looks like someone who could swim. Also, have you prepared the binding contract you mentioned to me earlier?”

“Yes,” Ethan’s Other Half replied. “I already have it.”

Ethan’s Other Half had communicated with Ashmedai a few hours ago and asked him how to make a contract that was strong enough to bind a Demigod.

Even if Ethan managed to win against Godfrey, if they were not able to make him honor the agreement, the win would be useless.

The young man then glanced at the contract and read its contents before nodding his head in satisfaction.

“Thank you,” Ethan said. “I just need to drop my blood here, right?”

“Yes,” Ethan’s Other Half replied. “As for Godfrey, a drop of his blood will also be enough to bind him to this contract.

“But remember this, Ethan, Godfrey might have the mindset that you guys have no chance of winning. It will be best to end the battle before he can use his trump cards. Make sure that Hecate will be able to land her blow as soon as possible and finish the battle before the Vampire Lord realizes what hit him.”

Ethan nodded. “Understood.”

After taking the contract, Ethan opened his eyes to reality.

‘We still have two hours,’ Ethan thought as he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. ‘I better use that time to craft potions.’

Ethan would be lying if he said that he wasn’t feeling anxious about his upcoming fight

against Godfrey.

This was the first time that he would be fighting against a real Demigod, and not the fake one inside the Painting of Enlightenment.

Knowing that Godfrey would be much stronger than he was in the painting, he decided to talk to Hecate later and ask her to initiate her strongest attack as soon as possible to cripple the Vampire Lord, who was currently smiling from ear to ear.

Godfrey was thinking of ways he could create an opportunity to have some private time with Ethel, so this challenge was the perfect opportunity to do that.

Although he was confused as to why the young lady stated those conditions in the letter, he believed that she was just worried that he was still planning to hunt down the hateful human, whom he had tried to look for in the past.

‘Well, I guess completing that story wasn’t in vain,’ Godfrey thought as he pulled on his robes

in preparation for his upcoming duel.

He was certain that before the day was over, he would be spending some quality time with the beautiful lady and making her squirm on top of his bed.
