Episode 230. Showdown
“Ancient relics warehouse?”
“Ethan, the Ancient Relics Warehouse has a fancy name, but it doesn’t have any real items. They’re all old and practically useless.”
Rohai Felix quickly opened his mouth.
“First of all, you’re right. There are old objects in the ancient relics warehouse that have historical value. However, they are literally used to record history. They can’t be used directly.”
“I am satisfied with that ancient relic. I did not save Master Kai and Lord Lohai in hopes of receiving a reward.”
Duke Felix was speechless at those words. He didn’t do it for the reward, so he would rather receive it as a useless ancient relic.
The peacock crossed his arms as if he found it interesting.
“You are truly a rare sight. I was prepared to grant you whatever you asked for. But… … Your determined appearance actually embarrasses me.”
Rohai’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Ethan. Kai nodded with a sly smile, saying, “As expected.”
“Okay, I’ll open the ancient relics warehouse for you instead.”
The Duke readily accepted Ethan’s request.
“I want to continue to have a good relationship with you. This isn’t a reward, it’s a request.”
“If that’s what you say, I won’t decline.”
After Ethan and his two sons left.
Duke Felix immediately gave orders to his subordinates.
“Bring Hansen. Tell him to expect a great reward.”
* * *
“Are you sure you don’t mind ancient relics? I will make arrangements to allow you to take a few more from the treasure house.”
Ethan shook his head at Rohai’s suggestion. Rohai was impressed by his appearance and let out a word.
“I heard the story. It was Ethan’s help that helped my brother change.”
“I didn’t do anything big. I just mumbled a few words.”
“… … .”
Lohai sighed.
“I… … was a coward. I kept my mouth shut even though I knew my brother would have to sacrifice himself. I had many thoughts of my own, but… … I just thought about it and didn’t put any of it into action. That’s what Ethan did. I really appreciate you stepping up for my brother.”
Rohai Felix nodded.
“I promise to be the official successor to the Felix family. I will engrave this matter deep in my heart.”
“How about we try to work together without having to keep it in mind?”
‘If Rohai Felix comes out like this, there’s no need to hesitate.’
“I intend to put Whikus’ name on the list of the twelve constellations.”
“That story… I’d like to hear more about it.”
The families that make up the twelve constellations are extremely solid.
That’s why the ranking didn’t change much. It was because there was a lot of checks and balances between them.
In such circumstances, Duke Felix always dreamed of rising to the top ranks.
The dream had now passed from Duke Felix to Lohai Felix.
‘You must be quite worried.’
Ethan knows that Lohai Felix will use his talents to the fullest to place the Felix Dukedom in the top ranks of the Twelve Stars.
This means that within the twelve constellations, you will be in a position that no one can easily deal with.
‘Let’s get on there.’
The Wickus estate has already grown as big as it could.
Not only did he have influence, but he also had a lot of financial resources. Above all, he had formed a network of connections.
‘The connections that lead to the Black Star, Prochesht, and the Felix Duke family can help Wickus.’
Of course, it is not a size that can fit into the Twelve Constellations.
‘But that’s as it is now.’
“Marquis Drenne. He is located close to our Whicus.”
Currently, the Wickus Estate has been taken over by Count Yurahan, who is near Marquis Dren. In fact, it is safe to say that all the estates near Wickus Estate are under Wickus.
‘And the Marquis of Dren isn’t just a twelve-star.’
There were three Twelve Houses that played a leading role in the death of Archmage Hecate. The Margrave of Dren was one of those houses.
‘I can take revenge on Yerika, and I can take all the interests that Marquis Dren holds.’
But this was an extremely difficult task. The Twelve Stars were being attacked by a small, local noble family?
‘I can intervene even in the palace.’
So Ethan was definitely prepared.
‘If you can beat the Marquis of Dren and take his place, you can get close to the fame level needed to meet the saint.’
The higher the fame, the better. Ethan didn’t know exactly what fame level was needed to meet the saint, so he was only making rough calculations.
Of course, accumulating achievements and collecting likes was a bonus.
“You are the Marquis of Dren.”
Lohai bowed his head for a moment as if thinking deeply. Then he looked at Ethan and nodded.
“You already have plans? Let’s talk more tonight in my office.”
“Okay. See you then.”
* * *
Underground of Duke Felix’s Castle.
The duke’s castle had several rooms that were used as treasure stores.
‘Half of the treasure troves are filled with fake treasures. They must be preparing for any unexpected situations that may arise.’
One of the treasure vaults in this basement was the one that held the ancient relics. Ethan held the key to it.
“Yes, it has been confirmed!”
The gatekeeper at the underground entrance opened the way after verifying my identity.
The underground was very bright with glowing gems and torches. However, the further down you went, the more only glowing stones remained, creating an eerie atmosphere.
How deep did it go in?
The stairs ended and there was flat ground.
As I walked along the flat ground, I soon came to a path that split into three.
Ethan knew where the ancient relics warehouse was, so he headed down the middle path without hesitation.
“Here it is.”
The place they arrived was in front of a small iron gate. Ethan inserted the key into the gate.
Squeak-.
And the moment you try to open the door.
The vision was darkened.
‘what?’
Ethan frowned and tried to step back immediately, but his body was already falling somewhere.
Kuung-!
My vision, which had been darkened, slowly returned.
The place where it fell was a forest. The bright blue moon in the sky was dimly illuminating the dark forest.
In a sudden situation, Ethan first tried to calmly understand the situation.
‘There’s no change in my physical condition. At least it’s not like there’s any debuff magic.’
The moment I put the key in and grabbed the handle, something unfolded. And at the same time, I fell into this space.
‘If at that moment, an illusionary magic had been used, the immortal hero’s breath would have been activated. If that’s not the case, then what I’m seeing right now isn’t an illusion.’
First of all, it wasn’t a fantasy type of magic.
‘If it was teleportation, it would have taken time to cast the magic, so you would have been able to notice.’
There is no way Ethan didn’t notice the moment the magic was cast.
It’s neither illusion magic nor space travel magic.
‘It wasn’t visible to Horus either. That’s it.’
“Is it a unique space?”
In less than a second, Ethan came up with the answer.
A unique realm created by the caster using his own magic.
Ethan is now in a space created by some wizard.
‘I don’t know who suddenly used this magic.’
Ethan’s first thought was to run away.
‘Storm and clouds!’
-The wind and clouds are blocked by a unique force.
-Coordinates cannot be found.
‘The power of the wind and clouds does not reach it. It is definitely a unique space magic.’
This unique space is a type of territory declaration magic, and only a very small number of people can use this level of magic.
Then a voice was heard from somewhere.
“No way. I didn’t know this would happen.”
It was a low, thick voice. I could clearly hear the voice, but I couldn’t tell where it was coming from.
‘It’s the first time I’ve heard that voice. But there’s only one person who can cast unique spatial magic where the relic is.’
I never thought it would move this fast.
But Ethan had a relaxed expression on his face.
The caster can see everything in this unique space, so there must be someone hiding somewhere watching him.
“I didn’t know that the Apostles of the Dawn Society would welcome me like this.”
At Ethan’s words, a voice was heard again from beyond.
“What are you? I know you, Ethan Wickes. But you don’t know the company. You shouldn’t know.”
With those words, Ethan was able to clearly grasp the current situation. On the other hand, the apostle seemed to not understand the situation properly.
For the Dawn Society, Ethan Wickus was not a target of caution. The fact that Ethan mentioned the Dawn Society, let alone came to this treasure vault where the relics were, was unexpected.
‘You didn’t set a trap for me. You must have come to steal the relic. Did I just arrive at a good time?’
It is possible that he was surprised by Ethan’s sudden appearance and used his own spatial magic.
‘The timing was bad. But if I had come a little later, there would have been an empty warehouse waiting for me.’
It was a situation that was neither good nor bad, but the scales could not help but tip towards the bad side.
If, as Ethan predicted, it was the apostles who created this unique space.
‘The 9th Apostle. He’s a tough one to deal with.’
If it’s as old as I remember, then yes. But now Ethan has a much wider range of skills than back then.
‘It’s worth a try.’
“I need to hear a detailed explanation of this situation from you.”
At the same time, a strong shock was transmitted to Ethan’s abdomen.
Pfft-!
-Automatic defense!
-The mud wall was destroyed.
“… … .”
Ethan was very impressed.
“You, stop it? That’s strange. So strange. So different from what we expected! Are you really Ethan Wickers? Or are you another being pretending to be Ethan Wickers?”
Anger rose in the apostle’s voice.
“There’s no way we missed it! There’s no way we didn’t know!”
At the same time, another attack came.
It was an attack that I couldn’t even tell where it was coming from.
‘Long-range attack.’
-Moonlight Defense!
Following the earthen wall of the spirit king Thror, moonlight defense was cast.
9 Apostle Samir Wiki.
Samir, one of the 9 apostles, is a safety-first person who thinks of safety first. That’s why he doesn’t show himself unless there’s a certain situation.
‘My attack doesn’t reach.’
Pfft! Pfft!
Once again, a powerful force struck Ethan’s face.
‘The opponent’s attack reaches me.’
-Moonlight Defense!
This allows you to use both Tror’s Earth Wall and Moonlight Defense.
The only remaining defensive skills are the Universal Intuition and Moon Force armor.
But the problem wasn’t defense. The opponent could continue to attack, while the problem was that we couldn’t attack the opponent.
‘There is definitely a way to destroy it.’
“Mother Moon.”
As the apostle chanted the spell, Ethan was attacked again.
At the same time, Ethan also immediately flicked his hand away.
“Summons.”
The surrounding ground rose upward with a loud roar.
Kwaaaaang-!
Thror, the spirit lord of the earth, was summoned at Ethan’s call.
“Did you call-!”
“Troll, use all your might to create an earthquake.”
“Received.”
Tror raised both arms and slammed them down on the ground.
Kwarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-!
‘That long-range attack is a sacrificial attack. It’s a single attack that cannot be avoided with one sacrifice. You must not give them a chance to make a sacrifice.’
First of all, we had to use this earthquake to block the enemy’s attack.
‘We must find traces!’
Next came the traces.
Things that were previously invisible began to become visible through the Eye of Horus and the Dragon’s Wrath.
‘Damn, there’s no trace.’
But there was no trace.
Although moonlight tracking is a great tracking magic, tracking is impossible without a trace.
Then a good idea occurred to Ethan.
‘Then we just have to trace other traces!’
“Troll, stop the earthquake.”
“i get it.”
As soon as the earthquake stopped, an attack came towards the back of Ethan’s neck.
-Universal knowledge!
-Absorbs damage.
“Moonlight Chasing.”
Ethan used Moonlight Tracking on the attack that just came in.
Shaaaak-.
Then the moonlight began to stretch out in a straight line.
“also.”
Ethan grinned. It was a success.
“Troll!”
Once again, he used Trorr to cause an earthquake.
“You have no more strength, you can only last 3 seconds!”
“are you okay!”
Ethan slid forward, and lightning struck his entire body.
“Three seconds is enough.”

The 9th Apostle Samir Wiki was going through quite a confusing time.
It was all good until I entered the Felix family’s household to steal the holy relic.
I found the warehouse where the ancient relics were sleeping, but there were many magic spells on the door. As I was dispelling the spells one by one, someone approached me.
If a key figure from the Felix family had arrived, I planned to put him in his own space and use him to open the warehouse.
But the person who entered the unique space was completely unexpected.
Ethan Wickes.
“What the hell is this guy talking about?”
It was also unexpected that he suddenly entered the treasure vault in the basement of Duke Felix’s house. He mentioned the Dawn Society and instantly realized that he was an apostle.
Information began to come together one by one in the minds of the nine apostles.
“No way, that can’t be true.”
Impossible things kept coming together.
“For all the recent failures… … .”
As pieces of information were pieced together, the truth began to emerge.
“There was Ethan Wickes.”
Samir opened his eyes wide and quickly looked around.
Kkwaduk-!
Ethan appeared through the thick forest, breaking trees.
“This is ridiculous… this is absurd!”
“I hear that a lot.”
Ethan, who appeared through the forest, had lightning all over his body. Ethan, who was holding the Frost Sword and the Thunder Sword, swung his swords.
