Chapter 814: A Change Of Plans
"That's everything we gathered from our mission yesterday," Nicole said.
"So, this means that although Godfrey is the head of the Blood Fangs, he doesn't really care about them," Ethan frowned.
"Right," Conall commented. "It's more like the organization built themselves around Godfrey for protection and mutual cooperation. They supply him with tributes like treasures, gold, and women, and in turn, he repays them with a few droplets of his blood to enhance their strength."
"However, the members of the Blood Fangs are not aware that the moment they absorb his blood willingly, their fate has already been sealed," Nicole added. "He can kill them without mercy if they are no longer useful.
"Even then, the members of the Blood Fangs willingly took this risk in exchange for power. Godfrey is an easygoing leader, and he doesn't really care about their actions as long as they don't directly harm his interest."
Ethan nodded in understanding before glancing at the faces of the people who had accompanied him on his journey.
"Originally, we came here to defeat Godfrey and make sure that he will no longer threaten us or the academy," Ethan stated. "But something came up, so there will be a change of plans. I intend to formally challenge Godfrey to a duel."
"You will fight him one-on-one?" Lyall frowned. "Isn't the original plan to team up against him because he is a Demigod?"
"That part of the plan doesn't change," Ethan replied. "It will be a Group Battle of five people. Godfrey can choose four more people to fight alongside him in this group battle."
"Now you're talking!" Lyall grinned fearlessly. "Don't worry, I'll beat the small fries as fast as I can before we team up to beat that Vampire Lord."
Ethan nodded. "However, we need to make him sign a binding contract made of magic. I will put two conditions in it-the first condition is that he will not do anything to harm Ethan Gremory, his family, friends, and acquaintances using direct or indirect means.
"The second condition is that he will guide me to World's End, the place where the Progenitor of Magic resides."
Everyone at the dining table looked at Ethan in surprise because this was the first time that they had heard this information.

"At World's End?" Nicole narrowed her eyes. "You want to meet the Progenitor of Magic? Why? Does that mean that you won't return to the academy when we win the battle against Godfrey?"
"You make it sound like winning against the Demigod is already a done deal, Miss Nicole," Merric commented. "It will not be that easy."
"Of course, it will not be easy," Lyall said. "But we have no intention of losing either, so it's more or less a done deal. Or are you perhaps saying that we're going to lose?"
"That's not what I meant, Miss Lyall," Merric shook his head.
"I understand." Lyall nodded. "But this is a battle that we can't lose, so we have to win no matter what."
Ethan nodded in agreement because this was indeed a battle that they couldn't lose. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
The young man then shifted his gaze to Nicole and answered her question.
"After beating Godfrey, I will travel with Hecate and Godfrey towards World's End," Ethan said. "The rest of you can return to the Shire Continent. I will inform Professor Rinehart later about this sudden change in plans."
"Can you tell us what made you want to meet the Progenitor of Magic?" Nicole inquired. "I don't know much about Progenitors, but aren't they dangerous?"
"They are," Ethan answered. "That's why I can't risk taking you guys with me. So after we defeat Godfrey, all of you should return to the Shire Continent."
"Then why do you want to meet her?"
"I intend to bargain with her. She has something I need."
Nicole held Ethan's gaze, and the young man stared back at her.
"It's that important?" Nicole asked.
"It's very important to me," Ethan replied.
Hecate, who was listening to the conversation, was looking at her hands that were resting on her lap.
Although it was dangerous, Ethan didn't hesitate to tell her that he would go and meet the Progenitor of Magic in order to reclaim her soul.
She felt very touched, hearing how firm the young man was in his decision to brave the dangers for her sake.
Seeing Ethan's determined gaze, Nicole sighed before pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Fine, but I'm going with you," Nicole said. "I've never seen a Progenitor in my lifetime, and this might be the only chance I get to see one. If we survive, I'm sure that this will be a story worth bragging about."
"Right!" Lyall nodded. "I'm sure Father will feel envious knowing that I've met a Progenitor before him."
"... Wait, we're going with them?" Conall looked at his sister in disbelief. "Are you serious?" "I'm going with them," Lyall replied as if this was the most natural thing to do. "You can go back to the Shire Continent alone."
Conall blinked once then twice before shaking his head. There was no way he would leave Lyall to go to World's End on her own.
"I didn't sign up for this, but I guess I have no choice but to see it through till the end." Conall crossed his arms over his chest. "What makes you think that I will let you travel alone? If I return by myself, even if I don't mention where you're going, Father will definitely give me a good nagging for leaving you behind."
Lyall smiled mischievously because she could already imagine her father nagging her brother for coming home without her.
"So, when will we have this duel with Godfrey?" Nicole took a sip of the coffee in her cup. "The sooner the better, right?"
"We will fight him at noon," Ethan replied. "I have already written the challenge as well as the conditions of the duel. Merric has passed the letter to one of Godfrey's many subordinates who have been keeping watch over our ship. I'm sure we will get a reply soon."
"Are you sure he's going to agree to that challenge?" Conall asked.
"I'm not sure," Ethan answered. "But, I told him that we would be leaving today."
Lyall chuckled because she understood what Ethan was planning.
"So you're using yourself as bait," Lyall stated. "You have given him two conditions, so it's only normal that he asks for two conditions as well. If he wins the duel, I'm sure one of his demands is for you to stay and become his woman. I can see that particular bait working very
well."
"Well, on the off chance that he doesn't agree, what should we do?" Nicole inquired.
"If he doesn't agree to the duel, then we go with Plan B," Ethan answered.
"What is Plan B?" Conall arched an eyebrow.
Ethan smiled faintly. "The original plan, of course."
Everyone smiled at the same time because the original plan was simple.
Beat the crap out of Godfrey, and make sure that he wouldn't be able to harm an innocent
being ever again.
Although this plan wouldn't be easy to execute since they might have to fight Godfrey inside the City, he believed that this would not come to pass.
Ethan might have only spent an incredibly short time with Godfrey, but he understood that the Vampire Lord was someone who was very open and honest with his desires.
