Chapter 751: The Power Of The Legacy Of Rivers And Lakes [Part 1]



After the dream scene ended, Ethan slowly opened his eyes and saw Lilian sleeping in his embrace.

His mind was still hazy, but he was certain that he was with Nicole just a while ago.

Memories of their lovemaking flooded his consciousness, making the young man's body heat up after he remembered what transpired between them.

He didn't know what had come over him back then. But at that time, he felt that doing intimate things with Nicole was a natural thing to do.

Even now, he still felt that way, making him wonder if she had used a charm spell on him.

Since his Legacies weren't working right now, there was a possibility that he might have been affected by a mind-controlling spell.

That spell might have made him strongly attracted to her to the point of losing his common sense whenever he was with her.

"The real Nicole would not eat me up like that...' Ethan thought. 'Or would she?'

Just the thought of helping her remove the coldness from her body again made him subconsciously shudder.

In the past, he didn't really feel that their time together was a problem. After all, she was his best friend. He respected that and never put too much thought into their skinship.

But now, he was having second thoughts, especially after experiencing something like that.

'I don't think I will be able to look her straight in the eye when I return to the academy,' Ethan thought.

After tasting the forbidden fruit, he knew that it would be hard for him to remain calm during their "bedwarming" sessions.

While he was thinking along these lines, Lilian stirred in his embrace and slowly opened her

eyes.

Their gazes met, and they stared at each other for nearly half a minute before she pressed her hand on his chest and lightly pushed him away.

Ethan, who had seen Lilian's memories, couldn't help but sympathize with her.

Still, getting pushed away by someone who looked like his lover made him feel a slight pain in the chest.

'I miss Lilian,' Ethan thought as he looked at his surroundings.

It was only then that he realized he was completely naked, forcing him to take out a set of clothes from his storage ring and put them on in a hurry.

After regaining his composure, he finally asked the question that was nagging inside his head.

"Where am I?" Ethan asked. "And why am I here?"

"Before I answer that question, let me first tell you everything that happened before you came here," Lilian replied. "You have been marked by the Witch of the East. If you still don't know who she is, she's that lady who goes by the name Nicole."

"She's the Witch of the East?" Ethan asked in disbelief. "But I met her in the church in the North."

"Just because she is called the Witch of the East doesn't mean that she only stays in her cottage in the forest located in the East of the town," Lilian replied calmly. "She often goes to the church, which belonged to her late father. Technically, the church is also part of her territory."

"Now it makes sense," Ethan replied. "It seems I can't think properly when I'm with her." "Unfortunately, you are still under her charm," Lilian stated. "If Chloe hadn't come to your rescue, and Nicole had succeeded in painting you, then you would have become her slave for life.

"Mindless following her orders, allowing her to freely take your blood, seed, and vitality, strengthening her powers even more. You got lucky this time."

The young man broke into a cold sweat after hearing the Lady of the Lake's explanation.

"I'm still under her charm?" Ethan asked.

"Yes," Lilian replied. "If she comes within your certain range, she may be able to manipulate your thoughts. This will also make you think that we are your enemies. Also, I am sorry to say this, but she has also taken something very important to you."

The young lady raised her hand and pointed at her ring finger, making Ethan look at his own hand.

When he realized that he was no longer wearing his wedding ring, a surge of anger rose from his chest because that ring was truly precious to him.

It was a symbol of his promise to his lovers that he would spend the rest of his life with them.

"Calm down." Lilian, who saw the anger flash in Ethan's eyes, walked toward him and placed her hand on his chest, channeling her power to forcefully calm him down.

The rage that Ethan felt suddenly disappeared, making him feel as if cold water had been poured over his heart.

"If you meet her right now, you will only revert to your former state and move according to her will,” Lilian stated. "If she gets her hands on you, she will be more cautious, and make sure to finish her painting of you quickly to prevent any future troubles.

"Our priority right now is to remove the Charm Spell that she had cast on you when she bit your neck and drank your blood."

Ethan sighed and nodded in understanding. "What should I do?"

"You need to cleanse yourself starting now," Lilian replied. "You will start fasting, only drinking the water from the spring of life. Three to four days should be enough for your body to get rid of her influence."

"So I'll just stay here until then?" Ethan asked. "What will we do if she comes to your

Domain?"

"She can do that, but she won't," Lilian answered in an icy tone. "She understands that fighting me in my Domain is an extremely difficult challenge. Also, now that Fortis Dud has returned, she won't risk herself getting seriously injured or weakened."

"Fortis Dud has returned?" Ethan, who had a lot of things to say to the Founder of the

Academy, wanted to meet with the man right now.

But Lilian's icy gaze made him reconsider this idea.

"During the three days that you are undergoing purification, you will learn something else," Lilian said with a determined look on her face.

"Learn what?" Ethan inquired.

"My Legacy," Lilian answered. "The Legacy of the Rivers and Lakes."

Ethan wanted to say that he had already gained a portion of the power of the Legacy of the Rivers and Lakes after becoming one with his lover Lilian, but he also understood that since this power didn't really belong to him, he didn't know the full extent of what it could do.

"How can I learn your legacy?" Ethan inquired.

"Drink this first," Lilian summoned a crystal goblet in her hand. "Let's talk after you drink

it."

Ethan nodded and took a drink from the goblet that was only half-filled with water.

The moment the water entered his lips, a refreshing feeling spread through his entire body, making him feel revitalized.

It was as if he drank a high-quality rejuvenation potion, except it was more delicious and more effective.

After returning the goblet to Lilian, the Lady of the Lake asked him to sit cross-legged on the

ground.

"To better understand what this power can do, you must wield it on your own," Lilian said. "I will now merge with your body and teach you how it's done."

The Lady of the Lake transformed into a jewel that resembled a raindrop.

It was half the size of Ethan's thumb, and it hovered in front of him for a few seconds before it passed through his forehead.

Suddenly, an influx of information surged into his head, causing him to feel overwhelmed, while also allowing him to better understand the true powers that those who could wield the Legacy of Rivers and Lakes were capable of.
