Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 757: Ethan’s Gamble [Part 3]



Nicole lay limp in Ethan's arms, with her head resting on his chest.

Hear earlier confidence was gone, and was replaced by a helplessness she never thought that she would experience at this moment of her life.

But, even though she was feeling anxious, there was nothing she could do about it.

She was still connected with him, and even though neither of them was moving, she could still feel how hard and hot he was inside of her.

Earlier, she thought she had won and successfully conquered the young man and that he would forever be her loyal slave.

But the tables had turned, and Nicole was now the one at the young man's mercy.

She couldn't even move her body because she felt drained, not only of her magic power but also of her physical strength.

The Witch of the East had always been the one playing with the fate of people on the palm of her hand, yet things had now come to this, and she felt uncertain about her future.

Just as she was thinking about these things, Ethan wrapped his arms around her body and lightly patted her head.

"Tell me if you were given the choice of losing your legacy and living your life as an ordinary Witch, would you accept it?" Ethan asked.

His voice was calm as if genuinely wanting to know the young lady's answer to his question.

Nicole didn't answer right away.

Instead, she pressed her hand on Ethan's chest and tried to use it as support to raise her head so that she could look straight into his eyes.

"I never chose this power," Nicole replied. "It chose me."

She then slowly lowered her head as if she had already exhausted all of her strength just saying those words.

Ethan continued to pat her head as if telling her that everything was going to be fine, making Nicole's anxiety decrease a bit.

A few minutes later, she once again found her strength and said what was on her mind.

"This power I have eats away at my life with every passing day," Nicole said softly. "Because of this, I don't think I have long to live. If given a choice, I'd rather live as a normal Witch instead of one who possesses a power that is not compatible with me."

"Are you sure about that?" Ethan inquired. "If I tell you that I have the power to take your Legacy from you, will you agree to it?"

A helpless chuckle escaped the young lady's lips after she heard the young man's question.

"You're asking me whether I want to live or die?" Nicole asked back. "I think the answer is obvious. I want to live. There are still many things that I need to do. If you really have the power to take this damnable Legacy from me, then do it.

"I have suffered enough. Living every day... drinking the blood of others just to feel warm. My heart is already frozen. Perhaps in two to three years, it will shatter like ice, and I will finally be free of this suffering."

Ethan's hand, which was lightly patting Nicole's head, trembled and came to a complete stop. "Understood," Ethan replied. "I will save you."

The young man then gently moved his body to the side so that he could lay Nicole on the bed properly.

He looked at her pale yet beautiful face and knew that she was indeed suffering.

His gaze then wandered over her body, which was as white as cream.

He took this scenery, and a part of him wished to burn it in his memory. However, the young man knew that he shouldn't do such a thing.

But it was already too late.

Things had already been set in motion, and Ethan needed to keep his promise to save her.

Lowering his lips, he gave Nicole a soft and lingering kiss.

"I want to do it right this time," Ethan said as he caressed the side of her face. "And entirely at your word."

Nicole looked back at him in confusion, but soon, this confusion disappeared as Ethan used his hands and lips to pleasure her body.

When they made love with each other the first couple of times, he was under her influence and wasn't thinking properly.

But now, he was the one in control, and with it, he started to use the power that was given to him by birth.

As his hands and lips explored every nook of her body, glowing ancient runes started to appear on her skin for a brief moment before disappearing completely.

These symbols contained ancient magic power, and Nicole could feel her body tingling, making her body shudder from time to time.

"It's time," Ethan declared before he spread her legs and kissed her one more time.

The moment he slid inside of her, a gasp escaped Nicole's lips.

A tingling sensation moved from her head and all the way down her spine as if she had been electrocuted.

Suddenly, she felt the power of her Legacy stir inside of her chest.

But this time, she no longer felt pain.

Her heart, which had been frozen solid, started to thaw as Ethan used his body to warm her

up.

With every thrust, Nicole could feel her Legacy leaving her.

A tear streamed down the side of her face at this realization, feeling sad and happy at the

same time.

Sad, because she was about to lose something that had become an important part of her life. And happy, because it was also the start of a new beginning.

Yes.

This was a new chance at life, and this time, she would finally be able to live it to its fullest.

When a bit of her strength finally returned to her, she wrapped her arms around Ethan's neck and pulled him to her, kissing his lips in gratitude.

Ethan returned her kiss, and they kissed for nearly half a minute before he resumed the movement of his hips so that both of them could find release.

As she neared her limit, Nicole no longer bit her lip to stop her voice of pleasure from leaking

from her lips.

Soon, both of them found sweet release, their voices overlapping with each other.

When Ethan finally spent himself inside of her, Nicole's body trembled before she lost

consciousness.

On her chest, a crystal flower bloomed.

Within it, a white crystal that had the design of a snowflake slowly floated toward Ethan.

The young man reached out to hold it in his hand, and the moment he did, the information about the Legacy flowed inside his head.

Ethan blanked out for a brief moment due to the massive information overload that he

received.

By the time he regained his senses, he found himself in the act of swallowing the crystal

snowflake.

Everything happened so fast, and before he knew it, he had already taken the Legacy of Absolute Zero inside of his body.

He felt its power briefly before it disappeared completely.

Closing his eyes, Ethan knew that the reason why it disappeared was due to the fact that the

Legacy he acquired wasn't real.

Only one version of a Legacy could exist at a time.

Since the real Legacy of Absolute Zero existed outside of the world of the painting, there

couldn't be a copy of it anywhere.

Ethan then looked down at the unconscious lady under him and sighed.

He thought that he would feel addicted when it came to absorbing the Legacy of others, but

he only felt relief and sadness.

Relief because he knew that he would be able to help his best friend if the situation called for

it.

And sadness because once the Progenitors and their Champions sensed the power he possessed, his carefree days would finally be over.

Now that everything was finally over, Ethan remembered something very important that he

had forgotten earlier.

This realization also made him feel as if his cheeks were burning. He didn't think of it much earlier because he got carried away by his desire to help Nicole by taking away the Legacy that

was making her suffer.

Turning his head to the side, Ethan looked at the young lady. Her clothes were disheveled, and she was leaning on the wall of the room, panting for breath.

Her face was flushed, her breathing was ragged, and her hand glistened faintly in the

candlelight.

Clearly, Chloe had been there from the beginning and saw how Ethan made love with Nicole.

Instead of leaving the room, she watched it till the end and even pleasured herself while they

were having a go at it.

"Um, did you have fun?" Ethan asked in an awkward tone, which made Chloe look at him with

unfocused eyes.

Clearly, she was still basking in the afterglow of her solo play and was not in the right state of mind to answer his question.
