Chapter 901: You Are The Only Person I Trust In This World
“How are you feeling?” Ethan asked as he sat on the bed. “Does it hurt anywhere?”
“I feel… strange,” Nicole replied. “I feel like I’m stripped bare of everything weighing me down, completely naked to the world.”
“Well, you are naked.”
“Is this the part where I should be laughing?”
Ethan smiled hearing Nicole play along with his attempt to lighten up the mood. The two of them had known each other for a long time, so things like this were just second nature to them.
“Ethan, I’ve been thinking since yesterday,” Nicole said. “Truth be told, I’m feeling a little anxious about my Origin Crystal being stored somewhere. What if there was an accident? Or what if something were to happen that would make others discover it? I can’t help but feel very anxious and insecure.”
“You don’t have to feel that way,” Ethan replied. “I will store it inside this ring on my finger. It is the safest place in the world.”
Nicole smiled faintly before looking straight into Ethan’s eyes.
“While I do believe that you are speaking the truth, I still feel that your ring isn’t the safest place to hide my Origin Crystal,” Nicole stated. “I believe that the safest place where you can hide it is here.”
The young lady raised her hand, and poked at Ethan’s chest, particularly on the location of his heart.
“This is the safest place to hide my Origin Crystal,” Nicole declared. “There’s no safer place than this.”
“Do you understand what you’re saying?” Ethan asked solemnly. “Are you asking me to absorb your Origin Crystal?”
“Yes,” Nicole answered. “I have thought about it really carefully, and I believe that it will serve a better purpose if it becomes your temporary Magic Core. Since you can’t produce your own magic unless you absorb the Magic of others through a kiss, having my Origin Crystal inside your Magic Core would kill two birds with one stone.
“Not only will my Origin Core be safe, but you will also be able to use magic anytime, anywhere-just like how it was when you had Samantha’s.”
Ethan sighed. “Nicole, do you know how I returned Samantha’s Magic?”
“I can guess what method you used,” Nicole replied. “But it doesn’t matter. I don’t think I will be able to master my Legacy in a short period of time.
“I’m sure that if you experiment a bit, you will find other ways how to return my Origin Crystal to me without having to do what you did to Samantha.”
Ethan frowned, but he couldn’t refute Nicole’s words.
Right now, he only knew one method because he hadn’t tried any other methods of returning the Origin Crystals of people.
If possible, he didn’t want to follow the Twilight Witch’s methods and harvest Origin Crystals from Witches to make it his own power.
His Other Half even told him that if Witches or any magical creatures were to attack him, he might want to consider extracting their magic crystals from their bodies to use them as his
own.
This proposal made Ethan feel as if a cold bucket of water was poured on top of his head. It was a horrifying yet tempting proposal. However, he also knew that if he really did cross that line, he might not be able to turn back, becoming a second Witch of the Twilight.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
If Ethan chose this method, he wouldn’t have to worry about Progenitors discovering him, allowing him to gain strength through the powers of his enemies.
This wasn’t the first time he took the power of others. Dainsleif had taken the Legacy of Gravity from one of Nicole’s rivals in the Heir Wars.
In fact, he believed that letting the Ancient Wendigo absorb the power of his enemies would benefit him greatly.
However, it would be different if the one taking that power was Ethan.
“Don’t mention this again in the future.”
Those were the words that Ethan said to his Other Half, making the latter nod his head to respect the young man’s decision.
Perhaps, the only reason why Ethan didn’t accept the proposal was because he didn’t want his lovers to be disappointed and become fearful of him.
He would rather resort to kissing them and gain power the right way than deprive others of their own power, despite them being his enemies.
He didn’t mind if Dainsleif did it, but it was out of the question for him to personally do the same thing.
“Ethan,” Nicole said, breaking the young man from his daze. “Take my Origin Crystal, and use it well.”
“But if I take your Origin Crystal, I will see all your memories,” Ethan answered. “Even your deepest, darkest secrets will be laid bare for me to see. Are you really sure you want someone to know about you in that manner?”
“It’s fine,” Nicole replied. “My life isn’t an interesting one. So, even if you see my memories, I doubt that you will find it entertaining.”
The young lady then lowered her hand and placed it on top of Ethan’s right hand.
“I trust you,” Nicole said. “Perhaps, you are the only person I trust in this world.”
Seeing how determined she looked, Ethan lowered her head to look at her Origin Crystal, which was shining on her chest like a small star.
It was brimming with magical power. All he needed to do was pluck it from her body, and he would gain the power that he had always wanted.
“Nicole…”
“Ethan, either you take it on your own, or I take it myself and force it into your lips. The end result will still be the same. So, what do you say?”
“But, what if I don’t find any other methods aside from doing THAT to return it to you?” Ethan asked.
“Well, it’s not like I dislike you,” Nicole replied in a teasing tone. “If there was anyone whom
I wouldn’t mind doing it once, it would be none other than you. But, know this-just because
we did it, doesn’t mean that I will become your lover. I’m happy with our current relationship,
so keep that in mind.”
“You might regret this in the future, you know?” Ethan commented.
“The only regret I will have in this life are the choices that I didn’t make.” Nicole smiled. “So, please, keep my Origin Magic safe until I get strong enough to tame my Legacy.”
A minute of silence passed before Ethan nodded.
He unsummoned the Black Cauldron from the room before reaching out towards the Origin
Crystal on Nicole’s chest.
“Ready?” Ethan asked.
“Take it,” Nicole replied. “I won’t change my mind.”
Ethan no longer hesitated and took the Origin Crystal from Nicole’s body.
The young lady immediately felt weak as something very important to her had just been taken
away.
She gazed at Ethan for a few seconds before they lost their luster.
Nicole had fallen unconscious with her eyes open.
Ethan looked at his best friend before reaching out to close her eyes with his hand.
‘Don’t betray her trust, Ethan,’ Sebastian said.
‘I won’t,’ Ethan replied before placing Nicole’s Origin Crystal inside his mouth.
The moment it touched his tongue, something sweet washed over Ethan’s senses as Nicole’s Origin Crystal melted and went down the young man’s throat.
Suddenly, the world around Ethan changed completely, allowing him to see Nicole’s life flash
before his eyes.
He had experienced something similar when he had absorbed Samantha’s Origin Crystal, and now, he was seeing everything about his best friend that even she had already forgotten
about.
