Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 483: The First Pact [Part 1]

Vincent couldn't help but scratch his head as he looked at his wife who gave Ethan a lap pillow and the young man who was telling them about everything that he had experienced since the last time he had met Vincent.

An amused smile appeared on Cliodhna's face when Ethan admitted the heartache he felt after distancing himself from Chloe.

He told them about his worries in regard to his lovers and the people who seemed to always get in the way of their relationship.

When he mentioned what happened to the Royal Palace of Eastshire, Vincent's and Clliodhna's faces turned solemn as they eagerly listened to his story of meeting the will of Claiomh Solais, whom others simply referred to as the Sword of Light.

After his story about the Royal Palace and what happened at the Ballroom Party, he finally told them about his battle against Professor Barret.

Both Vincent and his wife didn't disturb Ethan's storytelling and listened from beginning to end.

When he was finished, a sigh escaped Cliodhna's lips as he lightly patted Ethan's head.

"It must have been hard for you," Cliodhna said softly. "I now understand why your spirit felt so weak. That person is purposely trying to awaken your Origin Magic by pushing you to your limits."

"Well, his approach isn't wrong," Vincent commented. "In fact, this is actually the safest and least harmful way of trying to train your Origin Magic. If it were me… I would have forcefully tortured your body and soul, forcing you to dig deep within your heart and unlock the power within.

"Unfortunately, this method isn't safe, and there is a high chance that the person will die in the process. Only the Demon Lords, the Balors, and the Fomorii use these cruel methods. Of course, the Archangels do it too, but only in times of desperation."

Cliodhna nodded. "Your Professor's method would have worked for ordinary mortals, but you are a bit special, Ethan. You do not possess just one Origin Magic. You have three of them. Because of this, instead of one power emerging, the three powers canceled each other out, weakening your Astral Spirit. That is the blessing as well as the curse of one who is Thrice Blessed.

"However, I am certain that one of those three powers, which hold deep connections to your heart and soul, has brought you here to us so that we can heal your spirit.

"That is the only explanation I can think of as to why you appeared in one of the battlefields where Angels, Demons, Deities, Devils, Demigods, and other powerful beings that came from other dimensions, fight for their beliefs."

Ethan felt like he understood and didn't understand Cliodhna's explanation at the same time.

He understood that Professor Barret was drawing out his Origin Magic, but instead of succeeding, it failed because he didn't have one but three Origin Magic inside his body, which was something he never thought possible.

But since Cliodhna's words sounded firm and certain, he believed that she wasn't lying to him.

"Then, what should I do?" Ethan asked. "How can I awaken my Origin Magic?"

The two adults glanced at each other before nodding at the same time.

"I think I understand the second reason why you were brought here," Vincent smirked. "This world where we currently are has a very high amount of spiritual power, allowing beings from different dimensions to manifest themselves and fight in battle.

"This realm, where many worlds intersect, is the best place to have your three Origin Magic manifest, allowing you to better understand them. But, let me give you fair warning. I am certain that one of these Origin Magics you possess would appear to you like a purple or black mist.

"This guy is a bit grumpy, sadistic, arrogant, malicious, perverted, and cruel. If there is one good thing about him, it's that he likes women very much and cares for them deeply.

"He will try to entice you, seduce you, and promise you many things. But trust me on this one, Ethan… that guy should be the last person you form a pact with."

After saying those words, the extremely handsome man winced before an expression of pain appeared on his face.

"Vincent?" Cliodhna looked at her husband anxiously, but the latter only raised his hand and gave her a thumbs up.

"That grumpy fellow is now mad at me for exposing his kinks," Vincent said as he rubbed his forehead in an attempt to decrease the pain he was feeling. "I can't say anything more because the pain is not worth it. I'll probably suffer a migraine for three to four days after telling these things to you. Darling, please take over."

Cliodhna nodded and lightly patted Ethan's chest with her delicate hand.

"I don't know what your Third Origin Magic is, but I know the second one," Cliodhna stated. "He is our ancestor, and you know him as the Tide Bringer. Ethan, his bloodline is already running in your veins. However, it became dormant and seemed to have fallen into deep sleep after…"

The beautiful lady managed to stop herself in time and shut her lips tightly.

She almost said that the Tide Bringer's bloodline had gone into dormancy after her sister had destroyed Ethan's Magic Circuits, which allowed these bloodlines to flow freely inside his body, granting him unimaginable strength.

When Ethan gained the blood essence of the Tide Bringer, it was like a small spark that lit a drum filled with gasoline. His bloodline was now starting to awaken, giving him the power of the Tide Bringer.

But since his Magic Circuits were still not fully healed and still leaking his magic reserves, the power that his bloodline could give him was very limited.

Ethan knew that the beautiful lady was carefully finding the right words to tell him what he needed to know, so he waited patiently and didn't rush her.

After organizing her thoughts, Cliodhna smiled and continued her explanation.

"The Tide Bringer's Legacy isn't really a legacy but something that you were already born with. It is an integral part of your being, allowing you to surpass the limits of mortals. Unfortunately, this Origin Magic cannot help you right now until you are fully healed.

"It is very easy to distinguish it from your other Origin Magic because it is blue in color. With that said, there is only one last Origin Magic left. I don't know what kind of Origin Magic it is, but it is safe to say that you should choose that one first and make a pact with it."

"The Purple or Black Mist should be chosen as second or last, and the Tide Bringer's Power should become available to you the moment your Magic Circuits undergo a perfect recovery."

The beautiful woman then glanced at her husband, who firmly nodded his head.

"Ethan, we are now going to perform a ceremony, allowing these three Origin Magics to manifest." Cliodhna patted the boy's head as if assuring him that everything was going to be alright.

"Talk to them and get to know them better," Vincent commented. "Make a pact with one that would help you with your current level of strength."

Ethan nodded his head in understanding.

Vincent had already told him that he shouldn't choose the purple or black mist that would appear in front of him, while Cliodhna told her that the Tide Bringer's power would not fully manifest itself while his Magic Circuits were still not fully healed.

This left only one choice, and that was for him to better understand his Third Origin Magic that neither Vincent nor Cliodhna knew about.
