Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 899: It’s You Guys Who Don’t Have The Proper Dress Code

After a good night's rest, Lilian finally regained her usual lively self as if all of her worries melted away like snow on a sunny day.

Thinking back, while she had valid reasons why she was worried about her parents rejecting Ethan's request to meet with them, there was no need to rush things right now.

Her parents already knew that she loved Ethan and that the young man loved her back.

If they were to try and separate them, Lilian would not take it lying down and fight for her love.

Since her brother supported her, Cedric would also ensure that her sister wouldn't be taken away without a fight.

Lastly, whenever she remembered Ethan's question of whether her father was more scary than his Grandfather, the answer was really simple.

Ethan's grandfather was certainly more terrifying.

If her father really knew what was good for their family, antagonizing Demon Lord Balthazar was the last thing that he would want to do.

While Lilian returned to her normal duties, Ethan went to look for Enzo to give him an order.

"Assign a few people to guard Lilian," Ethan ordered. "Make sure to pick your strongest fighters. Do I make myself clear?"

Enzo was surprised by his Master's order, but since an order was given, he bowed respectfully and gave the young man a satisfying answer.

"By your command, Young Master," Enzo replied. "Should we eliminate anyone who would dare to harm Lady Lilian?"

"No," Ethan replied. "Subjugate and interrogate them. If they refuse to answer, bring them to me."

"Master, do you want me to investigate Lady Lilian's background?" Enzo proposed.

Ethan shook his head. "No. There's no need to go that far. Just make sure to keep her safe."

"Understood."

"Thank you."

After that brief meeting with Enzo, the young man visited the Jaeger Manor to look for Lily, as well as to see if Chloe had returned from her travels.

Since he didn't want to enter the Jaeger Manor, he simply asked one of the acquaintances he knew to pass a message to his wife.

A few minutes later, Lily met Ethan at the small garden outside of the Jaeger Manor, then the two of them changed their location to talk about private matters.

"A letter from my sister arrived yesterday, telling me to ask you if you were thinking of her for the past few days because she would sneeze from time to time," Lily said in a mischievous tone. "Were you?"

"Lyall?" Ethan blinked in confusion. "No. I haven't thought about her until now when you mentioned her name."

Lily giggled because she could tell at a glance that her husband wasn't lying.

"Well, other guys must be thinking about her then," Lily said.

"Are they right in the head?" Ethan looked so visibly shaken that it made Lily pounce on him for making fun of her sister.

The young man was more than happy to play with his wife, which ended with the two of them cuddling with each other.

"Chloe is still not back," Lily said after a few minutes of intimacy with the young man. "Wherever she went, she sure is taking her sweet time. The Mission Hall will close in a few days."

"Yes. I'm a bit worried about her. But since Chessy and Koko are with her, I'm sure she's going to be fine," Ethan replied.

"So, what do you plan to do for the time being?"

"Come with me first. There is something that I need to show you."

Ethan didn't want to hide anything from Lily, so he decided to let her see Nicole's current condition.

The two of them had become rivals and good friends during the time that they were together, and they got along very well.

Lily knew that Ethan was giving her treatment for the coldness that permeated her body, but she hadn't seen Nicole as of late.

"Hi," Nicole said lazily. "Have you come here to look for someone to watch the two of you make up with each other?"

"Yes," Lily replied before sitting down on the bed to check Nicole's condition. "But you can join us if you want."

"Girl, I'm already lying naked here," Nicole stated. "It's you guys who don't have the proper dress code."

Lily smirked while observing the crystal that was on Nicole's chest.

It was half the size of her thumb and radiating a bit of magic power that even she could feel.

"Does it hurt?" Lily asked. "Also, can I touch it?"

"It doesn't hurt," Nicole replied. "But I don't know if you can touch it."

"You can touch it, but it will make Nicole feel uncomfortable because it is still connected to her," Ethan replied.

"Then, I won't touch," Lily commented. "But I have a question. What will you do with Nicole's Origin Crystal?"

"I will keep it in a safe place until she is able to master her Legacy," Ethan replied.

Nicole wanted to say something, but she decided that now was not the right time to do it.

"How long before her Origin Crystal matures?" Lily inquired.

Ethan didn't answer right away. Instead, he gave the crystal a closer look to give a rough estimate of when it would be finished.

"Nicole's magic power is very strong," Ethan explained. "Usually, it only takes three to four days for the Origin Crystal to mature. But looking at its current size, I think she will need two to four more days before her Magic power is completely extracted from her body."

"This cauldron is scary," Lily stated. "Are you sure you want to keep it?"

"Yes," Ethan replied. "I'll make sure to put it to good use. Also, its abilities can be used as a Trump Card in one-on-one battles. When the Fomorians attack, I can capture their leader and eliminate them inside the Twilight Domain."

"Still, I agree that this cauldron's ability is truly dangerous," Nicole commented. "If it were other people aside from you, Ethan, they might have done what the Twilight Witch had done. Perhaps, they might have done something worse."

Ethan had told her about the witches that had been trapped inside the cauldron after losing their powers.

He also mentioned what the Twilight Witch had planned to do with them, which made both Lily and Nicole very uncomfortable.

"Samantha and those girls are lucky that it was you who came to save them," Lily sighed. "If it were other people, things might have ended differently."

Nicole nodded because she also felt this way.

'In a few days, I will lose my Origin Magic,' Nicole thought. 'After that… the real battle will begin.'

She could already feel the power of her Legacy starting to stir inside her body now that her Origin Magic was starting to weaken its hold over it.

Truth be told, Nicole didn't know if this was a good or bad thing.

But she had already decided to take a leap of fate.

If nothing changed, she would die within a year, so the only thing she could do was do everything in her power to control the Legacy that was now deeply rooted inside her body.

Nicole glanced at the young man who was looking at her with concern.

She knew that she could rely on Ethan if things got tough, which was also the main reason why she agreed to have her Origin Crystal extracted.

Perhaps, if Ethan and Nicole only knew what was in store for them next, they might have chosen another alternative in dealing with her Legacy that belonged to a Fallen Angel that had once covered the world, in a blanket of snow and ice.
