Chapter 905: The True Origin Of The Cauldron Of The Twilight

Ethan stared in horror at the floating Origin Magic Crystal above Chloe's chest, which drained all the color from his face.

The young lady in his arms had completely lost consciousness, and her face was as pale as a candle.

"Quickly make that blasted cauldron disappear and let her absorb her Origin Magic Crystal back into her before it's too late!" Chessy, who suddenly appeared inside the room, shouted, snapping Ethan out of his daze.

The young man immediately stored the Black Cauldron inside his storage ring and grabbed the Origin Magic Crystal.

He then opened Chloe's lips and pushed it inside, forcing her to absorb her Origin Magic Crystal back into her body.

Ethan used his X-Vision and looked directly at Chloe's Magic Core.

After absorbing Samantha's Origin Crystal, he gained a new comprehension, which gave him the ability to see the Origin Magic Crystals that were inside a Wizard's or Witch's Magic Core.

At first, he didn't see anything.

But after half a minute, a faint spark appeared in Chloe's Magic Core. Shimmering red lights then merged together, forming the Red Origin Magic Crystal that Ethan saw earlier.

This made the young man sigh in relief, now certain that Chloe had been able to regain her magic power.

Ethan's Other Half had disassembled Sofia's Crystal Orb made up of dozens of Origin Crystals.

He then returned these Crystals back to their owners, allowing them to regain their magic by consuming it directly.

"How did you get your hands on the Cauldron of Twilight?" Chessy asked, feeling shaken by what just transpired.

If not for the fact that it secretly followed Ethan and Nicole to eavesdrop on their discussion, it might not have witnessed such a horrifying scene with its own eyes.

"I'll tell you once Chloe regains her consciousness," Ethan replied. "But can you tell me what just happened? The Cauldron of Twilight is not supposed to do that."

Chessy hesitated, but since it was Ethan who possessed the powerful artifact, it decided that keeping the young man in the dark might cause unforeseen problems in the future.

With this reasoning in mind, it decided to tell him everything it knew about the Cauldron of Twilight.

"The Cauldron of Twilight is an artifact created by the Firbolgs," Chessy explained. "Out of desperation and their desire to hide themselves from the Fomorians who pursued them, they created an artifact that would strip them of their powers.

"They believed that the Fomorians would not be able to find them if they lived among the Humans, no longer having their powers. They chose to give up their powers in exchange for safety, and for a while, this strategy indeed worked.

"However, even if they no longer possessed their powers, their bloodline still carried them. So, the Cauldron of Twilight reacts to anyone with Firbolg Blood.

"If they possess Magic Powers regardless of whether they are man or woman, the Cauldron of Twilight will instantly strip them of their power, turning them into ordinary mortals.

"Usually, the power stripped from the Firbolgs would be stored inside the cauldron for safekeeping. This is the method they chose in order to hide within Human society, preventing the Fomorians from finding them."

The Chesmire Cat then stared at Chloe, who had just come face to face with an artifact that her ancestors had created to safeguard them from harm.

However, now that the Fomorians had gone into hiding, this Cauldron had now become a weapon against the ones who created it, taking their Origin Crystals without warning.

"Ethan, there are many Wizards and Witches who don't know that they have Firbolg Ancestry," Chessy explained. "Even to this day, there are some of them living as ordinary Humans, not knowing that they were part of what used to be a very powerful, glorious race that roamed Midgard.

"It will be best if you don't casually take out that Cauldron or something like this might happen again in the future. But if ever you are fighting against a Firbolg, this Cauldron will serve as your ultimate weapon against them.

"Just make sure to erase all evidence. If they find out that you are in possession of such an artifact, the Firbolgs might just become your mortal enemies."

"… Sh*t," Ethan muttered because if what Chessy was true, then he might be in big trouble now.

The fact that the Cauldron of Twilight existed had been discussed in Nightfall Academy, and many people were there during Ethan's questioning.

He had mentioned that he had destroyed the Cauldron of Twilight, but some people were still having their doubts that he really had destroyed it.

If news of what happened reached the ears of the Firbolgs hiding in Eastshire, things could get really ugly, really fast.

"After solving one problem, another problem pops up." Ethan sighed before taking out a rejuvenation potion and drinking half of its contents.

He then pressed his lips to Chloe's lips, feeding the potion to her directly.

Ethan then drank the remaining half and repeated the same action.

A few minutes later, Chloe slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ethan in a daze.

"Ethan?" Chloe said weakly, making the young man feel guilty as he held her tight. "What happened? The last thing I remember is seeing a Cauldron, and I felt like something important from me had been taken away in an instant."

"What you saw is the Cauldron of Twilight," Ethan explained as he wrapped his arms around the young lady in a protective embrace. "It's an artifact made by the Firbolgs so they could extract their magic power, allowing them to live like normal Humans and mingle in their society.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that it would affect those with Firbolg blood in this manner. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Chloe shook her head. "I just feel weak. But I'm feeling a bit better now. Can you tell me how you came across that cauldron?"

Ethan nodded before telling her the story about the Twilight Witch, Sofia, and the series of kidnappings that recently happened in Grandshire.

The more Chloe and Chessy listened to the story, the more grim their faces became.

If this Cauldron fell into the wrong hands, then not only were the Witches of the world in danger, but it would also affect all the Firbolgs who were doing their best to live in a place far away from their original home.
