Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Nicole remained unmoving as Ethan shared his memory of what had happened inside the Painting of Enlightenment with her.

Ethan initially wanted to omit the things that happened between him and the Witch of the East.

But in the end, he decided to bare everything to her.

This way, his best friend would understand his sudden change in perception when it came to having a close skinship with her.

Several minutes later, Ethan pulled back and looked at the young lady, whose eyes were still closed, deeply immersed in the memories that he had shared with her.

Nicole stayed in that state for nearly half an hour more before she opened her eyes.

Her gaze was unfocused at first, but as the seconds passed by, clarity returned to them.

She then looked at Ethan, and to the young man’s surprise, the young lady only smiled at him.

"It seems that someone had the time of his life," Nicole said in a teasing tone. "Tell me honestly, did you enjoy it?"

It seemed that instead of making Nicole feel embarrassment the same way that he did, the memories he passed over to her only served as her blackmail material against him.

"At that time, I wasn’t thinking of enjoying it," Ethan replied honestly. "But yes, I would be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy embracing the YOU from that world. Happy now?"

Nicole nodded. "It’s fine. It’s not a big deal since the one that you embraced wasn’t the real thing. The real one is more amazing, you know?"

Ethan subconsciously glanced at Nicole’s chest before shaking his head to clear out the thoughts that suddenly emerged in his mind.

’Don’t let your dreams remain dreams, young man,’ Sebastian said in a mischievous tone. ’Immortality is there. Take it, it’s yours!’

Ethan’s Other Half, on the other hand, just laughed because he was finding his comrade’s antics quite funny.

"Okay. Come here, and let me give you a hug," Nicole spread her arms wide. "That way, you can continue to become my bed warmer."

"You... hah... forget it," Ethan sighed as he moved to hug his best friend. "Here I am feeling troubled about it, and you just shrug it off as if it is just a passing breeze."

"Well, it’s not like I’m indifferent or uninterested in the act itself," Nicole replied as she hugged Ethan.

She then moved her lips beside his ear and whispered.

"Right now, I don’t have any intention of relinquishing this power that I possess," Nicole whispered. "However, when I am about to kick the bucket, I will think of you."

"There is also something else that I need you to know," Ethan commented.

He then told her about the Progenitors and the danger his body was currently facing.

The look of amusement on Nicole’s face turned to shock, then to dread in less than a minute, making Ethan smile faintly.

"But know this," Ethan said as he held Nicole’s hand firmly. "If I am given a choice between saving you and avoiding a fight against Progenitors, I will choose you anytime. So, don’t worry, and do your best to master your Legacy at your own pace."

After absorbing Nicole’s Legacy of Absolute Zero in the world of the painting, he gained a bit of information about it.

He made sure to pass this information to Nicole as well so that she could use it as a guideline to be able to master her Legacy.

"Thank you, Ethan," Nicole said. "I didn’t know I meant that much to you."

"Of course, you mean that much to me," Ethan replied. "I would not be here where I am right now without your help. In this lifetime, you are one of my teachers who has taught me how to fight."

Nicole smirked before laying down on the bed.

"My head still hurts a bit due to that memory transfer," Nicole said. "Now, be a good hug pillow, and let me hug you for a while."

"Such a slave driver." But Ethan obeyed the young lady’s request and allowed her to use him as her hug pillow.

A few minutes later, Nicole’s sleeper breaths reached Ethan’s ears.

Truth be told, ever since he disappeared, Nicole had not been able to sleep peacefully at night.

Part of it was due to worry, the other was because the gift that Ethan gave her had stopped working when the teenage boy disappeared.

Because of this, the coldness she was feeling accumulated, and the feeling became more intense than before.

It was like using a maintenance medicine and then suddenly stopping taking it. The absence of the medicine made the symptoms return, and the ailment became much worse than it was before.

Now that Ethan was back, Nicole was finally able to feel relief, allowing her to fall asleep in his arms like a baby.

"Lilith, go to the Dud Manor for a while and tell the others that I will be a bit late," Ethan said to Lilith using telepathy. "I’ll wait until Nicole wakes up on her own. It seems like she hadn’t had a good rest for the past week."

"Understood," Lilith replied before jumping out of Ethan’s shadow in her cat form.

Since Nicole might be sleeping for several hours, Ethan decided to sleep with her as well.

The heavy load in his chest was lighter now since he decided to come clean and tell his best friend everything that he knew about her Legacy, as well as the things that he experienced in the painting.

For some reason, Ethan felt more at ease as he held the young lady in his arms.

Although his body was still heating up due to her softness, and although her fragrance still reminded him of those intimate moments in the painting, his heart was no longer troubled and conflicted.

’It’s just a normal physical reaction,’ Ethan thought. ’As long as I don’t think about it much, it will go back to how it was before.’

With these thoughts in mind, Ethan fell asleep without a care in the world.

Perhaps because he was too tired, he had a dream.

A dream where he and Nicole were doing intimate things together.

But unlike the one in the painting, the young lady in his arms was indeed more amazing and more spirited, making Ethan feel as if he had met his match in the ways of passionate

Lovemaking.
