Chapter 753: You’re Safe Here [Part 1]
The First Level of this power drastically increased the effectiveness of all Water Spells.
The Second Level of the Legacy focused more on Water Manipulation. Any water source within a three-mile radius of the legacy holder would bend to their will.
If mastered to the fullest, even the Water Spells of those around her could be manipulated as well.
The Third Level allowed its wielder to control the weather, summoning Storms that could potentially flood and even drown entire cities if she wished for it.
This was also the stage where one would be able to unleash their own Domain. A world similar to Ethan\'s Grand Aria, where there was nearly an inexhaustible supply of water she could use to fight.
The Fourth Level of this Legacy allowed its user to transform into the Avatar of the Rivers and Lakes, making her nearly invincible.
In this state, even Progenitors would have a hard time fighting her. As long as there was a water source within the range of her powers, they would not be able to kill her.
Finally, the Fifth Level. At this stage, Lilian would not need to worry about Progenitors, for the power she possessed would be equal to them.
In this stage, she would be the Personification of the Rivers and Lakes throughout the entire world, making her truly invincible.
In order to defeat her, the other Progenitors would need to dry up every river and lake in the world. As long as they existed, she couldn\'t be killed.
Also, if she and Ethan used their Legacy Resonance, they would be able to drown entire continents and kill everyone on land.
Ethan shuddered, remembering how every religion in the world had a flood myth.
It was a cataclysmic event that wiped out nearly all the land creatures in the world tens of thousands of years ago.
Some called this Era the Younger Dryas. A time when the world was "reset" to a clean state, starting life anew.
According to the Legends, it was caused by the Progenitors who wielded the Power of Water.
If the flood myth was to be believed to be real, then it was highly possible that Ethan and Lilian were one of those handful of beings who had the power to create a second worldwide calamity.
\'Once I return, I will pass this information on to Lilian,\' Ethan thought.
\'Why would you pass this information on to me?\' Lilian asked. \'I\'m the one who is passing this information to you.\'
\'…\' Ethan almost facepalmed. For a moment, he had forgotten that the Lady of the Lake had merged with his body so that he could better comprehend her powers.
\'What\'s wrong?\' Lilian asked.
\'Nothing,\' Ethan replied. \'Just daydreaming a bit.\'
Ethan closed his eyes once more and once again entered a state of enlightenment.
Now that he had more or less grasped the power of the Legacy of the Rivers and Lakes, all that was left was to understand why Nicole needed him.
According to Lilian, he should have turned into a block of ice when he and Nicole joined as one.
But since that didn\'t happen, it meant that he had something that prevented her power from affecting him in such a manner.
After careful consideration, Ethan believed that it had something to do with his bloodline.
According to Illumina, he was part Demon, part Celestial, and part Fae.
In a rare coincidence, these three racial traits were more prominent inside his body. Ethan didn\'t even know if he had a Human bloodline in him.
The young man was even concerned about the probability of him not being Human.
However, when he consulted his mother, Catherine, about this, she just smiled and told her son, "What\'s wrong with that? I\'m not a Human either."
His mother was part Fae and part Celestial.
His father\'s side was the source of his Demon Blood.
Although Baltazar was once a Human, his blood had been tainted by Demon Blood in his pursuit of power.
It just so happens that Ethan had a thicker concentration of Demon Blood instead of Human Blood.
As for his sister, Joanne, she had all four bloodlines.
But that didn\'t make her stronger than Ethan.
Since the powers of Celestials, Fae, and Demons were thicker in his blood, his ability to wield their powers was stronger as well.
\'Lilian, I think the reason why I am able to resist Nicole\'s power is due to my bloodline,\' Ethan said. \'That\'s the only thing that I can think of.\'
\'…\'
This time, it was Lilian who suddenly became quiet, making Ethan wonder what was wrong with her.
\'She\'s coming,\' Lilian said softly. \'She\'s almost here.\'
Ethan didn\'t have to be told who was coming because there was only one person who could make Lilian react this strongly.
The young man shifted his focus to his Sea of Consciousness so that he could check the mark that was left behind by the Witch of the East.
The red orb that was the size of a golf ball inside his Sea of Consciousness was shaking as if something was trying to forcefully awaken it.
At that point in time, Ethan heard the sound of his beating heart.
It was beating faster and faster as if synchronizing with the red orb that had started to shake like crazy.
"Ethan, come here! I command you to come to me!"
At that moment, Ethan felt as if something had snapped inside his head, making him fall into a daze.
But just as his consciousness was about to fade, a pair of soft, delicate hands hugged him from behind.
"Don\'t worry," Lilian said. "I am here. There\'s nothing to be worried about. She won\'t be able to take you from me."
Ethan felt his consciousness starting to clear up, making him sigh in relief.
He turned around to face the Lady of the Lake, who had also entered his Sea of Consciousness out of worry for him.
