Chapter 542 This Is Sexual Harassment, You Know?

The moment Nicole and Darran started their battle, Ethan stood at the side in respect for Nicole’s declaration to fight the Elder Ice Dragon by herself.

Although he was worried, he decided to respect her decision.

But that didn’t mean that he would just stand idle if her life was in danger. Ethan would rather break his promise than watch a close friend die in front of him.

When their battle started, both unleashed their Ice Magic against each other.

Ethan thought that Nicole would be overwhelmed in the battle of elements since she was using Ice Magic against an Ice Dragon.

However, it didn’t take long before he realised that he had nothing to worry about in that department. Nicole’s spell was on par with Darran, and whenever their icicles clashed against each other, they would shatter into a shower of ice shards.

‘You know, I find it really odd that Nicole is using Ice Magic when her specialty is Fire and Water,’ Sebastian commented as he watched the battle from the side. ‘Is there perhaps a deeper meaning to this? Since her Ice Spells are on par with the Ice Dragon, it means that the power behind it isn’t weak.’

‘Maybe she is afflicted with some kind of condition—the kind that if she doesn’t use Ice Magic, she would turn into an ice statue or something?’ Ethan’s Other Half commented, which made Ethan and Sebastian glare at him.

Ethan’s Other Half simply shrugged and continued to watch the battle. Anyway, he only said what was in his mind.

After several minutes of, it was clear that neither of them were able to break past each other’s defences using Ice Magic.

Perhaps sensing this, Darran unleashed a Dragon Breath, making Ethan stand at the ready.

But just as he was about to interfere, Sebastian and his Other Half stopped him.

““Wait!””

The two of them shouted at the same time, making Ethan stop whatever he was about to do.

The moment Nicole’s eye colour changed to crimson red, the two immediately felt the power of a Legacy, making their eyes widen in shock.

“Glacies Agrum.”

Nicole said with a devilish smile plastered on her face.

An ice tornado spun around her and expanded outward, turning into a hurricane, which pushed Ethan away from the battlefield.

A few seconds later, the tornado dispersed, allowing Ethan and the other Ice Dragons to look at the battlefield once more.

But, to their surprise, Nicole and Darran were nowhere to be seen.

‘Did she just use a Domain?’ Ethan inquired.

He had the same ability, so this was the only explanation that he could think of.

This was her first time unleashing the Legacy that had been eating away her lifespan. Although she had prepared for the worst, she didn’t expect that she would not be strong enough to control it.

The only thing she heard after she awakened her power were the words...

“You should let Ethan warm you up after your short nap. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with this overgrown lizard.”

The voice was filled with confidence and arrogance as if dealing with an Elder Ice Dragon was just a piece of cake.

But despite the coldness in its voice, she also felt a surge of warmth, which let her know that everything was going to be fine.

So when she regained her senses and found herself in Ethan’s embrace, she knew that the duel had finally ended.

Nicole raised her head a bit and looked past Ethan’s shoulder, allowing her to see the Elder Ice Dragon who was trapped in ice.

This was the power that she was desperately trying to control, for it came from a very powerful Legacy.

A Legacy that even the Asta Family didn’t know existed inside their Main Residence.

“Do you feel better?” Ethan asked, seeing that Nicole had regained some color in her beautiful face.

“I’m fine,” Nicole replied. “But you’re a good hot compress. Do you know where I can buy more Ethan merchandise?”

“I guess the cold has gotten to your head,” Ethan sighed as he lightly rubbed Nicole’s head.

“This is sexual harassment, you know?” Nicole said in a teasing tone. “You’re taking advantage of a beautiful young lady in her weakened state and touching her all over the place. How noble of you, Mr. Honorary Knight.”

“I guess you’re already feeling better.” Ethan smirked. “Time to leave then.”

“Ten minutes.”

“Excuse me?”

“Ten more minutes,” Nicole repeated. “I’ll let you hug me for ten more minutes.”

Ethan sighed for the second time, but he didn’t move away and hugged Nicole a little bit tighter.

Her body was still cold, but it was no longer freezing cold.

They were not aware that, while the two of them were hugging, the Elder Dragon, Darran, was looking at them from the inside of the block of ice.

He was wishing that the two would hurry up so that Nicole could break the ice and free him from the icy prison.

Perhaps, knowing this as well, Nicole took her sweet time until the coldness was properly dispersed from her body before making a move to finish what she had started.
