Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Chapter 122 Entering The Ignisia Tower

Ron didn't lie, as not any wizard could come to this place. Moreover, due to the presence of the three forbidden zones, generally, powerful wizards wouldn't come, even if given the chance; missing the opportunity to visit this tower.

He then allowed the crowd to digest his words while chanting a spell as he felt the air around was starting to get hotter.

"Aqua Shield!"

As they made their way near the Ignisia Tower, the heat became unbearable. So, Ron just increased the range of his Aqua Shield, covering everyone in a thin film of water curtain, causing the heat to subside significantly.

"Pure mana!"

Ian's attention was instead elsewhere as he felt a faint trace of pure mana as he drew closer and closer to the tower while his entire body began to feel refreshed.

Unlike when he was in Ashen Sanctum, where his mind would be continuously affected by some strange substance in the air, this time he felt completely pure mana without embellishment.

So, he couldn't help but operate his meditation method, unconsciously absorbing the trace of it in relish.

"Finally, this is the exact feeling I want."

Ian wasn't the only one who felt that way, as Carl and Lyra also felt the same. However, the one who was the most excited was Carl, as he couldn't control the smile on his face, even after trying hard.

"Indeed, mana is life."

Ruther also commented after feeling the long-lost mana around him. For a wizard, mana was their life. Although it was said that higher rank Wizard didn't need them, that was only when there was no option.

'Let's see how I will take my revenge.'

Carl wasn't just thinking about mana but about the power he could unleash with it and the ability to redeem the dignity he once lost.

So, his gaze stuck on Ian for a while again in a competitive spirit. He had now already forgotten the lost bet he had just made with Ian.

"Okay, no need to fret, just adjust to the heat and follow me slowly. You don't have to worry about this after entering the tower."

Ron consoled after seeing that many were still feeling uncomfortable with the extreme heat, even when he used Aqua Shield. But this was the extent he would waste mana to defend; he couldn't just babysit everyone throughout their journey.

And since most of them were Knights, they could withstand this much heat with their bodies anyway.

So, as the crowd made their way closer, the air became hotter and hotter, along with the increase in the density of mana.

"Ian, it feels so comfortable."

Lyra breathed in the hot air around greedily while talking to Ian in surprise. While she only felt refreshed before, now she felt revitalized from within, as if she was finally at the place she belonged.

"Yeah, it feels good."

Ian also nodded after feeling the change, but Aurora looked around in confusion. Except for the increasing heat, she felt nothing. Unlike them, she was instead feeling uncomfortable.

After everyone walked along the edge of the Everbright Cliff under the Ignisia Tower, they finally arrived at a circular lifted platform surrounded by complex array patterns.

"We are at the place."

Ron said while directly climbing the stairs toward the center of the array. Ian could see that among all of them, Ron was the most excited about entering the Tower.

It didn't take long for all of them to climb and stand right at the top of the circular platform.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the transmission process first. I will explain the things after entering the tower. For now, just take out your Ignisia Tower token and place it in your hand."

Ron instructed while taking out a similar token from his mana ring.

"Just do what he said."

Seeing Lyra looking at him, Ian instructed her while taking out his Ignisia Token from his mana ring. After killing Ethos, he had already changed his mana ring while giving the earlier one he obtained from killing Adrian to Lyra.

"Okay!"

Lyra and Aurora also placed the token in their hand like every other person in the crowd.

Just when everyone did what was told, the silent array beneath their feet suddenly glowed brilliantly, as if some mechanism had been triggered while drawing mana like a siphon from its surroundings.

"This is a teleportation array that could take us to the first floor of the Ignisia Tower. Like before, just relax your nerves and let the array do its work."

Ron timely advised, quelling down the unrest of the crowd. Since it was their first time experiencing such methods one after another, they were almost overwhelmed.

As everyone calmed down and grabbed their Ignisia Trial token in their hands, which was pulsating in rhythm with the array, the teleportation spell was finally completed.

Carl was also excited about the upcoming event as he kept looking in Ian's direction as if he wanted to immediately show his incredible power.

Of course, his unbridled gaze didn't escape Ian's keen perception as he felt his wandering, piercing gaze for quite some time now.

'Did he think I'm still a Knight?'

Ian thought after seeing Carl's obvious provocation. Come to think of it, he indeed never showed his power in front of anyone, so it was natural that except for Ron and Lyra, others couldn't guess he was already a Wizard Apprentice.

'Heh, the protagonist in the early stage is indeed immature.'

Ian thought while smiling at Carl as if he wasn't aware of his thoughts at all.

'Let's give him a little shock then, shall we?'

After seeing that the teleportation array was about to take effect, Ian thought mischievously while looking at Aurora's slim but gorgeous figure in her royal outfit, who seemed out of sync, unlike others.

"Hey, brace for the possible impact."

Just when the light from the array covered the entire circular platform, Ian shouted seriously while suddenly placing his arms around the waist of Lyra and Aurora, directly placing both their bodies in his chest.

"Ouch!"

Aurora was thinking about her null qualifications, the danger surrounding her, and what she would do after arriving at the Calvora continent when suddenly she felt a strong arm grabbing her by the waist, placing her body directly in a warm embrace.

"What..."

"Swoosh!"

She wanted to say something, but the intense light from the array engulfed everything around them as they directly disappeared from the circular platform.

"You bastard! Let go of her..."

What remained behind was the loud shout of anger as everyone teleported inside the Ignisia Tower in a flash.
