Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

As Ian made his way into his room, Eldric and Morgrave began to clean up the aftermath of their fight.

Only after seeing the devastated state of the meeting hall and the mansion did they understand how hectic a fight with a Wizard was. This also clearly showed how strong Ian had become.

"Sigh! My son is already this strong, and I never knew about it?"

Duke Eldric said bitterly feeling emotional.

"Yeah, young master is too strong."

Morgrave also nodded from his side as he had personally experienced Ian's aura. Although he didn't see how Ian confronted that wizard, he was absolutely sure that Ian must have cornered him easily.

"Haha, this is my son after all." Duke Eldric forgot his bitterness and said with pride.

"Okay, I will ask someone to take care of this. You go and recover. You can use those honey Ian gave you earlier, don't save it."

Duke Eldric waved his hand to send Morgrave away. It was best to recover faster to avoid any sequels in the future.

Ironically, in this fight where Ethos tried to kill him, he was the one who was less injured. Your journey continues at empire

"Okay, Lord."

After bowing, Morgrave also left the place.

'Should I tell him?'

Looking at the gradually disappearing figure of Ian on the other side, Eldric thought for a while.

After experiencing how powerful Ian was, he realized that Ian must have already started on a wizard path.

However, after only just a thought, he quickly reined in his thoughts.

"Sigh! Forget it. Children shouldn't concern themselves with such matters. Let him be free in this place without worry. If the time comes, he will ask himself."

Finally, Duke Eldric decided to let nature take its course. Besides, knowing about their past wasn't all good for him anyway.

"Oh? Did he forget that old man's ring and staff?"

Just when Eldric was about to return as well, he saw that Ian hadn't snatched the mana ring and staff of Ethos after killing him.

So, he quickly went towards the headless body of Ethos and collected both the ring and staff.

'Heh, old man, did you ever think you would die when you came out to kill me?'

He mocked the poor wizard who died at his son's hand and then thought of something.

'Come to think of it, now that the only Royal Wizard of the Ashford family is dead, isn't this the time to peel off their skin?'

Although he was sure that killing him was purely Ethos's own decision, he wasn't going to just let them go.

Fortunately, he had no intention of becoming royalty in this barren place, otherwise?

'It seems I need to talk to Alex about this.'

Duke Eldric decided, called over a maid, and asked her to give the mana ring and staff to Ian.

Since he wasn't a wizard, he couldn't open it, and this was his son's spoil, so he wouldn't covet it unnecessarily.

...

Ian finally returned to his spacious room after the hectic fight at the meeting hall. This time, the situation was extremely dangerous.

However, what saved him from fighting desperately or using their last method of employing human sea tactics was his power, or more precisely, his bloodline power.

'Am I a bloodline wizard?'

Ian smirked while feeling ridiculous at Ron's conjecture. He knew how much salt he had.

Although his realm was at Elemental Knight (Grand Knight) and he was a peak First-Class Apprentice, he was nowhere near being called a Wizard yet.

'However, that power was truly marvelous. No wonder Ron thought I was already a first-ring bloodline wizard.'

Ian was still savoring that power in an Ethereal state as if his entire being was unsatiated after that effect wore off. He had never felt so powerful in his life.

'Impervious to damage and able to see through everything. It's just that I don't know how much damage it could ignore.'

Ian thought of a crucial question. Although the arrows went through his body and couldn't harm him, ultimately they were mortal objects. So, he was more concerned about the damage it could ignore if it was a spell.

'Moreover, that was not only my bloodline power.'

Ian thought of the Life Seed's behavior, feeling that it wasn't just related to bloodline. Of course, his awakening might have helped him use that power this time, but it was definitely not a skill like Veilbourne Shroud.

'That cocoon!'

When the Life Seed from his dantian became incorporeal and traveled inside his consciousness, he clearly felt it was pumping out its power. Moreover, it could also be seen from its shriveled state that it was overdrawn.

So, besides that Cocoon he visualized as an anchor for meditation, he couldn't think of other things that had instilled those two words: Veil and Shroud in his mind.

'Let's call them bloodline spells for now.'

Ian decided to name them according to the knowledge he had.

'Young master!'

Just when his mind was wandering everywhere, he heard a knock on the door followed by the sound of a maid.

"Enter!"

Ian opened the door with a wave of his hand and ordered.

"Young master, Lord asked me to deliver this to you."

After the maid spoke, she placed the staff and mana ring in front of him and quickly withdrew from the room.

"Oh? I almost forgot this mana ring."

Ian closed the door and looked at the mana ring. As for the worn-down staff, he put it aside for now since he didn't know a single spell yet.

"Hope there is something that can help me with my state."

He didn't find anything helpful for recovery in Ron's ring except a few mana stones. He thought Ron might have used them already since he was directly absorbing the mana stones at the end.

However, Ethos died so fast that he couldn't even use most of the things he had with him. So, there was hope at least.

As Ian sat on the bed, he lifted the mana ring in his hand and used his feeble mental power to open it.

"Tch... this guy is richer than Ron."
