Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

"Fuck!"

The moment Ian saw Ignysyl's Destiny, he involuntarily cursed loudly, causing the little dragon on his shoulder to jolt in surprise.@@novelbin@@

"What? What happened again?"

He couldn't help but ask as his excitement was completely ruined by Ian's unexpected shout.

"Uhum... nothing, don't worry about it."

Ian realized he had lost his composure, so he slightly coughed to ease his embarrassment while looking at Ignysyl weirdly.

"Tch... Welcome to the club, I guess?"

He mumbled since, like him, this dragon also became a Passerby Villain.

How laughable.

At least Lost Monarch sounded awesome, although he didn't know if Ignysyl would have fixed Destiny like him or could upgrade.

But from what he gauged from the reset of Destiny, it might be because Ignysyl got connected with him that he shared the same one as him at the start and might upgrade later on.

"Anyway, are you feeling alright?"

Ian asked, diverting the topic while looking at Ignysyl, who seemed a little weak after making a Primal Bond.

The True Blood, in actuality, was the essence of a dragon. Even if it was called blood, it wasn't normal by any means.

So, although what Ian absorbed was just a little pint, it was still a significant consumption for Ignysyl, a juvenile dragon.

"What will happen to me? I'm as good as ever. Don't you see?"

As always, Ignysyl flared up his nose as if Ian's concern was completely unnecessary, although his slightly tired face spoke otherwise.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say."

Ian didn't want to babysit his little pride, ignored it completely and continued,

"So, do you have any authority over this Glowy Spire of yours or any treasure we can hoard on this floor?"

After having a Dragon as a subordinate, Ian was ready to take any benefit he could get. After all, the name of this tower was basically related to this little dragon of his.

Although he didn't dream big, like controlling this Mythical Artifact, grabbing some treasures should be possible, right?

He was already thinking about some ancient item that could help him directly reach First Ring Wizard.

"What treasure? What authority? This place is so lonely and barren that there is nothing inside."

But to his dismay, Ignysyl instead shook his head in denial. From his expression, he really seemed to have nothing on this tower.

But when he saw Ian's stern look, he still continued nervously,

"Ugh... there might be something like inheritances here, like what you just got from that guy, but I cannot take those and even if I can, there is no time."

"So, you don't have anything after living here for so long?"

Ian didn't believe that was the case. Was this guy defying his order or what?

Wasn't a Dragon supposed to be a treasure hoarder?

Why was this one so useless?

"Um... there really is none."

Ignysyl thought for a while seriously and replied,

"Look, I'm not lying here. Whatever I had before, I already ate it. And I cannot leave this damn floor to search for better things."

The little dragon defended himself as if he was really not lying.

"Then, why did you say this is your Glowy Spire? What kind of dragon is so poor?"

Ian gnashed his teeth in hatred while looking at Ignysyl, who was acting pitifully.

"Hehe, since there is no one alive here besides myself, of course, it is automatically my Glowy Spire, isn't it?"

Ignysyl smiled slyly while looking at Ian.

"Do you want to stay here forever?"

However, Ian's cold voice completely deflated his fragile pride, and he immediately corrected his expression.

"No... no... I don't want to stay here. Hey, I'm really not lying. There is nothing here besides pure mana. That's why I was so bored all those years."

Ignysyl hurriedly shook his head, as he didn't want to stay here for a minute, let alone forever.

Then, as if he thought of something, his eyes suddenly glowed with a brilliant light.

"Hey, although I have nothing with me here, I am a dragon, after all. I have a strong sense of treasure. After we go out, I will help you get them to the best of my abilities. What do you think?"

He proposed, feeling that it was doable.

Besides helping Ian, he also had a little selfish motive to loot everywhere. Even thinking about those things almost made him salivate.

'Sigh... another plan to hoard treasure is ruined.'

Ian shook his head with bitterness. Of course, he knew the dragon could sense treasure and help him, but the risk was too great outside.

All he wanted was an immediate benefit for once before reaching Calvora Continent, but it seemed that wasn't possible this time.

"Let's talk about that after we leave this place. It is almost time for the trial to end now."

He didn't bother Ignysyl anymore and looked at the doors of the two rooms that opened simultaneously since the array inside the meditation hall had already stopped working.

As he said, the time for the end of Ignisia Trial had arrived; although it was kinda lame. Ian felt no pressure at all.

"Yeah, I can feel that."

Ignysyl also nodded while showing clear excitement on his face. Finally, he could leave with Ian and see the world outside, which was described in his bloodline inheritance.

"Ian!"

Just when Ian looked at the door, Lyra immediately saw his figure standing in front and ran towards him quickly with a big smile, hugging him directly.

"Um... you seem to have gained a lot."

Ian smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to his side.

"Yeah, I'm now a Second-Class wizard apprentice and learned a few other spells you gave me. Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to reach Third-Class Apprentice."

Lyra said while snuggling in his arms, feeling relaxed. She liked his smell and their close bond.

"No need to hurry needlessly. We have all the time to practice after leaving this continent."

It wasn't like they were going to return to that barren land again. Instead, they would head for the Calvora continent, where mana and resources for a mere apprentice were abundant.

"Hey, Ian. Why do I smell something strange on you? It feels like something has burned." Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

While they were snuggling, Lyra suddenly asked curiously as she noticed a strange fiery smell on Ian's body that wasn't there before.

"Hm? Can you smell it? It is probably one of my spells."

Ian replied casually while looking at Ignysyl on his shoulder, who was already yawning out of boredom.

He seemed to have no mood to watch their interaction.

"Don't look at me. She cannot see or feel my existence unless I show myself even if I am now free from the restrictions."

Ignsyl said and pointed at his wings,

"See those prongs of flames? They are the manifestation of my Rule of Fire. Unless I want to, no one can see me."

Ignysyl proudly showed his ever-flaring prongs of flames around his wings, displaying his magnificence.

However, after seeing no interest in Ian's eyes, he quickly adjusted himself and pointed at Lyra.

"She might be smelling our bond. She seems quite close to you. I can also smell her on you."

The little dragon twitched his nose as if to prove it.

"Hm? What is this smell?"

However, just when he wanted to explain to Ian, he was surprised to smell something he didn't expect.

"Isn't this... the smell of the Abyss?"
