Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Ian was listening to the banter of the little dragon on his shoulder while caressing Lyra when he heard a sudden yelp.

"Hey, why does this girl have the smell of the Abyss?"

Ignysyl sniffed his nose as if to confirm, then asked Ian in a surprised voice.

He seemed to have already confirmed and tilted his head while asking for an answer.

"She is a half-succubus."

Ian didn't find it odd and answered matter-of-factly.

"Huh? What... Who are you talking to?"

However, Lyra suddenly heard Ian's low voice and asked, confused, as she didn't see anyone near them.

It was just as sudden for her since she couldn't hear Ignysyl's voice, even though she was literally clinging to Ian's body.

The only person besides them, Aurora, had just left the room and was walking slowly as if deliberately letting them reminisce.

She had become much more sensible in just these seven days.

"Just a friend you can't see yet. I will show you after we leave this place."

Ian smiled and caressed Lyra's face while answering her. He didn't need to hide Ignysyl from his women, but it was still better not to show him here until they left this tower.

"Umm, okay."

Hearing his answer, Lyra looked curious but still didn't inquire further.

"Tch... you don't even know a telepathic spell? Want me to teach you?"

Ignysyl heard Ian saying he was a friend, so he immediately beamed and proposed.

"No need for now."

Although he did need it, this wasn't the time. And whether he could even use the one taught by Ignysyl was a question.

"Yeah, I will teach you after we leave this Spire."

Ignysyl nodded his small head in understanding, then looked at Lyra again and continued, Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

"A half-succubus? Hmm... yeah, now that I look at her seriously, she indeed seems to have awakened some demonic bloodline but it seems she isn't natural."

Ignysyl scanned Lyra with his flickering eyes again after saying that and suddenly said something profound,

"But I wasn't saying that."

"The smell of the Abyss is a product of the rule, and a half-succubus isn't capable of carrying it. But I can clearly sense it on her. How is this possible?"

"Hmm... if I guessed it right, it seems someone is playing tricks on your girl, although I could be wrong."

Ignysyl analyzed after taking a while scanning Lyra this time.

"What do you mean?"

Ian was stunned and hurriedly asked Ignysyl, as this kind of knowledge was quite new to him.

He thought Ignysyl smelled the Abyss in Lyra due to her half-succubus bloodline.

After all, succubi were inhabitants of the Abyss. There was nothing wrong with him thinking like that.

"Haven't you heard? If you gaze long enough into the Abyss, the Abyss will gaze back into you. And your girl is literally carrying the smell of it. Sooner or later, she will be dragged into the Abyss."

Ignsyl replied,

"That's why I said it seems someone is playing tricks on her and trying to drag her to the Abyss realm. But she is so weak, it seems unlikely. What is even the benefit anyway?"

Ignysyl balbberd clearly confused, and then, seeing Ian's sudden solemn look at such news, he suddenly showed a childish grin and boasted,

"But this much trick is nothing in front of me. All I need to do is engulf her inside my Rule of Fire briefly, and that trace will automatically disappear."

He smiled,

"A trace of rule can never survive my complete rule. So, when I'm here, there is no need to worry at all."

At last, he didn't forget to slap his chest as humanely as possible while flaring up the prongs of fire a little bit.

Truly, if he wasn't snobbish, he indeed looked like a magnificent dragon.

"Then do it."

Once Ian heard Ignysyl's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered.

In his opinion, if something was amiss, it was better to solve it as soon as possible. There was no point delaying.

"Hmm? Now?"

Hearing Ian's order, Ignysyl was confused.

"But didn't you say not to show up yet?"

The little dragon scratched Ian's shoulder a bit as if he didn't understand his thought.

In his opinion, it was just a trace of Abyss, he could clear it anytime. There was no need to be so serious, should we?

"Just use your Rule of Fire along with my makeshift fire spell. Can't you use your ability while hiding?"

Ian asked.

"Of course I can. But... why do I need to hide at all?"@@novelbin@@

If he was going to get introduced to Lyra later anyway, why hide now? That other little girl was so weak that he didn't even think there was a need for that.

"Just do as I say."

Ian said while looking at Aurora who was already close to them.

All this time, he hadn't forgotten the whisper that almost drowned him when he inadvertently recalled that name.

Although he was actively forgetting those memories to avoid getting implicated again, the risk was still there and hiding wasn't always a good choice.

So, when he heard that the Rule of Fire could clear the traces of other rules, he suddenly wanted to do some experiments with Ignysyl.

Although it was just an idea, he wanted to see if it worked.

'Just in time to see if it works. If you are only traces of the rule, that will be the best.'

"Ian, what happened?"

Lyra could only hear Ian's words and didn't understand what was happening with him.

"Don't worry. I will use a spell in a bit. You just cling to me and don't move."

Ian advised and suddenly waved his hand while chanting; drawing a little bit of mana from the surroundings.

"Inferno Burst!"

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, with his shout a circle of fire appeared suddenly covering Ian, Lyra as well as Aurora inside.

Although, you required a spell model to cast a spell, how you executed it depended on your control. So, Ian easily circled everyone around him with the fire while not damaging anyone.

"What... What happened?"

Aurora was about to approach Ian and Lyra when a circle of fire engulfed her within a burning inferno, confusing her.

"Envelope everything within this circle with your Rule Of Fire."

Ian then ordered Ignysyl, who appeared perplexed by his actions.

"Why... ... fine."

Ignysyl, who wanted to question, saw Ian's look and immediately deflated not wanting to argue any further.
