'Is he taking revenge?'
Ian couldn't help but think since which wizard couldn't control their power to cause such a basic mistake.
"Cough...cough..."
However, he saw that along with him, Lyra and a few others also engulfed some dust during the displacement. Seeing such situations, he finally rejected that idea.
It seemed nobody had set foot on this cliff for a decade, causing dust to gather around. They were just unlucky to land in such a place.
While Ian controlled his cough and swept away all the dust around with his life energy, Ron, on the other hand, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
'Is this my fault?'
Although Ian only mumbled in a low voice, he heard it correctly, causing his smiling face to change. He had already used such a large-scale spell to directly take them to the top of the Everbright Cliff, and Ian was here complaining about a little dust. Even as an old man, he felt so aggrieved.
Fortunately, except for Lyra and Carl, who were alert even after such a long-distance displacement spell, other people didn't hear Ian's mumblings, saving him some face.
'Serves you right.'
But Ron didn't know that Carl was gloating at him, although he did feel annoyed that Ian could even scold this wizard. Carl really didn't understand what was so special about him.
"Ian, are you alright?"
Lyra asked after hearing his cough, not minding him scolding the exalted Sir Wizard one bit.
"Cough, Uguh... yeah, I'm fine now. I was just caught by surprise."
Ian waved his hand to show that he was fine while adjusting his posture. Although the landing experience was a bit weird, he had to say that this spell was really awesome; it could transport so many people to the top of the Everbright Cliff in a second.
Ron really spent tons of mana just to show the extraordinariness of Wizardry to everyone, and it seemed it worked. Truly, although Ian now didn't think the Knight Path was useless, the Wizard Path had its own inexplicable charm that was so fatally attractive.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"Woah!"
Just when Ian gathered himself, the crowd around also began to wake up one by one, followed by their astonished and incredulous sighs.
"Is this Ignisia Tower? So tall and so beautiful."
One of them couldn't help but murmur after seeing such a structure for the first time in his life.
"Is this real?"
"Seems to be."
"Magnificent!"
Hearing their astonishment, Ian also looked at the tall structure in front of him that seemed to signify the only embodiment of magic on this continent.
The Ignisia Tower in front of Ian was an imposing, ancient structure that reached into the clouds, resembling a dragon soaring into the sky, intent on engulfing the heavens.
And just like the Ignisia Token, the tower itself was also glowing faintly with an internal amber light, resembling molten lava. Ian could even see flowing Archaic runes all over the tower's surface, with their usage unknown.
"Now you know what you will miss?"
Ron smiled in satisfaction from the reaction of the crowd, completely ignoring Ian's earlier remarks while walking towards the tower in front.
"The Ignisia Tower in front of you is the only Wizard Tower on this Gravethrone Continent, but its rank is the highest of many such towers in this world."
He signaled everyone to follow him with his eyes while beginning to talk about the tower's history.
Ian also followed along with Lyra and Aurora, while Henry just looked stupefied by the sight in front of him, causing Aurora to remind him.
"You might think it is just a structure made by some Wizard with a little bit of magic, but you don't know that in actuality, it is an artifact made by a Supreme Wizard in ancient times; a real Mythic Artifact made from the corpse of a Monarch Level Evil Dragon."
'Ignysyl!'
'Oops...!'
Ian involuntarily called out the name in his mind he learned in the later plot of Arcane Passage, then retracted his thought in a hurry. He was just exposed to danger because of recalling the name of one Monarch when he inadvertently recalled another one.
'Stupid!'
However, this couldn't be put on him, as sometimes he looked at things as a bystander, causing him to be prone to making such a silly mistake. One of the cons of transmigration, it seemed.
'Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any issue like before.'
Ian heaved a sigh of relief after not seeing any reaction like earlier and finally let down his guard, still appearing alert.
'It seems like he is really dead. How sad.'
Ian thought while looking at the fiery tower in front of him that was becoming more and more visible as he walked near. He could now even see large, complex scales engraved with Archaic runes filled with flowing mana. It was indeed a truly beautiful sight.
As strong as a Monarch-level Dragon was, he was still sacrificed in the end to make an artifact for a Wizard that could be appreciated by lowly beings he probably never even saw as worthy during his life.
It wasn't without reason Ian was obsessed with gaining power and standing at the top. Was there any worth to your life if it depended on the whim of someone? Even more so when he was directly tagged by the 'Passerby Villain' destiny.
Ian just didn't show it, but his situation might even be more worthless than this dragon's. At least, he became a Mythic Artifact even after he died. What about him?
While Ian was contemplating, Ron saw that many in the crowd were confused by the unfamiliar words. So, he waved his hands and continued,
"Well, forget about those things for now. You will learn about them later. Just know that you are very lucky to stand in front of this marvelous structure. Not everyone can come here and many Wizard die even without getting a chance."
