After briefly playing with his newfound power, Ian remembered the current concern.
'Support might take some time to arrive. It is time to go to Woodhaven City.'
He hadn't forgotten the reminder from Margaret that Sylvia had gotten some incredible opportunity and he might not see her if he was late.
'It seems Sylvia disappeared from the Gravethorne Continent early on in Arcane Passage.'
He already knew Sylvia was one of the heroines of Arcane Passage from the Quest Prompt. However, up to where he read, there was no mention of Sylvia at all.
So, he figured she might have disappeared elsewhere with an opportunity in the early chapter.
'With that brat's temper, it is entirely possible.'
He remembered the marriage proposals from the Duke Thorncrest family. If there was no involvement from him, Duke Alex might try to engage his daughter away.
And with Sylvia's temper, if she were forced and had the opportunity to run, she would do so.
'I hope she didn't run away this early.'
He was about to leave immediately after awakening his bloodline before, but his extreme increase in strength didn't allow it.
'Veilborn Shroud!'
After thinking for a while, Ian decided to use his bloodline passive to rush fast. Although it was a passive skill, he could actively use it with greater efficiency if needed.
As far as the information was concerned, he knew Sylvia was still in Woodhaven City.
Since they were in the same province, he could arrive there in half a day if he used his passive without pause. He could also use this opportunity to hone this ability more.
As Ian's thought moved, he felt the bloodline inside his body stirring in a strange rhythm.
Suddenly, Ian felt as light as a feather and his perception increased tenfold. However, he felt like it consumed more energy and stamina than before, just like the difference between walking and running.
'Let's go to Woodhaven City.'
With a light step, Ian suddenly disappeared from Bridgeport city and arrived outside within seconds inexplicably without any sound.
...
[Mistwood Province-Woodhaven City]
"Sylvia, the more you waste time, the more the space will become unstable. When I arrived before, it was already showing signs of breaking."
At the center of Woodhaven City, in a courtyard garden of a large mansion, a beautiful girl in a stunning purple dress was sitting on a bench.
On her shoulder, a small creature, a beautiful little elf, was pouting in dissatisfaction.
"However, you said there is still time."
"But the more you delay, the more there will be a chance of danger when leaving," Luna said anxiously.
Since she was her companion, she could deeply understand her feelings. However, she wasn't lying as the world she came from was getting farther away as days passed.
If they delayed any longer, they might encounter something unexpected and could even mistakenly land in a different place.
"Okay, I know. Don't worry, it won't take long," Sylvia answered, as always trying to end this topic.
After her relationship with Ian heated up that time at Ian's house, she had been thinking of him all day long.
However, after her father talked about marriage to another guy, she was so angry that she directly went to her mother's house.
After all, she couldn't say she liked Ian in front of her father.
However, her mother Evelyn had already told her that Ian seemed to have already talked to her father.
Although she didn't know what they talked about, her father immediately rejected the marriage proposals once Ian left. So, she was very happy.
She didn't want to leave this place where her family, friends, and loved ones were.
However, Luna told her that she had to leave this place as soon as possible because this place seemed to reject both of them, and something might happen if they stayed there.
She also had this weird feeling of danger lately.
However, no matter what, she wanted to at least meet Ian one time before leaving. Who knew when they would meet if they separated this time?
As for her parents, she had already cooked up some reasons and shown her strength to make them relieved.
"If he doesn't return in time, I will go to the Border."
"Who won't return?"
Just when she softly shouted out her inner thoughts, a young male voice came from behind her.
"Who?"
Sylvia tensed and suddenly used her newfound power instinctively.
"Swoosh!"
With just her thought, thick vines sprung out from under her feet, trying to intercept whoever was behind her.
Ian looked at the instant casting of spells in front of him, surprised, and dodged everything subconsciously while walking closer to Sylvia.
'It is indeed an excellent opportunity.'
From the time his voice sounded to the moment vines appeared, there was no gap. Moreover, unlike a Wizard, he didn't see Sylvia chanting spells or using mental power.
'Interesting. But I'm stronger than you.'
Ian smiled, suddenly disappeared from his place, and appeared directly in front of Sylvia, who had turned around to face him.
"Ouch!"
Sylvia suddenly felt a warm hand grabbing her waist, directly lifting her closer to a warm body.
"Tch... brat, just because you became strong doesn't mean you can beat me," Ian smirked smugly and teased the girl in front of him, who had a shocked look on her face.
"Ian... why are you here?" she asked subconsciously.
"Well... I'm..."
However, just when Ian was about to answer, he sensed someone or something directly behind him.
It was so concealed that if his bloodline passive wasn't awakened, he would never have noticed it.
"Vine Grip!"
Luna cried in a sweet voice, and all the vines around the garden suddenly encircled Ian's body, trying to imprison him.
However, she suddenly realized that Ian was nowhere to be found, and he disappeared directly in front of her eyes.
Before she could voice her confusion, she suddenly found her beautiful wings pinched by a big hand.
"What is this?"
