Passerby Villain In A Wizard World-Chapter 253: Morgana

"Sir Wizard, I am Morgana, a First Ring Wizard from Harmonia."

'Just as I thought.'

Ian wasn't surprised to hear her name.

Those ember eyes with dark pupils were her distinct characteristic trait that wasn't present in anyone else.

He remembered that it was specifically mentioned in the Arcane Passage.

So, instead, he was confused as to why she was here. After all, she should be running away from Krakens in Deepsire by this time.

"Oh... then what are you doing here?"

Ian asked, although it sounded silly. But his question was more about her sudden appearance in this Arcane Highland.

"Hmm? What do you mean? I came here because this place is a Wizard ruin?"

Sure enough, Ian's question instead stumped Morgana as she asked in return.

Then, she looked at Ian as if he were a fool for asking such an obvious question.

"I don't mean that..."

Seeing that judgmental look on her face, Ian twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What I mean is..."

He paused, became a little solemn, and looked at her intently,

"What is a Siren like you doing in this Arcane Highland?"

After all, Arcane Highland was a human settlement, and as far as he knew, no other intelligent races were allowed inside.

So, he was quite curious why Morgana was suddenly here and even allowed in this ruin exploration.

However, although Ian asked calmly, Morgana was anything but calm.

"Swish!"

As soon as Ian pointed out her race, Morgana became extremely serious.

Then, without waiting for a second, she suddenly took out the staff she had put aside before, flaring up her dense mana and distorting the calmness once again.

"What do you mean, Sir Wizard? I don't understand."

She then asked Ian in a cold voice that almost felt like it came from hell.

Ian could feel that she was about to go all out, as she was conjuring up her spell once again, ready to fight to the death.

'Huh? Did I make a mistake?'

Ian was surprised to see such a violent reaction from her. Then, he suddenly realized that maybe, she never thought anyone could find out about her true identity.

After all, he also wouldn't have known if not for those eyes and her name that gave her identity away.

"I mean, what is a Siren with an Abyssal Bloodline doing in this place?"

However, Ian wasn't someone who was afraid of a fight. Not to mention, he had just received a massive boost in his power.

There was no way he would get afraid of her just like this.

But, if possible, he didn't want to fight here. After all, those scrolls, crystals, and herbs were very important to him.

So, before Morgana could express her surprise or attack him, he added,

"And like I said, don't use your spell here. I don't want you to destroy anything here. And besides..."

Ian looked at Morgana up and down dramatically and questioned with interest,

"Are you sure you want to fight? After all, it seems you are poisoned."

He finally noticed the red hue all over her body, which seemed to increase as she released her mana.

Despite being no expert in poison, he could still guess this much after seeing her condition. Although he still had no idea what kind of poison it was.

"Hmm? Are you kidding, Sir Wizard? What do you mean I am a Siren? And why would I be poisoned? Why can't I understand anything you say?"

The more Ian revealed her secret, the more Morgana became anxious as she practically began to regulate her mana forcibly while seemingly asking Ian in doubt.

Previously, although she did fire that spell at Ian, it wasn't her full effort. After all, she was poisoned so badly and didn't want to accelerate its progress even more.

But now that her identity had been revealed by the stranger in front of her, she had to do everything to silence this person or at least make sure he wouldn't spill the beans outside.

'I can't afford to take the risk.' She thought solemnly.

"Hmm?"

And of course, although it was faint and appeared only for a brief moment, Ian felt her murderous intent keenly, causing his easygoing attitude to shift 180 degrees in a second.

"Girl, do you want to die?"

Ian never liked someone showing murderous intent toward him.

So, as soon as he felt it, his voice suddenly became deep and extremely cold, as if it had come from hell.

Moreover, he didn't even wait for Morgana to say or do anything, as he directly released his own murderous intention along with his strong mental power, attacking Morgana in an instant.

'Only a fool waits for you to attack.'

Ian thought with a serious look.

"Ugh..."

Such a shift in Ian and the sudden attack was so fast that Morgana was caught off guard.

So, although she was on guard, Ian's mental attack still pierced through her fragile mind, causing her to spill blood unconsciously from the edge of her lips.

Moreover, her spell was also interrupted, making her vulnerable.

"Inferno Burst!"

And Ian wasn't someone who would become a beta just because he saw a beautiful girl in front of him.

If you dared to show murderous intent, even a bit, toward him, then no matter who it was, he would surely make that person regret it.

So, while Morgana was still delirious, Ian immediately chanted the First Ring Spell with the staff in his hand, conjuring a fiery circle of flame encircling Morgana within.

"Wait, wait... Sir Wizard, I think there is a misunderstanding..."

The situation suddenly worsened as Morgana found herself engulfed inside a fiery inferno that could melt even the strongest object.

Moreover, since her affinity was with water, she was quite weak against a pure fire elemental attack.

"Girl, there is no misunderstanding. Let this be a lesson for your ignorance so that you won't make such a silly mistake in the future."

Ian didn't care about Morgana's sudden plea, but directly fired the First Ring Spell 'Inferno Burst' in full.

This was the first time he was using this spell after reaching the First Ring level, so it was still not at its full power.

Moreover, he also restricted the range of the spell, engulfing only Morgana's figure as he didn't really want to destroy other things.

"Stop! Tidal Wall!"

Bang!

Morgana never thought Ian could be so ruthless as he directly fired such a deadly attack at her.

So, in her haste, she managed to conjure a wall of water, covering herself in a protective barrier while asking Ian to stop.

"Ugh... wait..."

However, Inferno Burst wasn't that easy to guard against, as her tidal barrier instantly disappeared just from the contact while it headed towards her unabated.

'Damn it... I was careless... ugh... I am so stupid... why did I have to become hostile to him at this time?'

Morgana cursed her stupidity as she practically brought this upon herself.

After all, she knew Ian was extremely strong and yet she managed to piss him off.

Although that was because of her special situation, it was still quite unwise of her to lose her cool like this.

So, while cursing herself, she finally took out a glistening gem from her mana ring, breaking it apart by force.

Now, she could only rely on external aid as she neither had the time nor the ability to stop the attack.

'If only I weren't poisoned.' She thought with bitterness while looking at the crumbling gem in her hand with reluctance.

Swish!

Suddenly, after she broke the gem, a transparent crystal barrier appeared around her, shielding her completely from the Inferno attack.

However, although she appeared fine inside, she was still affected as the blood from the corner of her mouth spilled even more.

'No, the poison is spreading too rapidly...'

Then to her dismay, she realized that the poison on her body was spreading rapidly through her mana, turning the skin on her entire body into a red and pink hue.

"Woah? You have quite a few treasures with you."

The only thing that happened in her favor was that after the initial attack, Ian stopped his spell.

After all, his main motive was to make sure she understood the consequences of her actions.

After all, if he really tried to kill her, he could have just done that easily. There was no need to do it like this.

"Ugh... Sir Wizard... I am sorry. I was just startled that I was exposed by you. I really have no ill intention."

Morgana calmed down her agitated mood caused by the poison and apologized to Ian, trying to stop this farce.

Now, she was in such a pinch that she didn't care whether her identity would be revealed. She just wanted to leave.

"Yeah, you attack me twice while having no ill intention. I will be really afraid if you do have one in that case."

Ian said in a slightly mocking tone, causing Morgana to twitch her mouth. But she really couldn't say anything, as that was indeed the case—although the second time, she didn't even have time to attack.

Just when she didn't know how to get out of this predicament, suddenly a violent force shook the entire Tower they were in.

Boom!
