Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Chapter 172 - 172: Implied Danger

With Ron's shouting, the entire room suddenly fell silent as everyone's attention shifted to the central platform.

The platform in front where Ron stood closely resembled the one they had arrived at inside the Ignisia Tower seven days ago—a circular, elevated stage surrounded by intricate array patterns.

From the way they had entered before, Ian could already guess that it was a teleportation array.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to get stranded inside this Tower forever? Didn't I say to climb the platform fast? It is time to leave."

Seeing that everyone was still busy looking around, Ron reprimanded them in a bad mood.

After all the troubles he had endured and painstakingly survived in this barren place, all he managed to get were a few treasures related to a First-Ring Wizard.

There was no Ascension Material at all that was described in the news he got.

How could his mood be good?

It wasn't that he didn't find the place or the dead body of the thief he was looking for using the Blood Compass; it was that he was too late.

Whatever items had been inside were already looted. He inferred this from the old traces left around and the missing mana ring on the skeleton.

'Don't let me find out who that person was, otherwise...'

Ron gnashed his teeth in hatred. But he also knew that finding that person was nigh impossible.

And even if he did find them, the Ascension Material would have already been consumed. He was just showing impotent rage since all he got from this long journey was a Subjugation Pact that restricted him everywhere.

'What bad luck!'

"Umm... Sir, are we getting directly teleported to the Calvora Continent this time?"

Just when he was in a bad mood, Prince Ray, who was about to climb the teleportation platform, couldn't help but ask curiously.

From the way he looked, he seemed quite excited.

"What the hell are you thinking? How can you directly reach another continent with just this low-level teleportation array? Just stay in your place and stop yapping."

But what he got in return was Ron's annoyance and loud scolding, causing his face to darken. Since he was a prince, he had never been scolded like that before, not even by his father.

However, he couldn't say anything and could only obediently stand in the designated place as ordered.

'Ugh... I need to bring such stupid people along.'

Ron sighed, depressed, and ignored them for now. Then, as if he remembered something, he looked in Ian's direction.

'Hmm... He indeed managed to bring that girl along. He seems to know something about this tower too.'

He had already seen Aurora's figure in the distance when Ian and the others arrived.

Although he was surprised, he wasn't too concerned.

'Let's just let him be for a while.'

He thought maliciously while shifting his attention to the other qualified people who were hurriedly climbing the platform.

'Around 20 of them. Hmm... at least this mission is complete. I'll just

Ruther also sighed at Carl's fortune, causing his smile to grow even bigger.

"But in essence, you are still at the Third-Class Apprentice level since you haven't condensed your First-Ring spell yet. So, don't be impulsive."

Seeing that Carl seemed too proud, he quickly reminded him.

Mana Infusion did increase his realm and mental power to that of a First-Ring Wizard, but since it was an unconventional approach, he hadn't formed his First-Ring spell yet.

So, while Carl was definitely more powerful than a Third-Class Apprentice, he was still no match for a First-Ring Wizard.

'Yeah, I know. I'm not that stupid.'

Carl finally shifted his gaze away from Ian and stood in the place assigned to him by Ron, preparing to be teleported.

"Okay, just stand where you are and don't move. This array is different from before, and it can protect you during teleportation. But if you move, I won't care if you disappear into the void."

Ron warned after seeing that everyone was standing where they needed to be. Then he floated up and landed directly in the center of the array, positioning his feet just inside the central circle.

"Whoosh!"

And just as everyone finished standing in place, the array began to activate as if some mechanism had been triggered. Just like before, a white film covered the entire teleportation platform.

However, this time, besides the platform's protective barrier, each person was also surrounded by a thin white film individually for better protection.

"Don't worry and just relax. With the protection around, there's nothing to fear. It's now time to say goodbye to this continent."

Ian advised Lyra and Aurora with a smile, seeing them looking around curiously.

"Um!"

Just as they nodded at Ian's words, the array's procedure was finally completed, and a brilliant light engulfed them.

In the next instant, space distorted around them, and their figures vanished from the platform along with the others as they were teleported to their unknown destination.
