Passerby Villain In A Wizard World-Chapter 255: Flushed

"Girl, I'll believe it if you stop trying to seduce me."

Ian also smiled at Morgana and joked, causing her to blush profusely.

"You..."

Morgana was really at her wit's end—this guy was too hateful.

One moment he was attacking her as if trying to kill her, then the next he was teasing her like a scumbag.

"...just wait a while, I will repay this favor of yours..."

Feeling her mood begin to shift under the influence of the poison, Morgana stopped arguing and sat directly on the floor.

Then, without saying thank you, she directly ate the petal of the Lustbane Lily and started refining it with her mana.

She didn't care that Ian was still with her in the same chamber.

Their attitude towards each other was weird.

'Sinner's Bloom, huh? This poison isn't that easy to cure.'

Ian thought while looking at Morgana, who had closed her eyes.

As far as he knew, Sinner's Bloom was a type of curse poison that was extremely difficult to remove using ordinary methods.

Besides forcing it out, the only other option was to use rare herbs like Lustbane Lily to concoct a potion or elixir named Petal of Purity.

Even then, it took refining a few of them to completely resolve the issue.

Of course, there were other things that were extreme yang that could help remove it, like the 'Breath of the First Flame,' his system had just mentioned.

'Isn't this plot too toxic?'

Ian thought bitterly after understanding the ins and outs from the clues he had.

Honestly, he hated this kind of plot the most.

'I'm capable enough to get girls myself. Do I need to rely on this kind of thing?'

Ian showed clear disdain and diverted his gaze away from Morgana's figure, now perspiring with heat, a red hue covering her body.

As far as he knew, in the Arcane Passage, there was no such thing. There was no mention of Morgana getting poisoned by aphrodisiac.

But now, here she was in front of him in such a situation.

Unfortunately, he had his principles and wasn't someone whose brain was below his belt.

'Forget it. Let's quickly pack these things up. Otherwise, they might get destroyed.'

The hanging garden was still swaying unstably and on the verge of collapse. So, he had to be fast.

"Swish!"

As soon as Ian faced the shelves lining the wall of the tower, he waved his hand, flaring up his mana and drawing all the items toward him in a powerful surge.

But just before they could collide with him, every single object vanished—mysteriously, as if they had been teleported away in an instant.

"An Arcane Grotto is indeed useful. Fortunately, my soul is strong enough to handle it now."

Ian mumbled, feeling quite satisfied after seeing the scene before him.

Not surprisingly, the treasures that had just disappeared into nowhere were now all inside his Arcane Grotto, the rare artifact he got from Dornar.

After his soul power increased, he could already use this artifact to open the treasury room inside and suck all those things in easily.

There was no need to put them individually into the mana ring like before.

Ian even sucked in the cauldrons, the brewer, and even the workbenches.

'They'll be destroyed anyway. At least I have use for them.'

Ian thought.

He was definitely not greedy.

'Now, let's go and look for that bastard. I don't know where the heck he disappeared to.'

Ian thought of Ignysyl, gnashing his teeth. That little dragon was too unstable. He had to discipline him thoroughly this time.

"Shreeeekkk!"

Just when he was about to leave Morgana alone and head outside, the barely stable tower suddenly shook again, followed by a long shriek, as if something fast was approaching in his direction.

"Ian, watch out!"

Then came Morgana's sudden shout, followed by a loud bang.

"Shreeeekkk!"

Then Ian suddenly saw a transparent barrier appear in front of him, which counterattacked the long thorny tendril that appeared out of nowhere.

"Crestfall!"

After defending against the sudden attack, Morgana quickly stood up from her position and flared up her mana, ready to blast the tendrils out of the tower.

"It's the Sylvan Warden, a peak Tier 1 Elemental—be careful."

She didn't forget to remind Ian, as she was genuinely grateful for his help.

Just one petal from that Lustbane Lily had quickly settled the poison's unrest, allowing her to stand up again.

So, she decided to help him in her own way.

"Okay, stop! Can you please avoid jumping to conclusions all the time?"

But to her surprise, Ian suddenly waved his hand, canceling the protective artifact she had conjured in front of him.

"Wha—"

She wanted to stop him, but the next scene left her dumbfounded as she saw Ian suddenly caressing the dense vine that was floating in his direction.

Only now did she understand that this Elemental Sylvan Warden was actually under Ian's control.

"Girl, you're quite a funny one, huh."

Ian looked at the gawking expression on Morgana's face and teased her, making her blush.

What she thought was help turned out to be a silly mistake on her part. Now, she felt like finding a hole and crawling inside.

'So embarrassing!' she thought.

As the Queen of the Siren Tribe, this was the first time she had ever felt this embarrassed—and in front of a man, no less.

"S-Sorry, I-I thought... You were in danger..."

Morgana said a little embarrassingly. Honestly, she should have at least guessed this.

After all, Ian was inside the tower all alone while the Sylvan Warden was doing nothing outside, as if on guard.

"I don't know how many times you've said sorry already."

Ian mumbled, then ignored the embarrassed look on Morgana, looked at the vine, and asked,

"Did you do what I said?"

"Shreekkk!"

To his question, the vines swung in a beautiful arch and suddenly took out a shimmering mana ring out of nowhere, handing it into his hands.

"Good, good. That's what I'm saying."

Ian scanned the mana ring in his hand and beamed with a smile. Then, he immediately transferred all those herbs inside his Arcane Grotto.

Although they were roughly plucked out, they could still be planted again if a good caretaker was there. And he already had one in front.

"Okay, just like I promised you before, I will take you out of this place. Let's go."

Ian said with a smile, causing the vine to dance with joy as it quickly retracted from the tower, as if waiting for Ian outside.

"What are you looking at? Let's go. I don't think this place can hold on much longer."

Ian then turned to Morgana, who was standing there stupidly, and asked.

In fact, there was a reason why he was quite tolerable to this girl, and the sudden Quest he got wasn't the only one.

He had some plans for this girl.

Of course, it wasn't that kind of plan.

"Oh... okay, sure..."

Morgana nodded to Ian hurriedly and quickly followed him out amid the shaking of the tower.

'He is quite... different...'

While following Ian out, she looked at his tall visage, feeling that this guy was quite unique.

He seemed caring, yet somehow calculating.

He wasn't an enemy nor a friend.

But she couldn't stop this feeling of closeness she was getting from him after such a brief encounter.

'Is this the effect of Sinner's Bloom?'

She couldn't help but doubt, as she for sure knew she wasn't like this.

After all, as a queen—although a young one—who had been betrayed by her own people, poisoned, and hunted down, she had every reason to be on guard around others.

This wasn't like her.

It was just that she felt confused due to the effect of her poison, that was definitely it.

She confirmed.

'Let's not lose the way.'

She thought carefully, clearing up her mind, and safeguarding herself from another poison outburst.

"If you are done with your musings, why don't you leave this garden now? I have some things to do here."

Just after Morgana cleared up her doubt, she heard Ian's words in front.

Only now did she realize that she had already followed him outside the tower through the door that had been closed before.

In front of her, the once lush garden, filled with countless herbs, was now barren, empty, with nothing but an old tree standing alone, its swinging vines hanging around it.

"Okay, I will wait for you down there."

Feeling Ian's eyes scanning her, she hurriedly replied and quickly went down the cloud stairs that were somehow still floating around.

'What the... What did I even mean by saying I'll wait for you down there?'

She suddenly thought, her face heating up.

Then, she quickly shook her head, trying to play it cool, but her steps were just a little too fast to be casual.

Poor girl, it seems she didn't manage to control her emotions after all.
