Return of the Class 8 Mage

Dark Hood (2)
‘What is this place....?’
After tunneling diagonally, the outside is reached.
To his surprise, it looked completely different from what he had imagined.
It was nothing, but the wide-open ‘datar’ prairie land.
There was nothing, except a vast meadow filled only with grass.
There are cliffs all around.
Has the earth been raised?
“No, wait.”
It doesn't rise.
It was floating in the air in the first place.
That is, a piece of earth being ‘hover’ in the air.
A bundle of clouds nearby had convinced him.
It was an earth ‘hover’ that had never been heard of or seen before.
What is this place?
‘A human?’
Ian has recovered from the confusion.
He found someone in the distance.
A man was sitting on the edge of a cliff.
At first glance, it looked like a human.
He was sitting in a very dangerous way.
‘What is it?’
Ian was a bit confused. He came to this place chasing his curiosity and felt that something was going to happen here. But, he had discovered strange things that were beyond belief. The vast and floating meadows were as high as the clouds and even unrecognizable humans.
“This clearly looks suspicious.”
He thinks it's suspicious.
This would be a normal reaction to expect.
However, his mind had no such feeling at all.
Although it was difficult to explain, he felt peaceful.
With the entire scene appearing in his view,
And even that guy.
‘Is it magic?’
There is a high chance that that is what will happen. No, he's sure.
The problem was that even though he was sure it was magic, he could not handle it. Ian is not easily fooled by mischief. At least, once he detected magic, he could always handle it. However,
“He can't feel it.”
Magic power cannot be detected.
It can only be overcome if there is physical evidence.
There are only two reasons in such a case.
It was not a magic effect to begin with
Or
‘The magician is much stronger than me.’
Ian is a 6th class magician.
He even had 8th grade knowledge.
No one would have a magic ability stronger than Ian. At least there will be no one among the humans.
‘If this is a magic effect,’ then there is only one answer. The man who was still sitting on the edge of the cliff with his back showed, ‘people who looked like humans’, that man must be this magician.
‘At the very least, he will be comparable to the old me.’
It must have been someone like Ian's ex, that is, someone who was on par with an 8th class mage or with infinite possibilities to become greater than that. That would be the only way to really cheat Ian like this.
‘What if he antagonizes me ...’.
There's nowhere to run.
That means a lifetime of betting to escape that person.
Gulp down!
Unknowingly, Ian swallowed his dry mouth. It was an unusual physical reaction for him throughout his life, including the previous one. Excluding the naive years of his life, it was probably his first time.

“Please allow me to ask you some questions.”
Ian spoke as he approached the person sitting on the edge. Of course, he kept his distance. As his voice was amplified by the melted mana, he could easily be heard at that distance.
“Where am I? And who you are.”
Friends or enemies.
Or not really.
What this man wants right now.
He has to find out his true identity.
Only then could he take the right action.
No, not even before that, no,
‘Ingin know.’
Ian is confident.
Ian, in his previous life, was unrivalled.
Even now, he had immense strength.
But, someone stronger than him.
Not a little, but a mile.
What identity?
It can't be human.
‘Dragon?’
That would be the most likely candidate.
From dragon books to bloodline powers, the,
Isn't there a lot of connection?
‘The first witch?’
That's the unique ‘concept’ Ian adapted in this life.
The possibility is also incredible.
Because the existence of this entity is real.
‘God?’
Ian doesn't believe in gods.
But he sees it as a possibility.
If not the dragon, or the first witch,
Isn't the answer on top of that?
“……”
The man did not respond. He just sat there with his back to Ian. Is it because it looks so calm? Some of the man's appearance traits caught Ian's attention.
‘Hair color is the same as me.’
Long hair, flowing, light brown, light brown,
It's not grand, but it's certainly not very common.
He even wore a worn robe.
Instead, it looked like a piece of straw mat.
“I'll ask again ...”
[Rumbatts.]
Ian subconsciously hesitated at that moment when a voice came, flowing out from that entity.
‘Dragon speech....?’
The sound does not come from the vocal cords.
It was also not a sound that could be heard by the ears.
It was a controversial echoing sound of where and thought.
He was convinced that it was a unique characteristic of the dragon's utterance.
[Spellb.]
The entity continued to speak.
It was the same language as the dragon's speech.
It's just that it doesn't seem to be dragon speech magic.
Maybe, it is ‘timescale’ dragon?
[Big-drakoshy.]
It was a phrase consisting of only three words.
Ian could not interpret it.
Except last sentence ‘Rah-drakoshy’.
‘Drakoshy, dragon. Rah-drakoshy, the dragon.’
The problem is with the previous two words.
Rumbatts, and Spellggia.
What do they mean?
What to do on ‘naga’?
‘Rumbatts Spellggia Rah-draconisy.’
As expected, it was not dragon speech magic.
Rather, it was the everyday language of the dragons.
It seems like he wants to communicate something.
“I understand a little bit of dragon words, but not necessarily as good. If possible, can you speak in another language ... ”.
[Rumbatts, Spellggia, Ra-draconish.]
The entity that spoke the dragon language was read out as if to emphasize something. Rumbatts, Spellggia, Ra-drakoshy. Unknowingly, Ian repeated those words in his mind.

“…..Eh?”
That was true at the time.
The world began to collapse, the sky, clouds, and earth were floating, even the man with light brown hair.
Ian's hands, feet, and body as well.
It was as if the space in the illusionary world was disappearing.
‘What's up...’.
At the same time, Ian's eyes slowly closed.
It's hard to resist, but just trying to stay open is hard.
He could not understand it even when he closed his eyes.
Such helplessness had never been felt before.
After all, it was none other than Ian himself.
How strong is he?
that entity?
‘Who..
He was curious about the identity of the entity until the end.
Could it be one of the dragons as expected?
‘…..?’
Just before losing his consciousness, the entity turned around and looked at Ian.
It was the face of a middle-aged man with a frown.
A thought came to his mind as a result even though it was incompatible with the situation at hand.
‘How ugly ...’
This was the thought that appeared in Ian's subconscious.
Eventually, Ian lost his consciousness.
It was a world of unconsciousness filled with darkness.
How long has he been wandering around?
(What is that??)
It was a very familiar voice.
It was the voice of the Fairy Queen.
(Why are you like this?)
The voice rumbled explosively inside Ian's head.
(Man! Could it be that you are dead?)
Ian opened his eyes slowly.
Then he looked around as his eyes opened.
He was no longer in the floating grasslands of the earth.
Dungeon, he saw a dungeon outside the portal.
“Aak!”
Ian wrapped his head with his hands.
An incredible headache suddenly hit him.
‘What is it .... dream?’
No, no matter how hard he struggled, it did not seem to be a dream. Could the dream be so real? It must be a miracle and reality. If it wasn't real, there wouldn't be a throbbing headache.
(What are you doing anyway? Your mother kept pestering me, frantically figuring out what happened to you, and you didn't show up. I was so upset that I had to come!)
Ian opened the portal from the bedroom.
The door is locked, of course, and there is no key.
There was only the Fairy Queen in the room.
Perhaps, it was all in preparation for an unknown event.
“…..How long have I been? Here?”
(Must be more than half a day in human time.)
Ian could do nothing, but was confused.
Half a day, not an hour or two?
He hadn't expected it all this time.
(Well, hurry up and go outside so your mother doesn't break down the door every time.)
Ian didn't hear the Fairy Queen. Instead, he scanned the surroundings after starting the light spell. If it wasn't a dream, he would definitely find the tunnel he had dug.
‘Not here?’
But, there were no signs at all.
But, there were no signs at all.
That is, the tunnel that has been dug through the wall.
There are no tunnels, not even signs.
What the hell's been going on?
‘Cannot.’
Ian had already started to manage the situation calmly.
He had taken half a potion of elixir to pierce through the wall.
The small potion bottle was still inside the pocket of his robe.
It was full as if it was not touched at all.
‘Bulkah...’.
Likewise, the artifact he was wearing remained on top of the tower master's display panel. As if nothing had happened, as if no one had touched them, they remained there in an orderly manner.
‘Is it really a dream?’
He felt it was so ‘live’.
He had an expression on his face, which showed that it was hard to admit that it was a dream.
He just needs to verify it.
(Can't you hear me?)
“Retreat.”
(What?)
The kwang!
Once again, Ian started digging through the wall.
The direction of the excavation, magic, everything was the same as before.
It's just that he's faster.
That is, the speed at which he plowed.
The kwang! W-kwang! The kwang!
Pzzzzz……
The depth feels similar too. When he thought that he was at the same point, he felt a cold air from outside. He even looked at the sky. If anything was different, it was darker than before because half a day had passed.
The kwang!
Ian hurriedly exited through the tunnel after finally creating a wider gap. To agree with his expectations, prairie had to come to his sight. Clouds meet, ‘surfing earth’, with cliffs around the edges, namely.
“Definitely....!”
However, the scenery Ian expected to see, cliffs, clouds, and entities that could not be identified, did not exist anywhere.
The only place he saw was a dark forest.
He only saw the great wall of a castle in the distance.
The imperial capital, it was the castle wall of Green Riverdium.
It seemed to be located in the middle of a hill outside the imperial capital.
(What is this sudden prank? Have you gone crazy?)
The fairy who followed had shouted at him. He was unconscious just a moment ago.The same one had started destroying the wall as soon as he woke up. He should have been considered insane.
“……”
Ian did not say a word.
Instead, he began to enjoy the memories of the previous events.
That is, a real memory can be a dream.
The words of the dragon that the entity had spoken.
‘Rembatts, Spellggia, Rah-drakoshy.’
Then an extraordinary event happened. Instead, he felt an incredible enlightenment. The words of the dragon that he could not understand before, he seemed to be able to interpret them now. What the entity was trying to say, he now understood what they really meant.
‘Rumbatt.’
Never does.
‘Spellgia.’
Believe no.
‘Rah-drakonisy.’
Dragon.
‘Rumbatts Spellggia Rah-draconisy.’
Never believe, not a dragon.
***
It failed!
Ian has returned to his residence. After reassuring his family, he stayed for three whole days, flipping through the pages of the dragon book. He has temporarily suspended all planned activities and work.
That's what he's got to do.
That's what he's got to do.
It failed! It failed!
The more he turned the pages of the book, the more certain he became. That is, the earth is drifting, alien entities, all of which are not part of the dream. That's just natural. He has become very knowledgeable. He progressed from being able to read only words from the unknown dragon language, to having the knowledge to be able to see and interpret its meaning.
‘She still can't understand even 3% of it.’
How many dragon languages can be understood.
It's not something he should be fighting for.
“I haven't done anything.”
He didn't pay for it.
That's what he must be feeling right now.
No research was done outside of that.
The last research he did was a few months ago.
However, this transformation has already taken place.
Learning the reason is more important than anything.
‘Why the hell?’
There was no answer to that no matter how hard he tried.
It was a matter that was beyond Ian's common sense.
That is, entities, floating earth, and dragon language.
That's all, there's one common relationship.
‘Naga.’
From the dragon language books to the power of heredity, and the events that happened three days ago were all closely related to the dragon.
‘But then, believe not? Dragon?’
Dragon language, ‘language Naga’ has been reached. Dragon power from ‘Descendant’ has also been obtained. Is that all? The entity, which looked like a dragon, came face to face with it. But, don't believe the dragon?
“Hmmm..
Ian sank into deep thoughts for a moment.
Then he closed the dragon language book.
Isn't that a heavy book?
Closing it lightly will also be accompanied by a loud noise.
‘Let me think later. Then.’
Despite the fact that he had stopped all planned activities and work, there was still something he had to do today. He had to observe the public execution of Herbert Leon, the ruler of the Ivory Tower tower. It wasn't something he expected to do, but since the emperor planned to be there, he couldn't help but leave.
‘Maybe, this will be the starting line.’
Ian has brought so much change in the last 5 years. His mother is still alive, Douglas has become a friend, a rapid rise to a high-level witch, a change in the position of crown prince, and the growth of Oliver, etc. If possible, he believed that it would be best to just go with the anticipated flow, but his life had turned into a different tone.
‘Execution master tower.’
Read the latest chapter in the novel Only
However, nothing can compare to the importance of the event today. That's Ian's conclusion. The ruler of the tower of Ivory Tower, who was the 5th prince, the greatest supporter and leader of the Ragnards, was to be executed.
The implication is that Herbert Leon, who has survived for a very long time in his past life and is remembered as the master of the great tower of the Ivory Tower, is, it will be eliminated at different times in very different ways.
‘Actual start.’
Standing at the end, Ian adjusted his robe.
Gathering a hanging stick, he got up from his seat.
