Ivor

Ivor was the Master of the Elemental Forging method, a personal tutor at the Academy of The Utra Nation, and mentor of Noah Balvan.

Upon his appearance he was described to be wearing ragged clothes like a beggar, full of holes and dark stains. He reeked uncomfortable odours and was covered in yellow dandruff and sweat. In one hand he would carry a large jug of expensive wine.

Before his decline he was a common noble who loved a beautiful woman. However since his status was not good enough she was married into another family. Following this he dedicated himself to his forging method to increase his power and after two years forged a dagger in the heroic ranks. Using lower ranked materials, breath and his own will. He unfortunately failed in his quest as he lacked the strength to stand up to a large size noble family.

His sea of consciousness was later irreparably damaged after attempting to forge a stronger weapon while being a human cultivator. Noah grew to admire his will to live long enough to pass on his inscription method, living through constant pain and not giving into insanity.

Noah became his direct disciple and sole heir to his inscription method. He cohabited with Noah, offering personal guidance throughout Noah's time in the academy and during his time as a hunter.

He was killed by Cecil Elbas while being interrogated after Noah Balvan fled The Utra Nation (ch 251).

The Elemental Forging inscription method Ivor passed to Noah became the foundation of Noah's personal inscription technique. It formed one of the bases of his cultivation journey, accompanying him throughout the human and initial heroic ranks by allowing him to forge inscribed items that surpassed his level. The Demonic Sword was repeatedly forged using this method and later improved using Noah's own inscription method.

Noah avenged his passing by killing both Thaddeus Elbas (ch 1029) and later Cecil Elbas (ch 1064) during his attack on the Royal Academy in the New Continent.
