My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 197: Planting the seeds

"Guard these places, Cameron," Aur commanded.

"Yes, Elder," Cameron respectfully replied.

Aur then went directly towards the garden and slowly retrieved seeds from it.

"I guess it's time to plant these things, huh," Aur muttered as he took out some seeds from the bag. Among them were one red, one blue, two white, and one black seed and many other colours with some strange feeling to them.

Even as Aur held the seeds, he could feel a strange energy passing through them, prickling his skin.

Aur extended his hand forward, and his crimson eyes glowed as the ground was suddenly lifted without any obstacle, carving a two-metre square hole instantly.

He looked at the hole and calculated the distance between them before planting one blue and one red seed on opposite sides, far from each other.

"Hmm, this should do the trick," Aur thought with a calculating gaze as he started to supply mana to both seeds simultaneously.

The blue and red seeds started to shine brightly once Aur supplied them with mana. Even when he stopped supplying the blue mana, the seeds continued to glow, actively being nurtured by the mana in the surroundings.

Aur seemed to have triggered a new activation for the seeds. With a nod of his head, he jumped up and landed on the ground, closing the hole with the soil.

"Let's speed up the process," he thought as he continuously supplied his blue mana to the soil, which was instantly sucked in by the seeds like a black hole.

In just a few breaths, Aur's blue mana rapidly consumed strands of mana and was constantly used up.

When Aur looked at his mental space, his eyes widened with shock.

He hurriedly stopped his supply of mana.

"In just a hundred breaths of time, it almost emptied my light blue mana reserve!?" Aur's heart stirred at the thought.

His pupils contracted as he gazed at the spot where he had supplied his mana.

A small, twisted branch had already sprouted from the ground, emitting a hot and cold aura in a strange harmony.

Frostfire Sage!

It was a common ingredient used to refine many spells as a basic material.

Aur looked at it with a satisfied expression, but his heart stirred from the steep cost of using his mana to directly nourish it.

"Looks like I shouldn't do that later; the cost is not worth it," he muttered to himself. "Let the dense mana in the surrounding take its course naturally."

After this realisation, Aur planted all the seeds in the garden one by one. Unlike last time, he didn't get ahead of himself; instead, he simply activated the seeds with his light blue mana and then let nature take its course.

"It's time to train my body again," Aur declared with a smile on his face.

Returning to his own room, he saw Lucy already cleaning things up and had everything prepared.

"Hey, Cameron," Aur called out.

"Yes, Elder," Cameron answered promptly.

"Bring some mortal servants from the market and let them do the work. My personal maid is, after all, mortal, and in this grand residence, she cannot manage everything alone," Aur commented.

"It will be done in a moment's time, Elder," Cameron said respectfully. "I will depart right now."

"Good," Aur nodded in approval.

With that said, Aur returned to his room and began training his physique again.

"My next goal is to directly reach six points in my body and at the same time accumulate mana for my next breakthrough," he thought to himself.

As Aur immersed himself in physical training and mana accumulation, time flowed by in the blink of an eye.

…

William stood soaked in blood, blankly staring at the glowing red pattern in front of him, emitting a terrifying bloodthirsty aura.

"Was there really a right thing to do?" he muttered, looking at his blood-soaked clothes, still hearing the woman's screams of pain ringing in his ears.

"It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. You've refined the spell, which could significantly increase your combat power, especially since you're already a tier one wizard.

Your power will rise to a terrifying height once you use this spell, and with the true vampire bloodline, it will only be enhanced more and more even slaying a peak tier one wizard might not be difficult for you," Asmodeus' voice rang in his ears, causing William to nod in agreement.

"Okay, Asmodeus, if you say so," William muttered in a strange tone. But the screams of Angel as she cried in pain and the despair etched in her eyes constantly played in his mind.

Causing an invisible mental pressure for William without him even knowing it, he shook his head as he looked at the spell in front of him and sprinkled his own blood on it before letting it touch his forehead.

Boom!

Instantly, the spell entered and settled in his mental space, which was slightly filled with light blue mana.

William activated the spell with a thought, looking at a mouse in the distance. His blue eyes started to glow.

The mouse that lay on the table was instantly sucked dry, turning into a corpse in mere moments, with a tiny drop of blood essence floating in midair within a breath's time.

Just seeing the blood gave William a strange sense of excitement.

With a thought, it entered his body, and instantly, William could feel his blood and Qi slowly increasing, and even his body slowly strengthening.

"Tier one blood magic: Blood Devourer."

Feeling the strengthening effects, William was ecstatic, but his expression strangely twisted not long after.

The next moment he opened his eyes, he saw the rat in a spirit-like form staring at him with hatred.

"Eh!?" Before William could even react, it instantly attacked him, entering his body.

William's pupils rolled as he directly fainted lying on the cold floor of his basement.

After a long time, he finally stood up with a frown on his face.

"What just happened to me?"

"This is the consciousness of the rat attacking you, mixed with the resentment of these beings as well. No matter how weak the creature is, its resentment cannot be underestimated," Asmodeus said in his head. "Even if you have strength in the future, the resentment of the creature is very hard to get rid of."

"Then what should I do, Asmodeus?" William asked with a frown.

"For now, use the spell and upgrade your physique as much as possible with the true vampire bloodline. The effects of the consciousness affecting you will be minimised, and you can solve these problems later," Asmodeus advised.

"Alright," William nodded with a sigh.

"Master, why are you being gullible towards these bastards? He cannot be trusted at all," Lily suddenly interjected, her tone filled with resentment.

"You are right, Lily, but he can quickly increase my combat power while you can't," William simply replied, causing Lily to fall silent.

"You are really a brat, Lily," Asmodeus muttered inside the golden text.

"I know you primordial demons cannot be trusted. What type of scheme are you up to now?" Lily said with a frown.

Asmodeus remained entirely silent, not even bothering to reply.
