My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 231: Explosion

Aur observed the unfolding scene with a furrowed brow, his thoughts churning as he struggled to comprehend what was happening.

Despite his confusion, he remained patient, but a little sense of uneasiness was gnawing at him.

Deep down, he couldn't shake the feeling that the future he was witnessing might not be as accurate as he had initially believed.

The supposed "Aur" and the first elder travelled and reached a golden-haired man who was fighting against two old men emitting the unmistakable strength of tier two wizards.

Although William was at a disadvantage, he fought valiantly, like a knight in shining armour.

"William, today your end is near," the first elder snickered.

Hearing this, William turned towards the first elder with a calm expression on his face.

"You are right, your end is near," Before he could even finish talking suddenly his blue pupils contracted as he saw countless swords hanging high in the sky, launching towards him.

"You are too arrogant, William, and you are going to pay a price for this," the first elder said with a sneer.

This was a tier three spell that he had acquired from the metal demon inheritance, and its power was terrifying. Even Noah, a veteran in the early tier three wizard realm, couldn't handle it, let alone a junior who had just entered the tier two wizard realm.

As expected, in just a moment, William's body was riddled with countless swords, and his injuries accumulated, forming a pool of blood underneath him.

"Argh," William screamed at the top of his lungs, despair etched on his face.

"Damn it."

The pain was simply too much for him to bear. If he looked down, he could even see his internal organs, a sight that filled William with terror.

"I will die like this." In that moment, he despaired, feeling the excruciating pain of his body being torn apart by the swords. All bravado and facade melted away, as if a cold bucket of water had been thrown on him in the winter season.

This wasn't a fairy tale where the hero could take care of all the enemies and uphold his justice. William had always considered himself a protagonist ever since he had gotten that opportunity and even reached high-grade metal spells from his awakening ceremony. He had thought of himself as one of those heroes, unafraid of anyone and able to do whatever he wanted.

Except, of course, for the fact that this was reality, and he couldn't act as arrogantly as he currently was.

"Please… don't kill me," he said in an extremely weak voice, the fear of death completely numbing his mind.

The first elder was a little stunned to hear William's feeble voice.

"Hehe, all your pretentious acts are gone now?" the first elder muttered. Just as he was about to wave his hand and kill William, a voice resonated in the clouds.

"Spare him and leave."

The first elder was stunned to hear this. However, in front of the voice of the sky, he could only grit his teeth and bow helplessly.

"Yes, Lord Sky," he said, his voice resonating with respect as he waved his hand. The pattern in his eyes dimmed, and with a flicker, the countless swords that had once riddled William's body vanished into thin air.

"You are a fortunate young man," The first elder gave one last look to William before leaving.

As the first elder and Aur departed, leaving William behind, he collapsed to the ground. Violent coughs wracked his body, and blood spilled from his lips, his expression contorted in agony and fear.

"Kid, you have luck on your side," came a soothing voice from within the mist that surrounded William. Though he strained to see the figure's face, it remained obscured, adding an air of mystery to the encounter.

"Thank you for saving me," William managed to say, his voice trembling with the lingering fear of death. "I vow to seek vengeance against those who dared to harm me. Senior, would you do me the honour of accepting me as your disciple?"

"Alright, I have saved you, and now you must pay me an equal amount," Lord Sky's gentle voice rang in William's ears, leaving him stunned.

"What can I repay you with?" William asked, his confusion evident.

"You tell me, what is your life worth?" Lord Sky replied.

"What is my life worth?" William fell into a state of bewilderment, unable to comprehend the words of the elder before him.

"I thought he saved me because he wanted to take me in as a disciple, but it seems I was wrong?" William's confusion deepened as he looked at Lord Sky.

"Forget it, since you don't know what your life is worth, then I will take away your high-grade mental space," Lord Sky said lightly.

William felt a chill run down his spine as he perspired profusely, his hair standing on end and the aura of death looming larger.

Before he could even react, he saw a large hand extending towards him, and in an instant, his vision turned blank.

Aur, watching from a third-person perspective, shook his head with a sigh.

"Is this how it ends?" The vision began to blur, reducing everything from corpses to bloodstains to mere patches of light.

Suddenly, Aur heard a terrifying "boom" that shook heaven and earth. Everything in the village was wiped away, engulfing the entire area. Not only that, but even the wilderness was affected, losing at least one fourth of its entirety.

"What happened-" Aur's eyes widened to their limits as he tried to take in the scene, but in the next moment, his vision changed, returning him to his previous room.

"What was that?" he muttered in a strange tone, his mind reeling with questions. The familiar ceiling reflected in his eyes as Aur stood up from his comfortable bed.

"That terrifying explosion," Aur's crimson eyes narrowed as he contemplated the implications. "Even a tier four wizard might not be able to withstand the backlash of such an explosion. But who could have caused such a thing?"

Various ideas formed in his mind, but without a solid foundation, they were all meaningless conjectures.

The sense of urgency in Aur's heart intensified.
