My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 253: Lord Sky takes action

The beast tide slowly retreated one by one in an orderly manner, akin to disciplined soldiers, leaving onlookers stunned and utterly perplexed.

Just moments ago, they had been bloodthirsty, but now they were retreating as if they were part of a well-organised military unit.

Amidst the confusion, a man materialised out of thin air, his gaze fixed on the receding tide of beasts.

"Weird," he muttered, his tone tinged with an air of curiosity.

The man appeared to be an average adult, clad in a black robe that concealed his entire form, save for a faint flame-shaped mark on his forehead. Despite his unassuming appearance, there was something peculiar about him that set him apart.

However, what truly baffled observers was the fact that this seemingly ordinary man was suspended in the air. Flying was a feat beyond the reach of ordinary individuals.

Even wizards, with all their magical prowess, could not easily escape the pull of the earth's gravity.

While there were spells designed for aerial movement, they were limited in their effectiveness, allowing at most a glide through the air. Explore new worlds at m,v l'-NovelBin.net

True flight, escaping the gravitational pull of a planet, required to have gaseous mana within one's mental space.

So this man was undoubtedly a tier four wizard!

Who could it be except for Lord Sky, with whom Noah had initially made a deal?

Lord Sky surveyed the herds of beasts with excitement flickering in his eyes. However, his interest lay not in these poor beasts, but in one particular creature hidden among them—a beast whose pupils moved warily shimmered with intelligence.

"Has this beast gained a complete soul?" he pondered aloud, a hint of excitement in his voice. "Those damn bastards dared to cut off the source of life in this place, and no lifespan spell can be born naturally here because of it. Eventually, I'll run out of natural lifespans, though it's plenty for now."

Lost in thought, Lord Sky moved silently through the air. Even the ferocious beasts paid him no heed, as if he were invisible.

He swiftly reached the largest wolf hidden within the herd, his finger pointing slightly at the massive wolf with its blue fur and yellow stripes.

At that moment, Fenrir, who had been gazing at the wall with a contemplative expression, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A sense of imminent danger gripped his entire being, as if death were about to claim him in the next heartbeat.

A beast's intuition was keener and swifter than that of a wizard's, honed by their existence in the wilds, where survival depended on split-second decisions made on the precarious edge between life and death.

Without hesitation, Fenrir spun around and bolted, his form transforming into a crackling ball of lightning as he shot into the air.

"Hmph," Lord Sky sneered disdainfully, a small cloud forming at his fingertips and hurtling toward Fenrir at a terrifying speed.

Within a hundred-metre radius of the cloud's path, all nearby beasts withered and perished in an instant. The cloud seemed to teleport, closing the five-kilometre gap to Fenrir in the span of a single breath.

Awooo!

Fenrir unleashed a thunderous roar, his eyes ablaze with red fury as he gathered all his strength. Lightning crackled around his form as he released a breath of beam of lightning from his open jaws, aiming it directly at the approaching cloud.

The cloud and the ray of lightning collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a terrifying explosion that reverberated throughout the entire area.

In an instant, a radius of ten kilometres was engulfed in devastation, as beasts were obliterated, reduced to mere fragments by the sheer force of the blast; even some parts of the wall, which were as far as twenty kilometres from the site, were affected by it.

"Eh?"

All who witnessed the explosion stood stunned, their faces pale with shock as they beheld the cataclysmic display before them, cold sweat trickled down their backs.

Even Noah, typically composed, felt a shiver run down his spine at the ominous spectacle unfolding before him. "Has Lord Sky already taken action?" he mused, a glimmer of excitement flickering in his eyes.

"Leader, who is that?" one of the Elders queried, pointing towards a small black dot rapidly approaching them, growing larger with each passing moment.

Noah remained composed, raising a hand to signal silence. They waited patiently as the figure, adorned with long black hair and draped in black robes robes and a symbol of a cloud on it, drew closer with an unassuming common presence.

All the Elders' pupils dilated not because of the presence, but upon seeing the person effortlessly traversing the air as if it were solid ground.

"Lord Sky," Noah greeted with a respectful bow, a smile gracing his lips.

However, Lord Sky remained expressionless, his demeanor veiled with an internal irritation.

"Don't disturb me," he reprimanded curtly before vanishing into thin air.

Noah smiled bitterly at the abrupt departure, exchanging glances with the Elders.

"Lord Sky's mood must be ruined because of something," Noah remarked lightly, preparing to depart himself.

"Wait, Leader, what should we do now?" one of the Elders inquired.

"Do I need to tell you? Integrate all those powers that have come to our village and make them members," Noah responded firmly.

"But they might not be loyal—"

"With Lord Sky on our side, who will dare to disobey?" Noah's words hung in the air as he too vanished from sight.

Leaving the Elder bitter, the most bitter, however, was definitely the first Elder, as he was truly frustrated.

Aur looked at these scenes silently, as he could already guess that these events would likely occur. With a tier four wizard, the beast tide from the resources in the wilderness couldn't grow enough to even threaten him.

However, there was a harvest that made even Aur have a smile on his face.

"Muscle system."

The gain to his attribute was too bountiful; Aur had directly increased his attribute to nine point ninety-nine!

He was only a single stat point away from reaching the tier two realm.

It wasn't like he hadn't tried to absorb more; however, even after devouring a peak tier one ogre, which granted him the most stat points, his attribute didn't increase. This was a bottleneck!
