My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 267: Terrifying Strength: Punched to Death

"These…"

The punch collided with the barrier of metal he had set up, producing a resounding dong sound that reverberated throughout the area.

The Head Guard's eyes widened as he felt the rapidly draining mana in his mental space. The green mana was barely twenty percent left from the initial twenty-two percent.

That meant a whopping two percent was drained from just taking a single hit from Aur.

Aur sneered, "If you can take my punch, then I will punch again and again. Let's see how long these turtle shells can last."

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The Head Guard's mood turned pensive as he heard these sounds ringing in his ears, his expression becoming extremely serious.

"Damn it, if I don't do something, then I might really be in trouble next." With a deep helplessness, he extended his hand and a silver light passed through the barrier, attacking Aur.

Aur slightly paused and released his terrifying blood and Qi, melting the entire silver light just as it got close to him.

"This is impossible. Although that spell was only tier one, only a tier two defence can defend against it," the Head Elder's eyes gradually grew in horror.

He only had two tier spells in his arsenal: one was a defence and another was a speed type, while all the other spells were tier one.

Although with his green mana, these spells could display much more power, it was still within the rankings of a tier two.

No matter how powerful you are, you still have to follow the laws of the world. A tier one spell could never produce power greater than its own tier.

The Head Elder didn't have the means to compete with Aur at all, and seeing the rapidly depleting mana reserve, a bitter smile crept across his lips.

"Just who are you monsters?"

Dong!

With a final punch, all the mana in his mental space was drained and the spell promptly stopped.

His eyes were filled with regret as he saw the fist expand rapidly and his world turned blank.

"Ho." Aur retracted his fist with a satisfied expression on his face as he looked at the half crushed body of the once-mighty tier two wizard.

He looked at his bloody fist with a somewhat surreal gaze.

"He was a little weaker than I expected," Aur muttered in a strange tone. Truly, the man was quite weak; with just a few punches, the head guard, a tier two wizard, was dead.

According to the system, his strength was still tier two and should be in the early stage.

The head guard, on the other hand, was in the mid-tier two wizard realm, but he was dead before he even knew it.

Sure, the head guard spent some mana pursuing Aur, but that didn't mean his strength had decreased.

At most, it would have allowed him to endure more of Aur's punches, but he would still be dead with just a few more blows.

"Hmm?" Aur's mind swirled with thoughts as he quickly formulated a conjecture.

His entire body had reached the tier two realm; his simple punches wielded power comparable to tier two, and even his body's natural defence was at a tier two level, the speed, senses and many more have also reached tier two.

Every aspect of Aur's being had advanced to the tier two realm, and with the strengthening of the cells in his body, the limits of his physical capabilities were growing.

In the village, tier two wizards rarely possessed tier two spells, primarily because there were not many resources available.

This wasn't apparent when Aur was in tier one because tier one spells were relatively common. However, the cost of a tier two spell was terrifying.

Not even the wealth Aur currently possessed from the gifts of countless elders and Noah, along with the deals from those landlords, could cover the cost to refine a tier two spell.

Some of the Elders didn't even have a tier two spell. The head guard, ranking among the tier two in the village, had relatively higher status, but even he possessed just two tier two spells.

The resources of the village were simply not enough to provide for all the Elders with cultivation, let alone spells, which was a financially draining project.

Thinking of this, Aur tightened his fist.

"Even if the village pursues me, I have the confidence to escape and fight back now." However, Aur wasn't going to leave the wilderness and escape to the outside world where the dangers were unknown.

The most terrifying thing was unknowns.

Aur's gaze returned to the half corpse of the head guard and extended his hand, his crimson pupil flashing with the reflection of a small black flame in the shape of a hand in the centre of a circle.

Swish!

A black palm materialised in the mid-air and swiftly entered the body of the man.

Aur sensed the changes and quickly caught a spell from the mental space.

The black hand became unstable.

If he wanted to take another spell, not only would it not succeed, but he might also lose the spell he was holding on to as well.

In a swift moment, the black palm firmly grabbed the spell and came out of the body of the head guard.

The spell that was caught by his thieving hand was in a silvery pattern intertwined in a cobweb, resembling to a sword pattern.

Aur deactivated the spell, leaving only the one caught from the head guard.

With a drop of his golden blood, it entered his mental space and settled among the countless other spells rotating around his mental space, suspended in the air.

"Let's return to the village and quietly wait for those people to attack the village leader from the future; I saw they seem to have succeeded in doing so," Aur thought to himself.

He had no plan to join the first elder; he would watch from the sidelines and see how it all unfolded.

Maybe he could gain some benefits from it. It was better than escaping the entire place and going to an unknown location.

"If I could collect the resources needed to construct a tier two devouring spell, then I will be able to rapidly make progress again," this was his main objective.
