My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 305: Almost meeting Noah, Heading North

"What a beautiful firework," Aur couldn't help but mutter, his eyes reflecting the terrifying sky-destroying force that seemed to engulf everything, although it only lasted for a moment.

This scene covered even more area than a nuclear bomb, though it lacked the distinctive mushroom cloud, manifesting instead as a brilliant burst similar to the sun.

Although it lasted for a blink, Aur had reached a level where he could capture images that only lasted a breath and vividly recall everything.

"With that, the village seems to have come to an end."

There was not much emotion in his eyes as he turned back, going deep into the wilderness.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, a loud shout came from the golden text.

"Your master William is probably dead," Aur chuckled.

"How is that possible…"

"You're not blind to the outside world, are you? Can you not see the huge explosion from the village? Do you think he has the ability to survive that?" Aur shook his head, travelling through the forest.

Lily became silent, and no voice came from the Golden Text, which made him shrug.

Aur still didn't dare to let the Golden Text settle in his mental space because that bastard Asmodeus definitely had a plan he wanted to execute. He didn't know what it was, but at least he could prevent it for now.

Thinking of this, Aur calmed down as the leaves rustled and only his blurring figure was left as he traversed the terrain.

Suddenly, his expression slightly changed.

"There is a presence that gives me a sense of danger?" Aur paused. This presence was extremely familiar, and he should have sensed it somewhere before as he recalled...

"Noah?"

Aur was momentarily stunned before he turned around and left, heading in the other direction.

A few minutes after he left, Noah appeared in the area and looked around.

"Strange, I felt like I sensed a presence here. Was I mistaken?"

Noah wasn't skilled in investigation.

Most of his time had been spent managing the village and using attack spells from sound magic ice magic, so he lacked expertise in detecting type-spell.

Although a few sound magic spells were good for investigation, he hadn't had the time to master them.

As for the ice magic, forget it. It was known for its offensive capabilities and had little to do with detection. Even if he wanted to make a killer move using his intermediate mastery, this attribute was simply not suitable for detection.

"Forget it," he soon shook his head, a hint of fear still reflected in his eyes.

If he hadn't left the village at that moment, the great sky-destroying explosion would have killed him. Luckily, his instincts had led him to leave, and now the village was destroyed.

"Hahaha, First Elder, now you can enjoy being the village leader in the afterlife," Noah said with some disdain and left the area.

Aur, who was carefully sensing the location of Noah, went in the exact opposite direction of him.

"This person is not simple, it's best not to interact with him…"

After all, Noah was a person who could threaten his existence. Not only did he have tier three natural sound magic spells, but he also had intermediate mastery in ice magic, so it would not be optimal to clash with him.

Although Aur still had the confidence to escape even if he was defeated, it was better to be safe than sorry.

The sun soon fell on the horizon, and the night began with the arrival of the moon.

"This should be an appropriate place to rest," Aur muttered as he patted the dust off the makeshift cave he had made.

The wilderness was a vast place, and although most of the beasts were gone after the beast tide, travelling through the area was still difficult, especially since he didn't know the way to get out of the wilderness.

He could only travel with the experience he had built and slowly explore the wilderness before finding his way out.

The village didn't have any map for getting out of the wilderness, and even if it did, Aur didn't have access to it.

"Luckily, I have this compass," Aur muttered, looking at the direction it was pointing.

This wasn't a normal compass; it was an artefact that pointed north by sensing the surrounding mana instead of the Earth's magnetic poles as in his previous life.

Of course, it also had the functions of tracking and many other features.

This compass was originally used by the head guard when he was chasing after Aur, but now it was in Aur's hands.

Aur's logic was simple. Since the village was on the northern side of the wilderness, as long as he kept walking north, he would eventually be out of the forest.

There could be many variables in this plan, but unfortunately, Aur had no other option.

As for Noah, he had gone south instead. Aur didn't know what Noah's plan was nor did he care, as long as he could find his way out.

"Let's light up the surroundings."

Feeling the darkness around him, Aur immediately used his mastery of the five elements to create a small fire that burned mana instead of firewood.

He then took out a cushion from his system storage and stared at the scorching fire.

"Muscle system."

Aur's eyes immediately focused on the muscle mass attribute.

"I wonder if my strengthening of the cells is the same as before."

Aur mumbled and cast the killer move: Nature Harmony, to reduce his presence to the minimum. Then he started to incorporate lightning into his body.

The lightning was swiftly circulated in his cells under a certain rotation which strengthened the cell.
