My Muscle System in the Mage World

"I tried numerous ways to cure the poison. Unfortunately, I couldn't recover from the poison at all, no matter how I tried, dying with injustice and grievances."

Hanma's blue projection said with a sigh on its face.

Aur stood there like a tall mountain without speaking a single word, his expression impassive.

"What I showed you is my memory." Hanma started to speak in a monotonous tone again. "I will get to the point now. I don't care what you do with the inheritance as long as you promise me to kill and slaughter every single person in that village."

"I, Hanma, promise to give you all the inheritance of my peak tier three wizard." He extended his hand. "So, will you promise me?"

Aur looked at Hanma silently, his gaze narrowed, not speaking a single word. The blue figure of Hanma also stayed in a monotonous position with his hand extended awkwardly.

However, there wasn't even a flinch in its expression.

"As I thought," Aur sneered internally as he said, "I don't."

The blue figure of Hanma flickered as its eyes shined with a crimson colour.

"Then you are dea-"

Whosh!

Aur instantly moved, closing the distance with Hanma in the flicker of a moment, and casually punched.

As his fist travelled, the wind made tearing sounds.

Aur's fist directly travelled past the blue figure of the old man, directly creating ripples around his entire body.

He hurriedly stopped his fist in mid-air.

Bang!

The surrounding walls collapsed from the sheer wind current his punch had generated.

"You are dead," Hanma's blue figure mechanically turned back to Aur, as if he was a ghost without any physical body.

Instantly, Aur's instinct went haywire as two flying darts were shot towards him, aiming at his heart and the other at his brain.

Aur quickly side-stepped, barely dodging one, but the other caught him off-guard.

"Damn it."

He punched right at the nick of time, barely deflecting the arrow.

The moment his fist and the arrow made contact, Aur took a deep breath before barely being able to deflect the arrow to another location.

Shing!

As the arrow was deflected to the walls of the cave, it made a deep hole even in the cave wall.

"What was that?" Aur thought, his crimson eyes widened.

However, he wasn't given much time to contemplate at all as he felt a burning sensation behind his back; he hurriedly looked back to see a huge fireball that was coming at him.

At that split second, Aur directly opened his muscle system and put all the stat points he had into his muscle mass without any hesitation.

Aur charged at the fireball instead of retreating, directly punching it.

"I don't believe I can't tank it," he roared with a fierce expression.

Boom!

The ground rumbled with dust flying up in the air.

Aur was launched and crashed into the cave walls, breaking through and launched into the outside world.

The entire cave was scorched with the terrifying heat that charred everything, steamy smoke coming out from the ground as if it was being cooked.

Cough! Cough!

Aur vomited a mouthful of blood, his hand entirely charred from the sheer heat of the fireball.

"My internal organs..." His crimson eyes widened as he hastily stood up from the ground, using the tree beside him for support as he examined his wounds.

He opened his mouth, and the moment he did, a smoky stream emerged. His tissues were almost in a carbonised state, and his internal organs were charred black, particularly in his chest area. The damage was even more gruesome.

Externally, he appeared relatively unharmed, with only some scratches, blisters, and torn wizard robes that were all burnt from the fire, revealing almost his naked body. However, the same couldn't be said for the internal part of his body.

Occasionally, the acrid scent of his burning internal organs wafted into Aur's nose, causing him to frown.

In his hand materialised a vial containing red liquid, and Aur instantly popped open the lid, drinking it.

The moment Aur consumed the liquid, a surge of mana activated in his mental space, swiftly coursing through his body as it mingled with the red liquid. This infusion had a gradual effect, steadily elevating his natural regeneration.

"That was a bit too close," Aur muttered, his words punctuated by deep, relaxed breaths.

Cough!

Once again, he expelled a mouthful of blood, the dark red liquid staining the ground. His internal condition worsened, leading to internal bleeding.

Yet, Aur's recovery was at an astounding pace. One of the perks of possessing a robust physique was its inherent ability to self-heal. Despite the effectiveness of healing medicines and potions, they inevitably required time to activate and facilitate recovery.

Regardless of the grades or quality of the healing substances Aur was familiar with, still it took some time for the healing to actually occur, at least the one he knew about all took some time to take effect.

Hence, the advantage of having a formidable physique extended to swift self-healing, proving invaluable in critical moments.

Gradually, Aur recuperated enough to walk unaided. However, exercising caution, he refrained from hastily venturing back into the cave. He opted to wait until he felt sufficiently restored.

Only a fool would engage in combat while weakened.

"Let's see now."

Aur smirked as he entered through the scorched hole created by the force that had sent him hurtling.

"You are here again?" Hanma looked at Aur with shock, his blue figure flickering.

"Attack."

His voice echoed, but the moment Hanma took barely a step, he disintegrated into dust, flying away and being wiped out by the air.

"Oh," Aur raised his eyebrows in surprise at the sight of this, the man who almost killed him just like that.
