My Muscle System in the Mage World

Brat," Leo cursed immediately, ready to take action as he moved his hand.

"Even if you're from the Greater Lord Crystal, as long as I don't kill you, it doesn't matter…"

While speaking, he had already made his move.

"Huh?" Leo waited in anticipation, but no mana in his mental space could be used, as if it had been sealed away.

By the time Leo realised the situation and frantically looked around, Aur had already taken another step forward.

A bone-chilling sound echoed through the surroundings as Aur's veins visibly bulged. It felt as though his body was being torn apart again.

After Aur withstood this immense pressure, his gaze slowly grew dazed.

Leo looked at Aur's state, and his face filled with reluctance. After all, he wasn't some ancient monster but just a thirty-year-old man.

While his mind could be considered mature, it wasn't fully developed in some ways. His entire life had been spent in one place, practising almost constantly.

It was equivalent to being a shut-in, with little to no experience of the outside world.

Not to mention, all the resources had been funnelled toward him since he was young, and he had held absolute authority from birth and could do anything he wanted to, especially since he had the talent.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If that didn't make a person spoiled, nothing would.

Leo glanced back at the people staring at him. Their gazes were filled with envy; some looked at him warily, others with reverence, and a few with extremely unsettling looks in their eyes.

"I can do it," Leo muttered, finally gaining some confidence as he noticed the reverence in the eyes of the people behind him.

Leo slowly took a step forward, and immediately, a bone-crushing sound echoed through the air as his muscles tore apart.

He screamed at the top of his lungs, the heart-wrenching pain overwhelming him.

"Ahhh…"

His knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, his screams echoing throughout the place. Then, before everyone's wary eyes, Leo's body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. The crowd watched in horror, drawing in sharp breaths at the gruesome sight.

His mental space, along with the mana he had accumulated throughout his life, surged outward into the world. A series of chains materialised, sealing off his mental space completely before retreating to an unknown place.

This had been the mental space of a Tier Four wizard, and now it had vanished without a trace. If someone had cultivated here, it would have been as valuable as possessing a superior mana crystal, capable of nourishing the world for a long time.

But now, all the mana and the mental space had disappeared in an instant. Not to mention the invaluable Tier Four spell he possessed.

"Oh well, he's dead already…" Greater Lord Crystal muttered with a disappointed expression before losing interest.

The King of Mrya, however, stared at the scene with bloodshot eyes, while the King of Wine snickered, "Karma, bitch!"

Greater Lord Crystal noticed this exchange but chose to ignore it, shifting her gaze toward Aur.

He was still dazed, staring at the ground, though his body had already recovered unusually fast.

Her attention then turned to Nina, who had taken her tenth step, looking completely unharmed. There was no external damage, and her complexion was as healthy and radiant as ever, even glossier than before.

"Interesting."

Greater Lord Crystal curled her lips into a smile. "This is the power of the darling of luck."

"Then, what kind of creature are you, Aur?"

Her pupils flickered with an uncertain glint. "You are a variable, Aur. For our grand plan... we cannot let you roam free."

As she pondered, she had already casually decided Aur's future.

Of course, she needed the Grand Priestess' permission, who in turn would need approval from the Divine Human Kingdom.

But she was fairly certain that turning Aur into a guinea pig—imprisoned forever and subjected to all kinds of experiments—would be readily agreed upon.

Aur, meanwhile, had no idea his fate was being sealed at that very moment. Still dazed, his mind was filled with visions of war, where he himself appeared to be just an ordinary soldier.

"Hmm, this feels too realistic, as if it were reality itself," Aur muttered, gripping the spear in his hand.

The pungent stench of death filled his nose, and the crimson, blood-soaked ground beneath him, along with the terrifying screams of people, echoed continuously.

"Huh?" Aur glanced down, seeing a mass of corpses littering the ground, almost forming a gruesome carpet in the ground.

He could see their hearts, guts, and intestines scattered everywhere.

With every step he took, the organs were crushed beneath him, the sickening stench growing even more unbearable. The battlefield felt eerily similar to one he had seen before.

"Hmm, what should I do here?"

He scanned the battlefield, his crimson pupils searching for anything.

For a long time, he found nothing, his brows furrowing in frustration.

Though many soldiers fought around him, none of them seemed to hold any clue about how to escape this illusion—or whatever this place was…

Aur's eyes suddenly darted forward, locking onto a group of soldiers who wore the same blue armour as him, each adorned with a distinct pigeon symbol.

In mere seconds, they were being cleaved in half.

Their cries turned to screams of terror as they fell.

Aur squinted, focusing on the carnage, and finally saw the culprit—a brawny man wielding a massive greatsword. His face twisted into a crazed expression, sneering as he effortlessly cut down the soldiers.

As Aur watched, the madman suddenly halted his greatsword mid-swing, just before it was about to cleave another soldier.

The brawny man turned toward Aur, his lips curling into a sneer, and a terrifying aura radiated outward, instantly paralysing all the soldiers nearby.

"Tier Four wizard, no… Tier Four existence?"

Aur's eyes widened to their limits, feeling the presence already crushing his body.

The brawny man shot forward toward Aur with a mocking expression.

Boom!

The very earth seemed to tremble as the man reached Aur almost instantly, his form faintly resembling a bull… a bull that seemed to be the height of a planet.
