My Muscle System in the Mage World

His body grew larger and imposing black scales began to appear all over his skin. Blade-like wings sprouted from his back and his mouth stretched into a fierce snout.

His claws grew longer and sharper, and he felt an immense increase in his strength and stamina.

Aur regarded his new form with fascination, noting the significant boost in his defence and strength.

Though the effect was subtle, he estimated it was at least a twenty percent increase in his already impressive abilities.

Aur dismissed the spell he had been using and focused on his Vigour skill. Instantly, he felt a surge of energy coursing through his body, his muscles filling with power.

After a moment, he cancelled the Vigour skill and activated the Strength spell.

He felt an immediate increase in his strength, and casually punched into the air, tearing apart the surrounding space almost effortlessly.

"Not bad," Aur remarked, nodding in approval. "Both of these spells gave me a twenty percent boost in strength and stamina as well."

While twenty percent might not seem like much, it was a significant increase for someone as powerful as Aur.

The fact that a Tier One spell could have such an effect on him was impressive in itself.

"Now, it\'s time to focus on refining my skills and reaching the intermediate level for Vitality magic and the Five Elemental spells," Aur said to himself. "If I can reach the intermediate level, I\'ll be able to combine various spells to create a killer move."

"Muscle system."

—--

-Muscle mass: 10.01 (+) [Tier two (early)]- (Strengthened cells 132 thousand/132 trillion)

-Life Level: 3.93 (+) [Tier one (0%)]

Stat Points: 14

—-

The attribute of his life level stats has increased, which has made him satisfied. This increase was mostly due to the spirit nurturing spell he had obtained from Alchemist Elmer.

The spell was actually quite valuable as long as he supplied mana into it, it would slowly nurture his mana.

Unfortunately, like many others, once he used it for a long time, the effect would diminish to zero.

Nevertheless, being able to increase his soul was already a valuable spell, and he was a little surprised to see its effectiveness. As per his understanding, even in the village, there was no spell that could nurture the spirit.

Undoubtedly, this spell\'s value was immeasurable from these facts alone and had another function as well. It could not only nurture the spirit of the wizard but also help the other living beings nurture the soul.

"It\'s a pity that I don\'t have even a single understanding of Soul magic. If I could, then I might be able to decode and create a blueprint for it, and refine even the higher tiers of the spell," Aur thought as he started to refine spells tirelessly, one by one.

No matter how much time it would take, he was determined to reach the intermediate level in the five elemental and vital magic.

While Aur went into seclusion again, the village surprisingly remained calm, without a single ripple. But Noah knew that this was the calm before the storm.

"The evidence has all been removed already, so there should not be any chance of Aur being discovered at all," Noah thought with narrowed eyes.

Ever since the investigation had been conducted, although on the surface, it might seem like the village was doing its best, in actuality, not much investigation had been done, and the pursuit of that guy was almost non-existent. Instead, they had removed the traces left by Aur.

If Aur was caught here, then the consequences would reach the village as well, as he was the elder of the village and held a high position. If he was caught, they could only hope for the best. It was too late to regret now, and they could only try their best.

While he was thinking about this in his office, the second master himself came out from the caravan that was settled outside the village. He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand and was standing on a red carpet, his eyes darting into the distance.

It was obvious that he was waiting for some honorary people, but who could the person be that even made the second master, a tier three wizard, come out to personally welcome them?

Soon, the figure of a tall woman and a man appeared in the distance. The second master\'s eyes lit up as he hurriedly scurried over to them with a smile on his face.

"Divine investigator," he exclaimed while bowing, giving the bouquet to the woman with a humble expression.

The servants who looked at this had varying expressions on their faces. Their master was a dignified tier three wizard, but he was so humble towards these women? The image of these women was firmly imprinted in their minds to never offend her.

"Shaun, long time no see," the woman replied with an expressionless face. Her sharp eyebrows and long black hair, wearing robes that fully covered her body, gave her a heroic look at first glance.

The boy beside her, who seemed to be relatively young, also had distinct eyebrows and gave off a heroic atmosphere.

"You didn\'t have to welcome me yourself," she replied.

"No, no, it is my honour to welcome you," Shaun shook his head with a smile, raising his head as he said, "Please rest for a few days before you take on the investigation."

"First, let\'s visit the village leader of this village," Thelma shook her head indifferently, refusing the words of the second master.

However, Shaun wasn\'t angry when he heard this; he only smiled. "Very well, then," he nodded.

"Where is he?" Thelma asked again.

"Please come," Shaun said, leading the way. As he walked, he looked at the young boy beside her with a curious expression.

Seeing the curious expression, Thelma coldly said, "He is my disciple, Maurice."

"Oh," Shaun\'s eyes lit up as his smile grew warmer. "Greetings, my nephew Maurice."

Thelma frowned slightly in response but didn\'t speak much. Maurice looked at the healthy man in front of him and just nodded his head without speaking much.

Shaun smiled. "Looks like the nephew doesn\'t want to talk much. I understand," while he was externally smiling, his thoughts were unknown.

"Oh, look, we have reached the place," as he pointed forward, they saw the building of the village leader.

"Let\'s go inside," Thelma entered the place, and the others followed.

"Teacher, why are we in the village? I thought you were taking me out to train," Maurice, who was expressionless but his eyes glinting in a pattern, secretly communicated with his master.

"This is your training. If you can find the perpetrator, then you might be allowed to have the core spell of our family," Thelma replied.

Maurice\'s steps involuntarily paused, and a glimmer of excitement appeared on his face. "Is that true?" he asked.

"Naturally," Thelma slightly smiled.

Shaun, who was looking at the two, was puzzled, but he didn\'t voice his thoughts. The woman in front of him was a person who even his father had to be polite to. Not only because she was a peak tier three wizard just a step away from reaching tier four, but she also had a terrifying background.

Shaun had paid a hefty amount of resources to bring her here. "Everything is worth it as long as I get all the inheritance," he thought in his heart, tightening his fists together.

"Second master, if I knew you were coming, I would have personally come to greet you," Noah smiled. However, his gaze turned curious when he saw the tall woman and the boy beside her. "Who are these?"

"Haha, brother Noah, she is the divine investigator. Now, the village doesn\'t have to put any effort with a tier three divine investigator. No matter who that villain is, he will be caught in no time," Shaun spoke. Experience new stories with мѵʟ

"I am assured then, Second master," Noah smiled meaningfully. "Lord Divine Investigator, you must be tired for the day. I will arrange some residence for you to rest in before you start your investigation and find that villain."

"Very well," surprisingly, Thelma nodded her head.

Noah\'s smile beamed as he personally gave them the best luxurious residence. After they settled in, there was some dissatisfaction on Maurice\'s face.

"Master, why don\'t we quickly solve these cases and be done with it?" he asked.

"This is a training for you. I won\'t look at the case. You have to investigate everything and collect the evidence in five days\' time," Thelma lazily laid on the warm comfort of the bed, speaking slowly.

"Remember, your every move will be considered as the mission."

Maurice\'s eyes widened as he nodded his head. "Yes, Master."

"Your time starts now," she said in an indifferent tone.

Immediately, Maurice sprang to action, leaving the place.

Thelma looked at the fleeting figure of Maurice with a satisfied expression. "At least I got a handyman to do my job," her lips curled, and she closed her eyes sleeping lazily in the bed.

She was a lazy person. If not for her talent, the family wouldn\'t have nurtured her, and she wouldn\'t have reached her strength.

While twisting her body, her eyes flashed in a pattern, making her body float up like a fish in water.

Without even her feet touching the ground, she munched on some jerky made of unknown meat.

"I almost forgot about my sleeping snacks." Thelma nodded and went back to the bed, sleeping again.
