My Muscle System in the Mage World

"Leader!"

The people's eyes widened with horror.

A tier three wizard had fallen here without even having the slightest chance to react.

The biggest wolf, with blue fur and yellow stripes, now stared at the other human tier three wizard.

Feeling its stare, the leader of the East village felt a chill run down his back and wanted to run away.

Boom!

As the beast's claws fell, he instantly turned into a blood mist.

With the fall of these two village leaders, the East and Nomad villages became headless armies. Some simply gave up and let the wolves claw them down, tearing out their hearts.

As the battle raged on, some among the humans fought valiantly, resisting the relentless onslaught of the beasts. Yet, despite their efforts, they succumbed to the overwhelming power of the creatures, their bodies battered and their spirits broken.

The beasts showed no mercy, swiftly tearing out their hearts and leaving them lifeless on the ground.

Others attempted to flee, but with no tier three wizard to clear a path for them, escape was futile. They met the same fate as the others, their hopes dashed as they fell to the ferocious onslaught.

With the last of the humans defeated, the wolves gathered the hearts of their fallen foes.

With solemn reverence, they presented the hearts to the largest wolf, bowing before him in a display of deference and respect even the other tier three wolves bowed.

The leader's blue almond-shaped eyes held a hint of spirituality as he extended his claws, effortlessly claiming all the hearts as his own.

With a single graceful motion, he swallowed the hearts whole, each one disappearing into the darkness of his maw.

As the last heart was consumed, his gaze froze in place.

With him frozen for a slight moment, the terrifying presence he emitted completely leaked out, making every wolf tremble before him.

Although the tier three wolves weren't affected, they still patiently waited, not even entertaining the idea of attacking the wolf.

After a long time, the wolf started to move again slightly.

"He… hello?" The moment it opened its jaws, these human words came out of it.

The wolves were stunned, looking around in confusion.

"Hahaha, don't be confused," the giant wolf spoke human words again with a snicker.

"How interesting, eating the hearts of humans has made me gain the ability to speak their language. From a young age, I have been very different from the other wolves. I am just smarter than all these ordinary brothers and sisters," the wolf snickered.

"From today, my name shall be Fenrir. I will unite all the beasts and then launch an all-out attack on these pitiful humans."

…

Meanwhile, Aur and Naomi were still hunting the beasts one by one, leaving countless corpses on the ground. However, at this moment, Aur froze in place for a moment.

"What is it, Aur?" Naomi asked worriedly.

Aur's eyes suddenly narrowed to the extreme as he spotted a shadow in the distance.

He rubbed his crimson eyes incredulously.

"Is that Noah?" Aur exclaimed loudly, still a little stunned.

Hearing this, even Naomi was taken aback. She didn't doubt Aur; since they had been hunting together, he had effortlessly spotted every beast they encountered, giving her no reason to doubt him.

Thinking about this, she became even more shocked as she patiently waited.

Gradually, Naomi spotted a shadow from the corner of the tree.

"Is that the village leader?" she wondered aloud.

As the shadow enlarged in her vision, she finally saw Noah, who appeared in a light form, causing his body to float in the air.

As Naomi looked at Noah, he too glanced back at her with a straight face, his body bruised and battered. His gaze then fell on Aur as well.

"You guys, follow us," he said casually.

Only then did Naomi's pupils violently snap open as she looked behind Noah. A crowd of Elders and Instructors rushed behind him like a tide.

However, the numbers were considerably less than the initial three hundred, now around forty.

"Daughter, follow me," Second Elder sternly instructed Naomi.

Naomi nodded silently and followed behind him.

Meanwhile, Aur also followed, keeping pace with the other Elder, whose numbers had dwindled to about fifteen, give or take.

He didn't question anything, silently trailing behind them until they finally saw the village in the distance.

The village had been properly barricaded, with a metal barrier covering the entire place.

"Luckily, I properly instructed the elders to construct the wall, and they managed to complete it in just a short amount of time," Noah sighed with relief, though he remained calm at heart.

With the promise of that Lord, as long as the village was on the brink of extinction, even if the sky were to fall, the Lord would catch it with a single hand.

No matter how strong that wolf is, it's only at tier three strength, while a Lord is a tier four existence.

This level was no longer just a simple addition of one plus one; it was a difference in the life-level. Everything, from body to soul, would undergo transformation and become stronger.

Even the physical body of a tier four wizard could be comparable to a tier two wizard's spell, automatically at the least without even using any spell to strengthen it.

Not only that, but the greatest difference was mana itself. After being refined by the mental space, mana converts into a blue mist. This gaseous form of mana means it's no longer in liquid form, which causes even tier one spells to reach terrifying power in the hands of a tier four wizard.

Noah had never seen a tier four wizard in action, but he knew one thing: tier four wizards could rule an entire city.

While they were just nameless villages, not even qualified to be named, as it would require at least ten tier three wizards for such recognition. It was a heavy price to pay but worth it, sacrificing a high-grade talent for the protection of such a wizard.

Since William needed to grow and consume resources, but even then, the hope of reaching the tier four wizard realm was slim.
