My Muscle System in the Mage World

"Stella huh…"

Aur's lips quivered as he strained his eyes to see the faint outline of her body.

"Your state is miserable, Aur, Do you regret it? If you had taken the Tier Seven spell, then your state wouldn't have been so miserable."

Stella snickered.

Aur decisively shook his head while uttering words in his mind: "I only regret the fact that I was too weak; if I was a little... a little stronger, then everything would be mine."

There was one common thing about Aur and Nina: their ambitions were strong; every step of the goal they took was a step facing difficulties upon difficulties.

Nina was still a little more naive, but that was because of her still young age. As for Aur, who had a previous life in a position of power, he has seen countless schemes and the destruction of people; if he were naive, he wouldn't have stayed in that position.

As for whose drive was stronger, that could only be found out...

"You still refuse to admit it, Aur," the hologram of Stella spoke with a scowl on her face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Aur just remained silent, his eyes seemingly closed.

"Forget it; I already suffered a lot because of trying to make a wolf fight a tiger only for the wolf to bite back at its own helper. I won't repeat the same mistake."

Stella extended her hand, and a vial containing an eerie dark liquid appeared in her hand.

Aur's pupils flickered as he sensed that the mere presence of vial seemed terrifying, at least greater than Tier Six.

"Wh… is…" He couldn't even utter clear words.

"This is a special poison, well technically a Tier Seven half-spell. Once consumed, you will be forever poisoned, and there is no cure to it." Stella spoke with a snicker.

Aur paused his gaze upon her burning fiercely.

"Hehe, brat I am not going to repeat the same mistake I did with Nina and completely tame you; unless you get my power every day, then you will die while your soul will be torn apart, the most painful death in the world."

Stella came forward and pried open Aur's mouth forcefully and fed him the dark vial.

Gulp!

Even if Aur didn't want to drink it, he was forced to drink it; whether he liked it or not didn't matter at all.

As the dark liquid travelled down his espionage and into his body, it instantly disappeared in place.

No matter how Aur tried to sense this thing, it entirely vanished into the shadow realm as if he hadn't consumed it at all.

Aur wanted to use his blood and Qi to remove it, but he was immediately disappointed because he simply couldn't find this poison at all.

"Haha, it's useless for you to try now that you have consumed it as it has merged with your soul." Stella spoke with a chuckle.

Suddenly she closed her eyes with a look of pain in her face.

"Ahhhh—"

Her eyes become bloodshot with her teeth grinding together.

"Once I get a hold of you, Nina, I will torture your soul until you beg for death, but that will only be a sweaty dream."

She looked at the fading eyes of Aur and casually extended her hand again.

A stake of potion appeared in her hand as she crouched down again, feeding it Aur.

Immediately the poison took effect, and his flesh and blood slowly started to heal; even his golden blood immediately recovered a lot.

"I wasted a Tier Six healing potion on you, Brat. You are lucky, but even if you recover to your prime, can you even fight her?"

Stella looked at Aur with a thoughtful gaze; her mind seemed to be chuning with thoughts that flowed in a continuous stream.

Sigh!

A sigh escaped her lips with seemingly a look of resignation in her face.

"Looks like you are a lucky brat; I will grant you an option for you to advance your body path."

"I don't know how you were able to even reach this level in the body brat; this is not the Golden Age where the powers were aligned together and all paths flourished; even our sect was not in the Golden Age. In the early age of the dawn of the Wizard Path was the sect that created me, but how could you reach this level when the laws of the entire world are against you?"

There were some questions in her mind, but time is of essence, and she needed to quickly solve this, Nina!

Thinking of this, Stella slowly extended her hand and touched the recovering Aur's forehead.

"What are you doing?" Aur spoke; his mouth finally recovered for him to speak, but he tightly shut his mouth, his eyes closed as a ray of information passed through his mind.

"Ho."

Finally, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after a long time; his eyes snapped open.

"You…"

"Here are resources for you to cultivate brat." Stella casually waved her hand, and a multitude of things appeared in front of Aur's eyes.

Aur paused in place as he slowly stood up, not even focussing on her as he casually walked towards the resources and started to inspect it as if it were his own house with the most casual and comfortable demeanour.

Stella looked at this with the corner of her mouth twitching.

"Is this supposed to be your own house?"

"Yeah, didn't you give it to me? Besides, I am not basically in your control; why do you need me to be afraid of you?" Aur asked casually, his crimson pupils still staring at the herbs with curious eyes.

"You are surprisingly taking this well." Stella raised her brows while intently looking at Aur.

"If there is no solution, then it's better to live in reality than in some illusion. You live in the present, not the past."

Aur resumed his inspection before chugging down a mouthful of herbs.
