My Muscle System in the Mage World

The old man's pupil glowed red, and some of the surroundings started to distort instantly as his voice finished.

He turned into a small spark again and disappeared with the wind.

At this exact place, an emerald pupil appeared, looking around with a frown.

"He ran away again," the Great Lord Lightning muttered with a cold tone and immediately turned into small sparks of lightning and disappeared.

After some time, in this exact same abandoned small house, the air distorted and the old man appeared again with his lips curled.

"If you can find me so easily, then my name wouldn't be Flame Demon. As a person who has mastered Fire magic at the highest level, I am fire and the fire is me," he uttered.

"If you want to catch me, then you have to catch the fire."

Murmuring this to himself, a cheesy and corny line straight out of a kid's show, he felt unspeakable confidence, as long as he didn't go to the capital.

He, the Flame Demon, believed he would be safe even if he were chased by the king himself.

Of course, he didn't know the power of the tier-six wizard; however, there was still unspeakable confidence in his eyes.

He turned into a small flame spark again.

The next moment, he appeared in a dark cave that seemed to engulf all light. All light elements here were either shallower or suppressed.

If Aur were here, he would be terrified, as this was exactly the inheritance cave that Hanma had previously made.

"Looks like some rats have modified some things," Flame Demon chuckled with amusement as he lightly waved his hand.

A light spark came from far away, a distance so great that even a tier-three detection spell couldn't see it, thousands of kilometres.

Then he went forward step by step, reaching an unknown place. But just as he wanted to step out, a barrier seemed to block him.

"This place is barricaded as well?" There was a hint of surprise in his expression.

His spell could reach farther but not himself.

"But it doesn't matter, you can't kill me," the Flame Demon muttered as he went back again towards an unknown darkness, although it might seem like he was just wandering around aimlessly. His steps were firm.

In a short time, there was a purple light in his vision.

"Finally, that spell is here," the Flame Demon said, unable to contain his excitement.

Even in this darkness that seemed to swallow everything, you have to know that even the Hope bug, the strongest light element, couldn't last for long in this environment, but now the spell was floating, emitting a bright purple light.

The presence released by it was only at the level of tier three.

"It's only tier three," Flame Demon slightly frowned, but he soon shook his head. "Even if it is only a tier three spell, it is worth it."

While speaking like this, his entire body trembled.

This old monster, who has lived for centuries, and even when his entire family was slaughtered he didn't care, now felt excitement.

Just as he was about to touch the spell, a flash of lightning came.

"I found you," a feminine cold voice sounded at the same time.

The flash of lightning accurately hit Flame Demon without a chance for reaction.

Ahhh–

He was sent flying, tumbling in the darkness.

"Who are you?" He narrowed his eyes in the darkness.

However, he, who could see to a terrifying distance even from a long place in this pitch darkness, was completely unknown to this person.

The only thing he could see was a tall and slender figure.

He was caught off guard, and the lightning destroyed all his internal organs instantly; even his skin was fully charred as well.

At this time, he could be seen as the walking dead instead of a person.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But these injuries didn't seem to have ignited any concern from him; instead, he was looking at the slender shadow with red veins popping in his eyes.

"I didn't expect the Flame Demon to find a Time magic spell here," the slender figure finally revealed herself.

It was, of course, the Great Lord Lightning whose face was expressionless, but her eyes were filled with ridicule.

"You…" Flame Demon's tones contained resentment to the bones. "I have never offended you, Great Lord Lightning. Why are you chasing me?" he growled.

"And don't give me that hypocritical speech as if you care about the lives of those people."

The Great Lord Lightning only smiled when she heard this.

"We already knew that you had that map which could lead to the time magic spell. I didn't expect that to be true."

"Just because of that?" the Flame Demon said calmly, which was completely different from his rage, while simultaneously his eyes darted around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

After all, he was not an old monster for nothing.

Initially, he was in a state of rage because he was so close to reaching the spell; however, in an instant, he could calm down his emotions and think with a clear head.

He was definitely not a simple character. Discover exclusive tales on empire

The Great Lord Lightning's smile didn't leave her face even though he was talking calmly.

"Stop daydreaming. You can't escape today."

"Little girl, when I was a wizard, you were still drinking your mother's milk," Flame Demon said with a sneer.

"You are my senior in age, but in terms of wizardry, you are nothing but an ant." The terrifying presence of the tier-five wizard made the entire ground tremble.

In front of this presence, Flame Demon's pitiful tier-four presence was a weakling.

"Just because of this?" His eyes narrowed.

The Great Lord Lightning shook her head. "Did you forget that you have stolen countless Lifespan spells from our farm?"

Instantly, Flame Demon understood that although the Lifespan spell didn't have any limit to being produced, it was extremely slow to begin with.

And the amount of Lifespan he has stolen could last for centuries.

This was invaluable to the kingdom. To produce this much Lifespan spell, the resources spent were not small.

"If I give you the Lifespan spell and this Time magic spell, would you allow me to leave?" Flame Demon said.

"Do you think that will be possible?" The Great Lord Lightning said with a sneer on her face.

"You are right, it is not possible," Flame Demon sulked as if he had already given up. But when she reached closer to him, her expression immediately changed.

"How?"

Boom!

Instantly, a battle ensued in the place. On the surface, a resounding boom sounded as if there was a tectonic movement, which caused the entire ground to shake like an earthquake.

At this time, Aur slowly opened his eyes, showing his crimson pupil.

"It's finally time."

He muttered, and Rowena stopped massaging his shoulders with a trembling body.

"Will Tina do what I told her to?" a thoughtful expression marred Aur's face, but he quickly shrugged. Whether she did it or not didn't matter too much to the plan.

It would be convenient if she did, but if not, it didn't mean his plan would fail.

Standing up from his seat, he also vanished from the room, leaving Rowena alone.

"When will that monster leave me?" the instant Aur left, Rowena's eyes flashed with hatred, but these thoughts were quickly turned off.

The human body and soul was a complex topic.

Although the tier-six spell could control these people, slowly with the power of time, the effect of the control was wearing off.

One day, they would be free from the control of the tier-six spells.

Aur didn't know about this, and even if he knew, their usefulness was going to end soon, so it didn't matter.

Naturally, the earthquakes were felt by all people.

And in one of the rooms of the mansion, Nina was looking worriedly at the earthquake.

"You must survive and kill the demon, master," she muttered with a clenched fist.

Tina was beside her, and she wasn't even making proper eye contact with her, too afraid that she felt like Nina would know her thoughts, and that would be the end of her.

But…

"If I don't do this," Tina gritted her teeth.

Her twin tails fluttering in the wind.

She utilised the mana in her mental space and silently activated the spell. Since it was a top-quality spell, there was not even a reflection of the spell in her pupils.

Nina, who was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly frowned and turned around in just a split second.

"Are you out of your mind?–" Just as Nina was about to finish, the entire ground seemed to have stood up, sending shockwave after shockwave.

The whole place was destroyed in an instant.

Nina and Tina both separated from the shockwaves. But that wasn't the end.

A purple light suddenly appeared right there and then, shining with the purple necklace that was in Aur's hand.
