My Muscle System in the Mage World

That's what the assassin thought, his gaze fixed on the crimson beam of fire that distorted the very void.

However, the next moment, his expression underwent a drastic transformation.

Just as the arrow was poised to strike, it vanished into thin air, leaving the assassin dumbfounded.

Yet, before he could fully comprehend what had occurred, a searing sensation engulfed him.

Every hair on his body seemed to have burned, and sweat poured from his pores, mingling with the billowing smoke that seemed to cook him alive!

Instinctively, his survival instincts surged forth.

The eyes concealed beneath his black cloak reflected a pattern as he summoned a swirling vortex of wind to form a protective barrier around him.

At that precise moment, the arrow found its mark.

With horrified eyes, the assassin watched as the barrier, which he was so confident on, faltered under the relentless force of the arrow.

Despite his best efforts, it crumbled within just a breath's time, unable to withstand the arrow's relentless assault.

Boom!

Luckily, it was enough time, and he escaped successfully. But still, the arrow had slightly grazed his arm, melting it like liquid.

"Luckily," he thought, with some lingering fear.

"So you were here."

Suddenly, a cold voice resounded in his ear as he saw a large fist descending on him slowly.

However, it wasn't exactly slow; instead, it was a manifestation of extreme speed, a level of speed even higher than breaking the speed barrier.

There was no surprise, as Aur's punch landed, the man was crushed to a meaty paste.

"How weak?" Aur muttered in a surprised tone while casually rubbing his fist smeared with some blood.

The assassin should have been a peak tier one wizard; however, he was killed by him like a chicken.

But thinking of the advantage of the bow, Aur felt it was natural with his terrifying blood and Qi, which had already reached the peak tier one, superimposed by the lethal artefact, which was basically tailor-made for him.

A peak tier one wizard, in exactly the same realm as him, was slaughtered like a chicken.

This was the terrifying power of a lethal artefact in the same tier; the combat strength would increase several times just from using it.

Aur's mind swirled with thoughts as he sighed before pulling the string again.

Although his contemplation might have been lengthy, it actually occurred in just a breath's time, or even less.

"There should be five more individuals," he snickered, the terrifying perception he had gained making almost every tier one hiding spell visible to him as clear as day, even from a distance.

His confidence surged sharply; if he could kill a peak tier one wizard so easily, then killing more shouldn't be a problem either.

Shh…

The void around him distorted again as he unceremoniously poured out his blood and Qi into the bow.

With the terrifyingly vast amount of blood and Qi he possessed, he didn't need to worry about exhaustion.

Aur released the string, and the arrow-shaped frame streaked through the air, distorting everything in its surroundings.

At that moment, five figures, also cloaked in large black cloaks, began to retreat stealthily from the scene.

Their eyes betrayed a sense of horror as they communicated with each other through subtle hand gestures.

Although the exact contents of their conversation remained indiscernible, it was all too clear to Aur's crimson eyes. He could discern some fragments.

"The information was wrong. He is a peak tier one wizard."

"No, he shouldn't be. I sense something off about him. From the presence he has released, he is undoubtedly one, but he might not be a wizard…"

The assassin paused, exchanging glances with each other, their terror deepening.

"That other guy should also be an assassin hired to kill him as well. But he was killed without a moment's notice. Even if there are five of us, we might not be able to match that monster."

As they conversed in various sign languages, suddenly, the four turned their heads upon hearing a scream from behind them.

One of the black-cloaked figures was entirely melted by the flickering red flame in the shape of an arrow that had penetrated him.

The arrow was extremely fast; in just a breath's time after Aur released the bow, it had reached its target. This was a distance of more than two kilometres covered in an instant.

A chill ran down the spines of the remaining four as they increased their speed, utilising all the spells in their arsenal to push themselves to their limits.

All of this unfolded before Aur's eyes, and a frown creased his face. With his sharp mind, he calculated the distance in what seemed like an instant.

"If I use it normally, I might have to let one go at this rate," Aur thought to himself.

Decisively, Aur started pouring his blood and Qi again, forming another arrow. However, he wasn't entirely satisfied. Skillfully, he controlled and poured more of his blood and Qi into the bow.

In a short time, he formed another arrow, aiming it with his other thumb which separated the two.

He wanted to manifest more arrows; however, feeling the strain, Aur already knew that the artefact had reached its limits. In one swift motion, he released the strings.

Shhh…

The void trembled as two fell in an instant, almost half their bodies melted.

The remaining two assassins exchanged helpless glances.

As expected, Aur released the string again after forming two more arrows of blood and Qi, and the last two fell without surprises.

Aur looked at the melted corpse with a satisfied expression on his face.

"This bow is truly terrifying."

At this moment, six peak tier one wizards had already fallen mercilessly to these lethal artefacts, denying them any chance of survival.

"If in the future I get a chance, I must increase the tier of this bow. It shouldn't be hard to elevate it to the tier two artefact level," Aur swiftly began to loot the corpses.

However, he was quite disappointed when he only found some mana crystals.

However, that was to be expected, as an assassin's life was constantly at risk.

Why would they provide sustenance to their own enemies if they were to perish?
