Chapter 248: Transformation type spell
Aur surveyed the half-melted, half-burned corpse of the giant eagle with a satisfied expression on his face.
In just ten breaths of time, the corpse reverted back to the form of the bald old man with an aged beard.
"These transformation spells are interesting," Aur mused, his eyes gleaming as he examined the corpse.
"I wonder if I can take any spells from him," he pondered, rubbing his hands together in excitement.
"Muscle system," he murmured, his mind already racing with possibilities.

"Hmm?" Aur glanced at his unchanged status panel and then at the countless spells stored within his mental space.
Roughly estimating, there were at least ten.
"I wish there could be a clear indicator of each spell as well," Aur thought, his expression souring with frustration.
Just then, the blue panel in front of his crimson eyes rippled like a pebble thrown into a pond before finally settling again within five breaths of time.

Aur's crimson pupils froze on the spell category of the system.
"These... could also happen?" he murmured, his focus intensifying on the attributes of the spells. Suddenly, a new blue panel emerged before his very eyes.

"Does, my will move the system as well?" Aur's mind was clouded in confusion. It wasn't like he hadn't tried these things previously, even when he was a kid. But at that time, the system had not responded to his will, not even a single bit.
The only thing he could do was allocate more points into his attributes.
Furthermore, when he first got his system, there wasn't even the function of the daily quest or the chance to upgrade his attributes.
But gradually, everything changed. The stronger he got, the more powerful and feature-rich the system became.
It wouldn't take a genius to figure out that the stronger Aur became, the stronger the system grew.
"These things should be connected to me somehow," he muttered, his thoughts tinged with a strange curiosity. "Can I know my progress as a wizard as well?"
He looked at the panel and pondered again. Instantly, the panel began to ripple once more.
This time, it took more time before a new panel appeared in front of him. Everything was the same except for a column that neatly displayed his progress in the wizard path.
Wizard tier: Mid-tier one (10%)
"Oh," Aur was amused when he saw this. After playing with the panel for some time, he finally discovered something.
- Muscle mass: 7.90 (+) [Tier one (peak)]
- Life Level: 3.07 (+) [Tier one (0%)]
If he focused on these two attributes, another panel would appear in front of him.
[Muscle Mass attribute needs to reach ten points before reaching tier two.]
[Life Level attribute needs three more points before reaching the next tier.]
Aur was undoubtedly joyful when he saw this.
"Now, will I be able to know what these attributes do?" He focused more on the attribute, but just as he was about to look, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside.
Aur's figure blurred and then vanished.
There was a knocking sound from outside the room, followed by an extremely respectful voice.
"Master, it is time for your launch."
After speaking, she patiently waited for a reply. However, none came, which gradually furrowed her brows in a frown.
"Master?"
She knocked slightly again, but with just a little push, the door opened simultaneously.
As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat, and the servant enters the room.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and promptly fainted, landing on the ground.
Fortunately, just before her head could hit the floor, a burly hand stopped its descent and gently laid her down.
Aur looked at her unconscious state and nodded with a satisfied expression.
Then, he turned his attention back to the melted corpse of Aiden, his crimson eyes glowing with a pattern resembling a hand.
Whoosh!
The surrounding seemed to be torned as a black hand materialised and entered the corpse.
"Tier One: Thieving Hand."
Though the physical body was melted and destroyed, the mental space remained intact.
The black hand materialised in the mental space and swiftly retrieved a spell before manifesting in the real world.
Meanwhile, the mental space started to break down like glass, completely destroyed, while the dark blue mana returned, feeding the world.
Aur looked at the blue pattern resembling a snake with a strange expression on his face.
"Is this a transformation spell too?" he pondered, making a slight incision with his saber.
Now his blood had entirely changed, with the golden particles within becoming even more apparent.
At least fifty percent of his entire red blood now contained these golden particles.
With a slight movement of his finger, he dropped the mixture of red and golden blood into the pattern.
Instantly, the spell shot towards him, tearing through the air and into his mental space.
"Let's leave," Aur muttered.
With that, he vanished from his location, leaving behind the melted corpse and the unconscious servant on the ground.
As Aur made his way home, his thoughts were consumed by contemplation.
It seemed evident that he had been targeted by at least two powerful individuals, if not more. The first assassin he had slain likely came from Aiden.
However, the origin of the other five assassins remained a mystery.
Aiden was indeed influential and wealthy as a instructor, but he didn't seem to possess the means to employ five peak tier one wizards at once.
