Chapter 49: Muscle System Upgrade

"Does intelligence increase my mental defence and let me imprint spells faster?" Aur thought with a frown on his face.

He casually shrugged and focused on the blood and Qi part instead.

Even after he had gained so many stat points, Aur hadn't upgraded his blood and Qi stats because he wanted to first imprint his spell. And now he did.

With decisiveness, Aur directly allocated all the stat points to the blood and Qi, well, at least the ones he could allocate.

The blue panel flickered and vanished from Aur's vision.

A strange change began to happen within Aur's body as he shut his eyes. However, nothing seemed to happen even after a long time.

Aur tried to sense the changes that were occurring in his body, but something was blocking him from sensing the transformation, causing him to frown.

"What's this?" he thought with shock as Aur patiently waited, but to his surprise, nothing happened even after he had waited for an hour.

"Did something go wrong?" Aur wondered, confused, as he tried to summon his system; however, nothing happened.

"Hmm..." he just patiently waited for a long time, an hour or so.

His body suddenly started to tremble, and Aur's aura erupted in full force, causing the entire room to be shrouded in heavy pressure.

"This is," Aur's eyes widened as the muscle, blood, and Qi in his body resonated with each other, forming a strange combination.

The blue panel materialized in front of him again with a new interface.

However in this version of him, Aur seemed to grit his teeth before escaping instead of staying any longer even after seeing this.

Lucas and his friend went the same route and the same girl they met and dragged her to the ground, taking her to the secluded spot, Lucas still made all his friends get out of the way; however, there was no Aur to stop them. Lucas stripped the girl naked and was about to assault her.

But just then the blond came like a hero and killed Lucas, saving the beauty.

However the next thing he saw made Aur disgusted, William looked at the beauty in front of him, and his blue eyes seemed to turn fully blood red with his canine teeth growing large with his nails becoming strong and sharp, almost like a weapon.

Aur closed his eyes in disgust as Williams did it with the girl, instead using her unconscious body as his toys.

After he did it with her, the berserk Williams seemed to calm down; however, he just ran away from the place, leaving the lifeless body of Lucas and the unconscious girl alone.

Aur's vision changed again to a trial of one of Lucas's friends being on the torture paddle, being tortured beyond belief.

Around him, the entire village looked at him with mocking gazes; even Aur was present as he silently watched all these with a cold face.

"You, David, are sentenced to an entire life of torture for killing Lucas, the son of the eighth elder, and raping Agatha."

The lady beckoned as a tank full of water appeared where there were countless insects and snakes crawling all over the water.

"Please do not do this. I didn't kill Lucas. Why would I be stupid to kill him?" David said with a terrified scream; however, no one listened to him as he was helplessly submerged in the tank.

The terrifying scream of David resounded throughout the crowd, which soon turned into a bone-chilling cry of the man before it became the scream of a broken man.

As Williams heard the screams, he just looked sideways at all this in a relaxed tone, in his lap was a beautiful pink-haired girl who was closely snuggling with him.

"Oppa, I am scared of this guy..." she said, her eyes filled with tears.

"Don't worry, I am with you," William said as he heard the bone-chilling cry of the man.

"Don't worry, brother, for being my scapegoat, I will protect your family with my life, and this is my promise to you," he thought with a serious expression on his face.

"Hahaha, you two bond together quite well. I might as well get grandchildren soon," Noah smiled as he looked at both of them.

"Master..." William just rubbed his nose with embarrassment, while the pink-haired girl snuggled with him even more, blushing.

Aur looked at all this from a third-person perspective coldly as he thought, "As expected of a hypocrite, or more like protagonists."

Williams was the standard image of a protagonist, a two-faced hypocrite. However, in this cold and cruel world, Aur wouldn't blame it all on the guy himself.

"However, I will probably always be a side-character in these stories, forever and ever..." Aur thought with a bitter smile. However, that is the exact life he wanted—to be a side-character and free from all trouble.

His vision returned to his own room again.

"Well, that was one hell of a ride..." Aur mused to himself as he stretched his body.
