Aur casually wiped his hands clean of the bloodstains from all the soldiers.
The pile of debris suddenly began to move as the dignified middle-aged man emerged from it again; however, his condition was now miserable, with almost all his bones broken and his internal organs bleeding from the sheer impact of the punch.
"Can you survive my punch?" Aur looked a little surprised.
His gaze shifted to the holy armour the man was wearing, which seemed to emit endless radiance and power, making the mana in the surrounding stir.
"Interesting."
His eyes were full of interest as he examined the armour.
"Do you really want to make the church your enemy?" the middle-aged man spoke solemnly, staring at this burly man with long white hair and piercing crimson eyes that seemed to contain the endless flames of the abyss.
Aur casually shrugged. "No."
"Then—"
"If I kill you, no one will know." Aur smiled. As his voice fell, he had already made his move.
The middle-aged man grew extremely serious and narrowed his eyes, revealing a holy light shining beneath them.
But—
His eyes couldn't see anything. The holy armour, already bearing the deep imprint of a punch, now had another imprint right at the chest.
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man vomited a mouthful of blood and stood stationary, held in place by a powerful force. His eyes widened to the size of saucers as another punch landed, shattering his heart.
All the muscles in his body were destroyed by the powerful impact.
"Even if you have tier three armour, you are only a peak tier two wizard. How could you compete with me?" Aur said calmly.
He slightly pushed the man, who, as if gravity had suddenly taken effect, fell to the ground with lifeless eyes.
Aur swiftly cleaned up the battlefield, ensuring no trace of the conflict remained. He also took the opportunity to loot the fallen guards.
Among their possessions, the most valuable finds were their tier three holy armour and a white priest staff emitting a divine presence that induced a trance-like state in those who beheld it.
Even Aur, whose soul had grown rapidly and far surpassed the strength of a thousand normal human souls, found himself briefly entranced by the staff's aura.
This revelation shook him to the core, for in battle, if you are distracted, then even a breath of time could result in your head being separated from your neck.
And this staff could achieve that.
Talia hurriedly tried to catch up to him.
A mysterious smile tugged at his lips when he saw the girl following him.
"Muscle system."

"It's been twenty-two days already," Aur remarked.
During this time, he had used his talent of Future Seer, Minor point to glimpse into the future, and he was honestly surprised by what he had seen.
"Lord, where are we going?" Talia asked, her expression tinged with fear as they delved deeper into the cave where even the light couldn't reach, completely surrounded by darkness.
"It's fine," Aur reassured her.
He conjured a bug from thin air and ignited it. Instantly, a bright light flashed, illuminating their surroundings in a blinding glow.
Talia's eyes slowly adjusted to the sudden brightness, and she looked at Aur with determined eyes.
"Let's go," Aur said, and Talia followed closely with a nod.
