My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 134: Hope Bug



"This… this wall recovered?" Aur's eyes narrowed. When he was launched, he destroyed the cave walls with the scorching heat.

But now, all of these were recovered as if they didn't exist in the first place.

"Hey, Aur?" Adriana said while shaking her hand in front of Aur.

"Yes, Adriana." Aur hurriedly said, his face morphing into a smile.

"What were you thinking?"

"Nothing." Aur shook his head and casually punched, easily making a man-sized hole from the cracks and entered.

Adriana just shrugged while entering.

As expected, after Aur entered, there was no burnt floor, and all had returned to normal, exactly as he had previously seen, except for Hanma, of course, who was entirely missing.

"Is this the place, Aur?" Adriana asked expressionlessly.

Aur just nodded his head as he walked forward.

Seeing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face; however, after a moment of thought, she shook her head and followed him.

Before long, Aur and Adriana arrived at the simple room that Aur had previously visited. This was the same place where he got the book for Rock Skin before.

There was still some dried material laying on the table.

"What's this place?" Adriana said with a frown as she looked around the room and then at the dried-up material.

"Aur, is this the place where you have been to?"

Aur scratched his head with an innocent expression. "I will be honest with you, teacher. I have already been here and looted many things here; however, I encountered a danger that I might not be able to take, so I invited you."

He said through gritted teeth.

"Oh." Adriana nodded her head with a smile on her face.

"Eh." Aur seemed to be stunned seeing this. "Aren't you angry at me, Adriana?"

"Oh, you little brat, do you have muscle for your brain?" Adriana said with a chuckle. "Do you think I can't see through you? Now let's go; I will face the danger for you."

"Thank you, teacher Adriana." Aur said with a glint flashing in his crimson eyes as he walked and opened the door leading to the second area.

All Adriana saw was darkness, the darkness that enveloped the entire room was even darker than the abyss itself, as if no amount of light could pass through.

"Light something here." Adriana said with a frown on her face.

"When I previously came here, I used it, but unfortunately, every light element in this place seemed to be suppressed here." Aur said with a bitter expression.

"Huh." Adriana raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "Light one up again and let me see."

"Okay, Adriana." Aur replied with a silly smile on his face.

He took out a bug from his pouch and lit it up with fire before capturing it in the jar.

The bright light instantly brightened the entire room.

"Oh, hope bug. This is one of the brightest torches you can find in the market. I didn't expect you to be so rich, Aur." Adriana said with a chuckle.

"You are too kind, Adriana. My wealth can never be comparable to yours. Besides, this is a special purchase I made for this trip; however, unfortunately…" Aur looked at the darkness with a reluctant expression.

Ironically, even though the technology was relatively advanced in the area, the brightest light one can give was actually by these bugs called hope.

Once these bugs are burned, it produces a strange reaction that produces the brightest light.

Many wizards had researched why this was the case; unfortunately, until now, there has been no result showing why hope bugs burned so brightly.

This wasn't for Aur's village only. From what he had the knowledge of, the brightest light could only be given when Hope bug is burned, and nothing had ever even come close to comparing it.

Aur walked into the second area, and instantly the brightly burning hope bug became dim, barely lighting the area of around 2 to 3 meters around Aur.

"How is this even possible?" Adriana said with astonishment as she also entered the second area, seeing the jar in Aur's hand which was burning dimly. "Is there something that can cancel the effect of the hope bug?"

She looked around the place with gritted teeth. "These might not have been as simple as I thought. However, this might be my only chance to enter tier two wizard."

Adriana sighed as she shook her head, extending her hand as a spell reflected in her eyes.

Immediately, a small fire sparked in front of her hand, lighting the surrounding in front of her by barely a meter.

"This…" Adriana revealed a bitter smile.

"Adriana, should we retreat?" Aur asked.

"No." She gritted her teeth. "Let's advance. I wanna see what is in this place."

"Very well." Aur nodded his head as they walked in the eerie darkness that surrounded them with barely any light to go with it.

Because of Adriana's spark of fire, the temperature rose exponentially in the surrounding area, even causing Aur to sweat.

"Is this the power of a true peak tier one wizard?" His crimson eyes widened.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Adriana paused as she coldly looked to her left, her eyes flickering with another spell.

A medium ball of fire about the size of a basketball was launched from the direction she looked.

The screeching sound of monkeys resounded throughout the place as they cried; unfortunately, it was short-lived as a strange silence engulfed the place again.

Aur's nose started to twitch. "The smell of burnt meat."

He thought with his crimson eyes flickering.

Although Aur himself could conjure a fire using his five elemental mastery spell, it wasn't nearly as deadly as Adriana's.

The most Aur could do damage to the monkey was burning its strong pelt using the fireball he could conjure, and that too will take some time, but Adriana just looked and instantly conjured a fireball at least bigger than Aur could, and the damage was terrifying.
