My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 149  Life as cheap as grass

As the boar charged, William and the others landed another hit on the boar. However, disregarding the attacks, the boar retaliated by directly hitting William.

It sent him flying through the air, crashing into two trees, and eventually halting against another tree stump. William's condition was unknown.

Nevertheless, the boar wasn't finished with them. Its eyes filled with rage scanned the remaining individuals, now completely red with seething anger.

The others, with horror in their eyes, let their survival instincts take over and launched another volley of spells.

The boar appeared even more provoked, charging towards them in a fit of rage.

Boom!

One by one, the students were all launched, sent backward. However, the teachers at the back were silently watching without making any move. Cries and pain instantly erupted among the students, causing the group to descend into chaos.

Their eyes were cold and uncaring, fixed solely on William, not even glancing at the other students.

The one who had bad-mouthed Aur found his body impaled by the two icy tusks of the boar. Horror widened his eyes, and soon they turned lifeless, blood dripping from his body.

Soon, William rose from the ground as he stood up while coughing blood, his blue pupils dilated, witnessing the deaths of his friends happening right before his very own eyes.

With maddened eyes, he charged forward toward the raging boar. Countless ice spears materialised from thin air and attacked the boar again.

Bang!

This time, as the attack landed, it finally penetrated the spike armor and its strong pelt with the accumulated damage, directly reaching its internal organs.

The boar howled with a painful cry as its attention was again drawn towards William, its eyes filled with rage.

However, when the boar charged at him with the loss of blood, its pace slowed down a bit.

This gave William a chance to use his spell again in a quick motion.

As the ice spear landed once more, its wound became even more apparent, some ice plastered on the boar's skin.

Just then, the surviving members also released their spells one by one, crashing into the boar.

Even a drop of water, if accumulated, could turn into a pond!

With the accumulated damage from all the people, the ice boar fell to the ground with a large thud. Its gigantic body, weighing more than a ton, made even the earth shake.

William's eyes lit up seeing this; however, he suddenly looked around at the party of six people he had, which had turned into three already.

And the three people—two males and one female—were all injured as well, causing William to sigh.

"Senior brother William…" The woman cried out while holding a man's corpse in her hand, her eyes filled with tears, and a muffled sound of crying came from her from time to time.

William shook his head as he vomited blood; however, he recovered in a blink of a moment.

"This is…"

"The true vampire bloodline, kid. This is the power of it," Asmodeus said with a chuckle, his voice resounding in his head.

"However, you haven't even unlocked a sliver of its potential. If you had reached just the first level, you could have easily killed that boar."

William shook his head with a bitter smile. "I am not even human anymore…" he muttered while standing up.

The three's attention was immediately drawn to him.

"Let's return back to the place and recruit more people before coming again." William gritted his teeth with anger as he left, with the two men immediately following him.

Although the woman's eyes were filled with tears, she eventually let go of the corpse and went back while crying.

The teachers immediately jotted down the points that showed on the screen of the village, causing Noah's eyes to light up.

"William scored two points, huh…" Noah muttered to himself with a thoughtful expression. The others in his group were given one point, while the killed people's names were erased. However, the elders and Noah didn't even blink for a second.

Life was as fleeting as chopping grass in this world. On the path of becoming strong, countless trillions, or even more, have died—all for the pursuit of power. Barely anyone achieved it.

The students who were killed were simply weak, serving their purpose of nurturing the seedlings who were going to be strong support for the village in the future. This was the perspective of all the leaders and the elders.

They were already cold and indifferent to life.

In their eyes, the weaker people had already served their purposes for the strong to grow.

This was the original purpose of the test to begin with.

"I wonder how many will die this time," Noah curiously thought while looking at the scoreboard.

Suddenly, Noah seemed to sense something, causing his expression to change into a frown.

His eyes flashed with a cold glint as he turned to his side, looking intently at the eighth elder.

"Eighth elder," Noah voiced with a smile on his face.

The voice caused the eight elders to pause as they turned towards Noah.

"Yes, leader," 'Walter' said with a forced smile.

"Oh," Noah smiled with amusement, "you even fooled me for some time there."

The moment he said those words, 'Walter's expression turned forced as a loud bang resounded in the place.

The elders were all wide-eyed, witnessing the scene.

Noah was near 'Walter,' and in his hand was soaked with blood, a pumping heart still thumping loudly was in his hand. 'Walter's chest was opened wide with blood gushing out from the wide hole in the man's chest.

"Leader," the elders all stood up with fright, "why did you kill the eighth elder?" one of the elders said in trepidation.

Noah just chuckled as he smiled mysteriously.

"Elders, don't worry. Look at the guy—" Noah's expression turned strange, turning towards the corpse of 'Walter.'

Boom!

The duplicate of Walter exploded into countless bits, covering an area of a kilometre with them.

The scenes were frightening, as if a doomsday apocalypse had happened.
