Chapter 219: Naomi Refusal and the Alliance
Aur slowly took sips of his tea, the warm liquid soothing his nerves as he gazed in front of him with silence.

"Hmm, the increase in the devour ability has significantly boosted my muscle mass attribute," Aur thought to himself. Although he had been allocating all his stat points into intelligence, the increase in muscle mass was unexpectedly higher.
"Young master, is this force enough?" Elara meekly asked as she massaged his shoulder.
Aur felt the minuscule power of her fingers and couldn't help but shake his head.
Observing his reaction, Elara despaired.
"It's fine, you can leave now," Aur said lightly, taking another sip of tea while gazing at his garden.
"Yes, Master," Elara softly replied, bowing before leaving.
Once she had departed, a frown creased her face.
"Seraphine has already been demoted from head maid, and Master rarely calls me nowadays. If this continues, we might be discarded soon," she murmured helplessly. Her younger sister was a little silly and a little naive.
Feeling her sour hand, Elara became even more speechless.
Every time she massaged Aur, his muscles would be as strong as steel. Even when she applied all her strength, she could barely make a ripple in them. She could feel his muscles becoming stronger and stronger, and his height increasing slightly each time Elara visited him.
"Sigh, what should I do to have something of worth again?" Elara muttered.
Meanwhile, Aur casually took the last sip and finished the remaining tea. His mind felt refreshed from the fragrant brew.
"Yes," Naomi nodded.
"What is it?"
Naomi hesitated for a long time before she resolutely said, "I already like someone."
Aur paused, looking deeply at her. "So what should I do?"
"Deny-"
"That's impossible. You can talk to the second elder yourself," Aur shook his head, turning to Elara. "Show her the way to leave."
"Yes, Master," Elara said, guiding Naomi out.
"You..." Naomi gritted her teeth in frustration.
Aur simply shook his head, and she could only helplessly leave.
"How stupid," Aur muttered to himself once he was alone, before returning to his training.
Since the vision he first saw depicted him being killed in the beast tide alongside his family, naturally Aur knew one thing: if events unfolded in an ordinary manner, he would meet a miserable end. However, the future he saw differed from his current reality.
In the future where Aur met his demise, there was a badge with blurry numbers on it.
Though he couldn't discern the exact numbers, he knew one thing: they denoted that he was still a student. Yet, considering the present situation, he was already an elder which indicated that he was already stronger than his previous self.
Aur tightened his fist, causing the air to tremble with just a slight movement.
"Besides, I have enough personal strength to be confident in escaping even from tier two wizards," his eyes flashed with an indescribable light.
...
"Leader, we have received confirmation of an alliance from all the villages, and the meeting point has been decided in the wilderness," the messenger reported.
"Oh," Noah acknowledged the news with a nod.
"Sigh, this will be troublesome for the other four villages combined. We will also have five tier three wizards, however..."
Noah's eyes narrowed as he slowly stood up, opening the secret compartment and entering the room within.
"Lord Sky," he addressed respectfully.
"What is it?" a hoarse tone tinged with coldness emanated from inside the room.
"Will you be able to help us escape the calamity of the beast tide? William has only just reached the mid-tier one wizard realm and is still far from reaching the tier two wizard realm," Noah spoke nervously.
