Deep within the region, where the divine tree ruled, one of its detached roots, which had previously attacked Alec and Astrid's group, emerged from the ground. Its eyes opened wide as it let out a piercing shriek that resonated throughout the forest, awakening all the wooden lifeforms under its command."That bastard is here, Terran Dunce's disciple is here, I will get him this time, even if it's the last thing I do, Gather!" the root declared, commanding the nearby woods to move and encircle its body. Slowly, the detached root transformed into a humanoid figure composed entirely of pure wood.Once it had finished forming, cracks adorned its core. Gritting its teeth, the root studied its reflection in a nearby pond with a sense of determination."Terran did this to me, so I am going to kill his disciple and make him go mad once again, It would be even better if he comes after me in anger and the Orc overlords finish him off once and for all. That way, I can regain my lost prestige

The Orc chief swung his large battle axe down on the humanoid form of the Root who led his army of plant life forms in pursuit of Alec and his group. Meanwhile, the same army struggled to keep the Orcs out of the race to reach Alec and his group.Suddenly, the Root sensed someone attempting to launch a sneak attack and swiftly swung his left hand behind him, conjuring a wooden shield in mid-air, stopping the Huge Battle Axe. He turned around to confront the Orc chief, who appeared like an evil incarnate in his skull helmet as he rode on his wolf mount."How dare you come between me and my preys?" the Root questioned, slamming his body towards the Wolf that had finally caught up with him."you, a mere plant, dare call living beings your prey?, When did you become a beast that preys on humans as you desire ?, Don't mess with me. I'm certain now that you're chasing the same humans who killed my hunters, raided and stole my power stones. And you're in my way!" The Orc chief responded wi

Despite having its arms severed, Titan showed no signs of pain or emotion. Its face remained icy cold, with a steady glare in its eyes as it headbutted the Orc chief with great force. The chief staggered back, and as he regained his footing, a sense of imminent danger washed over him.He instinctively tilted his head to the left, narrowly avoiding Legion's laser spear as it whizzed past his head."Shit, I'm going to kill you... Ahhhh!!" The Orc chief continued his threats towards Legion, but in that very moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Thankfully, he had quickly reinforced that region with Qi and managed to hold on to whatever had caused the pain. Otherwise, it likely would have pierced his heart by now.He gazed at Titan, who had transformed his right hand into a large pike and impaled the area where the his armor had been previously broken by Legion. All this time, the chief had underestimated both golems, failing to realize that they had been scheming to take him d

“Damn that man!, They all parade around like righteous mages, but they’re just a bunch of assholes, full of greed like any normal person, Why do they hide behind those uniforms?” Arthur ranted, his anger consuming him. They had just been dismissed by the captain who had asked for them and was responsible for the wing near the City gate they came in. The Captain had made sure to meticulously gathered every detail about the Nature Low Power Mine, down to the last piece of information, even uncovering the identity of the mine’s owner at the moment from them. Once he felt satisfied, he waved Alec and his gang out of his room without bothering to face them. As he motioned with his hand, a strong gust of wind forcefully ejected them all from the room. This infuriated Arthur even more, They never even got to see the captain’s face, and he had clearly not helped them when they were being chased by the orc army and the plant life forms. It only just worsened their already negative impres

While Alec’s recent achievements were the subject of discussion throughout the academy, not everyone was pleased by his return to the spotlight, after what he did in the Abyss Realm. Biased seniors, who had previously dismissed Alec’s survival in the Abyss as mere luck when he was first tossed in, were now scrambling to find fresh excuses. Their reluctance to admit their own errors led them to claim that Alec’s accomplishments were solely due to the help he received.These individuals conveniently overlooked the fact that Alec had ventured into the Abyss even before reaching the Tier 3 realm and twice for that matter, proving them wrong once again. Even if they were in Alec’s shoes, being pursued by an army of second Dimension races with three Tier 4 mages as their protectors, they too would protest and would definitely not even make it out in one piece. However, no amount of noise they made could overshadow Alec’s growing fame.As word of Alec’s deeds spread throughout the school
