The Golem Mage Who Is Prey, Who Is Predator (1).
The monk clenched his teeth, angered by Alec’s attitude, but he couldn’t deny that Alec’s words aligned with the rules set by the competition committee.The committee had implemented these rules, including the elimination of a safe space in the Grand Arena like the one used in the first round, all this to trap the War God Academy team in a confrontation with the remaining of the prestigious Great Eight Academy. The committee believed that if the War God Academy team couldn’t surrender easily, they would be mercilessly defeated. And this would showcase to the spectators, who had gathered to witness the underdogs create more miracles, that the Great Eight Academy’s prestige should never be challenged.The committee was compelled to make these changes due to numerous complaints from ordinary academies. These academies argued that the financial support granted to the top eight teams was excessively high, as they believed that even if a small allocation from the main budget was share

“Begin!” The referee’s voice resounded, officially commencing the match, Omar, towering over Alec, summoned an iron dagger from his space ring and swiftly charged towards Alec, as his braided hair swayed with the wind.Clang!Alec tightly gripped the stone dagger he had created, holding it in reverse with his left hand, as he skilfully defended against Omar’s first strike. Alec glanced up, locking eyes with Omar and noticed a clear expression of surprise etched upon his opponent’s face.During Omar’s observation of Alec’s easy defeat of Steele, he had primarily focused on Alec’s incredible speed in evading Steele’s attacks. Omar believed that Alec’s victory was primarily a result of his exceptional swiftness, which surpassed Steele’s reactionary abilities.Upon stepping onto the stage, Omar was well aware that he couldn’t match Alec’s speed normally, however, he possessed confidence in his ability to track Alec’s movements with his eyes, even if it meant reacting slightly slower.

After successfully deflecting all of Alec's bullets, Omar aimed the blade on his right hand directly at Alec.[> Mid Tier Spell – Blade Spark <]In an instant, the bone blade that had emerged from Omar's hand shot towards Alec with astonishing speed, seemingly unaffected by the gravity force field that Alec had created.The tip of the bone blade emitted a brilliant light, giving the audience the impression that it would ignite upon striking its intended target, which is Alec.The fans of the Vajra Academy held their breaths in anticipation, their eyes fixed on the imminent collision between the bone blade and Alec. They firmly believed that there was no possible way for Alec to evade such a swift attack at such close proximity.However, just as the bone blade was mere inches away from piercing Alec's face, his body jerked and he vanished once again. The audience was abruptly reminded that Alec was not a slow and unwieldy fighter. And he had already demonstrated his agility in the p

#VIP section“Are my eyes deceiving me? Are those elemental veins I see coursing through that boy’s body?” The Head Abbot of the Vajra Academy couldn’t help but blurt out, as he watched Alec being beaten. “No matter how many times we try to deny it, there is no doubt about what we are witnessing at this very moment, those are indeed earth elemental veins, that little twerp is just incredibly lucky,” the Dean of the Bloodline Academy chimed in, unable to resist giving a compliment.“But I still can’t begin to fathom how this little mage, who hasn’t even reached the high rank, is able to evolve his element affinity to the manipulation stage.” “ And if I’m not mistaken, he is awakening the earth element, given the brown colour coursing through his veins and merging with his blood,” Christopher Lightbringer, the Vicar General of the Holy Grail Academy, added.“It appears that the War God Mage Academy will soon return to its glory days with the acquisition of such a genius, and with tha

Pay 500,000 system points to get a random sub-power of the earth element (Y/N)]Alec, at this moment, felt the pain that had invaded his core slowly disappearing, leaving only the stinging sensation from the punches Omar had landed on him while he was vulnerable. He gathered the blood in his mouth and spat it onto the ground before accepting the option presented by the system. Though he didn't fully understand the details, but he knew it would undoubtedly benefit him. Deciding to go all in, he believed that nothing could be worse than the pain he had just endured."You better be worth every cent I'm paying," Alec muttered inwardly as he watched the system interface disappear a

“And the winner is Alec Gordons!” the referee announced quickly, after realizing that Omar had lost consciousness the moment his mental energy passed by the Quick sand again. Without wasting even a split second, he rushed toward the quicksand and plunged his hand in, dragging Omar Khan out to prevent any further injuries. Alec, who stood nearby, could feel the oppressive aura that was emanating from the referee’s body directed towards him, attempting to pressure him into kneeling. The referee was furious with Alec’s defiance and had been looking for an opportunity to teach him a lesson. And now, he saw a chance to exert pressure on Alec without anyone suspecting, as the crowd of spectators would probably blame Alec falling due to his injuries and bloodied appearance. However, his plan backfired; not only did Alec refuse to kneel, but he was now staring at the referee with a displeasure that was even more intense than before.Alec was aware that the referee held a bias against th

Bodhi came to a stop, bending lightly and placing his sword in front of him, after observing Alec’s lackluster attitude and minimal movement, Bodhi suspected that Alec refrained from moving to prevent exacerbating a critical internal injury he had incurred when he faced Omar. However, his suspicions didn’t end there, as from the moment he had released his Qi-infused slashes, Bodhi had noticed that Alec restricted his movement to the bare minimum, only mobilizing his hands when necessary for spellcasting. With this observation in mind, Bodhi decided to test his theory that Alec had become completely ineffective in close combat situations.This curiosity drove Bodhi to close the distance between himself and Alec, wanting to challenge Alec’s capabilities in close-quarters combat. As it seemed suspicious to Bodhi that someone like Alec, who has now become known for his proficiency in close combat, suddenly resorted to attacking from a long range. So in order to put his theory to the

[> Mid Tier Spell – Raging Waves <]After successfully preventing Alec from using his new set of sand control spells, Bodhi finally decided to test him based on his coordinator’s suggestion. He moved his hands backward, connecting his Mana with water element particles in the air, as he conjured a powerful water wave behind him. With a swift motion, Bodhi directed the water towards Alec’s stationary position.“I can’t believe I’m witnessing such an advanced version of the water wave spell from another person, he must have dedicated himself to rigorous practice to elevate the spell to the Mid Tier level,” Selene commented for the first time, since Alec stepped onto the stage to fight, and probably she only did that cause she was impressed by the dedication Bodhi had put in practicing his water element spells.But instructor Jasper, was filled with rage, and questioned Selene’s seemingly calm demeanour. “How can you sound so composed? The captain of our team is on the brink of defea

Which was equivalent to at least another ten bodies if they were counting in Tier 5 terms; and now the pills’ value had reached the equivalent of twenty Tier 5 bodies which is the original realm Alec had placed the bid.As the two men stared toward each other’s booth, trying to anticipate each other’s next move and act as cautiously as possible, Alec stood with his hands behind his back, neither announcing nor acknowledging their bids.Everyone was so pumped about his heated bidding battle that the both Booth were probably the only ones being stared at, the crowd found the bidding battle far more interesting than expected, many realizing they even enjoyed watching such power plays.‘Yes! Fight! Bid and spend all your corpses here, in the end, I’ll still be the biggest winner, no matter how much you believe I’m taking a loss,’ Alec thought as he watched them close to breaking down, though he kept a nonchalant face, deep down he was almost jumping for joy seeing how much the pills were
Auction 4.
“For the second round, I’ve prepared a batch of various items to speed things up,” Alec began as he walked towards the stone pillar and pulled off the black cloth that had been covering the items. “I have here three different items for the second round, and as you can see, there are three bottles, each holding cultivation pills, the first bottle contains ten Tier 3 cultivation pills.” “The second bottle holds another ten Tier 4 cultivation pills, while the third bottle contains five Tier 5 cultivation pills, and these three bottles will not be sold separately but as a joint sale, and the starting bid is six Tier 5 bodies.” Alec finally concluded his introduction of the second item, which happened to be a bundled sale, after his statement about the contents of the three pill bottles, the entire auction house fell silent. The breaths of many inside hitched as they could hardly believe their eyes, all this while, when they wanted to cultivate, they had relied on power stones harveste
Auction 3.
The second female mage who had moved backstage earlier now rolled out another table, this time two tables interlocked together to prevent them from separating, one of the tables was empty, while the other was covered in a dark cloth, immediately making many in the crowd realize that was the second item of the day hidden beneath it.As the female mages reached the center, she and the first lady who had remained on stage with Alec began transferring the newly purchased armour, won by the black-clothed man onto the empty table. Once they were done, they placed the new item on the new empty stone pillar.Afterward, the first lady rolled the armour offstage while the crowd waited eagerly for the unveiling of the second item.“Well, in this situation, I’ll go straight to the point and not keep you all in suspense,” Alec said as he started walking toward the stone pillar. However, despite his words, there were many in the crowd who didn’t believe him.Because as he was observing some peop

While those interested in the armour were prepared and waiting for Alec to declare the starting bid, the others, who had no intention of bidding couldn’t help letting their imaginations run wild. As they felt If the opening item was already of mid-tier caliber, what else could possibly be in store?, Many silently prayed that something matching their desires would appear next so they could make use of the corpses they had brought in their space rings.As murmurs of speculation filled the hall, Alec stood calmly, a knowing smile on his face as he observed their expressions. This was all part of his plan, starting strong with a high-tier item to set the tone, even if the next few items didn’t match the first in quality, the excitement would remain. As the crowd had already been made to believe that treasures awaited them, and that momentum alone would keep their spirits high, as the eagerly awaited what’s next.This was the power of first impressions, and Alec knew how to wield it
Auction 1.
Though Alec already had his suspicions about who was responsible for the probing, but he chose to act as if he hadn’t noticed anything at all.“Seeing how eager you all are to discover what we’ve prepared for you today, I won’t waste any more of your time, especially as you all are respectable figures, so allow me to first explain the one and only rule of the Gordons Auction House.” Alec began, his voice calm but firm.“No matter who you are or what position you hold outside these walls, once you step into this hall, you’ve accepted to be under our care, and with that comes our expectation of a little respect back from you, it’s quite simple, really.”“Our one rule is this: there will be no fighting inside the auction hall, if anyone believes themselves to be above reason, they are free to try gathering mana in a bid to attack, but just know, whatever happens after that, we won’t be held responsible.” Alec’s tone was firm, a quiet authority threading each word as he addressed the crow
D Day 2.
Just as the crowd waited in eager anticipation for the auction to begin, a sudden flash of light burst across the stage, instantly drawing the attention of every guest, conversations fell silent as all eyes turned toward the source, and from the backstage, Alec emerged, flanked by two female mages at his side.He wore a regal-looking robe, deep brown with black trim, bearing the Gordons clan emblem boldly emblazoned on his back and a smaller crest over his left chest, though he’d clearly attempted to comb his hair back neatly, but a few stubborn strands still jutted out at the edges, adding an almost roguish charm to his appearance.Beside him stood two stunning female mages, dressed in elegant yet provocative outfits Alec had personally arranged for the event, their short skirts and stylish tops left little to the imagination, instantly catching the attention of several lustful onlookers. But these women weren’t just decoration, their job for the day was to assist Alec in presentin
D Day.
While the city lord waited impatiently for any word from the Gordons clan, a message finally reached him, just a day before the long-awaited auction, he sat in his study, his usual spot by the window that directly faced the Gordons estate. It had become something of a habit for him, to watch from there, hoping for a sign of unrest at the Gordons, but to his quiet frustration, the sealed gates of the Gordons had been opened, and the estate had come alive again, bustling as though nothing had happened a few days ago.As he stared out, a knock sounded at the door, and he turned to see his son, Alistair, stride in with an unreadable expression.“Father, there’s finally news from the Gordons clan,” Alistair announced, stopping beside his father’s chair.Those words alone made the previously lax city lord sit up, a sharp gleam of interest in his eyes. “Speak. What is it?”Alistair wasted no time. “The Gordons have dispatched envoy mages across the city, reaffirming that the auction w
Merit System.
It had been days since the three assassins were dispatched to the Gordons Clan to eliminate Alec, but with no word or sign of their success, the City Lord was beginning to regret his impulsive decision, the silence gnawed at him as a bitter reminder that he might have once again acted too hastily.He still fumed at how Alec had exchanged sharp words with him in front of so many people, tarnishing his credibility, and the only way he knew to deal with such a problem was to erase it. Alec was quickly becoming another Gordons weed, stubborn, persistent, and dangerously difficult to uproot.On the night of the planned assassination, he had seen the massive array deployed over the Gordons estate, he’d almost allowed himself to relax, convinced that the assassins must have succeeded in their mission. In his mind, there was no other reason for the Gordons to raise such a formation unless it was to contain either someone or something, and he believed it was to keep the assassins from escap
The Delivery.
Eventually, the night dragged on as the mages of the Gordons Clan who hadn’t joined the earlier battle busied themselves, moving wine and supplies in preparation for the celebration ahead.It was tradition in the Gordons Clan that whenever a mage advanced to a new realm, they were to celebrate the breakthrough with loved ones and officially register their new realm at the Clan Hall the following morning. This helped the Elders and the Patriarch track the steady rise in the clan’s strength, but tonight was anything but ordinary, over nine hundred mages had broken through whether it was to a new realm or a small breakthrough in the same realm all would be celebrated tonight as all logistic duties like recording the new realms was pushed to the next day. Some from the main bloodline, others from mixed bloodlines, and even a few enforcers the clan had taken in over the years. Yet, none of that mattered tonight, the entire clan was uniting in a single celebration, preparing to honour
