“Hmmm,” Titan made a small noise as he received a transmitted message from one of his ice golem summons. He glanced over at Alec, who was still screaming in pain after choosing to upgrade his endurance. Alec’s body was displaying a red colour, particularly on his chest.But Titan held onto the news he had just received, patiently waiting until Alec finished enduring the pain and collapsed on the ground, defeated.“Master, it seems both Butcher and Saint have gotten themselves into a bit of trouble!” Titan informed.“How big of a trouble? Is it a horde?” Alec inquired, furrowing his brows.“No, Master. It’s just a Tier 4 demonic beast,” Titan responded, and Alec’s annoyance was evident as he knew that those two won’t provoke a Tier 4 demonic beast.“How is that even possible?, How can a Tier 4 beast manage to stay in the lower region without being hunted down?, The Beasts of the middle region would never tolerate a Tier 4 demonic beast lingering in the lower region, disrupting the j
Alec, who had been in discussion with the system spirit, finally realized that he hadn’t felt any pain while upgrading his Agility stats.It dawned on him that his high endurance had not only increased his physical capabilities but also his pain tolerance.“Well, let’s get rid of the bastard that’s making things difficult for my golems,” Alec declared, dashing towards the location he had designated for Butcher and Saint, with Titan and the system spirit golem following closely behind.--Meanwhile, the battle between the Tier 4 demonic beast and Butcher and Saint raged on. Butcher summoned all five of his storm elemental golems, hoping to slow down the Tier 4 demonic beast that had a lions face in front of them.However, a single roar from the lion’s head unleashed a shock wave that quickly infiltrated their bodies, resulting in their swift demise.Butcher was disheartened to discover that his elementals which were only peak Tier 1 summons could not even withstand one attack from the
The captain could only watch helplessly as the Orcs summoned by the Tier 7 Orc descended upon the city’s barrier like a horde of beasts. With there every strike, they demonstrated an unwavering determination as if their lives depended on penetrating the barrier. But despite the continuous trembling their strikes caused , the barrier showed no immediate signs of giving way.However, the captain knew that the energy of the barrier wouldn’t be able to hold for another hour if this continued. He felt If the Mid-ranking Orcs or the Tier 7 Orc decided to lend their strength, the barrier would surely collapse within the next thirty minutes.Even though the captain had spoken confidently about defending the city, the loss of contact with the academy and the inability to call for backup had already planted the seed of escape in his mind if things took a turn for the worse. He was a selfish person and not the type to sacrifice his life for such matters, In fact, if it weren’t for the barrie
The Orc leaders were still surprised by the salvo of arrows that had been shot at the Orc soldiers, They hadn’t even had time to prepare a command before the second round landed, killing many Orcs who were still climbing up the walls. Witnessing the deaths of their companions, the remaining Orcs decided to proceed with caution as the Tier 7 Orcs ordered them to raise their shields that was strapped to their backs in defense against any more arrows. However, no more arrows were launched after the second round.Despite the absence of arrows, the Orcs continued to climb cautiously, shielded as best they could. Their climbing speed dropped considerably, but they persisted with their shields up, with the fear that another round would just fall next. What the Orcs failed to realize was that the guards had stopped shooting arrows not because they were reloading, but because the commanding guard had sent a group of guards to collect rocks strewn near the gates.Although the Black armoured
At the academy, the entire council of esteemed Great Instructors had gathered in the meeting hall of the new Dean’s House. As they exchanged uneasy glances, the weight of hurt and anger was palpable among them. All of this stemmed from a revelation that shook them to the core.It had all started when one of the two Tier 8 mages who is responsible for guarding the space passages to the Orc regions approached the new Dean with grave news. That the portal that had functioned flawlessly for years had undergone a drastic change, and the once serene blue light had transformed into a forbidding shade of red, impeding any mage from entering the space passage.This development alone was enough for the academy to realize that the city in the Abyss was under attack. But what infuriated the new Dean even more was the discovery that there were no assigned High Tier mages within the based city in the Abyss. Their absence was undoubtedly the reason why the space passage had been sealed off that
The level of confidence with which Gideon made this promise was as if he was certain that almost all the mages in that space passage would end up dead. Ignatius stared at his smile and snorted, He had harboured a deep hatred for Gideon for a long time. While both of them were peak Tier 8 mages, Ignatius was the only peak tier 8 Mage present in the academy that represented the disciplinary hall. On the other hand, Gideon’s faction had multiple peak tier 8 mages still In the academy, and he held a higher position in the academy as a top great instructor. Because the distribution of resources and ranking of the Great instructors was based on the strength of their respective disciples, which further magnified Ignatius’s animosity towards Gideon.Gideon had managed to recruit an abundance of talented mages with the factions help, including his own son who had also become a Tier 8 Mage due to the help from the faction. This success ensured that Gideon had left Ignatius in the dust a lo
Meanwhile, back at the Abyss, the commanding Guard removed his helmet, revealing his face, as he raised his hand in a swiping gesture just as the Tier 7 orc prepared to strike. His movement caused a gentle breeze to passed through, and to everyone’s surprise, the orc’s attack disappeared before it could be unleashed.“How long do you plan on hiding?, Come out already,” the Guard taunted. “Your setup may be deceiving, but if you want to convince me that you intend to conquer a human city with just one Tier 7 Mage, then you clearly don’t take your ambitions seriously, Orc Commander Grimgore.”The Guard, with his face fully revealed, spoke with confidence, like he truly was sure the person he called was responsible for the attacks on the academy based city. While many struggled to remember who he was, there were a select few who were still hiding close to the gates and recognized him instantly.“Wait, am I hallucinating, or isn’t that the short man we always saw at the counter of the
The Gordon’s clansmen have showed him that a person’s battle powers were not solely determined by their realm, a fact he reluctantly admitted after being with them for just few hours. Even now, in the city, he only felt safe because they were still with the Gordons. Because he knew that The Gordons’ clansmen would have their backs if anything went wrong, especially since the city was going through an attack at the moment.That’s why him and what was left of his group continued to follow the Gordons; as they always seemed to have a plan for any situation. As much as Pale didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t deny the feeling that he got that him and his group wouldn’t survive for long in the Abyss without the support of the Gordons’ clansmen, they were a little Experienced now but they knew they were still amateurs.“We would be delighted to accompany you until you leave the Abyss,” Pale said, extending his hand for Agnes to shake.But Agnes was taken aback, She never expected Pale,
