2022-09-17 02:25:05After dismissing the other kids to continue their training, only Arthur remained by Alec's side.
Curiously, Arthur asked, "So, what's this behemoth's name?" hoping for a cool and impressive answer.However, he could practically see question marks hovering over Alec's head, indicating his lack of a name for the golem.Arthur couldn't help but express his disbelief, saying, "Wait, don't tell me you haven't named this incredible golem yet, It's obvious that it holds a special significance since it's your very first one."Alec admitted with a sheepish smile,"Oh, I never really thought that far ahead."As he stared at the towering golem, he pondered what to call it.Suddenly, with a bright look on his face, Alec turned to Arthur and exclaimed,"What about 'fatty'?"Arthur's expression clearly reflected his confusion as if to say,"What on earth is wrong with your sense of naming?"Trying to offer an alternative, Arthur suggested,"How about 'Titan'? It perfectly suits its size and significance as your first creation, A name like that has a certain dominant appeal, don't you think?"Arthur turned towards his friend, seeking his approval for the name he proposed.After a moment of contemplation, Alec sighed and conceded,"I think I'll go with 'Titan,' the name you chose, I can't deny that it sounds better and feels right."Upon hearing their combat instructor's voice, Arthur chimed in, saying, "Well, let's not waste any more time, We should head in and get to practicing."The instructor had called the young boys to participate in combat drills.Alec and Arthur swiftly returned to the training ground.Alec took on a round of basic boxing and hand-to-hand combat with one of the instructors in the corner, ready to improve his skills.[ Learnt Basic combat skills. Lvl 1 ( 0/50)]Alec couldn't help but notice that a myriad of ideas and techniques for hand-to-hand combat filled his mind.It felt as though he had become a seasoned veteran, someone who had been practicing for years.However, he humbly chose to follow the instructions given by the instructor, diligently executing each skill one by one.Even though Alec felt he already possessed a deeper understanding of the techniques than the instructor himself, he remained focused and committed to perfecting his execution.[ Learnt Basic combat skills. Lvl 1 ( 20/50)]However, Alec couldn't help but notice that his proficiency continued to increase with each practice session.It was apparent that practice truly made perfect in this world.Alec smirked at his own progress, recognizing the improvement he was making.As he continued to practice the combat techniques, Alec's movements became even more fluid and graceful.The instructor couldn't help but stop and watch in awe as Alec flawlessly demonstrated his fist styles.The instructor couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority as Alec seemed to have reached his level of mastery.Word began to spread among the other kids, fueling their admiration for Alec.They saw him as a monster in human form, and this only solidified his position as their revered leader.The instructor, realizing Alec's remarkable talent, contemplated switching him to a more advanced instructor, feeling that Alec was wasting his time with basic teachings.Unbeknownst to the instructor, Alec had completely grasped the technique within a matter of minutes.A new instructor, surprised to see Alec, approached him." Attack me with what you have learned, let me see your progress,"the new instructor challenged, assuming a defensive stance."Alright," Alec responded, rushing towards the man.He initiated a punch with his right hand, but the instructor quickly realized it was a feint as Alec swiftly withdrew his right hand and delivered a punch with his left hand instead.The instructor managed to calmly redirect his hand to protect his exposed ribs, showcasing his skill.Undeterred by the instructor's defense, Alec decided to continue with the punch.He wanted to test his strength since acquiring this new system, and he intended to use this instructor as a benchmark.With a resounding "Bam," Alec's punch landed squarely on the man, causing him to take a few steps back as he tried to steady himself.Alec observed the reaction and noticed a system panel sign appear before him.[insight skill activated ][status]Name : unknown ( Gordon’s instructor)Level : Tier 2 mage ( low)Progress to next level : 10% (mid Tier 2 mage)Affinity : Earth (medium affinity)Alec was taken aback by the astonishing new option presented by the system.He had never imagined that such heaven-defying skills existed, allowing him to peer into and assess his opponent's realm of strength."Oh, it seems you're quite formidable,"the instructor commented nonchalantly, his previous underestimation of Alec forgotten."I shouldn't hold back since you're also a Tier 1 mage."Alec observed his opponent, a growing sense of danger tugging at his instincts as a brown glow enveloped the instructor's body.The instructor assumed a fighting stance and swiftly dashed towards Alec, who had raised his hands in a defensive position, signaling he wasn't ready to engage in combat.The instructor threw a punch directly at Alec's face, aiming to inflict some bruises and redeem himself from his prior humiliation.The perilous sensation intensified, and Alec realized he couldn't halt the impending attack. Thoughts raced through his mind at lightning speed, desperately wishing his golem was by his side.Miraculously, as if jolted by his unspoken wish, the golem sprang into action. It swiftly positioned itself in front of Alec, shield raised protectively. With a loud "bang," the instructor's hands collided with the golem's sturdy shield, causing it to crack slightly under the impact of a strike from a Tier 2 mage.However, the shield had served its purpose, absorbing the full force of the punch and shielding Alec from harm.Alec's eyes trembled with awe at the golem's remarkable battle awareness, which had successfully thwarted the imminent danger."Alright, that's enough," a voice intervened.Alec turned his gaze to find one of the senior instructors approaching them.Recognizing the elder, the instructor quickly lowered his head, respectfully extending both fists in greeting."senior ," the instructor acknowledged."I can see that not only are you talented in your elemental affinity, but you also possess considerable combat skills”"To be able to endure and exchange blows with a Tier 2 mage shortly after becoming a mage even if he was holding back but it still shows you're remarkable, young master," the elderly man praised.“What? Young master! I can't believe I was just attempting to bully the next heir of the Gordons family,"the instructor thought inwardly, his forehead now damp with nervous perspiration.He anxiously pondered the possibility of facing punishment from the senior instructor himself.To his relief, the instructor quickly realized that the elder displayed no interest in engaging with him.The elder's focus was solely on the young master.Seizing the opportunity, the instructor made his exit silently, careful not to draw attention to himself.Following their conversation, the senior instructor and Alec conversed for a while longer before Alec resumed his training.This time, he directed his efforts towards honing his combat abilities, using a wooden puppet as his practice partner.By the end of the day, as Alec left the training area accompanied by his golem, he had successfully elevated his combat skills to level 3.Filled with newfound confidence, Alec now felt ready to face any opponent in a one-on-one confrontation.[ Learnt Basic combat skills. Lvl 3 ( 45/200)]Alec returned home exhausted and overwhelmed from the intense training he had undergone that day.Determined and focused, he decided to take a relaxing bath before diving back into his cultivation practice.Despite achieving the impressive feat of becoming the first mage in the younger generation, Alec knew he couldn't afford to slack off or become complacent.Within the younger generation, Alec had come across several incredibly talented individuals.One of them was Arthur, who seemed to possess immense potential, Utilizing his insight skills with the system, Alec discovered that Arthur was already on the brink of reaching Tier 1 mage status.This realization only fueled Alec's determination to keep pushing himself, knowing he had worthy competitors standing beside him.[status]Name : Arthur GordonLevel : UndecidedProgress to next level : 67% ( Tier 1 mage)Affinity : Earth ( Medium affinity) metal(High affinity)He was well aware that others with dual affinities wouldn't be too far behind him, so Alec was determined to create a significant gap between them.It was crucial for him to maintain his status as the leading mage among the younger generation in order to protect his reputation and prestige as the young master."Hey, come out, smelly boy,"Alec heard his grandfather's voice from outside, prompting him to make his way towards the old man."What's up, old man?"Alec responded nonchalantly, fully aware that if others witnessed his relaxed demeanor towards the patriarch of the Gordon family, they might be angered.However, in that moment, it was just him and his grandfather, allowing him to feel slightly more at ease."You cheeky brat, come here and let me have a good look at you, You didn't even bother to inform me when you became a mage, you little rascal!"The old man wrapped his hand around Alec's head and delivered a solid knock, no matter how much Alec struggled, he couldn't even budge the old man."Old man, you're choking me, stop it!"Alec tapped out, a signal of surrender, However, the old man seemed to still hold some resentment.Still, he eventually let go, saying, "How dare you not tell me you've advanced to become a Tier One mage! I should have been the first person to hear such good news.But no, you kept me in the dark, Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to find out from others that my own grandson has become a mage?" He said this while tightening his grip on Alec's ears."Ouch! Spare me, please! It was a mistake!"Alec pleaded, desperately trying to appease his grandfather, who had paid him quite the visit with such a temper.

Two weeks had passed since Alec's grandfather discovered his mage abilities, He was now hailed as the prodigy of the Gordon family, surpassing the other dual element kids who had taken a whole week to reach Tier 1 mage status. The younger generation of the family was showing promise, with numerous young mages emerging.While some of the new mages grew complacent, taking a break from their training, Alec remained diligent. Not a single day went by where he did not dedicate himself to his combat training during the day and honing his golem-making skills at night. To acknowledge his achievements, his grandfather bestowed upon him a space pouch as a gift, though Alec suspected it was just another indulgence from the old man.Alec's hard work and dedication during training paid off handsomely, His basic combat skills soared to level five, a remarkable accomplishment in such a short span of time.[Basic combat skills -lvl 5( 45/500)]He also improved his golem creation skill and was now a

"Move to the south gate quickly," the Patriarch instructed as the clan members closed in on the central gate.The Gordons Clan members made a slight turn and hurried over, even Alec was surprised to see his grandfather waiting there for them.Up until now, Alec hadn't realized that he wasn't the one leading the charge when they left the family compound. But now, as he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that the old man must have been in a meeting with the City Lord and other powerful family leaders in the city, And It seems they must have agreed upon having the Gordon family protecting the weaker South gate.The Gordon family members arrived at the gate swiftly, climbing up and spreading around the walls to cover any gaps, ensuring that the zombies wouldn't exploit any openings.They allowed the younger generation of the Gordon family to stay behind, watching their backs as they fought off the zombies.The patriarch levitated in the air, observing, as some of the higher-r

After witnessing the impressive display of strength by Titan, he saw him move swiftly to retrieve his trusted weapon - a spiky mace that seemingly materialized from the very earth itself.It appeared to be far sturdier than any steel weapons employed by the Gordins family, indicating that Alec had taken great care in imbuing it with an abundance of mana during its creation.This, coupled with the equally formidable shield he had fashioned, made them the ultimate tools for warfare.It was no wonder the mace effortlessly decimated the zombie's head, Pleased with his handiwork, Alec nodded approvingly, his gaze fixed once again on the magnificent weapon.[ wrath spike mace ]Weapon lvl : 5( upgrade golem rank to upgrade)+9 strength+5 speed+1 enduranceA sudden realization dawned on him - he possessed the ability to enhance Titan's mace with his own mana.It was an extraordinary feat, one that seemed exclusive to him, as he had never witnessed anyone else perform such a task.If others

Finally, he understood how they could awaken their mastery of weapons, All it took was continuous usage of the weapon in battle, eventually leading to the awakening of the weapon mastery.In the case of Spearmanship, Alec attributed their quick progress to the fact that many golems were already using it. This gave them an advantage over Titan, who had previously used a different weapon, However, this didn't matter much since Titan had already learned the skill. As long as he continued using his mace, he would keep improving himself.Alec decided to test his theory, With a mana pool of around 40 points, he created two new spears and focused on improving their strength and agility. As he prepared to upgrade the level of the spears, Arthur approached him, a

Alec became so engrossed in the fight that he found himself edging closer to the front line, disregarding the protective barrier his golems had established. His countenance transformed into that of a battle-crazed warrior, although every strike he made was calculated and precise. As his spear skills grew more fluid with each use, Alec realized that relying on the system to upload the skills into his mind wasn't enough to become truly skilled—it required practice and experience."Ah, kill!" Alec shouted, charging towards the zombies with his spear instead of waiting for them to come within piercing range. Swinging, slashing, and even using the bottom of the spear to push back the encroaching undead, creating enough space to strike them down. Even Titan joined the massacre, as Agnes rallied the younger members of the clan to participate in the fight."We can't let Alec claim all the glory!, Let's all kill a few zombies!"

The system seemed determined to throw him into the jaws of death once again, It was like asking a (low) Tier 1 mage to take down a (mid) Tier 1 mage , a task deemed almost impossible.And to make matters worse, the system was demanding that he eliminate a hundred Tier 2 lifeform while still being in Tier 1 mage realm .

Seeing Alec join the High-Rank battle, the Fourth and Third Elders of the Gordons clan could no longer afford to be lax, they grew more serious, their instincts urging them to move closer to him, so if something were to happen or if the Mental-type zombie devised a plan to target Alec, they would be within reach to support him.However, the zombies they faced were no fools, they too have received orders from the Mental Type Zombie and they wouldn’t allow the Gordons clan elders to break away so easily. The Peak Tier 7, Agility-type zombie was no longer the one on the desperate side; now, it was the Fourth Elder struggling to break free from the fighting, as the tide of battle kept shifting, the desperation passes back and forth between them.On the Third Elder’s side, the two Agility-type zombies avoided direct confrontation, fully aware they were no match for his power.

Apologies for the miscalculation.—The Mental-Type Zombie stood at a distance, now guarded only by the Peak Tier 7 Hunter-Type Zombie, it was still reeling from the shock of Alec slaying a Tier 7 mutated zombie.But now that it considered Alec’s rapid growth, it no longer felt secure with just the Hunter-Type Zombie protecting it. Common sense dictated that Alec shouldn’t be able to kill a Peak Tier 7 Hunter-Type Zombie, one of the strongest combatants on the battlefield. Yet something kept tugging at the back of its mind, making it uneasy. Mental-Type Zombies were prone to paranoia when things didn’t go their way, and with Alec being the reason its tactical strategy was falling apart, its judgment was growing more erratic.It didn’t even send another

The two remaining zombies trembled as they stared at the mage before them, their instincts screamed at them to lunge forward, to sink their teeth into him, to obey the primal urge that drove all lower-level zombies toward the living.But unlike mindless undead, these two had evolved beyond mere hunger, at higher realms, certain zombies awakened consciousness and intelligence and with it, the fear of true death. Unlike their lower-tier counterparts, who threw themselves at prey without hesitation, these two understood that if they fell here, there would be no coming back, this was the difference between them and the normal undead skeletons that embrace with faith. Yet, hesitation would not save them, as Brandon had no intention of waiting.[> Mid-Tier Spell – Sand Prison <]Brandon’s fingers moved rapidly through a series of intricate hand signs, and the sand that had burst apart earlier from the sand cone spell now responded to his command, rising from the ground and wrapping aroun

Alec might have dashed into the air first, but he wasn’t alone, a split second later, Titan and Legion followed, quickly catching up to him.The streaks of flames, ice, and jet propulsion cutting through the sky toward the high-rank battlefield left many watching in shock, no one could quite grasp Alec’s intentions.Below, Alec’s Tier 5 golems, along with those from Titan and Legion squads, surged forward to reinforce the Gordons’ mid-rank mages, increasing their Tier 5 numbers by a staggering twenty-six, the realization that Alec alone could provide the equivalent of twenty-six top-tier 5 realm combatants was a wake-up call for the other forces observing him for the first time. They were witnessing first-hand the rise of a mage who would soon earn the title One-Man Army.“Master sent me to deliver a message, he says you don’t have to hold back anymore, the battle is nearing its end, now is the time to unleash chaos.” Oni whispered stealthily beside Brandon.

Now, with enough points at his disposal, he had made his choice, and that was agility.“I already know what we’ll do! You all will reinforce the Tier 5 army of the Gordons clan, along the way, the rest of Legion and Titan Squad will join up with you,” Alec commanded, turning to Butcher, who had questioned him earlier.“What about you, Master? What will you do?” Hunter asked.“Me? I’ll be hunting down Tier 7 mutated zombies with Titan and Legion by my side, if I can take out the top generals and make that Type 3 mental zombie even more terrified, why waste time going after Tier 6 soldiers?” Alec replied as he instructed the system to allocate 53 points into his agility stat.[ Status Tab ]Name: Alec GordonsRace: Mid-Rank HumanLevel: 96Tier: 5 [Pea

“Ahhhhh!”The Type 3 Mental Zombie’s enraged scream was loud enough to jolt the still-dazed mages watching back to reality, they had all just witnessed Alec Gordon slay a Tier 7 mutated zombie, a feat that seemed almost unbelievable even though they had just witnessed it.Alec was still in the Tier 5 Mage Realm, yet he had just defeated a high-rank lifeform, even with the help of his golems, many onlookers struggled to comprehend what had just happened.“That guy… he—he actually slayed a Tier 7 mutated zombie, that’s a massive loss to the zombie army’s high-rank battle force…” Bryan Lanzt muttered, catching his breath now that he had successfully been able to position the Lanzt clan Tier 4 mages behind the Mid-Rank Gordon Mages, which means he could finally take a moment to process Alec’s battle.A few feet away, Alec pushed himself to his feet, wiping away the blood that still trickled from the corner of his mouth. But he didn’t care, as he could feel a refreshing sensation surging
Before The Chills.
Ever since the battle began, Alec had been analyzing everything, testing his strength against the Tier 7 mutated zombie and understanding the gaps and advantages between them, but now, he felt he had learned enough.And It was time to go all out.He dashed forward, closing in on the Agility-type zombie, a move that caught the Mutated zombie completely off guard, as never in its wildest nightmares would it had imagined Alec would challenge it in a battle of speed.But it was happening, and reacting on instinct, the zombie tried to dash and meet Alec, but the moment it did, its right leg tightened Mid-motion, making it realise that the Hive Queen had made her move again.Snarling, the zombie turned its gaze toward her, only for the Hive Queen to screech defiantly back.It took every ounce of willpower for the mutated zombie not to abandon its orders and attack her instead, but this time, it had learned its lesson. Even though it couldn’t see the web strings due to the Hive Queen’s man

The zombie snickered, realizing that its attack had not only failed to kill Hive Queen it had also put it in a precarious position. As if she attempted to restrict its speed again with such an array formation , it might struggle to break free a second time.The Phase spell wasn’t something that could be used consecutively without a brief cool down, due to the immense strain it put on the caster’s body, those who hadn’t fully mastered it risked severe backlash if they used it consecutively, and that was exactly what troubled the agility-type zombie.Luckily for it, neither Alec nor his golems seemed aware of this critical weakness in its earlier spell, but even so, they weren’t about to let the zombie kill Hive Queen under any circumstances.“You pesky creation of mana...” the Type 3 zombie growled, glaring at Hunter, whose hooked left hand was still clamped tightly onto its bladed arm.The next second, a powerful force yanked it downward, as Hunter had summoned his own golem minion
Beatdown 2.
[> High Tier Skill – Phase <]The voice of the Tier 7 mutated zombie rang out, just as it was on the verge of receiving a devastating attack from three different angles, its dark green eyes gleamed with an eerie brilliance, and in the next instant, its entire body twitched violently.Alec watched in shock as the mutated zombie’s form blurred, its body vibrating at such an unnatural speed that it seemed to slip through the hundreds of web-like strings restraining it, and in a split second, it was free.Three deafening bangs echoed through the battlefield. A leg, a bladed arm, and a claw lashed out in three different directions, the next thing Alec knew, both he, Oni, and Tempest Butcher were sent hurtling backward from the location they came from, slamming into the ground hard.Alec’s injury was the worst, the zombie’s bladed hand had carved a deep gash across his chest, leaving behind traces of toxic green flames that immediately sought to burrow into his wound.But before they co
