Alec’s neck twitched ever so slightly as a high-speed water spear sliced through the air, narrowly missing him. The sky was filled with an onslaught of water elemental attacks – water spears, flood dragons, and even water wheels sent by the sea demon leader Yet, regardless of the assault, Alec effortlessly dodged each strike with millimetre precision.Perplexed by Alec’s uncanny evasion skills, the sea demon leader inquired, “Do you have eyes in the back of your head?” His gaze followed Alec’s subtle bend as a water wheel, manipulated for a sneak attack from behind, whizzed harmlessly past.A sly grin formed on Alec’s lips as he finally removed his hands from his pockets. “You’ll need to do more than that, for within a few meters of me lies my domain, and this slow attacks would never hurt me “ he retorted.“Quit dancing around and face me!” the sea demon leader commanded, lunging at Alec with a trident forged from the water element, responding to the demon leader’s challenge, A
The leader of the sea demon had underestimated Alec’s resilience and fighting ability, as humans typically didn’t have an advantage against other races especially ones with unique racial talents, so the leader was taken aback. As throughout their battle, Alec showed no signs of fatigue, almost as if he possessed an endless reserve of stamina, adding to the leader’s astonishment, Alec’s skin proved impervious to a Tier 5 attack even as a Tier 4 Mage, an extraordinary feat for a human as no Tier 5 human would try taking hiss attacks head on without no armour on. Secretly, the leader hoped that this might all be a hallucination, but the sight of Alec’s determined and intense gaze, despite the numerous cuts and flowing blood o his skin, dispelled any doubt, and he realised this was undeniably real.“ Since you desire death so ardently, allow me to teach you why you should never provoke the wrong race,” the leader declared, summoning another water trident, this time in a light green shad
While Legion observed with a smile at how his master had handled the leader of the sea demon horde, Alec found it odd to see his cyborg golem display such an expression.He attempted to step forward but staggered, overwhelmed by a flood of new information invading his mind, memories of various sword moves and blade techniques seemed to etch themselves into his brain. As the pain he experienced was intense, a result of the excessive information forcibly imprinting itself within him.Legion quickly moved to Alec’s side, concern etched on his robotic face, Alec had faced many similar challenges and had never once faltered after a battle, and that was the main reason which heightened Legion’s worry.Alec shook his head, trying to dispel the effects of the headache that had accompanied the influx of knowledge, as his brain had assimilated all the new data from the sword and blade techniques , he clenched his fist and allowed a slight smile to form on his lips. Although he hadn’t ascende
The reason Alec no longer referred to it as a Mana pool again was straightforward: he had obliterated it countless times while practicing the latest technique from the book passed down by the patriarch of the Gordons clan and now his body is no longer restricted to a small pool but now his hole body was acting as his Mana pool.But he did have the system’s assistance which was why he had survived such an experience, But the reason Alec’s had been quick to catch on was largely due to his deep familiarity with the two particular runes, the earth rune, in the middle had a sign shaped like a bullet, and that is when he realised ; these runes were the manifestation of his innate spells when he advanced to Tier 2. When he had broken through to Tier 3, instead of discarding them to create new Tier 3 innate spells, they evolved, sparing Alec the need to replace his innate abilities, and he was quite content with this; as he didn’t often use the flaming aura, but he was fond of the Terra bu

But if any member of the Ancient Blaze Clan were to learn that Alec had awakened the black flame and was so nonchalant about it, they might just react with anger and jealousy, given that many of
“They have already regrouped and are in close proximity to the Academy, but it seems they have no intention of returning today, should I leave a message for them to hasten their return?” asked a man clad in the uniform of the War God Mage Academy.He was delivering a report to Selene, who was engrossed in reading a scroll. Without looking up at the mage, she shook her head and replied, “No! They have successfully completed a series of missions that we believed they wouldn’t finish within the given timeframe, not only did they accomplish them magnificently, but they have also grown stronger beyond our expectations, although they are not yet at a level we deem them sufficient to win the inter-academy competition, but we now believe they will not suffer an embarrassing defeat like their predecessors.” Selene concluded with a shrug“But if they fail to arrive on time, we will be late for the opening ceremony of the inter-academy competition,” the mage interjected, clearly surprised, ho
The Tree's ability to refine ten perfect pills of excellent rank quality from a single corpse left Alec deep in thought. He wondered if this was merely a one-time occurrence, attributed to the fact that the Chronomancer had exceptional talent and supreme element affinity, or if the Tree just possessed the inherent capacity to refine such high-grade pills from the lifeform it consumed.The intensity of curiosity gnawed at Alec's insides, prompting him to test his theories later on, he yearned to uncover the truth, to determine whether his speculations were accurate or entirely unfounded.Furthermore, Alec was still thinking if the drops from the Tree were different every time, like if it was varying with each individual or race that was consumed, he even considered the possibility that even demonic beasts, lacking power stones but possessing power crystals, would have unique outcomes when they drop their loot.A stray thought crossed his mind for a second, leading him to briefly conte
The capital of the Northern Kingdom was bustling with activity as the inter-academy competition drew near. Inns throughout the city were experiencing a surge in business, with every room fully booked even the most modest establishments were all filled up. Prestigious academies had secured their accommodations in some of the finest lodgings in advance, like a full month before the tournament was set to even begin.Meanwhile, the less renowned academies that had only just arrived in the city were struggling to find suitable lodgings, due to their lacking preparations, but the influx of visitors wasn’t limited to students and scholars; the city was also teeming with respected High and Ancient Mage clans on the lookout to recruit talented mages from lower clans or independent rogue mages. If they didn’t strike gold by finding an exceptionally talented individual, they always made sure at least they made an effort to scout for those with potential, enticing them with the prospect of work
