2024-05-20 17:49:53Ethan couldn’t fathom how Damien had managed to bring Seraphina under his control, but he quickly realized he was at a significant disadvantage, particularly if Damien decided to join the onslaught he was currently fending off.
Ethan restrained himself, not wanting to seriously injure Seraphina just because she was under Damien’s control, yet she showed no such hesitation, her light blade was faster as she clashed against his stone fists and sliced through his earth spikes with ease, as if cutting through butter.As both Ethan and Seraphina unleashed their martial skills to the max, Ethan disregarded Damien, deducing that he wasn’t going to intervene since he seemed content observing the battle like a spectator, Ethan felt slighted by this, but he was fully aware that he was far less powerful than Damien.Bang!A resounding explosion echoed, not from Ethan and Seraphina’s clash, but from Damien, who had been struck by a massive firebomb set off

[ Pick a Mid Tier Spell to synchronise with] - Flame Wheels- Rock Fangs- Earthen Spikes- Sandstorm- Petrify- Boulder TossAlec marvelled at the thorough organization of the spells he had read, however, when he saw Boulder Toss spell, his interest waned, as it seemed redundant to him as he could already achieve something similar by combining his earth mana with gravity manipulation.On the other hand, spells like Rock Fangs, that was created by his master, and Petrify, which is reputed to be the most challenging Mid Tier spell to master, intrigued Alec. He sensed that choosing either of those spells would lead to surprising developments.Nevertheless, he made the decision to synchronize with Flame Wheels first, as it was the only flame-based mid-tier spell on the list, and Alec saw no reason to delay, confirming his choice, the synchronization process began.[> Synchronizing complete.]<

Alec observed as the eyes of the astral projection underwent a transformation, in that moment, he felt a peculiar pressure emanating from the figure before him. It wasn’t the typical pressure that stemmed from someone being stronger; it was a deeper sense of power that made Alec feel insignificant, like a mere speck of dust that could be easily brushed away if he wasn’t cautious.“You punk, this is the second time you’ve awakened a sliver of my consciousness, how are you able to summon me to this space?” Solara questioned, his words throwing Alec off guard, this wasn’t following the script that Alec had anticipated.According to the plan, the astral projection of the mage was supposed to introduce himself and proceed with demonstrating the Fire Wheel spell, imprinting every muscle movement and detail into Alec’s memory to help him grasp the spell completely. However, no matter how Alec tried to explain the situation, it felt as if the real creator o

Even Mad Dog was taken aback by the striking resemblance between Alec and Rae, however, he refrained from asking any questions when he noticed how completely engrossed Alec was in watching Rae’s every move.Rae unsheathed his blade and swung it towards the Dragoniac, his movements appeared deliberate and slow, yet something seemed to defy the laws of physics in that very moment, as soon as his slash concluded, a fire wheel materialized from his blade, severing the left hand of the Dragoniac.Despite the excruciating pain, the Dragoniac didn’t cease its assault, it lunged forward, attempting an unexpected attack to pierce through Rae’s heart with its tail. But to their surprise, another set of fire wheels appeared beneath Rae’s feet, one black and one red. This sudden boost caused him to levitate higher and at a greater speed, swinging his blade through the skies, Rae unleashed countless black and red fire wheels towards the Dragoniac, imposing a sim

No soothsayer was needed to identify the culprit behind the attack on the walls; he stood right before them.“I thought I made it clear that there’s a training room in the basement, and if you wanted to test your spells, you should have gone straight there,” Selene scolded as she materialized before Alec, delivering a firm knock to his head.Selene hissed in frustration as she surveyed the damage once more, Alec, on the other hand, was still reeling from the encounter, Selene had appeared before him with such speed it was almost like instant teleportation.Even as he noticed her hand moving toward his head, he was unable to dodge or block it, he could only watch as she knocked some sense into him.Despite the chastisement, Alec had reasons to be pleased.[> Ding!.][ Mid Tier Spell – Bullet Blast has been integrated into your spells.][ Lvl 2 Branch has finished refining, pay 400,000 System points to harvest all(Y/N)]T

“Is he still down there?” Beatrice asked, casting a sceptical glance at Agnes, who simply nodded in response.Beatrice couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the unreliable individuals that were her superior, as she found herself alone in dealing with the team, morning had arrived, and the issues from the previous night appeared to have settled down.The walls that Alec had demolished had been magically reconstructed, thanks to some form of reconstruction magic that the staffs of the inn used, but Both Alec and Lucas had descended to the training room in the basement after that event.However, Selene also ventured out before they could inquire further what had happened, she had entrusted the affairs of the team to the captain and vice captain, emphasizing the team as their responsibility before vanishing, but Alec hadn’t emerged from the training room and was not even aware of her disappearance .According to Selene, Alec had provided Lucas wi

The rest of the team made their way into the underground training room, their eyes widening in shock at the spaciousness and advanced design. When they had heard about a training room in the basement of the inn, they had pictured a rundown and makeshift space, however, the reality was far from their initial expectations. It became evident that the training room and the inn occupied two entirely different dimensions, highlighting the stark contrast.As they surveyed the large space, they finally locked eyes with Butcher and Legion, who stood guard in front of Alec at one edge of the training room, however, looking down towards Alec, they realized that he was actually fast asleep. A wave of nervous tension hung in the air, uncertain of how to address the situation, it seemed comical to them that Alec had taken a break to sleep amidst making training plans for the team.Lost in their own thoughts, they were suddenly interrupted by Luc

Endrick, Agnes, and Beatrice settled into their assigned seats among the seat reserved for teams participating in the competition, however, their surprise was palpable when they laid eyes on their coordinator, Selene, seated in the VIP section with Selena beside her.“What do you think she’s planning by coming here without informing us?, It’s unbelievable that she made us believe she was simply going out,” Agnes questioned, squinting as she stared at Selene and her sister, but Beatrice was not even bothered to think with her head and Endrick seems not to care. –“So, tell me, did you actually come here to watch real geniuses fight?” Selena turned to Selene, her sister, and asked, in which Selene responded with a smile.“I came to see if the younger generations of the Battle Mage Academy are as impressive as rumours say, I just hope they don’t disappoint me because I’ve already bet on them to win,” Selene stated confidently, as Selena scof

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
