*** Before the attack ***Alec approached his group, discreetly tapping them on the shoulders as if offering a friendly greeting.Despite his cheerful demeanor, his true intentions remained well-hidden.Having been together for a long time, the Gordons clan's group was well-versed in recognizing different signs.They swiftly set up their large tent, positioning it to face each other as if preparing for an important gathering.Opting to stay separate from the Wild adventurer group and their bonfire, they gradually filtered into Alec's tent.Once everyone had assembled, Alec cleared his throat and began silently mouthing his words, careful not to make a sound.Thankfully, the group managed to decipher Alec's intended message.Some of them even engaged in unrelated conversations to divert any suspicion."I apologize for the circumstances, but it seems we may be facing an attack tonight, I already have a plan in place, but going forward, we must avoid discussing important information open
" how do you like that now ehhn” Alec looked up and saw the smirk on Kethra's face, and he felt an intense surge of anger towards him. However, he managed to control himself and kept his focus on finding a solution to the current predicament."You can forget about controlling any Mana for the next 24 hours, You only have two options, and one of them is if I deactivate it myself..." Kethra said, his voice dripping with arrogance, clearly hoping to witness fear in Alec's eyes. But Alec remained steadfast, refusing to give Kethra the satisfaction he desired."Let me guess, there's no way you're helping me out of this, right?, Just get straight to the point, what's the second option?" Alec asked with an expressionless face, Despite the worry from his clansmen mages, Alec's unwavering confidence gave them reassurance that he could handle the situation.Kethra's smug smile grew wider as he spoke, "The second option would be to kill me, thereby deactivating the Low Rank Arcane Lock Art
With such an attack loomed over him at such a close range, it seemed impossible for Alec to escape unscathed. But something changed within him, as if he entered some type of battle state where his body acted on instinct. Without hesitation, he shifted into a battle stance, unleashing his full aura, and caught sight of the end of his sanguine cloak wrapping around his Changdao. Alec could swear he felt the blade pulsating in his hand, akin to a human heartbeat, after it connected with the cloak . In that moment, a surge of power unlike anything he had ever felt coursed through him, It wasn't just the augmented strength from the system or the small upgrades in his glowing armor. There was an unknown energy emanating from the sanguine cloak that connected to his tattoo and wrapped around his Changdao, forming a powerful resonance link between his weapon and armor.As Alec witnessed the blade glow with a sanguine color, fueled by his intense determination, he wasted no time. With a
The mages of the Gordons clan couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing in front of them. The Mage that had just breached their defense lines had been swiftly neutralized and When the icy fog finally cleared, they were met with an icy statue of the Mage, with a lifelike expression frozen on his face.Even in death, he never would have thought he would end up like this. His facial expression showcased shock and regret, The mages in Kethra's group no longer appeared eager to charge into the line. The loss had affected their mindset, and the Gordons clansmen secretly wished for Titan to unleash such attacks again, hoping to eliminate a large number of the mages they faced.When they looked at Titan's face, it was evident that he wasn't the type to engage in much conversation or explain why he can't use such a attack constantly. Suddenly, there was a loud bang as Legion's missiles slammed into the water barrier hastily erected by the magic path mage of Kethra's group. It served as
As Legion broke through their defenses, the realization dawned on them that they had greatly underestimated the golem. It was a deceptive, pretending to be a harmless sheep while he is powerful wolf in disguise who is just forced to defend due to the weak Gordons clansmen. Legion swiftly wiped the two mages nearest to him with the bottom of his spear, fully aware that engaging them in battle would only prolong the fight.He had no interest in such a prolonged skirmish, as it would only lead to him being surrounded quickly, jeopardizing his main mission. His objective was to infiltrate their formation and take out the Magic Path Mage of Kethra's group.All the taunting and banter exchanged between him and Titan had a purpose - to goad the mage into revealing a weakness. Even their bet was nothing more than a playful jest, The intricate plan they had devised was unique to them. This surprised the Gordon's group, as Titan rarely engaged in conversations with anyone other than his ma
Alec and the rest of the gang anxiously waited till dawn for the effects of the Orb of Captivity to wear off.Finally, James and the remaining group of mages who had stood by him were able to emerged from the imprisoning Orb Of Captivity."I'm truly sorry for what happened and the fact that my group, whose purpose was to protect and guide you, ended up trying to harm you," James admitted as he stepped out of the Orb, His embarrassment prevented him from meeting Alec's eyes right away.Following the battle against Kethra's group, they attempted to communicate with James and the other imprisoned mages, only to realize that understanding their words was no longer possible.Agnes then shared something she had read, explaining that some certain Artifacts that were designed to seal mages also had the ability to silence their voices after a certain amount of time. It was a mechanism that helped keep the captured mages hidden, Fortunately, the Orb that Kethra had obtained turned out to be a
Somewhere else in the Abyss Realm, three mages lay sprawled on the ground with various wounds on their bodies. They watched as someone else stood on a pillar not far from them, in a meditative position, practicing his Mana Circulation technique."You bastard, kill us if you dare," one of the mages mustered the strength to say, attempting to stand up. However, the mage on the pillar snapped his fingers, causing the earth beneath to transform into sharp fangs, biting into his legs and forcing him back down." Ahhh!" the Mage howled out in pains The mage on the pillar turned out to be Alec's senior and Terran's senior disciple, who managed to stay alive amidst the chaos. He was adorned in a complete set of (Peak) Tier 5 beast armor, paired with a matching gauntlet.It was evident that he possessed a full Spirit Armor set, even with weapons included. Igor had assigned the three mages to take care of him, intending for them to eliminate him discreetly. However, the current situation
The appearance of the Minotaur was a surprising twist for all the mages present. Normally, the city had been regularly sieged by Orcs, so the sudden appearance of a different race caught everyone off guard.The War God Mage Academy had received coordinates indicating an increase in energy from the space gate. Initially, they had assumed it was one of the generals from the Orc villages being deployed. So When the opposing faction of mad dog requested the deployment of Terran a key disciple of Mad Dog , renowned for his expertise in killing orcs, there was no hesitation in approving it.Terran never backed down from a challenge, especially when it came to fighting orcs. In fact, he had dispatched so many of them that he was wanted by numerous Orc villages, much to the Academy's awareness.However, there seemed to be a slight management mix-up, as the race that emerged was one with similar battle power to the orcs. Yet, the Minotaurs were feared for a different reason. They belonge
