The Golem Mage Danger (5).
*** 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
The Golem Mage Limits (4).
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
The Golem Mage Evil Sects Makes An Appearance (1).
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 Golem Mage Evil sect (2).
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

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
