The Golem Mage Old Troubles.
# At the War God Mage AcademyIn her office at the War God Mage Academy, Selene sat reading a report given to her by one of the students under her, and the mage who had suggested that Selene ordered Alec and his team back approached her to provide an update.“As you commanded, we had an agent student tail them without their knowledge, and it has been confirmed through message birds sent to me that they will soon reach the academy,” the mage informed Selene of the latest development.Upon hearing that Alec and his team would soon arrive, Selene smiled, though it held a hint of bitterness, as reading the report in her hand had raised some concerns.“I understand that I may not be in a position to say this, but how do you plan to send the team to the capital city before the competition begins?” the mage asked, expressing his doubts.“Collins, you have worked with me the longest, so by now, you should realize that I have plans in place for everything, don’t worry, I owe the Dean for this
The Golem Mage Old Troubles (2).
“No fighting is allowed in this area!” a voice broke through the escalating tension between Orion and Alec, Orion looked up to see a black-armoured Mage guard walking toward them.The guard possessed a Tier 5 cultivation realm, but Orion wasn’t concerned; as he believed he could handle the guard, however, before he could respond, to the guard Alec beat him to it.“Oh, we’re not fighting, just old acquaintances saying hello after a few months away!” Alec turned to face the guard and said. The guard stared narrowly at Alec before nodding and walking away.“Tell me, is that another one of Selene’s dogs, ready to do anything for you now?” Orion seethed in anger.Alec simply gave him a hard stare before shaking his head. “I know what you want, you’re trying to provoke me into fighting with you, but the thing is, you no longer interest me, in fact, if we were to fight, I promise you would lose pitifully. So, I’m giving you face, but if you still want to lose your reputation that badly,
The Golem Mage Life & Death (1).
The moment Orion made his move, every mage in the arena held their breath, anticipating the first strike, even Instructor Walter, who was acting as the referee, had disappeared from the middle of the arena, giving them ample space to fight to their hearts' content.As Orion's fist drew closer, particles of water element manifested in the air, coiling around his hand in a rotating fashion, forming a water drill that covered his fist, and the closer Orion approached, the faster and larger the water drill grew, Alec's expression remained unchanged as he forcefully slammed his palms together.From both sides, Orion noticed two rapidly moving boulders hurtling towards him, likely uprooted from the ground of the arena. Orion couldn't grasp how Alec had managed to create such a phenomenon, but he knew that if he didn't act, he would be crushed between the massive boulders. In response, he erected water barriers on both his left and right sides, still confident t

Boom! The deafening sonic explosion reverberated through the arena as Alec propelled himself forward, flames erupting beneath his feet before Orion could fully comprehend what was happening. Alec appeared before him, acting swiftly, Orion raised his hand, conjuring a water barrier that instantly cracked upon contact with the black flames emitted by Alec’s Bone Katana, realizing the unfavourable turn of events, Orion quickly changed his hand sign at the last moment. Just as the Bone Katana was about to pierce through his water barrier completely, it became encased in ice. Reacting to this sudden turn, Orion swiftly landed back on the ground, completely altering his tactics. As hundreds of ice shards floated close to him as he prepared his next move. “This bastard!” Alec cursed, retracting his Changdao and the still-embedded iced Bone Katana into his space ring. His hands now encased in earth fists, and a transparent light cloaked his hands—a move inspired by the leader of the se

“Where is our master?, Even Orion’s master is here, if things were to go awry, I fear there would be no one to aid Alec,” Brandon expressed his worry.“It appears they are evenly matched,” Agnes remarked, attempting to make sense of the battle amidst the bursts of elemental light, however, Beatrice shook her head as Agnes finished her sentence.“Alec is undoubtedly going to emerge victorious!” Beatrice confidently declared, folding her hands, this statement piqued Endrick’s curiosity.“How can you be so certain?” he questioned.“Well, for one, Orion is on the verge of depleting his mana reserves, and once he runs out, he will be defenceless against Alec’s relentless onslaught, in fact, I predict that within the next five minutes, Orion will succumb to defeat,” Beatrice stated, shocking most of the team members. They were puzzled as to why a Tier 5 Mage like Orion would run out of mana before Alec, who was only a Tier 4 Mage.
The Golem Mage Wild.
The well-wishers of Alec in the crowd tightly clenched their fists as they watched him , covered in ice, fighting for his life. They could hardly believe that the mage they had associated with invincibility in their minds had reached such a perilous state, although they initially thought Orion was stronger, having two years of experience ahead of Alec, but now they considered Alec to be superior. As they believed that Alec’s strength outweighed Orion’s, even if he were to die in this battle, they just couldn’t accept the dirty move he had played in the end.Just as they feared that Alec’s heartbeat was approaching a critical point, they began to hear another sound—a steady thumping in the air.Badump! Badump!At first, they thought they were hallucinating, but the sound of a heartbeat persisted, growing more intense. As they focused on the ice coffin encasing Alec, they realized that it was melting. With one side of the
The Golem Mage Second Visit
In a secluded area of the War God Mage Academy, Igor stood behind the figure who was shrouded by a small blue cloud fog, concealing his identity. Igor had always been the one to receive orders from the appointed leader of the Faction, yet he remained oblivious to the leader’s true identity.“Santos will be punished for his actions at the arena, ensure that his punishment serves as a stark reminder of his wrongdoing,” the disguised man spoke, prompting surprise in Igor.“I thought you would be outraged by the New Dean’s punishment of making Santos compensate and having him go into self reflect, but it seems you are actually planning on punishing him as well, however, Santos only acted to defend his disciple, as no one would want to witness their disciple to die,” Igor attempted to defend Santos’ actions, understanding that Santos had acted to save Orion.“Are you questioning my orders, Igor? You should remember that the Faction was created with
The Golem Mage Goodies.
“Before you all go room hunting, i still have something for you,” Alec mentioned, determined not to forget to give them the cultivation pills again. They were set to enter the competition the following day, and Alec knew it might be too late to distribute the pills then. He wanted them to use the pills now, while they had the chance to cultivate throughout the night, hoping for favourable results.Although Alec knew the pills were valid, but it was still the first time he would give someone the pills produced by the Primordial Tree, he could only hope they worked as the system described.“Now that I think about it, you did promise us goodies, We only forgot because we were eager to get to the Academy quickly, so, what is it?” Sophia asked, her small fist balled in front of her as her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement.The entire team gathered around Alec, eagerly awaiting what he had to offer, even Selene, who was about to leave the inn to register the War God Mage Academ

Auction 5.
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
Auction 2.
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
