Alec didn’t want to waste any more time and quickly explained the two available upgrade options for the stone golem to Agnes. Though the paths had different costs, but Alec didn’t feel the need to burden her with those petty details as he could afford it and now they could enter the beast forest she could work back that amount for him with the same golems. He simply believed she had the right to choose the path her golem would follow.And Agnes chose for Alec to pick different paths for both golems, making him nod in approval, as that was exactly what he had in mind. Because if it were him, he would want to have both the Stone Guard Golem and the Stone Gunner Golem too, because he believed that leaning too far in one direction would ruin any chance of creating synergy between offense and defense he wanted her to have.From the names alone, Alec guessed that the Gunner Golem would focus on attack, while the Guard Golem would prioritize defense. He figured that if Agnes were forced
After Alec finished drawing the runes on the first stone golem, its body began to shine golden light, though not as brightly as when he used the system to automatically evolve his golems. But still, it indicated that the real evolution process was commencing, as it started to glow and levitate. Observing this development, Alec quickly moved to the second golem; as he didn’t want to waste any more time. Delaying at such a crucial moment could be fatal and lead to the destruction of both golems, so he hurriedly added the finishing touches to the second stone golem, causing it to levitate into the air also and emit a similar radiant light like the first. Once the rune engraving was complete, Alec felt a bit fatigued and opened his status tab to check his remaining mana.“Shit!” Alec cursed as he saw what little mana remained after the time-consuming engravings. He had tried his best to ensure that Agnes would receive nothing short of perfection in the breakthrough of her golems.
In the end, Alec successfully helped Agnes evolve all five of her golems, before collapsing onto his back with a loud thud that echoed around them.Agnes squealed and rushed toward the new forms of the three golems Alec had just worked on. As usual, before starting the evolution, Alec had explained the paths available for her to choose from, just as he had done when he worked on the stone golems’ evolution. Alec believed that as the master, she should have a say in what path her golems would evolve into.And she decided that two of them would follow the mud golem path, while the last would become an ice golem.Alec was surprised by her choice of the mud golem over the tank/ attacking/control-type ice golem. However, upon further reflection, he began to see a connection, as he recalled that in the past, when he wanted his golems to focus on a specific path, he created something to steer them in that direction. For example, crafting earth spears for his early batch of golems had
“Move out!” Selene’s voice rang out, calling the team to attention, beside her stood the Dean and two other instructors, all dressed in fine attire.The team began to assemble one by one, and Selene nodded in approval as she noticed that those who were coming out had made significant progress. Her eyes quickly skimmed over Lucas and Beatrice; Lucas appeared to be on the verge of reaching the mid Tier 5 Mage realm, exuding a type of pressure that Beatrice lacked, despite the both of them being in the low Tier 5 Mage Realm, which showed just how close he was to the Mid realm. However, Selene knew that despite Lucas being in a higher realm than Beatrice, her battle power still surpassed his. It was akin to how Alec, despite once being at one of the lowest realms in the team, he had still managed to hold the number one spot, because battle power consists of a lot of things and not just realm.This was the main reason Selene wasn't too concerned about Beatrice’s slower progress; as she
People from all corners of the kingdom had purchased tickets to the third round, and these tickets happened to be coordinate talismans. This meant that anyone wishing to attend the third round of the competition in person needed either to own a teleportation device, like the Dean of the War God Academy, or to locate one of the local teleportation businesses around the capital. These were the only means of access to the venue, which was situated within the Royal palace.However, the coordinate talismans given as tickets differed significantly from those issued to the teams. Because each ticket was designed for one individual only; not only did the colours vary, but the talismans also vanished after the user passed through the teleportation device, unlike those provided to the Academy teams. Each ticket talisman was also linked to a specific seat in the Royal Arena Colosseum.After the Dean passed through the golden swirling portal, the rest of the team followed behind him, with S
After the crowd finally settled from the king’s appearance, it was now time for the third round to begin. In the middle of the battle ring, a small circular hole opened up as the red-haired referee, who had provided insights at the start of the academy competition rose from this small opening.The spectators, curious about the spectacle, finally saw an earthen pillar beneath his feet slowly rising him to the air, creating an ethereal entrance to the stage.“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Royal Arena! Are you ready for the first match of the third round?” the referee exclaimed, instantly igniting enthusiasm in the audience. As a deafening roar of “Yes!” erupted, causing the Royal Arena to vibrate from the intensity of the cheering.“It’s clear that you’re all quite excited, so I won’t waste any more of your precious time, the third round will begin in just a few minutes,” he added.“But before that, join me in welcoming one of the participants’ teams, the dark, the eerie, the m
The War God Academy team began to emerge from the newly opened tunnel door, as they were greeted by a raucous crowd. Leading the Team’s charge were Selene and, surprisingly, Beatrice, both waving enthusiastically at the audience.They were all dressed in sleek black uniforms with red trim, the War God Academy team looked undeniably cool and bad ass, the only down side to all of this was the fact that their uniform was of low quality. Yet it was clear their entire fan base was eagerly anticipating one individual. And when he finally appeared as the last member of the War God Mage team, the cheers intensified, with his name—“Alec!!!”—echoing throughout the Grand Arena Colosseum.Alec walked forward slowly, waving as he and his teammates approached the center of the battlefield, just a few meters from the dividing line, that divided both teams. “Bow!” commanded the red-haired referee, causing the Both teams to bow toward each other, extending their hands cupped forward in a gesture
The War God Academy team had finally finished announcing their full names and realms. In the VIP section, the other Deans exchanged surprised glances with the Dean of War God Academy.They all assumed he must have sacrificed a considerable amount of wealth to boost his team’s strength. The War God Academy Dean could only offer a nervous smile outwardly in return , while inwardly, his mind was in turmoil, he knew that he didn’t possess such wealth neither did he have any idea how his students had advanced so quickly.Although he had seen them just minutes before, but he had been so thrilled to attend a prestigious ceremony inside the Royal Palace that he forgot to question their rapid progress. Now that he thought about it, the leap in their battle realms was extraordinary. Even if he doubted they would win, he was proud to see that the War God Academy team hadn’t given up. Their morale and confidence were still remarkably high, and his gaze couldn’t help stopping at Alec, the s
