Bloodline skills differed significantly from skill tomes or spell tomes, spells could be obtained with enough wealth or connections, as long as one had the means or the right contacts, however, certain spells held intrinsic value that couldn’t be measured monetarily and could only be exchanged for something in equal value or it is gifted.
In contrast, bloodline skills were inherited, each Bloodline Mage awakened a range of spells related to their lineage, the extent of which depended on the purity of their bloodline. They didn’t need to undergo the conventional process of learning these spells; instead, the spells were etched directly into the bones or brains of the Bloodline carriers. This is precisely what had occurred with Alec, through the devouring of numerous shadow wolf souls, the shadow wolf tattoo had ascended to the Tier 4 realm. As a result, Alec finally obtained his first Devourer bloodline spell, permanently etched i[> Shadow Wolf’s ongoing evolution from an Omega to an Alpha.][> Merge cancelled as Shadow Wolf enters a deep sleep.]Alec watched in awe as the Alpha Shadow Wolf’s body was consumed by the earth, while his Werewolf transformation reverted back in an instant, when he reverted back to his human form, the wolf tattoo on its skin appeared to be enveloped in a slumber, encircled by a soft glow. Alec could scarcely believe he had finally eliminated a Alpha Shadow Wolf, whose power was on par with a low Tier 6 Mage.In that moment, he truly understood why the system spirit had claimed the Devourer Bloodline was unlike any other power he had encountered, as he had managed to harness the shadow element without even an affinity for it and utilize the skills his wolf spirit had developed.Alec was eager to discover which new abilities would emerge once the shadow wolf spirit evolution was complete, however, the greatest boon of the day was the pros
“Any updates on their progress?” Alec inquired, addressing Lucas, who was still sprawled on the ground, and then Lucas slowly rose, responding, “Well, they have all shown significant advancements, but it’s undeniable that Pale has awakened the most troublesome ability, he has developed some sort of dark ice. And if it latches onto you, it absorbs the mana you’re using at that moment to expands itself within you. ““ Not only that, but it’s also incredibly heavy, just imagine having a couple of them weighing you down.” Lucas said as Alec, was finding it hard to believe that Pale had awakened such a fraudulent ability,, “Do the effects of the ice overlay on each other?” Alec asked as Lucas gave a nod in affirmation.Suddenly, Pale propped himself up, exclaiming, “Hey, why are you exposing my ability like that? Now I won’t be able to catch him off guard when I challenge him!” Pale said but Lucas simply chuckled in response.“Shut
# Three Days Later“The eight teams that have qualified for the Top 8 competition are as follows: Battle Mage Academy, Bloodline Academy, Holy Grail Academy, Onyx Academy, Wizards & Witches Academy, Gate Academy, Vajra Academy, and lastly, our own War God Academy,”“The winner of the loser’s bracket is Royal Mage Academy, last year, they secured the eighth position in the competition and faced considerable scepticism from other institutions, as many believed they only achieved that rank because they are situated in the capital and receive direct sponsorship from the royal family clearing the path for them,” announced Selene to the entire War God Academy team, who were gathered on the training grounds, listening intently.For the past three days, Alec had ensured that the team remained in the training room, leaving only for their meals, baths, or when the ones assigned to observe the day’s matches had to go out only to come back to report back to him.
“Are you ready to cheer on your favourite academy as they battle in the final bout of the first round?, this match will determine who will stay on and join the other seven elite teams, qualifying as one of the top eight great academies!” The referee bellowed, eliciting thunderous cheers from the crowd. As they had been eagerly awaiting this match for as long as they could remember, with the showdown between the War God Academy and the Royal Mage Academy being the main event of the First round they were all eager to witness.“Are you not curious to see if the Royal Mage Academy will truly defeat the War God Academy and secure their eighth consecutive entry into the great eight rankings?” the referee questioned, building up the anticipation even more, as the spectators could hardly contain their excitement, “ or are you anxiously waiting to see if the War God Academy would overthrow the established order and take the Royal Mage Academy’s position am
In a secluded mansion within Estonia City, a group of ten Tier 7 mages had gathered to discuss a single objective: eliminating the Gordons clan, all of them had masks, with some being strangers to each other, brought together by a mysterious entity who had helped them breakthrough to the high tier realm.One of the Tier 7 mages present began to express doubts about the plan to attack the Gordons clan. “Are we really going through with this?, The Gordons clan is known as the strongest clan in the city, shouldn’t we be wary?” he voiced his concern, starting to question his decision to participate in the assault.Another mage quickly interjected, dismissing the doubt. “What are you talking about?, The Gordons clan is just a Mid Tier clan, similar to all of our clans here, there’s no reason to fear them, they simply have more high-ranked mages than each clan, but with all of us combined they are no match.”“Let’s not forget how they dealt wit
The crowd of spectators eagerly watched as the much-anticipated match finally began, when Alec sent his team out, the three main attackers from the Royal Mage Academy also entered the forest.To the surprise of everyone watching, The Masked One and Kylian Zero, who typically attacked together, went their separate ways. This unexpected change in strategy caught the attention of the crowd, as they were accustomed to seeing the duo work in unison.Meanwhile, Asher held back for about a minute before following after them, the fans of the Royal Mage Academy felt a sense of suspense, hoping that the entire team would engage with the War God Academy, as they were worried about the numbers of fighters the War God Academy had on their side.Inside the spherical cover of the Colosseum, Alec placed two of his right fingers on his head, attempting to establish a mental connection with his Golems and see through their eyes. However, after two minutes
Agnes couldn’t contain her shock as she watched Lucas swing one of his dual blades at Alec’s neck. “What the hell does he think he’s doing, attacking Alec like that?” she exclaimed, half-expecting someone to answer her, but Arthur merely snorted, observing the scene with interest.“What’s Lucas up to? Don’t tell me he’s been mind-controlled, but even then, he should know that it’ll take more than that to catch Alec off guard,” Brandon mused, scrutinizing the battle to decipher the unfolding events.Indeed, just as Brandon speculated, Alec feigned a backward retreat, however, as Lucas changed direction to follow, Alec did something unexpected.The crowd’s eyes were glued to the scene as Alec shifted his stance and launched his right leg forward, moving so swiftly it appeared as a blur. A burning black flame seemed to cling to his boot.Bang!!! Three thunderous impacts echoed as Alec’s boot struck Lucas’s lowered knee, waist, and
Alec had dispatched his golems alongside his teammates as backup in case they encountered any members of the Royal Mage Academy, however, that wasn’t his primary motive for sending them out. Alec was able to communicate freely with all his golems as long as they weren’t too far from him. So when he sensed something off about the individual claiming to be Lucas, he knew it wasn’t the Lucas because he had been in mental contact with Legion. And Legion had sent a message to him mentally confirming that he was still with the real Lucas, and that was the moment Alec realized something was amiss, yet, even when questioned, he didn’t reveal how he found out, he only twisted his other findings and explained, that way keeping his secret safe. Explaining how he had discerned that Luis was an imposter would expose another of his abilities—the fact that he could communicate with his golems. Alec didn’t consider himself an almighty figure; he recognized that there were various unique powe
