The Golem Mage Intent
The cover that surrounded the arena of the Colosseum finally retracted back, allowing the crowd to see the teams that have just participated in one of their best battles since the competition began The two teams stared at each other intently, however, Alec found himself bearing the brunt of both admiration and criticism as his name was chanted, while he received abundant praise, it came with a fair share of animosity since he was responsible for eliminating the favourite team of the capital residents. Now, all eyes were on the War God Academy team, not as failures trying to rewrite history that had once taken place, but as fan favourites due to the intensity and captivating nature of their battles.Most students from ordinary academies redirected their cheers towards the War God Academy team. Having seen their own academies bow out early, they rallied behind the dark horse that defied expectations and persisted in the competition, it felt as
The Golem Mage More Troubles.
The five victorious members couldn’t wipe the grins off their faces as they strolled down the passage hall. Waiting for them at the end were the other six members of the team, pumping their fists in excitement, everyone was elated by their victory and advancement to the next stage. However, Selene stood off to the side, hands on her hips, a stern expression on her face.“What’s got you in a sour mood? Did you lose a bet?” Alec asked as he joined the rest of the team, leaving the celebratory hugs and shouts behind.To get a briefing on the situation and ensure everything was alright, he was relieved when she initially shook her head no, but then, to his dismay, she shook her head yes.“ Bet aside, what has me bothered now Is still not serious but it’s making me concern because a future conflict might arise from it,” Selene spoke up, capturing the attention of the team, who had temporarily suspended their jubilation.“So, what’s
The Golem Mage Round Two Format.
“The draw for the second round and the battle format is out!” Selene announced as she burst into a luxurious living room that is attached to different rooms.All members of the War God Academy team looked up from whatever they were doing and eagerly approached Selene, keen to find out who they would be facing next.When they checked the realm levels of the remaining academy team members, it gave them quite a fright. However, after thinking about it for a moment, they realized that every team they had defeated so far had been strong, not weak or equal to them in strength. And the feeling of emerging victorious against such formidable teams was exhilarating, surpassing even the excitement of hearing the crowd’s cheers.“Are we the first match this time?” Lucas asked.“No, we’re not,” Selene replied.“That’s better, opening the competition was quite awkward, thankfully, we’re not first this time,” Arthur said with relie
The Golem Mage Troubles Finally Arriving.
Nightfall had finally arrived, inducing a sense of nervous anticipation within every member of the War God Academy team as the second round of the inter-academy competition approached. In their respective rooms, most of the team focused diligently on cultivating since Alec kept providing them cultivation pills, Selene had been curious about the source of these pills and had considered asking Alec about it on multiple occasions. However, in order to avoid putting him in an awkward position, she refrained from doing so, initially, the team members were hesitant to continue collecting the pills, fully aware of their significant value. Yet, over time, they grew accustomed to the arrangement, in fact, they shamelessly competed for the pills, as Alec constantly found ways to secure additional sets for them. Having heeded Alec's advice to allow the residual energy from the pills to dissipate, they temporarily stopped consuming them in order to exhaust the
The Golem Mage Questions?.
The two mages who had entered with the recently killed one were staring at his severed head in shock, they didn’t move an inch from where they stood.Despite both being at the peak of the Tier 4 Mage Realm, they recognized that the fallen mage, was a high Tier 5, and had been the strongest among them and was therefore allowed to lead by their master. But his head had been severed with a single swipe, leaving them puzzled and uncertain about whether to advance or retreat—either option seemed fraught with peril. If they retreated, their master would surely punish them; advancing seemed to promise only certain death, especially when they saw the fierce determination in Alec’s eyes.Swoosh!While Alec pondered his next move, two golden rods shot towards the two Tier 5 mages at incredible speed. The first mage managed to raise his blade and deflect the attack, but the second was less fortunate, as the golden rod pierced his neck.<
The Golem Mage Damage.
“Young lady Selene, I am but a humble mercenary unworthy of your attention, my services were hired to kidnap both Alec and Pale without any disturbances, but little did I anticipate the sensitivity and perceptiveness of the little mages under you,” the skeleton masked figure confessed.“The moment our harmless group of mercenaries entered, we were immediately attacked, we had no choice but to defend ourselves,” he continued, causing both Selene and Alec to be taken aback by his smooth and eloquent words. If Alec hadn’t been present during the incident, he might have questioned the truth of what occurred, that’s how convincing the skeleton masked figure portrayed himself.“Humph! Don’t you dare use your disgusting abilities against me! Who do you think you are, calling yourselves mercenaries?, You Dark Guild mages are the ones I despise the most, it seems like your group only assumes the title of ‘mercenaries’ when things aren’t going your way,” Sele
The Golem Mage High Stakes.
The spectators that gathered to witness the second round of the inter-academy competition far exceeded the attendance of the first round. And this was despite the increased ticket fees, this clear indication showcased their excitement and eagerness to experience the intensity of the second round.A significant contributing factor to this overall enthusiasm was the Grand Arena. Its larger space compared to the Colosseum easily surpassed the former venue in popularity.Although it was a new location, the Grand Arena had its own VIP section, specially designed to accommodate esteemed figures from High and Ancient Clans, additionally, several deans from other academies, who had initially decided not to participate, surprised everyone by attending. However, the most unexpected presence of all was the new Dean of the War God Academy, no one had anticipated his appearance, causing a wave of astonishment among those entering the VIP section. G
The Golem Mage Ability Steal.
# Previous Night Later that night, shortly after the masked intruders had fled, Selene left the room to speak with the Royal guards responsible for safeguarding their section of the building. She intended to address the lack of assistance despite the commotion that had taken place at their building.Meanwhile, the rest of the team focused on restoring order to the room, Alec remained seated near Pale, patiently awaiting his awakening. Lost in contemplation, Alec pondered the nature of his connection to the masked individuals who had sought him and Pale. While it seemed that one group aimed to capture them alive, the Zero Clan enforcers appeared determined to eliminate Alec. The attackers had targeted him relentlessly, and Pale had been the only one who had been rendered unconscious and nearly taken away.“Agnes, help me wake up this sleepyhead, I need answers, and I can’t wait any longer,” Alec instructed, address

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
