“Finally! I’ve waited so long for this!” the system spirit exclaimed, rubbing its bubbling hands before Alec, which he found both cute and amusing. If the spirit knew what Alec was thinking, it would probably wish for the ground to open up and swallow it whole. Throughout their time together, Alec had realized that the system spirit wanted to be feared; or seen as a respected safe, there was no way it would ever want to be seen as a cute entity.“So, what’s left on my list? I’ve been grinding for materials needed to create a new armor set. If you remember, it’s this same grinding that’s keeping me from going to the region where the Golden Horn Drakes reside,”“Just because of the grudges that Tier 6 Drake has against me, there are a lot of strong demonic beasts there, and they’re solitary Demonic beasts” Alec complained, turning to the system spirit.“Hmph! So what if you can’t go to that part of the forest right now? It’s just a little lizard Drake. If you weren’t still in the Tier
In a lavishly decorated room, the City Lord of Estonia sat in his chair, accompanied by three Mage formerly known as the three City Guardians of Estonia, they stood silently, awaiting his words. Among them was his own child, now poised for promotion to City Commander, having ascended to the rank of a High Rank Mage. The resources the City Lord had secured from giving the patriarch of the Fridall clan to the Ancient Blaze Clan instead of the Royal Palace had not only helped promote the realm of the mages in the newly forged alliances against the Gordons clan but also elevated his son to the high ranks.Despite his efforts to support the other two City Guardians, only one had reached the high rank realm and was also due for promotion to City Commander. This mage, named Marcus, was often referred to as Sir Marcus and had consistently followed Alistair, the City Lord's son. Fortunately for both, they had attained high rank status, the third guardian, Rio, a stout man who wielded great
Alec shuffled through the forest, determined to reach the source of the noise, he had sent his golems out to scout the area, and they returned with a list of demonic beasts nearby. After careful consideration, he decided to hunt five Peak Tier 5 demonic beasts.So far, his strategy of letting his golems take the lead had proven effective; as they had successfully hunted three of those beasts without any issues. The only challenge now lay with the final two, a duo that worked well together, a Golden Armored Rhino and a Jungle King Boar. Alec carefully navigated the forest, wanting to observe how the battle would unfold. He had spread out some of his golems to either scout ahead or secure the perimeter to make sure no other beast breached in, and he is confident they would meet up with him shortly, as he had sent them all a mental transmission to return.The golems currently facing the two Peak Tier 5 beasts were Titan, Legion, Hunter, and Tempest Butcher. With a boost of speed, Al
The hook flew at incredible speed, cracking open a small hole in the dome shield the Rhino had erected without any resistance.Clang! The hook lodged itself on the Rhino’s front horn, and upon this impact, Hunter jerked his hand down, letting the rest of the chains connected to his hooked hand drop to the ground.Once he had completed this action, he started to run sideways, putting Legion back in front view of the Rhino. Though the Rhino was angry and aimed to pursue him, but it redirected its target to Legion, who was still advancing toward it.From his elevated position, Alec observed the Rhino causing a stampede as it charged closer. Just as it was about to slam Legion into the air, the hook that had hooked his horn finally tugged. Causing Alec to turn his gaze toward Hunter, only to realize he had maneuvered around one of the trees around, causing the chain to wrap around the tree’s body for pulling support. With this strategic move, Hunter gained confidence as he pulled
Almost instantly, as Legion eliminated the Rhino demonic beast, Alec heard the system notification and assumed it must have been triggered by Legion’s action. However, he soon felt a cold chill creeping over him, which caused him to look down at the tree he was perched on; and he noticed that the ground beneath it was lightly covered in frost.“No way, this can’t still be about Legion,” Alec muttered as he turned his gaze toward the second battlefield, which they had all overlooked while watching Legion. While doing this, Alec pulled up his system notifications to check what had prompted the alert.[> Titan’s Ice Manipulation has finally completed its evolution.] [> Ice Manipulation has now changed to Ice Manipulation I.] [> The first stage of Ice Manipulation ability will soon be awakened.] [> Pay 250,000 system points for the first stage awakening (Y/N)?] Seeing this option left Alec quite perplexed, but he didn’t hesitate to select “Y” for yes. He was perplexed because wa
The system spirit materialized before Alec, appearing with its golem body as it has forced its way out from Alec’s space pouch. Ignoring the questioning look on Alec’s face, it focused intently on the icy blue light shooting into the skies.“What the hell? Why are you allowing a golem to undergo a breakthrough inside the Beast Forest?” the system spirit demanded.“How was I supposed to know my golem would level up so soon?” Alec shot back, spreading his hands wide in frustration.“You’re in big trouble,” the system spirit replied, dramatically slapping its golem head with a hand, making Alec scrunch up his face at the gesture.“Can you just explain what the real problem is?” Alec shouted at the system spirit, who trembled at Alec’s outburst.“Let me make it simple for you, normally, if Titan were having a regular breakthrough, it wouldn’t cause much of a reaction. You’d just see a flash of light, and that would be it, no big flashy display and no magical energy would be sent out wid
This time, Butcher was in charge of leading the melee golems. As the first wave of demonic beasts charged at him, he began to spin his lightning axe at a rapid speed, sending those rushing toward him sprawling backward.Thanks to the force generated by his whirling axe, he created a type of lightning repulsion, leaving most of the demonic beasts who were knocked back numb and paralyzed for a few seconds. Meanwhile, all it did for Butcher was push him back a few steps, with a little strain on his shoulder joints. “How the hell did Titan always manage to hold off the waves of beasts without being pushed back? It’s hard to fill his shoes; we really need his expertise in situations like this,” Butcher grumbled after clashing with multiple Tier 4 demonic beasts.He reflected on every time he fought alongside Titan as he led the charge, recalling that it took an exceptional beast of the same realm or a miracle to force Titan to move back. But as he sank deeper into his thoughts, Alec o
One of the peak Tier 5 ice elemental beasts that had appeared was an Arctic bear, roaring from a distance as it came with its minions. With its thunderous roar, the Arctic bears beneath it began dashing forward, compelling Alec to finally make a move since most of his golems were still occupied. [> Mid Tier Spell – Sand Tsunami <] After a few hand signs, Alec cast the spell, sweeping his right hand forward to summon a massive wave of sand toward the charging white-furred bears, which seemed intent on breaking through the defensive line established by his golems. There were five of the bears, all at the Tier 5 realm, three at mid-level and the other two at low-level.As Alec sent forth a raging sand tsunami at its minions, the peak Tier 5 arctic bear at the back snorted, wearing a smug expression that infuriated Alec. He watched as the ice bear inhaled deeply before exhaling a frigid breath toward the swirling sands that were crushing the demonic beasts in their path.Upon clashin
