Gordons Talent To The Rescue.

Alec became so engrossed in the fight that he found himself edging closer to the front line, disregarding the protective barrier his golems had established.

His countenance transformed into that of a battle-crazed warrior, although every strike he made was calculated and precise.

As his spear skills grew more fluid with each use, Alec realized that relying on the system to upload the skills into his mind wasn't enough to become truly skilled—it required practice and experience.

"Ah, kill!"

Alec shouted, charging towards the zombies with his spear instead of waiting for them to come within piercing range.

Swinging, slashing, and even using the bottom of the spear to push back the encroaching undead, creating enough space to strike them down.

Even Titan joined the massacre, as Agnes rallied the younger members of the clan to participate in the fight.

"We can't let Alec claim all the glory!, Let's all kill a few zombies!"

Agnes said, aiming to bolster the morale of the younger generation, She wanted them to lend their support to defend the wall, and support the defenders who were wearing down due to the unrelenting battle.

Agnes, belonging to the same generation as Alec, was determined not to be left behind and witness his triumph from a distance.

She planned to rally the younger generation to achieve noteworthy feats, such as killing zombies, just like Alec.

Yet, as reality set in, they discovered that the zombies, although slower, possessed greater strength than regular humans.

Even a tier one mage would meet their demise when faced with multiple unclassified zombies, not to mention battling a Tier 1 zombie.

The younger warriors of the Gordon clan were shocked to find themselves being pushed back by even the ordinary zombies breaching their defense line, Some of them succumbed to fear with mere shrieks from the undead.

The sight of the zombies' terrifying facial expressions struck fear into their hearts, causing them to avert their gaze during combat, leading to more mistakes.

However, before the zombies could harm any of them, a well-aimed arrow always found its way into the undead's head, courtesy of the archers who had begun assisting the younger generation in the fight.

This strategy yielded better results, utilizing the younger fighters as bait to lure the zombies into vulnerability.

While many of the younger generation struggled to hold their own against the zombies, there were a few exceptions like Arthur, Knight, Agnes, and a certain short boy wielding a great sword molded from earth elements.

Despite his diminutive stature, the boy fought fiercely and recklessly, never bothering with defense, only attacking.

It was peculiar to witness someone so small using a weapon as tall as himself.

Alec turned his attention to the crowd of younger fighters who had reinforced another position, a smirk forming on his face as they eventually joined in on the fun.

He pondered why they had been allowed to witness the fight, and it wasn't until he noticed the clan members protecting them starting to exhaust their stamina that he realized these defenders were not the elite of the Gordon family.

Most of them were (High) Tier 1 mages, with no one reaching the (peak) Tier 1 realm, There were even a handful of (Mid) Tier 1 mages among those defending the wall.

Alec had a feeling this was a test to see if they would offer assistance or merely observe, Judging from his grandfather's nonchalant attitude, it seemed they were being used as bait to draw out the Tier 5 zombie, allowing them to experience war with zombies firsthand.

After all, they might not find themselves in such a relatively peaceful battlefield again, where the majority of enemies consisted of Tier 1 and unclassified zombies.

It was common knowledge that when the blood moon subsided, the higher-ranking invaders would return swiftly, and if the Tier 1 zombies lost their overseers from higher ranks, they would revert to mindless flesh-eaters.

As a result, the clans and City Guard always made sure to eliminate any remaining zombies after the blood moon had waned.

But this attack was different, as a Tier 5 zombie still remained in command, Therefore, their focus shifted to retreating once the blood moon concluded.

The Tier 5 zombie had hidden away to recover from it's wounds, and now it had returned for revenge.

It was still lurking, blending in with the surroundings, patiently waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

"Is that guy even human?, We've been supporting each other, but we can't seem to keep up with his hunting speed, It's as if he's the bane of those zombies,"

Arthur remarked, catching his breath after decapitating a zombie with a slash.

"I thought you said you didn't have any weapons," Alec questioned Arthur.

"I'm using my mana to materialize this weapon, It's a Tier spell of the metal element, I learnt It recently but it consumes mana to sustain it, which is why I hesitated to use it," Arthur explained.

"Ohhh,"

Alec exclaimed in surprise, He had never bothered to read about any metal spells, so he was taken aback when he discovered that Arthur's shining blade was actually a manifestation of a metal element spell.

"I guess I still have a lot to learn then, So what do you think, is the Tier 5 zombie going to attack or retreat? We've nearly wiped out most of the zombies here," Alec asked, looking at Arthur, who was still struggling with a zombie.

"You know, you're the only one who can act so carefree in a battlefield like this,"

Arthur said as he finally finished slaying the zombie he was dueling with, his eyes sweeping over Alec's secured position as the number one guard Titan made sure all the leftover were wiped off.

"The situation here is almost under control, Even if we did nothing, the remaining zombies won't be able to cause much havoc," Agnes interjected, having stopped the fighting herself.

"It's good that we're all here together, supporting each other, After all, we may all grow up to be the pillars of the family while supporting Alec," Knight chimed in.

The slightly shorter guy from the Gordon's clan, wielding his earth greatsword, nodded in agreement, not saying a word.

"Urgent message! Urgent message! The North Wall has been breached, The city lord has requested the elite members of the Gordons clan to move over and support the Lanzt family," a city guard hurriedly reported, directly addressing the patriarch.

"Hmm, why hasn't that old man resolved the problem himself?" the Gordon family patriarch asked, his brow furrowing in confusion.

"Well, from what I've heard, the zombie leading the horde has been promoted to Tier 6 Brain Commander, This has caused most of his zombies to upgrade to tier 2," replied one of the family members.

"Currently, only the Gordons Clan has their wall under control, We are even surprised by how quickly you guys have been killing the zombies, considering the large number of unclassified zombies in your area," said the city guard.

"Send a message to the City Lord, I will take care of the zombie commander, In return, he will owe me a favor," Alec's grandfather stated confidently.

"I shall relay your message to the City Lord," the city guard said respectfully, bowing before him.

"Alec, Brandon, Arthur, Agnes, and Knight, I want you to go to the North Wall immediately and assist the Lanzt family squad in killing the unclassified and tier 1 zombies., Alec, can I trust you to lead them?"

the patriarch asked Alec, making it clear that he was appointing him as the leader of the group.

"But, Patriarch, we can still fight, I don't think there's a need to send the boys to handle this, Me and my squad can quickly sort things out,"

one of the Gordon family members who had fought alongside Alec spoke up. They understood the pressure Alec's golem had been facing and wanted to assist in any way possible.

"You still want to fight? Don't make me laugh," the patriarch snorted dismissively.

"I will take care of it, but what about the tier 2 zombies and higher?" Alec questioned.

"Good question, Well, don't worry, Just as I am sending you now, I already have people waiting to take care of the higher-ranked zombies under the Brain Commander, They won't disturb or interfere with your fights, You are free to go all out," explained the patriarch.

"So, use this chance to increase your strength or gain better battle experience," he continued.

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint," Alec replied with determination in his voice.

    "Kerrrae...rkkkk!" the (Peak) Tier 1 zombie shrieked, its eyes shining red with rage as it dashed towards Legion."The fuck!!!" Alec exclaimed as the zombie charged towards Legion. It was at that moment that Alec realized he had been foolishly underestimating the danger of a (peak) Tier 1 zombie attack. He had thought he could easily handle it, but now he saw just how wrong he was. He couldn't even keep up with the lightning-fast movements of this (peak) Tier 1 speed demon zombie, if he was the one facing the zombie he might have been diced up countless times Legion, on the other hand, remained unfazed. With its circular shield in front and a spear by its side, he patiently waited for the zombie to collide against its defenses. But things didn't go as planned. The zombie quickly changed its movement mid-run and attacked from the side instead, abaddoning the frontal charge it had initiated.

Though the Zombie attempted to block some of the strikes, it couldn't defend against them all, leading to bloody spots appearing on its body, as all of Legions strike had landed.During each attack, Legion used his left arm to push the shield closer, causing the Zombie's own attacks to rebound and forcing it to take several steps back.Before the Zombie could recover, Legion swiftly slashed towards its head, with the spear tip horizontally."It seems Legion has incorporated Titan's mace techniques into his fighting style again, This gol

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

    “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

    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

    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
