[Inspect] Name: - Golem Type: Iron Body Golem, Silver Stage Tier: 4 (Peak) Rank: Rare Affinity: Metal, Earth, Light (Unawakened)Examining the golem’s new status felt like he was receiving an unexpected gift, Alec had never anticipated that not only would the flaw in the golem’s evolution be corrected, but it would also be pushed to the peak of Tier 4, just a few steps away from entering the Tier 5 rank.And when it did it would be levelled at the same realm as its master, which would make their combined battle power reach new heights. Alec was aware of the effort he had put in; he had taken each step himself following the step by step guide, rather than relying on the system to work its magic in a split second like it use to do for every upgrade Alec golems go through. He understood that he had merely helped recreate the golem’s body, connect and heal the damaged energy passage in its body, all the energy that Arthur had been sharing with it had been locked a
Brandon leaned against a nearby corner of the training room that was assigned to their team, eager to watch all the action unfold.“Don’t waste any more time, merge!” Alec urged Arthur, who was waiting in the middle with him. Seeing the urgency in Alec’s expression, Arthur wasted no time casting the merge spell, his silver body golem shattered into countless pieces before merging seamlessly with his body.Alec observed, absentmindedly caressing his jaw, no matter how many times he witnessed the merge spell, it always reminded him of Iron Man transformation, one of his favourite movies from his past world. However, his train of thought was abruptly interrupted when Arthur’s transformation was complete.As a massive surge of mana pressure radiated outward in all directions, with Arthur at the center. It felt almost as if he were controlling the wind with his aura alone. Brandon’s lip twitched as he watched from the side, previously, before Alec helped Arthur correct his golem’s e
Bang! A sonic explosion erupted as Vladimir kept Morgana occupied in the air, ensuring she would be unable to assist her teammates, who were being picked off easily by his own team members.The Battle Mage Academy was not named that way for nothing; when it came to group battles, they were arguably the best among all the great academies. The only way to effectively deal with them was to have very strong individuals restraining them, and with the Onyx academy captain being absent from the battlefield with his large reserve of undead, made a significant difference. It quickly turned into a dog-eat-dog scenario, and such chaotic scenes were where the Battle Mage Academy thrived the most.In the VIP section, the elders of high and ancient clans, along with a few deans of the academies who had the privilege of sitting there, all appeared bored as they watched the fight unfold. “Seriously, this is all boring, given the current setup, we should already know who’s going to win the match,
Arthur slid across the ground, dragging his sword into the earth to cushion the force propelling him backward.As he raised his head, his vision was filled with Legion's spear piercing through the air, hurtling directly toward him. Legion grows more serious about the fight, the more minutes he spent surviving, and Arthur found himself being pushed around the training hall with little chance to recover.Though they were in the same cultivation realm, but there was no denying that Legion’s superior experience and countless battles gave him a decisive edge in the spar. Arthur could only dream of matching that level of mastery.Bang!Arthur raised his sword just in time, using its broad blade to deflect Legion’s strike to the side, the sheer force behind the spear sent tremors through his arm as he deflected it, and he felt a searing laser slash past his ear, missing by mere inches. Gritting his teeth, he steeled himself and launched a low left hook, as his fist glowed with metal eleme
Before Alec and Brandon stood a very tall-looking golem. Yes, Alec had helped in creating a golem for Brandon, but no matter how many times he looked at it, he still felt like he was staring at a Treant Guardian that was supposed to live in the forest. He struggled to accept why it was called a golem at all considering its nature. But when he turned to look at Brandon, however, he saw the beaming smile on his lips and knew at that moment he wasn’t going to ruin this happy moment for him with his assumption of why such creation should not be called a golem. Alec had laid out the two choices he felt were suitable for him after consulting the system, and Brandon had chosen the mutated wood golem. Yet, Brandon had remained puzzled about how Alec was supposed to work his magic and help him create a wood golem, especially since neither of them possessed a Plant element affinity.Even Arthur had asked how the Fourth Elder had created such a golem with a Plant element, but that questio
The king of the Northern Kingdom sat on his throne, propping his chin up with his left hand. As a group of eccentric-looking mage elders entered the throne room, where he was deep in discussion with his right and left generals."This better be good!" the king retorted, eyeing the elders who had come to visit him, as he waved his hands to his general signalling for the to leave the room. "Your Majesty, I have come to report on the task you assigned to us," one of the elders said."Yes, what is the progress?" the king asked, impatience evident in his voice."There have been no disturbances in space since that day, and we did everything we could to pinpoint the location of the tear with the lingering aura," the elder continued, his tone somber. "However, we have failed in this endeavour, it seems that the aura from the tear has completely dissipated as the space has recovered, leaving us unable to complete the task you entrusted to us." The elder bowed his head as low as possible, hop
“Elder, the Star Peaking Array has lit up again! There’s another tear in space!” a young mage announced, clad in a distinct robe that marked his rank just like most mages in the room. The room buzzed with urgency as other mages hurried to the elder who had just returned from meeting the king of the Northern Kingdom.Hearing the report, the elder immediately shifted through space, appearing in the center of the array in the blink of an eye. Closing his eyes, he began moving his hands in intricate patterns, conjuring glowing runes that floated from his fingers and seamlessly merged with the ones already orbiting in the air.The display of skill left the observing mages in awe, as they witnessed a level of rune mastery far beyond their comprehension.“Focus on maintaining your sections of the rune, each of you plays a vital role in pinpointing this spatial fracture,” the elder commanded, his voice firm as his robes rippled with the immense mana being channelled into the array. “If w
“Bloodline!”“War God!”The chants of both academies’ names echoed across the stadium, their intensity reaching a fever pitch. It was finally time for the most anticipated event, the showdown between the Bloodline Academy and the War God Mage Academy. Since the confirmation of this match up, excitement had been building to unprecedented levels as the fans could hardly wait to experience the finals.The grand royal stadium was packed to capacity, yet the crowd outside was just as massive. Surrounding the royal palace on all four sides at the east gate, West gate, south gate, and north gate were enormous crystal screens erected for viewing, each broadcasting the scene from the Grand Royal Arena. The screens displayed a panoramic view of the massive stage and occasionally highlighted notable figures seated in the VIP sections.Although the match had yet to begin, but the atmosphere was electric, the event was scheduled to take place in the evening, just a few hours before the Bloo
# Estonia CityThe forces that had gathered to defend Estonia city were struggling against the zombies, though the city guards were accustomed to dealing with zombie threats, but due to the lack of competence from the supporting clans had turned the situation into a massacre. With each fallen or infected mage, the tide shifted further against them, as those who had fallen rose to fight against their former allies, a true nightmare for the defenders of Estonia City.Having lost more than half their forces in the low rank battlefield merely two hours into the battle, the fate of Estonia City was looking increasingly grim. In the Tier 7 battle, twenty unique type Tier 7 zombies faced off against twenty human mages, while the patriarch of the Darkbliss clan stood back, refusing to join the fray. The reason for his inaction was the peak Tier 7 Agility Type zombie, which closely monitored him, as if warning him not to interfere, if not it would also retaliate against him if he dared. Of
The attacks from both Dragov and Alec finally clashed, illuminating the battle stage with their distinct lights. Alec’s side glowed with a fierce bloodlust, accompanied by his blazing black and red flames that seemed to merge together, while Dragov’s side radiated an azure light that blended with the vibrant green of his mutated wind element, creating a storm of chaos in the air.Energy levels surged as the friction between them sparked bursts of electricity, the protective light shield around the arena trembled violently, prompting several High Tier rank mages on standby to appear from various angles and channel their mana to contain the destructive shockwave generated by their combined energy inside the light shield.Bang! After about thirty seconds of struggle, both combatants were sent sprawling backwards by the explosion of their attacks. Alec twisted mid-air, soaring off the light shield before repositioning himself to land in the center of the stadium.The resounding impact of
After dissolving the second Katana blade, Alec didn’t stop there; instead, he conjured a one handed battle axe in his left hand, almost immediately, a system notification appeared. [> Equipped with an Axe-type weapon; Second Seal effects activated] [Axe Mastery: Intermediate Level 1] -Strength increased by 30%As soon as the axe materialized, Alec felt a slight surge in his strength, coupled with the weapon damage bonus he received from wielding blade-type weapons, he felt invincible. And that confidence surged even further as he sensed Dragov encroaching on the mana zone he had established around himself.“Die!” Dragov roared, swinging his great sword down toward Alec, but to Dragov’s surprise, Alec did not step back or retreat as he normally would; instead, he stepped forward to clash against him, rotating the axe in front of him.Alec expertly hooked the large sword with the axe’s hinge, temporarily neutralizing the weapon and drawing Dragov closer before thrusting his blade
“Give up and surrender; there’s no way you could ever defeat me,” Dragov declared, finally recovering from the shock of Alec possessing a specialized spirit equipment set made just for him. He wasn’t overly concerned about that; he was confident in his victory over Alec. His self assurance stemmed from the fact that his dragon scales provided protection on par with Tier 5 spirit equipment, and it was specifically tailored to his bloodline, in that regard, Alec was merely matching him by donning his Infernal Mantle Set. Furthermore, Dragov was emanating a Mid Tier 6 aura, while Alec was still a low Tier 5 mage. Despite this, Alec didn’t feel like he was battling someone of that caliber. Dragov was a genius, exceeding all expectations, capable of fighting above his rank, even though he projected a Mid Tier 6 aura, his battle prowess was dangerously close to that of a Tier 7 mage. Though he lacked the mental abilities tied to creating a domain that normal Tier 7 have but was
Alec stood watching as Dragov’s body increased in height once more, but this time, it wasn’t just his stature that was changing; his aura had surged all the way to the Mid Tier 6 realm. But Dragov wasn’t finished yet, a massive pair of dragon wings extended from his back, and his two front dragon horns grew slightly longer with them curving backward a little.“Now we shall continue from where we left off,” Dragov said, locking his gaze onto Alec.“Why does everyone from the Bloodline Academy talk so much? Let’s just fight it out!” Alec replied, dashing forward. Beside him, Titan moved in front, manifesting a long rectangular shield on his arm to take the lead against the now-taller Dragov.“Come!” Dragov shouted as he drew his fist back, channelling Qi energy into it, a dragon fist image materialized around his hand, enveloping it as he punched toward Titan. Titan raised his shield to defend against the attack.The moment Dragov’s punch landed on the shield, the entire crowd fell
Dragov pushed himself off the debris he had created upon being slammed into the ground. He raised his gaze to Alec and Titan, who stood side by side, with Titan resting his hand on his massive mace that was resting on the stage ground, while Alec swung his Changdao as he walked.Feeling a liquid substance covering his face, Dragov used his right palm to wipe it away, only to realize it was his blood, this brought him a slight shock. The Azure dragon scales he so proudly wore had been pierced, and blood was seeping from the wound. He could hardly believe there was another mage capable of matching him in his second-stage transformation while still being a Tier 5 Mage.Though Alec had the assistance of his golem, Titan, who is a Tier 6 golem, but Dragov considered Titan merely an extension of Alec’s powers. But Dragov was not the type to be easily intimidated by a challenge, especially one that had pushed him so far that he was bleeding.Alec stared at Dragov in surprise as he sa
With his increased power, Dragov wasted no time and dashed toward Alec, this sudden move snapped Alec out of his relaxed demeanour, forcing him to act swiftly. Alec pulled his right hand from his pocket and quickly cast three layers of earth shields, each reinforced with a repulsive gravity effect, stacking them in front of himself as a defensive barrier. However, Dragov was unfazed by this move, and after closing the distance in an instant, he swung his massive, weighted sword at the shields. The moment the blade struck, cracks spiderwebbed across the first earth shield. In a split second, Dragov shattered the first shield and then the second and by the time his sword collided with the third shield, Alec had already reversed the gravity repulsion spell, redirecting its force outward to himself when he saw the effort to bounce Dragov back as ineffective. When Dragov’s sword hit the final shield, the combined gravitational force sent Alec hurtling backward. He quickly dug h
“You’d better not even think about sending someone else up here to face me, because I’ll tear anyone you send into shreds. Unless you’re planning on having one of your precious teammates suffer an injury that could impact their cultivation journey, I suggest you step onto this stage right now,” Dragov said, locking eyes with Alec.He was trying to play the emotional game, trying to force Alec on stage since he knew how much Alec cared for his team mates, something Dragov saw as a sign of weakness. “Seriously, is that what you have to resort to just to get me on stage? We could simply forfeit this match and give you the win without sending anyone up. It would still count as your victory, which means you’d have wasted your chance,” Alec replied with a small smile, shaking his head in disbelief at how Dragov could appear so composed and innocent while harbouring such a twisted mind-set.As soon as Dragov heard Alec’s words, his expression changed instantly. He turned to the referee, h
As the dust finally settled, the crowd could clearly see the aftermath of the intense battle at the center of the stage. On one side stood Soren, his chest and hands soaked in blood, part of the red scales protecting him had been blasted apart, leaving him visibly weakened as blood continued to drip from his injuries. On the other side was Brandon, who had his greatsword stabbed into the ground to steady him, his upper body was completely bare, revealing his chiselled physique, a testament to years of rigorous weapon training and cultivation. His torn uniform lay in shreds, and blood streaked his torso. Behind Brandon was the Treant Golem that had been summoned, its wooden fingers were imbued with healing energy as they pressed into Brandon’s back. Though the healing process was slow, but the crowd could already see some of his wounds beginning to improve slightly. Soren, clinging desperately to hope, watched with mounting frustration as Brandon showed signs of recovery.
