The Orc leaders were still surprised by the salvo of arrows that had been shot at the Orc soldiers, They hadn’t even had time to prepare a command before the second round landed, killing many Orcs who were still climbing up the walls. Witnessing the deaths of their companions, the remaining Orcs decided to proceed with caution as the Tier 7 Orcs ordered them to raise their shields that was strapped to their backs in defense against any more arrows. However, no more arrows were launched after the second round.Despite the absence of arrows, the Orcs continued to climb cautiously, shielded as best they could. Their climbing speed dropped considerably, but they persisted with their shields up, with the fear that another round would just fall next. What the Orcs failed to realize was that the guards had stopped shooting arrows not because they were reloading, but because the commanding guard had sent a group of guards to collect rocks strewn near the gates.Although the Black armoured
At the academy, the entire council of esteemed Great Instructors had gathered in the meeting hall of the new Dean’s House. As they exchanged uneasy glances, the weight of hurt and anger was palpable among them. All of this stemmed from a revelation that shook them to the core.It had all started when one of the two Tier 8 mages who is responsible for guarding the space passages to the Orc regions approached the new Dean with grave news. That the portal that had functioned flawlessly for years had undergone a drastic change, and the once serene blue light had transformed into a forbidding shade of red, impeding any mage from entering the space passage.This development alone was enough for the academy to realize that the city in the Abyss was under attack. But what infuriated the new Dean even more was the discovery that there were no assigned High Tier mages within the based city in the Abyss. Their absence was undoubtedly the reason why the space passage had been sealed off that
The level of confidence with which Gideon made this promise was as if he was certain that almost all the mages in that space passage would end up dead. Ignatius stared at his smile and snorted, He had harboured a deep hatred for Gideon for a long time. While both of them were peak Tier 8 mages, Ignatius was the only peak tier 8 Mage present in the academy that represented the disciplinary hall. On the other hand, Gideon’s faction had multiple peak tier 8 mages still In the academy, and he held a higher position in the academy as a top great instructor. Because the distribution of resources and ranking of the Great instructors was based on the strength of their respective disciples, which further magnified Ignatius’s animosity towards Gideon.Gideon had managed to recruit an abundance of talented mages with the factions help, including his own son who had also become a Tier 8 Mage due to the help from the faction. This success ensured that Gideon had left Ignatius in the dust a lo
Meanwhile, back at the Abyss, the commanding Guard removed his helmet, revealing his face, as he raised his hand in a swiping gesture just as the Tier 7 orc prepared to strike. His movement caused a gentle breeze to passed through, and to everyone’s surprise, the orc’s attack disappeared before it could be unleashed.“How long do you plan on hiding?, Come out already,” the Guard taunted. “Your setup may be deceiving, but if you want to convince me that you intend to conquer a human city with just one Tier 7 Mage, then you clearly don’t take your ambitions seriously, Orc Commander Grimgore.”The Guard, with his face fully revealed, spoke with confidence, like he truly was sure the person he called was responsible for the attacks on the academy based city. While many struggled to remember who he was, there were a select few who were still hiding close to the gates and recognized him instantly.“Wait, am I hallucinating, or isn’t that the short man we always saw at the counter of the
The Gordon’s clansmen have showed him that a person’s battle powers were not solely determined by their realm, a fact he reluctantly admitted after being with them for just few hours. Even now, in the city, he only felt safe because they were still with the Gordons. Because he knew that The Gordons’ clansmen would have their backs if anything went wrong, especially since the city was going through an attack at the moment.That’s why him and what was left of his group continued to follow the Gordons; as they always seemed to have a plan for any situation. As much as Pale didn’t want to admit it, he couldn’t deny the feeling that he got that him and his group wouldn’t survive for long in the Abyss without the support of the Gordons’ clansmen, they were a little Experienced now but they knew they were still amateurs.“We would be delighted to accompany you until you leave the Abyss,” Pale said, extending his hand for Agnes to shake.But Agnes was taken aback, She never expected Pale,
Alec was flung towards a nearby tree, but he swiftly regained his footing, as blood spewing onto his armor from his mouth. The Chimera let out a tired roar, astounded that Alec persisted with such fervour, despite how many times he had been attacked.Yet Alec found himself strangely exhilarated by the chaos unfolding around him, As he spat blood onto his armor, he noticed strands of brown and black were intertwined along its edges. And it jogged his memory that before the armour’s upgrade, it was a bland tricolour design. Through the system enhancement and flaws removal, the red colour had taken precedence over the crucial sections of the armor.However, the black and brown hues had lingered at the edges. Alec hadn’t paid much attention to this before, Since then, all Alec could see was the crimson blur on the armour.But now he wondered if the armor was in a sealed state, preventing him from accessing its full power until he attained the status of a Tier 3 Mage.And perhaps some
While Alec was struggling to defeat the Chimera, his other Golems were diligently farming experience points for him, in hopes of potentially propelling him to the prestigious Tier 3 Mage Realm in the near future.Contributing significantly to Alec’s experience point gain were Oni and the Hive Queen, who were on the verge of encountering a Orc hunting party. Alec had chosen a location which just so happens to be at the edge of the lower regions facing the Orc territory, Then Oni and Hive Queen had inadvertently transformed this spot into their very own hunting grounds, looking for Orcs, as they now perceived the Orcs as prey rather than the predators they were to the demonic beast.Perched atop a tree, the Hive Queen informed Oni, “There is an Orc team nearby, and we should be encountering them soon.” She had dispatched some of her offspring to act as scouts and relay information to her, allowing her to discern the approaching Orc team.A wicked grin crept across Oni’s mask as he
The Hive Queen lunged forward, one of her bladed legs aimed at the Peak Tier 3 Orc in a desperate attempt to halt his attack. However, it was clear that the speed of her leg blade would not be enough to stop the formidable peak Tier 3 Orc from piercing Oni.Oni’s body appeared to be irreparably damaged, yet he maintained a haunting smile as he stared at the Orc with intensity and all his hands stretched out wide, [> Special Ability – Phantom Reaper’s Embrace. <] Oni’s voice echoed throughout the area, every corner filled with his ominous words, as his six hands transformed into swift-moving black tendrils, closing in on the Orc. The sudden change caught the Orc by surprise, causing him to alter the trajectory of his spear to defend against the tendrils. He managed to repel three of them in his desperate attempt to protect himself.But despite the Orc’s resistance, Oni continued to laugh unabated, as a strange darkness began to unfold beneath, enveloping the surroundings, shroudin
