2024-06-17 21:30:01The 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. <

“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 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

# 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

A bright green glow illuminated a particular room in the building where the Vajra Academy was staying at the Grand Arena buildings. The room layout mirrored that of the War God Academy, albeit on a much grander scale. As the green light receded the group of masked mages from the Dark guild appeared, as they entered, they came face-to-face with the Head Abbot of the Vajra academy, who is engaged in conversation with the monk who served as their team coordinator.“What is the meaning of this? Why have you returned here?” the head Abbot demanded, his expression betraying an uncommon anger.“Oh, my sincerest apologies for intruding, I assure you, it was entirely unintentional, my comrades and I found ourselves in a tight spot and needed a place to hide until the sentry guards passed by,” the figure in the middle, wearing a skeleton mask, responded in a teasing manner.“You insolent fool!

# Back to presentThe Dean of the War God Academy finally shifted his attention away from his battered team, though he could still hear the Head Abbot giggling beside him, but he was determined to maintain his composure, as he refrained from succumbing to rage.“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second round of the inter-academy competition,” announced the red-haired referee that had been chosen to oversee the battle as he ascended into the air, utilizing his control over mana, he projected his voice far and wide, reaching every spectator as if he stood right beside them.With his mastery over the sound element, this task proved relatively effortless.“Are you all ready to witness another blood-curling and intense battle as these two academies compete to determine who would go on to fight for the title of the new supreme academy after one year?” asked the referee, prompting the crowd to erupt into cheers filled with boundless energy. Their collective enthusiasm resonated througho

“And the one who has been chosen to start the battle on behalf of the Bloodline Academy, Connor Lupus!!! “ the red-haired referee shouted Connor’s name, as his voice echoed through the arena, the crowd in response erupted in cheers, their excitement palpable as they eagerly awaited the commencement of the battle.All eyes were on Connor Lupus, as he stood tall with broad shoulders, his rugged, short black hair swaying slightly. His well-defined jawline and the sheer size of his rippling muscles, was barely contained by his customized uniform, added to his imposing presence.As if to heighten the anticipation, Connor suddenly stripped off his uniform, throwing it to a corner , revealing his upper body in the process, and on his back, was a large tattoo of a sleeping wolf etched there .Alec squinted, scrutinizing the tattoo closely, he wondered if it bore any resemblance to his own, however, after a thorough examination, he concluded that they w

While the whole crowd was wild with joy, only the real experts watching the match could tell that it was far from over, as Connor had not been able to land a critical strike on Michael, despite appearances.Suddenly, Michael’s shredded body turned into specks of light and disappeared. As Connor, who seemed to have been expecting this, quickly turned to face his back.Bam!“Come on, show me more! Show me more!” Michael giggled as he jumped around Connor, his sword still sheathed and held in his left hand. He stared at Connor with a wide, uncontainable smile after he had landed a quick jab on Connor’s face .The crowd was taken aback as the fans of Bloodline Academy fell silent, while the Holy Grail Academy supporters erupted in wild cheers. They started to boast about Michael emerging unscathed from the strike, finally finding their voices to retort against the previously taunting Bloodline Academy fans.Agnes,

As Arthur went to place the bet on Michael, he encountered a couple of people who were placing their bets on Connor after witnessing his powerful strike, when they realized Arthur’s choice, they burst into laughter, mocking his decision.--Connor gazed at Michael, still uncertain about how he had managed to evade his attack. He wasn’t scared of him, per se, but he desperately needed to know the spell Michael had cast, this knowledge would enable him to formulate a counter if Michael attempted a similar move again. As he felt if all he did was unleash powerful strikes while Michael evaded everything, then he would be bound to lose.His mind raced with various thoughts, contemplating whether Michael would engage in close-quarter combat after witnessing the destructive capabilities he possessed. However, while Connor was lost in his deliberations, Michael grew bored and swiftly dashed towards him, catching Connor completely off guard

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

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
