Alec was thrown back upon clashing with Dullahan, as he realized he was no match for the Mid Tier 4 undead in terms of strength. Nonetheless, he refused to back down and was determined to hold on until he received help, knowing it would take a while for him to tire out.As the horse charged at him once again, Dullahan swung his axe, Alec knew he couldn’t defend against such a powerful attack, so he opted to dash towards Dullahan instead.With the axe nearing his head, Alec bent down and positioned his Changdao on his shoulders, as the axe descended, it collided with the blade, as Alec utilized the momentum from his run to redirect the force of the attack upwards, In response, he quickly swung his own weapon.A fiery crescent moon slash was unleashed, causing the Dullahan’s horse to lose its two hind legs, the beast tumbled, throwing Dullahan off its back. However, instead of focusing on landing safely, Dullahan prioritized protecting his heads, as he made sure he held it high , cl
"Clear the battlefield!, We have thousands of undead here, Don't let even one of the power stones in them go to waste!" Alec commanded as he collapsed to the ground.As he lay there, looking up at the bright, shining Blood Moon in the sky, Alec raised his hand as if reaching out to grab it.A smile appeared on his face as he reminisced about what had transpired earlier.Having just discovered that the Dullahan was the true leader of the undead army, after he had succeeded in killing it. In that moment, all of the undead in his own army crumbled, except for the Ghouls. It became evident that the zombies and skeletons were mere summons of the Dullahan, while the Tier 4 undead held the real power and had surpassed the realm of being an ordinary summon. The plan had been for the Lich to assume the role of a leader, but with the collapse of the army, the Lich's facade had also crumbled.Without hesitation, the Lich swiftly retreated through the space gate, escaping Alec's grasp before h
Alec awoke to the loud noise emanating from the center of the camping area, his head throbbing from the hangover that was trying to bring him down. The lord of the Sweden city had forced him to drink mead, claiming it was the drink of the gods and that only the chosen ones were privileged to partake in drinking it, Alec knew it was all a ploy to get him to drink with him, but he couldn't bring himself to reject the offer of such a powerful man. Underestimating the potent effects of the mead, Alec had imbibed a cup, only to find himself misbehaving, he was certain he had come close to engaging in inappropriate behavior, despite knowing he was inhabiting a fifteen-year-old body. He thanked the gods that Agnes had intervened to come bring him back since he was taking time there after the general and major returned to the camp ; otherwise, he feared he might have done more than he could recall. Draping himself in his academy clothes, he made his way to the center of the camp to invest
Alec and his new team were en route to their first training objective together, At the moment, fatigue weighed heavily on them all."Why the hell would they ask us to do this?" Pale grumbled from behind, panting heavily. The rest of the team exchanged surprised glances, hardly believing he would complain so vociferously.The initial task outlined in the scroll required them to traverse the Gobi Desert while consciously suppressing their mana, Alec, having practiced with the arcane crown previously, found mana restraint second nature.However, for the other mages, it was an unprecedented challenge, because since awakening their powers, they had never had to suppress their mana, let alone while navigating the harsh terrain of the Gobi Desert.The ordeal was exacting a toll on everyone."Guy, you're holding up better than the rest of us, you're a Tier 4 Mage for God sake, yet you whine more than the grandmothers in my clan," Knight teased, prompting laughter from the others.Alec and Ar
Terran knew that Elder Alfred wouldn’t have come to see him without expecting some benefit, so when the mention of buying wine arose, Terran erupted into laughter.“You do realize we still owe the Tavern a heap of magic crystals right?, are you trying to get us to work off our debts with manual labour?, Because I’m still very much broke, and if I’m broke, you’re even broker than me,” Terran remarked, pushing the stone high with the top of his legs and leaping to grab it, only to have his legs give way upon landing.“Is that any way to speak to your elder? Well, for your information, the list of students drafted into the academy’s team has been updated, and guess what?, Five of your disciples have made the team,” Elder Alfred announced. Terran, was initially shocked hearing such news , before bursting into laughter.“Those kids didn’t let me down, I’ll be able to restock my reserve of wine gourds again!” Terran exclaimed.“And I’ll get a couple too,” Elder Alfred added.“Hush, I won’t
Twenty minutes later, the entire team had regrouped at the location of the game capsule.“What did you find out?” Alec inquired of Agnes, who was the last to arrive, but she shook her head, indicating that, like the rest of the team, she found the city deserted, seemingly leaving them as the only ones present.With no answers to be found in the city, their only option now lay with the game.“I guess we have no choice but to play the game,” Alec concluded as he approached the capsule, noting that even the options on the capsule seemed sophisticated.He placed his hand on the fingerprint scanner, and options appeared before him:Team RacingSolo RacingWithout hesitation, Alec selected ‘Team Racing.’ The system then prompted him to specify the number of members in his team, and he chose eleven.A neon light enveloped him and his teammates, and they vanished into the capsule.–[Welcome to the Race of Death][Pick and create your Monster vehicle, You have only 15 minutes to complete
Even if he was told that he would still see something as civilised as this, there is no way that Alec would believe that he, who had entered a unique cultivation world, would ever have the chance to see, let alone drive, something that functioned like a car.As the countdown commenced, Alec wasted no time. He slammed his foot down on the accelerator pedal, propelling the truck forward with tremendous momentum as he navigated the rocky terrain.“Yes!” his team members cheered, thrilled by the unexpected lead and the sheer excitement of watching Alec drive.Alec was in the lead when he suddenly felt a jolt from behind; another vehicle had rammed into his truck. He noticed his speed dropping, and just ahead was a sharp turn. Gripping the steering wheel, he attempted to drift, but a massive red monster truck emblazoned with flames on its side collided with him, sending him careening off course.As he struggled to regain control, another vehicle took advantage of the situation, drivi
The car in the sixth position was forced to reverse after clearing the ice obstructing their truck’s tires. They had lost momentum, and attempting to drive off the cliff in that state would be nothing short of suicidal, so they have to start building momentum all over again.Meanwhile, Alec’s truck finally landed on the other side of the racetrack. He shifted the gear and accelerated, noticing an indicator map displayed by the panel attached to his right eye, showing that he was close to the fifth position truck, that he was determined to catch up to.To Alec, everything felt like a car race game, not only were the cars equipped with attacking fixtures, but he could also see a map displaying his position and those ahead of him in red lights. He knew he was just a few hundred meters away from reaching the fifth position truck, and he could now see truck behind.As they came into sight of the fifth position, Alec noticed mages at the back holding orbs filled with mana, wearing evi
