The Golem Mage Infernal Mantle.
“Bring them out!” Alec commanded, and as he spoke, the void began to crack open, as one of the branches of the primordial tree, which he had left free for such occasions, emerged from the fissured space behind his back. It dragged along with it the body of five dead demonic beasts through the rift and widening the opening as they were transported from the amulet world, which seemed to have fused with the space around Alec. Since the amulet world was a separate dimension linked to him, it was understandable that its space could be connected to any environment nearby him as long as he reached out.Three of the demonic beasts were Golden Horned Drakes, while the remaining two clearly were demonic beasts that wield the elements of fire and earth, respectively when they were alive. Alec was trying to craft a new spirit equipment set that would not only enhance his stats but also elevate his elemental affinities to the next level. However, despite the presence of five Tier 5 Peak beas

The forging process lasted for over five hours before it finally concluded, while this might seem like a long time, it hadn’t felt that way for Alec; he felt incredibly fortunate to have the system at his disposal. In comparison, it would take other forgers days to create even a single piece of Tier 5 equipment, it was clear that the system provided a significant advantage, making it much easier for Alec to acquire his equipment set before the final match. If he had waited for a forger in the real world to craft it for him instead, it would likely take weeks, and by then, the finals would have long since concluded.Alec continued to stare at his new equipment, which was levitating before him as if lifted by an invisible force, he found himself in a daze until the system reminded him that he was wasting time. [> Ding!] [Drop a drop of blood on the equipment set to link with it.]Seeing this message made Alec feel embarrassed; he knew he needed to link with the spirit equipment
The Golem Mage Iron Body.
After a few minutes of admiring his reflection in the water mirror, Alec finally recalled the Infernal Mantle Set, and it disappeared magically back into his body. He already understood most of the abilities of his new gear from the first time he equipped them; even he couldn’t explain how. It was as if the applications and activations of these abilities were ingrained directly into his mind, making him feel like they have been a part of him for a long time. No matter how he tried to use the special abilities of the gear, he could activate them effortlessly.He conducted a few experiments with the new knowledge that was being inputted into his mind, and he quickly figured out what the saved Mana represented. It was like a power bank where he could store his Mana, allowing him to continue fighting in battle even if he ran out of mana as long as he had the Veil of Ashes, it would recharge him with the exact amount of Mana he had saved.With a limit of fifty thousand Mana, Alec also

[Evolution Path Found] × Silver Body Golem Stage 2 Iron Body Type (Cost: 250,000 system points and 25,000 mana) That was the only option that appeared for Arthur’s golem, and while Alec wasn’t surprised, given that it was an iron body type, he had just hoped the system would offer another variation for the golem’s evolution or another branch that was a little bit different from what the Gordons normally followed. Alec had acquired some knowledge about the iron body golem from the information transferred to him by the system from his ancestors’ texts. It was said that the iron body golem had a singular evolutionary route for each rank. At the low ranks, it existed as a bronze body golem which is the Stage 1; at the mid rank, it evolves to the silver body stage, which is the Stage 2. At the high ranks, it finally reaches the golden body stage, which is the Stage 3, though it was a known rumour that the third Elder of the Gordon clan, a gifted genius, had discovered a method

With all noise eliminated, Alec was finally able to concentrate fully on the multitude of tasks he had at hand. Those outside the sphere could still see what he was doing, and when they noticed the cauldron opening and Alec exerting his gravity manipulation to force the golem inside, shock rippled through the crowd.Boom! Alec ignited his Mana with his flame element, forming hell flames beneath the cauldron. Unlike typical red flames that would extinguish without support, the hell flames could endure and burn until the Mana infused within them dissipated. Variant flames were especially special; because without them, forgers could never create great spirit equipment, nor could alchemists craft super pills, it all came down to the variant flames. Since the hell flames were established first as a foundation, when the red flames were summoned by Alec and directed beneath the levitating cauldron, they melded with the hell flames, amplifying the flame power. At this point, sweat drip

“Tell me, people of the Northern Kingdom, are you ready?” the red-haired referee shouted, his voice ringing out as the audience chanted “Yes!” in response.It was finally the day after the battle between Bloodline Academy and Battle mage Academy, and now it was time to determine who would secure third place and who would settle for fourth in the inter academy competition. The match was set between Onyx Academy and Battle mage Academy who had both lost in the third round, though many fans had come to support Onyx academy, but they all understood that it would take a miracle for their team to win.First and foremost, their captain was still in poor condition and wouldn’t be able to participate, while their vice-captain was capable, but they all knew that she couldn’t bear the entire team’s burden alone, unlike the Battle mage team. Despite their captain being injured as well it didn’t affect them much, as the Battle mage team remained stronger overall and could defeat Onyx Academy eve
The Golem Mage Iron Body 5.
[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

Auction 2.
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
Auction 1.
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
Changes 2.
Alec scrolled all the way to the top of his notifications, finally spotting the first issue he knew he needed to deal with.He quickly realized that just like his earth element, his fire element had also advanced to the second stage of Manipulation, meaning he was now to possess two variant flame abilities, and it wasn’t just that it had advanced; there were already two distinct powers present, which left him slightly confused.He could easily understand where the Magma Control had come from, considering it was like a natural progression of his red flames, and honestly, Alec would be lying if he said he didn’t like it, he knew Magma was an extremely destructive flame type, one many considered beyond the limits of ordinary fire powers. As far as he was concerned, it was a seriously cool ability to have, and he was already hoping he’d get the hang of it sooner rather than later.But what unsettled him a little, though, was the second variant that came with his fire element: something

Big Three Appearance.
About three middle-aged men in black attire shuffled through the carefully planted vegetation near Alec’s house, but the moment they stepped into the courtyard, they froze, seated calmly on the deck of Alec’s home was the Fifth Elder of the Gordons clan, patiently waiting for them.“Ohhh, one, two… ahh, some big numbers,” the Fifth Elder mused lazily, as his gaze sharp as it fell on them. “Now tell me, what are three unknown Tier 7 mages doing in the young master’s courtyard at this hour?”“It’s just a fat elder of the Gordons,” the mage in front sneered, noting the flicker of unease in his companions’ eyes. “He’s not on the list of elders we need to be cautious of, let’s take him out quietly.”None of them had expected to run into anyone here after infiltrating the Gordons estate, but since they had, retreat wasn’t an option, they’d already been paid to eliminate Alec, and abandoning the mission now wasn’t something any of them was willing to risk.To the mage in the middle, kil
