“Arrrgh! What do you mean he didn’t even get to fight?, Why didn’t he fight?” The Gordon’s patriarch threw a tantrum, behaving very childishly in that moment. “Old man, it wasn’t my fault. It was just that the genius of the other families and clans weren’t even able to force him out, All it took was Brandon to wiped the smirks off the arrogant faces of the younger generation leaders of the other families and clans” Draco said with pride as his eyes started shining with stars, when he mentioned Brandon . “Incompetent runts,” the patriarch cursed. “I would like to bring that Brandon boy under my tutelage, I’m sure he would grow to become a pillar for the Clan,” Draco said. “Hahaha, you want to steal someone from Alec?, Well, go ahead. But you should know he and that Arthur boy train with Alec and are always together, like the three musketeers, so be ready to get the full package” the patriarch said. “Erm, I don’t really know, but I just guessed their relationship was quite close, th
“ What are you doing here?” Arthur shouted the moment he saw Agnes enter Alec’s backyard, where they normally practice. He was caught off guard, as he was still in the middle of spar with Brandon, as he question Agnes, she was left in shock as she witness the last blow he delivered to Brandon. Having seen Brandon fight before, she assumed he would be stronger than Arthur since only Brandon had went on stage that day. And the fact that Arthur was known for his unserious attitude helped resolved her thoughts , but now she witnessed him clash head to head with someone she had believed she could not defeat. This shattered her current understanding of them. “Errm, errm,” She stammered, unsure of where to start after everything that had happened at the Banquet. She had come to the realization that Alec was a monster and she wanted to learn from him to become strong. “We are here to apologize and inform you of some serious news, Where is Alec?” Knight quietly emerged from the shadows,
“Enough chit-chatting, now tell me exactly what brought you to my house because there is no way I would believe you only came here to give me that piece of information, and want nothing else In return,” Alec said, his playful expression disappearing, finally showing a rare serious expression considering he was almost never serious except when he was making a new golem. “Errm, our Elder’s said it would be better if we all formed teams, now that we are about to participate in the blood moon, It is necessary since we need to be in sync with each other,” Knight quickly explained for her before she could reply to Alec. “Ohhh, the First elder, right?” Alec asked. “Yes,” Knight nodded his head happily when he saw that Alec was following what he was talking about. “Well, you want to ride on our wings and be safe, and you dare come here and use the First elder to make me bend?, What a joke! If you want to beg me to carry you along, then do it properly,” Alec said as the mood in the atmosph
It was finally the day of the blood moon, and every family member was extremely nervous. No one was ready for it, as every blood moon was accompanied by lots of deaths and casualties, The mothers didn’t know if their sons would come back, and the wives were unaware if their husbands could make it back from this war against the Second Dimensional races. In a courtyard, five teenagers were preparing for battle, wearing their armor and other equipment. While Knight and Agnes seemed nervous, Alec, Arthur, and Brandon appeared unconcerned, as if they weren’t about to enter a life-and-death battle in a few hours. Their nonchalant attitude only made Knight and Agnes even more nervous, doubting if they had chosen the right team. However, when they thought about the powers displayed during their training and sparring sessions in the past few days, Agnes became convinced that she made the right decision and didn’t want to regret it. “Hey, I like this new sword, Thanks, Agnes. There was no
Alec was highly intrigued by what could happen to the armor once he utilized his system points to fix its flaws. Despite the difficulty in acquiring 500 system points, he didn’t consider it a waste to invest them in improving the armor. As he believed that using the system points on the armor would provide him with a deeper understanding of its uses and potentially even benefit him in the long run. With determination, he clenched his teeth and pressed the Y button, which he had been contemplating in his mind. [+ equipment tempering Crystal lvl 3] Alec’s hands were suddenly engulfed in a small, bright light, when he looked down, he realized he was holding a peculiar crystal that resembled the beast crystal positioned in the center of his armour’s chest plate. Almost instinctively, his hands moved toward that spot, as if he knew that was the intended action. Carefully, he placed the tempering crystal on the armour’s crystal, hoping it would yield results. To his surprise, as his
“More reasons why you have to be more serious about this!” Agnes argued back."Like I said, you don't have to worry, Number one, I shall be leading the vanguard of our attacks like usual, against whichever creature we have to face this time," Alec said as he began laying down his plans for the attack."Brandon will stay in the middle with Knight, Brandon's job is to kill any creature we miss or those that attack from the sides, while Knight's job will be to protect Agnes, our magician, with his shadow element.""Or to eliminate any threat he feels he can handle in time before they become a danger, So, Knight is our only assassin for this round, while Brandon will be our sub attacker.""Agnes and Arthur will lead the remaining Tier 1 warriors of the Gordon family behind us, Arthur, I know you're happy that you now have armor and feel that you don't have to defend with your magic like you used to since you want to be a full attacking force.""But I have a selfish request to ask again, Pl
“ You should all be aware that in every battle, we must strive to minimize our casualties, The more deaths from our realm, the more fuel it provides for the enemy’s space gate to increase in grade,” the Grand elder explained, his tone grave. “ If, for example, they were able to kill a hundred Tier 6 mages from our realm without suffering significant losses on their side, it would give them an opportunity to upgrade their gate to a higher Tier,” the Grand Elder continued. “And that’s precisely what everyone is trying to avoid, Our city cannot withstand an attack from a High Tier gate, as we would be completely wiped out.” “ Some families would even considered relocating to another city if such happens, Just imagine the chaos that would happen if a few Tier 7 creatures emerged, It would be a disaster, especially since our city only has three publicly known Tier 7 mages,” the Grand Elder added, his voice filled with concern. The curse placed upon the attack ensured that those above th
“ If he accepts, then he won’t have any problems with us, He can rest assured that we will take very good care of his Clan kids, as long as it’s a Low tier lifeforms that does not endanger my squad mates’ lives,” Alec replied with a wide smirk. The Grand Elder observed with a twitch in his mouth, realizing he was being used as a means of communication between the two men. “You don’t have to worry, Mr. Gordons, because if a Mid Tier creature tries to attack my family, I would take care of it for them,” the Lanzt patriarch reassured. The Grand elder looked at him in surprise before asking, “Are you also fighting in this blood moon?” “Yes, I feel like I am about to reach the Tier 6 mage realm, With a little push and a little bloody battle, I know I can reach the realm,” the Lanzt patriarch said smugly, unable to hide his smirk. “Your dad would be proud to know that you are about to make that progress,” the Grand elder nodded approvingly. “Thank you, Grand elder, for your wise compl
