Alec had come to realize that the anti-magic effect of the Sword Saint was the only thing that had been able to gain an advantage over the Chronomancer’s time-related spells, as nothing else seemed to work, even his combination of flame and earth element spells, used simultaneously, had proven to be ineffective against the supreme power of the time element.This made him believe the theory that says only another supreme power could contend against it on equal ground, a supreme power like space, Alec pondered attacking with anti-magic imbued on his blade. As a smile spread across his face as the flames on the Blood Changdao transformed into a grey hue, a clear indication that it now had the ability to repel and cut through the Chronomancer’s time spells.As Alec stretched his left hand towards the Chronomancer, attempting to cast an earth element spell, he realized that it was not activating. The Chronomancer laughed out loud before explaining, “I don’t understand how your summoned
The Chronomancer was astonished by the turn of events, as Alec seems to be in an enlightened state as he flawlessly executed combo after combo of attacks. Following the left jab he threw, Alec smoothly followed through with a powerful right cross punch, by utilizing the rotation of his body to unleash maximum power while staying closely to the Bloody Changdao.However, the Chronomancer swiftly mounted a last-minute defense as he raised his hands up, keenly sensing the immense strength behind Alec's rotational attack. This slight resistance pushed him back, prompting the Chronomancer to exert even more force into his hands to break the attack before swinging his sword, yet, Alec skillfully rolled backward, evading the strike, and immediately surged forward once more.During Alec's advancement, the Chronomancer hastily retreated a few steps as Alec seized his Bloody Changdao from the ground and thrust it towards the Chronomancer's torso. Capitalizing on the opening created by the Chr
The very next day, Alec was already partially healed and able to walk, so he headed straight to the game capsule to see if there was anything he could do to fix it. Since they needed to leave the city soon due to their tight schedule, Alec wanted to ensure that there would be no more problems with the game capsule before he departed.As Alec approached the capsule, the system beeped, alerting him to a notification.[> Ding!][¦ Damaged Artifact discovered, pay 10,000 system points to unveil its real form (Y/N)]“Hmmm!” Alec decided to pay the fee, and the capsule began shrinking until it transformed into what appeared to be an amulet, next to the amulet was a scroll adorned with countless beast drawings, and the Chronomancer’s lifeless body lay nearby.Bending down, Alec picked up the amulet and attempted to analyse it using his skill, but to his surprise, the system provided no further information aside from confirming that it was an Artifact. However, Alec yearned to control whate
And so the day wore on, with Alec continuing to struggle with his new Amulet, despite his efforts, the Amulet remained in its dormant state, refusing to react to anything Alec tried in order to make it active, Alec even attempted to coax it by offering food, but all his attempts were in vain.It had already been two days since Alec and his team arrived in the city of time, and although they planned to depart the following day, Alec couldn’t shake his reservations, as he felt uncertain about leaving the city when he wasn’t sure he had resolved all the issues surrounding it.Realizing that he couldn’t control certain aspects at the moment, Alec decided to rest and cease his fruitless attempts with the Amulet, weary from his relentless research on how to activate it, he lay on his bed, yearning for some much-needed sleep.Yet, as he closed his eyes, an uncomfortable sensation overcame him, as it felt as though he was floating, causing Alec to promptly open his eyes, but to his astonishme
The team had diligently prepared for their next mission and were ready to depart the following morning, their belongings were already packed, and anticipation filled the air. However, as they gathered, a sense of unease began to settle upon them, as they realised that their captain was nowhere to be found."Hmm, why is Alec not down yet?, he's the one who suggested we leave this city today so we would be able to meet up with the rest of our missions," Beatrice voiced her concern.Her mind has been preoccupied with thoughts of her own cultivation, despite spending the previous day cultivating , she felt the need for an additional push to propel her into the next stage. The memory of facing a horde of undead creatures accompanied by her loyal puppets came to mind, that was when she had experienced true growth and felt the next stage was slightly opening up, eager to face the challenges that lay ahead, Beatrice hoped that her breakthrough would enable her to assist Alec, should they enc
“Of course, she isn’t from an ancient clan, if we’re talking specifics, she should be just like you, or even worse, after all, when the Ancient Blaze clan rejected you from their bloodline, your father wasn’t present.”“He was said to have dived into a space passage on the verge of being conquered by the Abyss, and since then, he never returned. In simple terms, the Blaze Clan conclude that your biological father had died, he didn’t reject you, but his clan and direct family did.”“But she, on the other hand, her mother sent her back to the clan her father was from, and that man shamelessly rejected her right then, even when he knew she was his blood and had awakened their clan’s special taming ability.”“The funny thing about all of this is that he still mocked his daughter’s low affinity for both powers she possessed, all that she had left was her mother, who had hoped that when her child was accepted, then her daughter would finally get the life she deserves. ““ But her mother’s w
“So, hey, what about you?, what’s your own story?, there’s no way someone who keeps himself busy with discussions like this won’t have a history, i won’t believe you just developed an innate fondness for such conversations,” Alec said to Pale after breaking the hug with Endrick.“Oh, forget about me, I’m not one of those Rejects, I’m actually one of the few who was accepted, and don’t even think about brainwashing me into joining your clan, I’m okay the way I am, I’ll be the first to keep watch for the night,” Pale replied, his words filled with determination. Alec acknowledged his words and walked back to his spot.With him impulsively adding two people to his clan a mere moment ago, it was clear he would have to write to his grandfather soon, if not, he was going to get an earful when he just showed up at the clan house with two new members the were unaware off.[> x : You might not know this now, but when the time comes, you might not regret adding them to your clan, they have uni
Although the Flarefang Saber tiger lunging at him appeared incredibly dangerous, but Alec merely regarded it as another oversized kitten, and now that he knew he could summon his golems, he saw no reason to hold back, as with a wave of his hand, he summoned all his golems.But the golem designated to confront the Tier 3 Flarefang Saber tiger was Titan, as It conjured a shield of ice, halting the tiger’s assault, then tilted the shield to the side, using the momentum to launch an attack with its free hand, an ice mace hurtled straight toward the tiger’s head.[> Mid Tier Spell – Inferno Roar <]However, before the weapon could connect, the Flarefang unleashed a deafening roar that intensified the heat in the area. The roar created a wave of scorching air that repelled Titan, sending him flying as the ice weapon crumbled upon impact.Alec, who had just landed, watched in surprise, he hadn’t expected any demonic beast of the same realm to match Titan in strength, yet he couldn’t help b
