Alec had yet to confront the Ghouls, but he had already killed 40 to 50 of them by throwing boulders. Just as he was about to unleash his third salvo, he noticed the two Tier 4 Ghouls rushing towards him with increased ferocity in their eyes, determined to stop him from killing any more of the remaining Ghouls without any chance of retaliation. So alec attempted to stand on top of his horse, waiting for the Ghouls to lunge at him, then, he leaped off the horse towards them, weapons drawn.Knowing that he would be at a disadvantage fighting on horseback against two Tier 4 Ghouls, Alec decided to confront them on the ground where he was more comfortable. With a clang, the sound of his weapons blocking the Ghouls’ clawed attacks echoed as Alec landed on the ground and the Ghouls fell beside him.Even though Alec had a student army approaching, the Tier 4 Ghouls ignored them, just as he had predicted. He understood that the top Tier undead were focused on going after those the Lich de
“I can finally see what you see in him, this boy can switch from his gentle nature to his killer instincts mode in seconds, it’s as if there are two different souls residing in that one body of his!”“I don’t know what he must have gone through to achieve such a state, but I have no doubts about him being a killer anymore, the way he kills is almost like an art; he never simply slaughters an enemy, he tends to kill them in the most gruesome or skilful way, describing the art of killing a beauty with the way he sheds blood, he is what you would call a maniac,” Edward said as he continued to watch at that moment.Selene didn’t bother to tell her master that she had foreseen this, because even though Alec had taken down two more Tier 4 opponents, it didn’t change the fact that they were still at a significant disadvantage against the undead army. Currently, they were able to suppress the ghouls and the evolved skeleton army due to the army’s high morale. However, she knew that they coul
The two streaks of light that followed behind the Third Elder were Draco and the Fifth Elder, whose name was Axel. The patriarch had ordered them to provide backup to him, as he was unwilling to let the recently healed Third elder enter a Blood Moon battle alone.As the third elder crossed the city gates and stepped onto the battlefield, he was taken aback by the scene before him. The human mages were losing terribly; and it seemed as if they were merely playing a game of survival, desperately hoping for the Blood Moon to wane so they could find respite. There was no real offensive push— only the city guard’s mages were actively countering the goblin onslaught.Observing the struggle of the low rank mages, he realized that even if they managed to survive the Blood Moon with their current tactics, their future was bleak. As if they continued to suffer heavy casualties in each encounter with the goblins, there would come a point when they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves due to
Alec waited patiently for the ice encasing the Bone knight to crack, eager to see if the knight could still reincarnate or reconnect with its summons that have been imprisoned by him.The moment the ice finally shattered, the Bone knight reached out towards Alec’s neck in an attempt to strangle him. But with a flick of his wrist, he moved his Changdao that is still enveloped in a flaming aura, as he cleaved the hand clean off. He then thrust his hand into the Bone knight’s chest, gripping and shattering the core within.As the body of the Bone knight collapsed to the ground in pieces, Alec watched intently, half-expecting some sign of reanimation, but nothing happened. He then replicated the hand sign he had used to seal the black hole, summoning one of the skeletons back through it.As if by magic, the Bone knight he had just slain transformed into the skeleton that had passed through the black hole, while the one that had just emerged began to change. Its bones expanded, it grew
The possessed Mage raised his hands, conjuring a Black stone fist around his hand to block the scythe from plunging into him, as he swung his legs towards Oni's crouched area, but he was met with no reaction. In fact, Oni's masked expression had changed to one of shock."Are you expecting me to react to that?, Because I assure you, I am just a creation of magic and I am no human!" Oni said, trying to jest with the wraith.But the wraith only smiled and placed one of its hands on Oni's chest, summoning a huge crystallised stone hand that rose from the ground and punched him straight in the face. Oni was flung away, while the wraith got up and spread both hands as black earth spears rose into the air on its command."I think I like this body, even though he is nothing but a Tier 2 Mage, I am able to combine both my dark element with his earth element, now tell me, do you want to taste the feeling of having your body pierced by black rocks?" the wraith said through the mouth of the pos
Sword saint wasted no time hesitating as he rushed at the Tier 3 mutated zombie, even though the Red Onis supporting him were all Tier 2 golem as him. He knew that they didn’t possess the same powers as him and none of them would stand a chance against the mutant Tier 3 zombie. Therefore, he decided to take care of it first while they dealt with the lesser flies, also known as the “Tier 2 zombies”, the red Onis dashed in with their spiky clubs in hand, despite the Tier 2 zombies not being as slow as the Tier 1 zombies. However, their speed didn’t offer much assistance against the formidable Onis, as They were skilled combatants, with one of them sidestepping the zombie attacking him and swiftly striking its knee with his club. The impact broke the zombie’s leg, causing it to lose balance and the Oni seized the opportunity to smash its head with his spiky club, bursting the zombie’s brain and drenching himself in its blood. The Oni found pleasure in violence just like there maste
# At the Northern Kingdom’s CapitalWhile the subordinate cities of the Northern Kingdom face one or two space gates, depending on whether a nearby city was destroyed, the capital itself was always besieged by five space gates. Four of these are High-tier gates, positioned at the cardinal points of the kingdom—north, south, east, and west. These gates are defended by ancient clans that rule over these territories, as well as other high-tier clans that have been granted the privilege to reside within the Royal Capital.However, the fifth gate, a Peak-tier gate, looms ominously above the center of the palace, presenting a constant concern for the Royal Family. The mere thought of a space gate hovering overhead is a frightening prospect, as it signifies the potential for an attack at any moment. Although the abyssal races occupying the space gate above the Royal Palace have not launched an assault for an extended period, the Royal Family remains vigilant. With each Blood Moon War,
King Charles was displeased that his words were being questioned, but he recognized the need to provide an explanation, especially since the inquiry had come from the patriarch of the Dragonmir clan.The patriarch of the Dragonmir clan was widely acknowledged as the most powerful mage in the Northern Kingdom. Although there were rumours of the Royal clan possessing mages of even greater strength than him, but the patriarch of the Dragonmir clan was still given respect, as his power was undeniable.“Well, if you are truly interested, I am willing to provide a detailed explanation, the seal does not prevent entities from passing the gate; rather, it restricts those who emerge from the Peak space gate as high-rank mages would become be dropped to the peak of the Tier 6 realm,” King Charles elucidated.“Similarly, those who emerge as mid-rank mages are confined to the peak of the Tier 3 realm, this restriction applies to monarchs as well, regardless of their realm or power,” he continue
