2022-10-25 07:47:18After witnessing the impressive display of strength by Titan, he saw him move swiftly to retrieve his trusted weapon - a spiky mace that seemingly materialized from the very earth itself.
It appeared to be far sturdier than any steel weapons employed by the Gordins family, indicating that Alec had taken great care in imbuing it with an abundance of mana during its creation.This, coupled with the equally formidable shield he had fashioned, made them the ultimate tools for warfare.It was no wonder the mace effortlessly decimated the zombie's head, Pleased with his handiwork, Alec nodded approvingly, his gaze fixed once again on the magnificent weapon.[ wrath spike mace ]Weapon lvl : 5( upgrade golem rank to upgrade)+9 strength+5 speed+1 enduranceA sudden realization dawned on him - he possessed the ability to enhance Titan's mace with his own mana.It was an extraordinary feat, one that seemed exclusive to him, as he had never witnessed anyone else perform such a task.If others knew about this power, they would have saved themselves the trip to the blacksmith, opting instead to create their weapons using their own mana.Empowered by this newfound knowledge, Alec not only upgraded Titan's mace but also seized the opportunity to enhance his shield, elevating it to level 5.Such advancements brought a surge of excitement and satisfaction, knowing that he had strengthened both his and Titan's defenses to an impressive degree.[ Guard shield ]Weapon lvl : 5( upgrade golem rank to upgrade)+3 strength+12 enduranceAs the Mace priorities the strength stats, the shield priorities endurance , and Alec didn't take it too seriously.It was all just for fun, an experiment using his mana, However, he ended up creating something that made Titan overpower a zombie in the same realm as him." It seems to have the power of a (Mid)Tier 1 mage "everyone thought, impressed with Alec's ability to have a (mid) Tier 1 golem while still being in the (low) Tier 1 rank.Only Alec knew that they were mistaken, It was the reinforced weapons that gave Titan the strength to reach that level, but it still couldn't defeat an opponent in a direct confrontation.It's strength relied on the items, so if Titan were to drop either the shield or the mace, it would lose it's advantage."Wow, that's so cool,"Arthur exclaimed, looking at Alec with star-struck eyes."We're still on the battlefield, idiot, Get off me," Alec said, trying to push Arthur away while bypassing the seven level zero golems that surrounded him."You're strong, I'll train harder to catch up to you," Alec heard someone sayHe turned and saw Agnes, another dual elementalist like him and Arthur, standing beside her was someone with a cloak and a masked face that reminded him of the ninjas from his previous world movies."Who is that?" Alec asked Arthur, realizing he had no memory or idea of him since they had never met before."Well, that's Gordon Knight, I guess you don't talk much with the family members, even though you're the young master and leader of the Gordon family's younger generation, He's like us - awakened with dual elements. It seems to be earth and darkness," Arthur explained."Hmm, it seems the family will have another strong member in the future if he trains diligently," Alec mused."You never said that to me,"Arthur complained, pouting, Alec, though tired of Arthur's acting, ignored him, He had just used his inspection skills on Arthur and was shocked by his abilities.[Gordon Arthur]Elements: Earth (mid), Metal (high)Level: Tier one mage (low)Battle power: 70Meanwhile, Agnes only had 60 percent in her battle power, indicating that if she were to clash with Arthur, she would have a higher chance of losing.The 10 percent difference would not be easily bridged.By the time Alec finished analyzing their battle power, Titan had returned and taken his place by his side.It had a dangerously shining red eyes, yet appeared calm as if it hadn't just slaughtered two dangerous zombies.The archers from the family were intimidated by the blood still on Titan's mace, gulping down nervously as they looked at him."Good job,"Alec praised Titan, even though he knew it was just a golem, It was his first intelligent and rare golem.To his surprise, the golem nodded back at him, showing its high level of intelligence and ability to understand him easily.Alec glanced at the guys holding the frontline and noticed most of them were slowing down, their fatigue accumulating.Due to the incredibly high number of zombies attacking the south gate, Alec was certain that if they continued like this, casualties would soon start to pile up.[ Rock Golem ]Level : 0 ( unclassified )Rank : NormalBattle power : 10.He surveyed the seven level zero golems he had created, contemplating the idea of replacing some of his clan members with his team of clay constructs.After all, the golems didn't have to worry about stamina, since they were practically made with mana and only fed off Alec's mana to repair their damaged bodies."System, is there a way to ensure that these normal rank golems level up to level one and gain the same powers as a lower tier mage?" Zyra asked, her voice laced with curiosity.[x : Yes, there is, They have to kill a hundred level zero life forms, like those weak zombies your family members are currently fighting, or they can kill ten level one life forms instead, The choice is yours.]As the System finished explaining, Alec realized that his mana had decreased by another 20, leaving him with around 70 mana.He had been meditating, attempting to recover the lost mana that the System had taken from him, and thankfully, the process was going smoothly and quickly.Perhaps it was because of the numerous zombies that had been slain, making the mana in the air more concentrated.It had created an environment where it was easier for someone to have a smooth breakthrough.However, Alec knew that no one would be foolish enough to attempt a breakthrough in the middle of a war-like environment like this, Everyone was on edge and focused on defending themselves.Looking around, Alec noticed that only the Tier 1 mages from his Clan had joined the defense, Not a single Tier 2 mage had come to lend a hand.Arthur, sensing Alec's realization, asked, "Seems like you noticed, huh?"Alec simply nodded, realizing that the weaker zombies were being used as a training tool for the Tier 1 mages to gain battle experience.This small part of the army that had been left out of the portal was obviously expendable, They were being used by the higher tier zombies to drain the strength of their opponents."I will take care of this,"Alec muttered to himself, his resolve evident in his firm eyes, Arthur couldn't help but smile, proud to follow such a cool boss.Alec poured all his mana into creating spears with earth magic, despite the lack of sand or ground nearby.He manipulated his mana, altering the earth elements in the atmosphere to assist in forming the weapons.This act caught the attention of his grandfather, who observed Alec's improved control over mana in real time.Even after finishing the creation of the spears, Alec wasn't done, He continued to transfer more mana into each spear, ensuring the compression of earth elements on them, effectively leveling them up.Each stone spear now possessed significant power:[Stone Spear]Weapon Level: 5 (...)+7 Strength+7 Agility+1 EnduranceHowever, this effort took a toll on Alec, costing him 10 mana for each spear, He panted in exhaustion and felt dizzy from the aftereffects of depleting all his mana for this singular goal.Yet, when he saw the golems each grab a spear, he knew it was all worth it, He fantasized about the massacre they were about to commit, knowing these spears would make them as strong as a semi-tier one mage, someone on the cusp of breaking through to tier one rank.Though they may not have the same strength as tier one mages, there were more than enough golems to sweep through the unclassified zombies with ease.The spears had boosted their battle power by 30 each."Attack!"Alec commanded the seven golems, with Titan remaining behind as his trusty shield, The golems charged forward, swiftly overtaking the fatigued warriors in front of Alec."Make way for the golems! Fall back and recover your mana,"Alec ordered the Gordon family members, surprising them with his leadership, Though taken aback, they obeyed and retreated, while the zombies attempted to exploit this opening and attack the zombies." Stab"Without hesitation, they wasted no time in thrusting their spears clumsily towards the heads of the zombies.The weapons penetrated the zombies' heads with a single thrust, and then they quickly withdrew their weapons to repeat the process on the other zombies attempting to climb over their fallen comrade.The satisfying sound of victory echoed:[ Ding! ][ +10 experience gained from killing five level 0 zombie ].

Finally, he understood how they could awaken their mastery of weapons, All it took was continuous usage of the weapon in battle, eventually leading to the awakening of the weapon mastery.In the case of Spearmanship, Alec attributed their quick progress to the fact that many golems were already using it. This gave them an advantage over Titan, who had previously used a different weapon, However, this didn't matter much since Titan had already learned the skill. As long as he continued using his mace, he would keep improving himself.Alec decided to test his theory, With a mana pool of around 40 points, he created two new spears and focused on improving their strength and agility. As he prepared to upgrade the level of the spears, Arthur approached him, a

Alec became so engrossed in the fight that he found himself edging closer to the front line, disregarding the protective barrier his golems had established. His countenance transformed into that of a battle-crazed warrior, although every strike he made was calculated and precise. As his spear skills grew more fluid with each use, Alec realized that relying on the system to upload the skills into his mind wasn't enough to become truly skilled—it required practice and experience."Ah, kill!" Alec shouted, charging towards the zombies with his spear instead of waiting for them to come within piercing range. Swinging, slashing, and even using the bottom of the spear to push back the encroaching undead, creating enough space to strike them down. Even Titan joined the massacre, as Agnes rallied the younger members of the clan to participate in the fight."We can't let Alec claim all the glory!, Let's all kill a few zombies!" Agnes said, aiming to bolster the morale of the younger gener

The system seemed determined to throw him into the jaws of death once again, It was like asking a (low) Tier 1 mage to take down a (mid) Tier 1 mage , a task deemed almost impossible.And to make matters worse, the system was demanding that he eliminate a hundred Tier 2 lifeform while still being in Tier 1 mage realm .

Bryan scrutinized Alec, trying to figure out why he was so confident. However, no matter how hard he tried to calculate Alec's actions, it became clear that Alec had a clear head and couldn't be manipulated."I don't know what you're placing your faith in, but I can assure you that if you don't have another golem as big as that guy here, you'll lose terribly," Bryan Lanzt said, pointing at Titan.Alec was taken aback, He was certain that there was nothing that could match Titan's strength. "Oh, and why is that?" Alec asked, genuinely surprised."There is a (Peak) Tier 1 speed demon zombie," Bryan replied.Alec furrowed his brows as he learned that there was a Peak Tier 1 zombie silently lurking among the horde he was defending against.

Auction 3.
The second female mage who had moved backstage earlier now rolled out another table, this time two tables interlocked together to prevent them from separating, one of the tables was empty, while the other was covered in a dark cloth, immediately making many in the crowd realize that was the second item of the day hidden beneath it.As the female mages reached the center, she and the first lady who had remained on stage with Alec began transferring the newly purchased armour, won by the black-clothed man onto the empty table. Once they were done, they placed the new item on the new empty stone pillar.Afterward, the first lady rolled the armour offstage while the crowd waited eagerly for the unveiling of the second item.“Well, in this situation, I’ll go straight to the point and not keep you all in suspense,” Alec said as he started walking toward the stone pillar. However, despite his words, there were many in the crowd who didn’t believe him.Because as he was observing some peop
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
