In the end, Alec successfully helped Agnes evolve all five of her golems, before collapsing onto his back with a loud thud that echoed around them.Agnes squealed and rushed toward the new forms of the three golems Alec had just worked on. As usual, before starting the evolution, Alec had explained the paths available for her to choose from, just as he had done when he worked on the stone golems’ evolution. Alec believed that as the master, she should have a say in what path her golems would evolve into.And she decided that two of them would follow the mud golem path, while the last would become an ice golem.Alec was surprised by her choice of the mud golem over the tank/ attacking/control-type ice golem. However, upon further reflection, he began to see a connection, as he recalled that in the past, when he wanted his golems to focus on a specific path, he created something to steer them in that direction. For example, crafting earth spears for his early batch of golems had
“Move out!” Selene’s voice rang out, calling the team to attention, beside her stood the Dean and two other instructors, all dressed in fine attire.The team began to assemble one by one, and Selene nodded in approval as she noticed that those who were coming out had made significant progress. Her eyes quickly skimmed over Lucas and Beatrice; Lucas appeared to be on the verge of reaching the mid Tier 5 Mage realm, exuding a type of pressure that Beatrice lacked, despite the both of them being in the low Tier 5 Mage Realm, which showed just how close he was to the Mid realm. However, Selene knew that despite Lucas being in a higher realm than Beatrice, her battle power still surpassed his. It was akin to how Alec, despite once being at one of the lowest realms in the team, he had still managed to hold the number one spot, because battle power consists of a lot of things and not just realm.This was the main reason Selene wasn't too concerned about Beatrice’s slower progress; as she
People from all corners of the kingdom had purchased tickets to the third round, and these tickets happened to be coordinate talismans. This meant that anyone wishing to attend the third round of the competition in person needed either to own a teleportation device, like the Dean of the War God Academy, or to locate one of the local teleportation businesses around the capital. These were the only means of access to the venue, which was situated within the Royal palace.However, the coordinate talismans given as tickets differed significantly from those issued to the teams. Because each ticket was designed for one individual only; not only did the colours vary, but the talismans also vanished after the user passed through the teleportation device, unlike those provided to the Academy teams. Each ticket talisman was also linked to a specific seat in the Royal Arena Colosseum.After the Dean passed through the golden swirling portal, the rest of the team followed behind him, with S
After the crowd finally settled from the king’s appearance, it was now time for the third round to begin. In the middle of the battle ring, a small circular hole opened up as the red-haired referee, who had provided insights at the start of the academy competition rose from this small opening.The spectators, curious about the spectacle, finally saw an earthen pillar beneath his feet slowly rising him to the air, creating an ethereal entrance to the stage.“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Royal Arena! Are you ready for the first match of the third round?” the referee exclaimed, instantly igniting enthusiasm in the audience. As a deafening roar of “Yes!” erupted, causing the Royal Arena to vibrate from the intensity of the cheering.“It’s clear that you’re all quite excited, so I won’t waste any more of your precious time, the third round will begin in just a few minutes,” he added.“But before that, join me in welcoming one of the participants’ teams, the dark, the eerie, the m
The War God Academy team began to emerge from the newly opened tunnel door, as they were greeted by a raucous crowd. Leading the Team’s charge were Selene and, surprisingly, Beatrice, both waving enthusiastically at the audience.They were all dressed in sleek black uniforms with red trim, the War God Academy team looked undeniably cool and bad ass, the only down side to all of this was the fact that their uniform was of low quality. Yet it was clear their entire fan base was eagerly anticipating one individual. And when he finally appeared as the last member of the War God Mage team, the cheers intensified, with his name—“Alec!!!”—echoing throughout the Grand Arena Colosseum.Alec walked forward slowly, waving as he and his teammates approached the center of the battlefield, just a few meters from the dividing line, that divided both teams. “Bow!” commanded the red-haired referee, causing the Both teams to bow toward each other, extending their hands cupped forward in a gesture
The War God Academy team had finally finished announcing their full names and realms. In the VIP section, the other Deans exchanged surprised glances with the Dean of War God Academy.They all assumed he must have sacrificed a considerable amount of wealth to boost his team’s strength. The War God Academy Dean could only offer a nervous smile outwardly in return , while inwardly, his mind was in turmoil, he knew that he didn’t possess such wealth neither did he have any idea how his students had advanced so quickly.Although he had seen them just minutes before, but he had been so thrilled to attend a prestigious ceremony inside the Royal Palace that he forgot to question their rapid progress. Now that he thought about it, the leap in their battle realms was extraordinary. Even if he doubted they would win, he was proud to see that the War God Academy team hadn’t given up. Their morale and confidence were still remarkably high, and his gaze couldn’t help stopping at Alec, the s
As Alec advanced, he intentionally left his golems behind instead of bringing them along, hoping that the Onyx Academy team would be defeated quickly. This was all because the Onyx Academy squad had gained the upper hand after the initial clashes and had been pushing the War God Academy team back. However, once Alec drifted toward their captain, Dorian, on the other side of the battlefield the members of Onyx exchanged knowing glances. They understood that after casting the Undead Horde spell, Dorian would be in a weakened state. Typically, Dorian wouldn’t strain himself to such an extent; he always ensured he had enough mana in reserve for subsequent moves. Yet he had done something different in this match, given the sheer number of undead creatures on the battlefield, it was clear to anyone watching that despite the rumours about Onyx Academy claiming War God Academy would be easily defeated, their captain was going all out from the beginning not even underestimating their op
Pale was still in shock at how quickly Legion had dispatched two Tier 5 mages, and Legion's calm demeanor made it seem as if eliminating them had been effortless. “Hey, ice boy! Cast an ice wall spell for me, fast!” Pale frowned upon hearing another Golem giving him orders, but he gritted his teeth in anger. Because despite his frustration the golems were actually stronger than him, so he chose not to retaliate and instead cast the ice wall, reassuring himself that he was doing this for the sake of the team's plan. As soon as he finished, loud banging echoed from the other side of the ice wall, as if someone were smashing their fist against the ice wall. Crack! After about six thunderous blows, the ice wall finally shattered, creating a mist that obscured Pale’s view. When the fog finally cleared, he saw Titan gripping the head of a death knight. The realization then hit him, no one had been pounding on the wall; Titan had been forcefully smashing the death knight's head agains
