The Golem Mage Consequence
Inside the meeting room of the Gordons Clan, all the Elders and the Patriarch gathered, their attention fixed on a screen displaying the inter academy competition. The First Elder, responsible for the clan’s finances, recently discovered a significant sum of power crystals missing from the clan’s treasury, upon investigation, he discovered that the patriarch had been the one to spend a considerable amount to purchase the smallest size lighting mirrors available from the inter academy committee. These mirrors were used to view competitions and provided a way for remote viewers to experience the event as if they were present at the stadium at the capital.The mirrors created the illusion of being directly at the competition, functioning similar to a basic version of a television set, so the Patriarch had intended to use the mirrors to watch and assess Alec’s progress on his own. However, upon learning that Alec had become the captain of the War God A
The Golem Mage Shock (1).
As the clash between the Bandit Academy and War God Academy drew closer, Arthur had cunningly made his way to the betting rings much earlier, he discreetly placed a hefty bet of 10,000 magic crystals on the War God Academy emerging victorious in the match. The potential return on his bet was a staggering one million magic crystals, causing a mischievous grin to spread across his face. As he couldn’t help but daydream about how much Alec would reward him once the bet paid off, it was Alec who had provided the funds for the bet, fueling Arthur’s evil laughter as he imagined how he would spend his share of the winnings.Having returned to his spot, Arthur saw that the match was reaching its climax, so he promptly settled down, his eyes glued to the screen. The visuals were so lifelike that he almost believed if he step out of his chair he would find himself within the forest. However, he knew that was merely an illusion created by the incredibly
The Golem Mage Shock (2 & 3).
The entire crowd at the Colosseum fell into a profound silence, so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping would have been audible, but this silence was justified, for what they were witnessing was nothing short of breath taking. Never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined that the favoured team, the Bandit Academy, would find themselves in such a precarious position against opponents who they were several realms ahead of.In fact, they were not just struggling against the whole of the ordinary team, but a single mage who had barely moved from the chair he had conjured at the beginning of the fight up till now. Alec Gordons had astutely assessed the tempo of the battle while calmly seated in his stone throne, alongside him was Sophia, and Titan by their side with folded arms, it was almost unbelievable that any golem path mage would possess four golems at the same rank as him, let alone rare golems capable of surpassing their own realms in stren
The Golem Mage Conclusion.
As Raven emerged from the shadows, a deafening bang echoed through the air, prompting him to swiftly raise his hand in a desperate attempt to protect his head from the imminent danger. But the Terra sniper bullet intended for his skull tore through his hand bones, narrowly missing its intended target as Raven’s raised hand altered its trajectory at the last second.“Argh!” Raven groaned, the pain pulsating through his injured hand, he couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of what could have happened if the bullet had found its mark in his skull, glancing towards the rooftop where Sophia and Alec stood, his expression hardened with determination.Reluctantly, Raven had to admit that their underestimation of the War God Academy team had led to their lack of battle formations to combat various situations. Despite outward appearances, their overconfidence had blinded them, as they felt a few Tier 3 and newly advanced Tier 4 Mages would be no problem
The Golem Mage Unexpected.
Jack Savage the Captain of Bandit Academy impatiently awaited the sounds of victory, confident that his team would emerged triumphant, however, to his dismay, there seemed to be a delay.“What a waste of time, they must be having a blast with those losers from the War God Academy if they’re taking this long to wrap it up, how I wish I had joined them instead, it would have been more entertaining than this , now I’m just bored,” Jack lamented, stretching his back on the rooftop of the Bandit Academy Castle.Their own white flag fluttered above, mirroring how the War God Academy’s flag was decorated on the other side.Suddenly, Jack’s attention was caught by rustling noises, when he turned, he was greeted by the sight of two unfamiliar Golems flying towards him. One had boosters propelling him forward, while the other rode a sleek silver board in the air.Raised eyebrows conveyed Jack’s surprise, he hadn’t expected to encounter these unknown
The Golem Mage Great Eight (1).
Pale’s eyes fluttered open as he regained consciousness, and he found himself surrounded by his entire team. A wave of remorse washed over him, prompting him to bow his head and apologize. “I’m sorry we lost, i should have done better,” he expressed, feeling responsible for their defeat, due to his unconscious state after Scarlet had incapacitated him, Pale was unaware they won and hadn’t considered the possibility of their victory.Unaware of the battle’s outcome, he could only hear Beatrice’s giggles and feel Lucas’s hand patting his shoulder. Lucas had a wide grin on his face as he reassured Pale, “You can stop sulking, you poor boy, we won!” Despite this revelation, Pale remained genuinely perplexed, contemplating whether he was the target of an elaborate prank.However, his confusion dissipated as he caught sight of a massive water screen suspended high above the Colosseum. The screen displayed highlights from the just-c
The Golem Mage Great Eight (2).
As soon as the crowd learned that one of the Great Eight Academies from the previous year would be competing, the cheers escalated to an unprecedented level.The atmosphere was electric, surpassing the excitement that had greeted the introduction of the Crimson Rose Academy.“The mage leading them into this match is their Vice-Captain, Damien Sorin, a High Tier 5 Mage, accompanied by his sister, Carmilla Sorin, also a High Tier 5 Mage. Following them are Soren Dragonmir, a Low Tier 5 Mage, Connor Lupus, a Low Tier 5 Mage, and finally, Kira Nightfang, a Low Tier 5 Mage,” the referee announced, prompting the crowd to erupt into cheers once more as the members of the Bloodline Academy was listed.“As expected of one of the Great Eight Academies, they’re always keen to flaunt their formidable strength,” a spectator commented.“Why shouldn’t they show off? They have the credentials and the capability, but it seems they’re looking down on the Crimson
The Golem Mage Damien's Blood Manipulation (1).
As the smoke finally cleared, Aria was surprised to see Damien smirking at her, he appeared unscathed, with only a few dishevelled strands of hair and a small scratch on the left side of his face. “Tch! I don’t believe the mages of the Great Eight Academies are invincible; I just believe I’m invincible,” Damien said, but Aria was too preoccupied with examining the material of his uniform to pay much attention to his words. Suddenly, Damien seemed to materialize in front of her, his outstretched hand moving to clamp down on her throat. “It seems you’ve finally realized that I’m wearing Tier 5 spirit clothes engraved with defensive and protection runes., so you’ll need more than a weak blow to hurt me,” Damien said as he closed in on her, almost strangling her. Taken aback by his sudden appearance, Aria swiftly deflected Damien’s hand with her left hand, feeling a surge of anger at him as he was still attacking with one-hand,

Auction 5.
Which was equivalent to at least another ten bodies if they were counting in Tier 5 terms; and now the pills’ value had reached the equivalent of twenty Tier 5 bodies which is the original realm Alec had placed the bid.As the two men stared toward each other’s booth, trying to anticipate each other’s next move and act as cautiously as possible, Alec stood with his hands behind his back, neither announcing nor acknowledging their bids.Everyone was so pumped about his heated bidding battle that the both Booth were probably the only ones being stared at, the crowd found the bidding battle far more interesting than expected, many realizing they even enjoyed watching such power plays.‘Yes! Fight! Bid and spend all your corpses here, in the end, I’ll still be the biggest winner, no matter how much you believe I’m taking a loss,’ Alec thought as he watched them close to breaking down, though he kept a nonchalant face, deep down he was almost jumping for joy seeing how much the pills were
Auction 4.
“For the second round, I’ve prepared a batch of various items to speed things up,” Alec began as he walked towards the stone pillar and pulled off the black cloth that had been covering the items. “I have here three different items for the second round, and as you can see, there are three bottles, each holding cultivation pills, the first bottle contains ten Tier 3 cultivation pills.” “The second bottle holds another ten Tier 4 cultivation pills, while the third bottle contains five Tier 5 cultivation pills, and these three bottles will not be sold separately but as a joint sale, and the starting bid is six Tier 5 bodies.” Alec finally concluded his introduction of the second item, which happened to be a bundled sale, after his statement about the contents of the three pill bottles, the entire auction house fell silent. The breaths of many inside hitched as they could hardly believe their eyes, all this while, when they wanted to cultivate, they had relied on power stones harveste
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
