Before they left, Alec finally noticed some notifications on the screen that he had previously ignored due to being engrossed in a heated battle.
However, now that he was no longer clashing with zombies, he had more time to properly examine them. [Basic spearmanship leveled up] [Basic spearmanship lvl 5 (Max)] [To evolve the skill from basic spearmanship to intermediate spearmanship, you would have to kill a hundred life forms higher than your level]When Alec laid his eyes on the mission once more, he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over him.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 .It was a daunting challenge, to say the least.Although Alec felt the weight of the mission press upon him, he forced himself not to dwell on it for the time being.There was no use worrying about his impending doom in that very moment, His attention shifted to the second notification that the system had presented him with, and to his surprise, it held some unexpected information.[ One of Alec's golems had reached its maximum potential and was ready to evolve into a powerful tier one golem, Choose it's Path. ]× Ordinary tier one golem ( cost 25 mana)× spearman tier one golem ( cost 50 mana)× defensive spearmam tier one golem ( cost 100 mana)When Alec saw the different choices for his golem's evolution, he immediately recognized that each path had been shaped by the golem's fighting style thus far, except for the first choice, which seemed rather ordinary.Alec hesitated when considering this option since he had a limit on the number of golems he could create.He already had a clear preference in mind, the defensive spearman, He believed that since it required more mana, it was bound to be more impressive than the others.As Agnes asked about their plan, Alec snapped back to reality, He realized he didn't have enough mana at the moment to upgrade his golem, let alone reach the necessary one hundred mana for the mission.He decided to put those thoughts aside for now, All his golems, except for Titan, were safely stored inside his space pouch, Titan, with his massive shield and mace strapped to his back, he continued to protect Alec as they made their way towards the north gates.Alec addressed the group, instructing those with long-range spells to conserve their mana until he requested it, as Titan would ensure their defense.Arthur raised a valid concern about Titan's Duties to guard anyone other than Alec, given his intelligence. Knight also questioned how Alec would protect himself if Titan was assigned to defend them.Alec reassured them, stating that he wasn't defenseless and had other golems at his disposal.Knight nodded in understanding, while Agnes snorted, expressing her skepticism. "Still, I'm pretty sure none of your golems are as good as Titan," she remarked."From what I can see, it's like you have put all your wealth into raising him to this level. This means you're going to be in big trouble without your trusty shield," Agnes tried to analyze his powers thinking that he was trying to showoff ."Well, I might not have my trusty shield, Titan, but I have my fierce spear,"Alec responded, thinking about the golem he was about to evolve, Unfortunately, his Clansmen misunderstood him, thinking he was referring to himself fighting with his spear.Upon arriving at the battlefield, they were met with a gruesome sight, Zombies had breached the walls and were biting and clawing at anyone in their path.While the core members of the Lanzt family seemed to be holding their own, but they were quickly running out of mana, as they had no chance to regenerate there Mana.The Lanzt family had retainers who acted as shields for each of them, firing off one wind blade after another.They were skilled at taking out the zombie horde, but Alec's Clansmen realized that this tactic would only deplete their mana faster, leaving them defenseless against the remaining wave of zombies.Alec surveyed the area and noticed that there were no Tier 2 zombies among the horde just like his grandfather insisted.It seemed they had taken the same approach as the Gordon clan, using this battle to train their younger generation and gain battle experience.It was an opportunity they couldn't waste, especially considering the constant threat of higher-ranking members assassinating the weaker ones."Follow behind me and my golems, Save your mana for now, I and my golems have to sharpen our earth spears with zombie blood, I'll definitely need all of you when I run out of stamina,"Alec said, feeling a heat spreading throughout his body.With determination, Alec dashed towards the zombies that were attempting to circle around the Lanzt family.He quickly released his golems from the space pouch to act as the vanguard while he instructed his clan members to stay behind for safety.Walking alongside Titan, he noticed another golem with the highest battle power among his group. Even though it had not evolved yet, it was already displaying signs of intelligence, and he became aware that it might be the golem that has reached Maximum value ."This is going to be fun," Alec whispered to himself as his golems crashed into the zombie encirclement.With their impressive spear skills, Alec and his golems easily pierced through, leaving the members of the Gordon's family amazed. They had witnessed Alec's mastery of the spear before, but now it seemed even more lethal and beautiful."Is it just me or does Alec's spear skill look more impressive than before?" Agnes asked, marveling at the display."There is nothing beautiful about this kind of art. It's bloody and deadly,"Arthur replied, unable to shake off the feeling of his first kill.Alec held onto his spear with a firm grip, fighting like a valiant General of China, He utilized all the knowledge of spear skills that the system had imparted to him when he gained the spearmanship skill.Determined to practice all the basic skills the system had given him, he thrust his spear into the body of every zombie as he moved forward.With his spearmanship reaching level five, executing skills with the spear seemed effortless, causing minimal strain on his wrist.It was as if he had trained with a spear for over ten years, However, Titan fought using a different style, swiftly decapitating any zombie that crossed its path.With one powerful swing of his mace, Alec ensured that any zombie who survived the initial blow would face a hellish second move.He would roll his spiky mace like a drill while it remained embedded in the zombie's body, grinding their heads to a pulp.None of the zombies' attacks were able to bypass his large shield, which he held steadfastly in front of him.Continuously swinging his right hand, Alec took lives in the name of the Gordon Clan."If you know the spell for stone bullet, now is the time to use it, Aim for the head, don't worry about missing, Just practice your accuracy on their bodies; we'll clean up the rest," Alec instructed.As the zombies started to pay attention to them, both the zombies and members of the Lanzt family noticed a decrease in pressure from their left side.They turned to see five kids wearing clothes that belonged to the Gordon Clan, tearing apart the zombies from the back of the encirclement that had trapped them."Those clothes belong to the Gordon Clan, It means they've sent their younger generation to save us," a boy with white hair among the Lanzt younger generations said."Are they trying to show off that their younger generation can handle a crisis while we can't?" another Lanzt child sneered angrily, his mana running low."No, I don't think that's the case, Look at them, especially the guy at the front, He's been fighting solely with his physical powers, along with those nine golems by his side,"the white-haired boy replied."It's clear he's their leader,"the boy's statement silenced the arrogant younger generation members of the Lanzt family.Seeing how Alec and his golems fearlessly hunted the zombies, with no fear in their eyes, while the other four kids supported from behind, those watching nervously imagined themselves in Alec's shoes.The Gordon squad followed closely behind Alec, spraying earth bullets all over the zombie, Alec made sure to finish off any remaining zombies, and they repeated this process until they became adept at handling the undead with their stone bullets.The combination of Alec's golem squad and the stone bullet squad formed a perfect shield and spear formation as they fought their way towards the Lanzt family, eliminating every zombie in their path.

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.

The Golem Mage Prelude to the Final Fight
"Wow, no wonder we never got attacked by Tier 1 zombies, It must have been because they were protecting something or someone," Arthur exclaimepointing out to the seven approaching zombies.As the mixed group of strength type, agility type, and defense type zombies ran towards Legion, they tried to intercept his charge towards whatever it was they were protecting.Alec pondered to himself, "Hmm, it seems this (Peak) Tier 1 zombie can control those weaker than itselt, It looks like that old man, wasn't lying when he said hierarchy is strictly followed among zombies."The Lanzt family watched in awe as Legion finally dashed forward to face the seven Tier 1 zombies that were rushing towards him."How can it be so strong?, Am I hallucinating? ,Please, guys, tell me I'm the only one seeing what's happening at the moment," Sheila Lanzt asked in disbelief."Unfortunately, I can see it too, This is one of the reasons I never wanted to be enemies with that guy, I still feel like he's hiding so

"Kerrrae...rkkkk!" the (Peak) Tier 1 zombie shrieked, its eyes shining red with rage as it dashed towards Legion."The fuck!!!" Alec exclaimed as the zombie charged towards Legion. It was at that moment that Alec realized he had been foolishly underestimating the danger of a (peak) Tier 1 zombie attack. He had thought he could easily handle it, but now he saw just how wrong he was. He couldn't even keep up with the lightning-fast movements of this (peak) Tier 1 speed demon zombie, if he was the one facing the zombie he might have been diced up countless times Legion, on the other hand, remained unfazed. With its circular shield in front and a spear by its side, he patiently waited for the zombie to collide against its defenses. But things didn't go as planned. The zombie quickly changed its movement mid-run and attacked from the side instead, abaddoning the frontal charge it had initiated.

" My Turn!" Legion broke his stance and thrust his spear towards one of the afterimages circling around him, resulting in a loud metallic clash.The exchange between Legion's spear and the zombie's claws revealed the clear victor as the zombie's body was sent flying, and shocking the mages on how he had been quick to find the Zombie.Without hesitation, Legion chased after the zombie, that was still flying and unleashed a series of fast spear thrusts. Though the Zombie attempted to block some of the strikes, it couldn't defend against them all, leading to bloody spots appearing on its body, as all of Legions strike had landed.During each attack, Legion used his left arm to push the shield closer, causing the Zombie's own attacks to rebound and forcing it to take several steps back.Before the Zombie could recover, Legion swiftly slashed towards its head, with the spear tip horizontally."It seems Legion has incorporated Titan's mace techniques into his fighting style again, This gol
The Golem Mage Power stones & Power crystals
The Patriarch of the Lanzt family was already sweating profusely, a clear sign of his genuine fear upon seeing the new golem.Most people in the city tended to underestimate the Golem Path Mages of the Gordons clan , thinking their battle powers were inferior to those of traditional mages And assuming that if they didn't have a Golem to match their realm, they are just useless.That's why even though the Gordon Clan had reached the same realm as the city lord, nobody really feared them because it was believed that none of their "Big 3" golems had upgraded to Tier 7.Upgrading a Golem to the High Rank Realm was incredibly difficult and required a significant amount of special treasures, potentially draining a family's treasury if not done with caution.Tier 7 was considered the domain of high-level mages, and throughout history, the Gordon Clan had only few members who had successfully nurtured a Tier 7 golem. However, George Gordon's rise to power had been different, causing the othe

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

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
