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 fact that it hadn't attacked yet meant it was intelligent enough to hide from there views waiting to ambush his siblings.After all, it specialized in speed."Closing in on my siblings won't be difficult for the zombie," Alec stated coldly."This is another reason why I need you guys to cooperate with me, otherwise, I won't hesitate to leave you all here."The members of the Lanzt clan shivered, feeling like they were being stared at by a dangerous beast rather than a human."I can assure you that my clansmen will cooperate with you," Bryan reassured Alec, hoping to ease the tension."Good, You can all stay here and blast your spells into the crowd of zombies, reducing our workload, At least show your strengths as mages,"Alec scowled as he walked away from them.Bryan was shocked by Alec's demeanor, It was clear that Alec held the Lanzt younger generation in disdainEspecially since they were quite arrogant towards him and the Gordons family despite them coming to their rescueBryan couldn't entirely blame them, as most of them had never left the family grounds, so they still believe the brainwashing that was done on them that they were the strongest familyToday was their first time being led out to defend the city, and their egos were shattered in the face of those horrifying zombies.They soon realized that the "genius" title they had been given meant nothing on the battlefield.If it weren't for the old retainers hired by their clan to serve as meat shields, they could have been killed multiple times.While they cast their spells, they would have likely been the first to fall when the zombies breached the walls.Thankfully, their retainers sacrificed their lives to ensure their escape, and that was the reason they were still alive when Alec arrived.They only had a few retainers left standing by their side now.Upon meeting with the Gordons family, Alec noticed that their Stone Bullet skill had reached level 3while Agnes' was at level 4, She could unleash more stone bullets towards the zombies, and her accuracy was awe-inspiring.Every time she cast the spell, she could conjure up to ten earth-element bullets, leaving the others pale in comparison.Even she could recognize how much she had improved, despite hating that she had sought guidance from her supposed rival.The thought of becoming stronger outweighed everything else."Hey, have you come to an agreement with them?"Arthur asked, as he sent approximately five earth bullets straight into the horde.Out of the five bullets, three found their target."Yes, I did, just wait for it," Alec reassured them.It didn't take long before the Gordons' clan members witnessed a series of wind blades being launched at the zombies from behind.It was like a reaper's scythe, claiming the lives of countless unclassified zombies before losing its power."Who would've thought those seemingly frail children had such immense firepower?" Arthur remarked."I feel like I might just die if one of those wind blades was aimed at me," Agnes admitted."Shut the fuck up, If a wind blade is aimed at you, slash back at it, and if that doesn't work, raise an earth wall while evading," Alec advised."Even if they are skilled with their spells, it doesn't matter, once we close the distance, the Lanzt family is nothing more than a sitting duck waiting to be killed," Alec declared confidently.The eyes of the children sparkled with determination, even the usually quiet Brandon seemed to roar louder than ever before after Alec's motivating words.Alec gazed at them and sighed inwardly, His family members were so young and easily influenced.but as their leader, it was crucial that they followed his commands.However, it was his own strength that had truly earned their respect.In just a few hours of being with Alec, they could feel themselves improving more than they had in weeks of solitary cultivation and meditation.His words of encouragement had almost addicted them to fighting recklessly, much like him.Brandon, in particular, had started taking the initiative to counterattack instead of just defending and killing the zombies who got too close with a quick slash."Arthur, your mana is running low, Don't waste it on Stone Bullet, Condense a metal sword like before and take over for Brandon, His reckless fighting style is making him lose stamina," Alec advised."Yes, boss," Arthur responded promptly.He swiftly used his metal element to create a sharp, compressed metallic sword, sustaining it with mana as he walked over to Brandon and instructed him to switch."Boss, I can still fight," Brandon tried to assure Alec as he approached.Alec's eyebrows raised as he realized that even Brandon had started referring to him as "boss." He felt like scolding Arthur later, once this was all over."I know, but you're running low on stamina, I don't want you to get injured, even if it can be cured with purification water"" It's better to avoid unnecessary risks since we're aiming for an overwhelming victory," Alec explained.Another set of wind blades was unleashed, reducing the horde.Alec knew his job was almost done, as he had prevented the zombies from the North Gate from attacking the civilians in the city.All that was left was to either bait out the peak Tier One zombie or eliminate all the unclassified zombies until it became visible."Join up with the rest and give Stone Bullet a try, Before you say you're not good at it, just know that practice makes perfect"" Keep attacking until you get the hang of it. We've got your back, Brandon, We Gordons don't leave a genius behind," Alec encouraged, patting Brandon on the back as he came to the rear linebAlec was convinced that with Brandon's peak Affinity, he would excel at using Stone Bullet once he grasped the spell properly.By Alec's observations, Brandon had never attempted to use the spell, likely due to his fighting style.Otherwise, it would have been evident in his skillset, even if it was at a level 1 range.This was why Alec used his role as their leader to encourage Brandon to use it. They needed every able hand on deck, and even Alec himself was on guard.Ever since he had learned about the existence of a (Peak) Tier 1 undead entity.He had refrained from informing his clan members, not wanting to instill panic among them.He couldn't help but think of the chaos that panic had caused for the Lanzt family.Alec remembered the Level 0 golem that prompt a notification when they left the South Gates.It had been on the verge of evolving into a Tier One golem, with sufficient mana to reach that realm.The golem stood before Alec, appearing no different from the others, but he knew it was the strongest, besides Titan."Here goes nothing,".Alec whispered as he reluctantly embraced the final option.In that instant, it was as if a never-before-seen magic unfolded before his eyes, his mana flowing through his hands and into the golem's body.

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
The Golem Mage Assimilation of shield mastery
"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. "This fucker is too intelligent for my liking, How the fuck are kids like us left to ta
The Golem Mage Power Throw
" 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
The Golem Mage small Breakthrough
It has been five days since the small horde attack at the City gate occurred, and the whole city has returned to a state of peace as if the attack never happened in the first place. However, the families and clan of the mages in the city can't stop talking about the details of the attack. Everyone were well aware that the Gordon's Clan outperformed the other families, clans and was rewarded the highest prize for their participation in the hunt.The hunt was initially organized as an exercise for the younger generations of the families, and clans as they believed the horde posed no significant threat. But now, due to entrusting the younger generations with this task, two big secrets have been revealed. First, it is widely gossiped that the Gordon's family's young master is a rare genius, a talent not seen in a thousand years. People talk about how he was able to kill a Peak-Tier 1 zombie without even a scratch and how he already possesses two well known Tier 1 golems, making him o
The Golem Mage Four New Special Golem's
Alec decided to take a shower, as he noticed a lingering, unpleasant odor emanating from his body after the recent breakthrough, and that was the only reason why he had left his Arthur and Brandon with the golems.Even though there was no visible residue, he could still sense the impurities that had been expelled."I hope they're holding up well against Titan," Alec murmured to himself while cleaning his body.As he did so, he couldn't help but notice the incredible development of his abs and muscles, making him appear more attractive and confident with his exposed upper body."I bet I could turn some heads just by flaunting this sexy physique," Alec thought to himself,giving a playful wink at his reflection before making his way back to the courtyard.He was eager to witness Brandon's and Arthur's progress.However, as he stepped into the courtyard, his mouth hung open in shock.It was a sight that shook him to the core—the bodies of his siblings lay on the ground, groaning in pain,

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
