Seeing Pale running toward his side of the battlefield made Cassian a bit worried, as he didn’t know what that meant. He could see Grayson coming up behind, but it didn’t change the fact that Grayson was slower than Pale, and it didn’t help that his weapon of choice just happened to be a massive warhammer which made his speed more slower than normal.At that moment, Cassian was really contemplating which direction he was supposed to point his weapons at, he thought about just focusing on Knight but then again Pale could be trouble if he left him unattended to.“You ready?” Pale asked, turning to look at Knight, who was about to dash out to meet him halfway.“Yea,” Knight replied with a straight face.“Then give me a lift on your way,” Pale said, just as Knight finally dashed out, as their bodies passed each other, Knight pressed his left hand, which is coated in a brown-colored hue—down onto the ground.In response to this motion of his, a small earthen pillar shot up from beneath Pal

All of this happened in a very short span of time, as Alec was finally able to close in on Roderic, who swung his sword sideways to meet him, but before the blade could reach, the smoke behind Alec surged forward, wrapping around him. The sword Qi Roderic released was scattered and thwarted by the thick smoke that almost engulfed Alec.It was then Roderic realised how the smoke was reacting to Alec—almost like some type of protective barrier, all this while he’d been wondering why Alec had dashed into the explosion like some mage on a suicide mission.Now he was starting to get an idea. He glanced back toward Serena while retreating, as Alec’s figure vanished again inside the spreading smoke fog, leaving him completely unsure of Alec’s exact position. The way the smoke moved gave him a bad feeling that Alec could move freely within it.“I think you’ll have to get your hands dirty for this one Serena, you can’t sit it out again,” Roderic said as he stared into the fog, unsure of what

Immediately after Alec cast the spell, a massive flaming fist shot forward toward Roderic, with Alec trailing just a little behind it, Roderic in response to this attack on him instantly raised his left hand which was covered by a magic gauntlet and fired controlled mana burst balls into the air to meet the Enhanced Flaming Fist. His reaction had been really swift.Bang!A small explosion went off mid-air as both attacks met mid air, and smoke spread out, covering Alec’s figure who was still dropping down, which caused many of the War God Mage Academy supporters in the stands to gasp in shock.While most of them thought Alec must have been injured for being caught in the blast range, Roderic on the ground had his doubts and retreated a few steps back, confusing many of the low-rank mages watching and didn’t understand what was going on.Roderic could have sworn he’d seen Alec bend his body and push himself further into the blast the moment it happened, and he couldn’t understand why

The stands erupted as the crowd began screaming with joy, and for the first time, the citizens of the Northern Kingdom were cheering for the War God Mage Academy without any reservation, like they were no longer separated again.The new set of supporters no longer seemed bothered by the idea that their cheers might annoy the king, at this moment, all they wanted was to join the die-hard fans of the War God Academy and shout their hearts out.Seeing Alec finally make a series of serious moves sent them into overdrive, as it felt just like the Inter-Academy Competition all over again for them. It was no surprise that Alec and the War God Mage Academy team had won the hearts of many mages in the crowd, especially since a lot of them already held some prejudice against one or more of the Great Eight Academies.“Can you hear that?” Vladimir asked Vincent who stood beside him, as the entire crowd of Northern Kingdom mages shouted Alec’s name, which completely drowned out the Western Kingdo

The battle was about to begin as Roderic Vale led his team of mages onto the battle ring. His posture was straight, shoulders relaxed like they were never going to slack. He had the stance of someone who had survived real wars and learned to remain calm within them, with his ash-blond hair tied back loosely at the nape of his neck, with a few stray strands falling over his forehead as he moved, and his eyes were a striking steel-blue.He wore a long dark coat reinforced with silver runic plating, light enough for movement but strong enough to deflect spells. His Spell Gauntlet sat on his left arm, pulsing with faint blue inscriptions, while a runic longsword rested at his left hip and a mana revolver was holstered at his right thigh, completing his tri-style combat persona.Behind him were Serena, Cassian, Talia, and Grayson, once both teams looked settled and ready, the referee slowly levitated into the air and said, “Now, let the match begin.”It was just a few words, but the mo

The next day came and it was finally time for the remaining ten teams that had progressed to face each other—and funny enough, this time the War God Mage Academy was fighting in the very first match.War God Mage Academy vs Argent GuildSolarium Sanctum vs Bloodline AcademyBattle Mage Academy vs Ember CitadelCrimson Dawn Academy vs Shinsei AcademyBlades Clan Team vs School of Silent NightEven though there were only five matches to decide the five teams that would move on to the next stage, every matchup looked so tight that even the fans found it hard to predict who would advance to the next stage.There were also the neutral fans who just supported any team that fought well, and they were having a hard time looking at the new fixtures, because no matter who won, they were guaranteed to lose a couple of top teams after this round.So, rather than spoil their mood, they simply decided that they would cheer as hard as they could for each of the clubs playing.With all the teams read

“Your Majesty, if we do not receive reinforcements within the next three days, we may lose this battle,” one of Jerome’s Tier 1 captains spoke urgently, addressing the brooding Jerome as he sat upon his throne.The entire J-Clan Kingdom had been thrust into a state of war ever since the capital had been attacked. At present, they remained in the dark about the identity of the assailants or the kingdom from which the attackers have originated, as no kingdom insignia or flags were present on the black armoured warriors. It was a surprise assault that even King Jayden could have never foreseen, as the attackers had managed to strike without revealing their allegiance.Undoubtedly, they possessed some affiliation, yet one thing was certain: the invading army did not belong to any of the forces within the Wastelands. As none of the Wasteland kingdoms possessed nor the army or the capacity to mount such a grand-scale assault, targeting not only the main kingdom but also attempting to di

“Arrrgh! Why? How could you all allow this to happen?” The Orc chieftain’s voice reverberated through the throne room as he paced angrily, his bare chest heaving. Outside the massive window adjacent to the throne room, three immense images of grieving Orcs that had two stars revolving around them were displayed.The more he gazed at the images, the stronger his urge grew to clench his hands in his hair and pull them out in frustration.Although three Tier 2 kingdoms under their rule had been swiftly destroyed without resistance, it felt as if the battle had been between a child and an adult, the chieftain demanded an explanation for their rapid defeat.While all three kingdoms had suffered destruction, it was evident that the first to fall was indicated by the Orc image on the verge of disappearing above that particular kingdom.The loss of the Goblin kingdom, that was previously responsible for handling distasteful tasks they wished to avoid, had already stung when Jax decimated it.

As Lyra slowly advanced, the other Orc that had survived with the Orc captain was already sweating. However, when he glanced sideways, he noticed his leader making hand signals indicating that he had to make a run for it, but the orc hesitated; as he didn’t want to make himself Lyra’s next target, but the stern stare from his leader made it clear that rejecting a direct order meant certain death. Caught between the archer and his captain, he knew he had no choice.Their line of work was inherently risky, as they ventured into enemy territory without support, however, this mission had proven to be a complete failure. And it no seemed there was no hope left for their squad, with only two members remaining. With a nod, the orc signalled that he understood the plan and was prepared to proceed, this elicited a smile from the orc captain, who then gave another hand signal, counting down from three.As soon as he reached zero, the other orc swiftly got up and attempted to flee, Lyra’s

Silently, a group of ten Orcs emerged, encircling the remnants of the destroyed Goblin kingdom, and concealing their presence, their objective was to gather intelligence about the kingdom, or race that had dared to attack the Goblins kingdom, and was also capable of annihilating them before aid could arrive. These ten Orcs were elite spies dispatched by the Orc empire.While they possessed a smaller stature than the main Orc warriors, this reduction in size did not diminish their strength, in fact, they remained just as formidable as their larger counterparts, relying on their swiftness to compensate, while equipped with lighter and more nimble weaponry, they eschewed the heavy arms typically favoured by other large Orcs.“Move out!” commanded their leader, urging them to close the distance to the walls of the Goblin kingdom as the pass through boulders, their current position hindered their ability to gather information, obstructed by the towering walls constructed by the Goblins.

The news of Jax’s successful obliteration of the Goblin kingdom had rapidly spread throughout the J-Clan kingdom. King Jayden wasted no time in dispatching numerous message birds to the subordinate kings under him, officially announcing Jax’s victory over the Tier 2 Goblin kingdom at the border.While others might have been oblivious to Jax’s recent exploits, King Jayden himself couldn’t deny that he wasn’t well-informed about Jax’s movements. Though the Orc empire may still be unaware, but King Jayden knew that it wouldn’t be long before they gathered the intelligence that Jax and his army were responsible for the destruction of the Goblin kingdom. And when the news would inevitably make its way back to the Orc empire, they would then disseminate it further, therefore, Jayden wanted to ensure that he spread the news from his own kingdom before the Orc empire had the chance, starting with his children and the other general kings under his rule.–When Jessie received the messag

The Orc kingdoms near the area were not the only ones to catch wind of the situation of the wailing Goblin and realised that the Tier 2 Goblin Kingdom had been destroyed; some of the human kingdoms situated close to the borders of the Wastelands also became aware of what was happening.Meanwhile, in the capital palace of the J Clan, King Jayden gazed out of his window watching the image of the wailing goblin in distance, though his spies had yet to deliver any messages, but he felt no need to wait for their reports to understand who had initiated the attack on the Goblin kingdom, leading to its demise.After all, only Jax had sent him a letter declaring war, and he was the sole human king who had made recent movements with his army. King Jayden had initially anticipated that it would take Jax days to conquer any kingdom of his choosing, however, he had never expected Jax to completely destroy another Tier 2 kingdom. Jax had accomplished something that most of the other Tier 2 human
