The next day arrived quickly, and even as everyone prepared to go watch the loser’s battle, Alec still hadn’t come out of his room.The Dean, the Grand Dean, and Terran were beginning to grow worried, so they asked Agnes to go and call him.Fortunately, when she went to check on him, he was already awake, standing by the window which was covered by a dark shade. Seeing him like that made her feel strangely unsettled, yet even then she couldn’t read what was going on in his mind.They had all thought he might have disappeared during the night, but here he was.“Alec, your presence is required by the Grand Dean,” she said.“Hmm, old man Alderic… I’ll come now,” Alec replied as he came into the light.As he did, Agnes caught a full glimpse of the tattoos on his body: the Sangurion bat spread across his back, the Eclipse Fenwolf on his left arm, and when he turned, the image of a horned drake stretching from his lower back toward his abdomen.“Alec, I wanted to ask—” Agnes began, but Alec

#Estonia CityThe array veil that had covered the entirety of the Gordons’ outer region finally shattered, giving way for the Army to finally invade without fear of an unknown attack.The sound was like glass breaking, echoing across the mages that waited patiently, and the army the City Lord had gathered at last saw the full view of the Gordons’ territory without any barrier concealing it.The three Tier 8 mages present were responsible for attacking first and weakening it before the Tier 7 mages struck down the array; they clearly had realized that the array had already grown weak, which was why the City Lord decided they would lead the charge.And they truly lived up to that role, as the three Tier 8 mages soared into the air and unleashed the first wave of attacks. After that, more than fifteen Tier 7 mages followed up with a second barrage, completely erasing the barrier as the army surged forward.With the array gone, there was no longer any swirling distortion limiting their vi

As for the Third Elder, his golem merged with him immediately turning him into a golden battle mage, the Second Elder had two identical Iron Golems standing behind him which both wield rusty swords.As for the Fifth Elder, he was still seated atop his Tier 7 Tiger Golem, while the Tier 6 golem had a black blob levitating silently behind him, though the golem was only giving a Peak Tier 6 aura , but it still looked dangerous just standing beside its master.The strange thing was that both the Sixth and Second Elders were giving off Tier 7 auras, yet those auras were unstable, it was only after rising into the skies that the City Lord realized they were not truly Tier 7 mages, but rather mages standing at the very border of entering the High Rank realms.They were so close. Clearly, if they had possessed the proper resources, they would already have stepped into the High Ranks, looking at the elders before him, he understood that the Gordons Clan could no longer be classified as a Mid-T

After dragging another Dragonmir clansman into the battle to relieve the Fourth Elder, the situation did not become any easier for the Gordons Patriarch.Against the City Lord alone, he had already gained the upper hand and was confident that victory would only be a matter of time, but they had not accounted for the fact that one of the Tier 8 mages supporting the City Lord was a member of the Dragonmir Clan.From the way the man fought, the Patriarch could tell he came from one of the Dragonmir branch clans and not the core clan itself, however; what shocked him was not that a Dragonmir was involved, but that the City Lord, known for his extreme selfishness, was willing to drag even his own branch family into this attack.Still, the Patriarch endured, even though the situation was growing increasingly bleak.By now, he was no longer relying on his katana alone, he had unsheathed his wakizashi as well, wielding both blades as he fought desperately against the two Dragonmir clansmen wh

The aura released by Alec’s golems wasn’t only a shock to the City Lord’s army, but also to the mages of the Gordons Clan themselves.Within the Gordons Clan, everyone knew how unimaginably difficult it was to push either a mage or a golem beyond the mid ranks, especially the golems, as advancement did not come easily after that point.Among all the elders, only the Patriarch and the Fifth Elder possessed Tier 7 golems, that alone showed just how hard it was to elevate a golem’s realm.Unlike Alec’s seemingly effortless progress, the path of golem evolution had never been a clear or established one, it has always required countless trials and errors to discover which evolution routes were even viable. And with every failure, it became harder for a golem to ever break through again, and that wasn’t even the worst part.The materials and resources required were unimaginably rare and expensive, that when the Patriarch evolved Cyclopes, and when the Fifth Elder evolved his Tiger Golem, t
