That marked the end of the assault on Alec's domain, although it seems several human lord cities had fallen, the surviving lords had rallied under the command of their kings to unite against the otherworldly invaders, successfully preventing the complete destruction of the human-controlled domain.Alec, meanwhile, was indifferent to whether the Wilderness King spoke out or not, as he harbored no particular goodwill toward the man, despite acknowledging the implicit protection he gained just by being under his kingdom.Ultimately, Alec viewed the Wilderness King as a deeply irresponsible person. Fortunately, He was served by commendable Great Lords who had already redeployed portions of their armies to the city borders to help, hence halting the enemy's advance into the wilderness king’s domain before it could penetrate further into the realm.Although these Great lords seemed eager to intervene and eliminate the remaining forces encroaching on their king's territories, however; even t

The arrivals from the south were Bailey Lanzt and his son, the current Patriarch of the Lanzt clan. From the north came Orion alongside his brother, who serves as the Patriarch of the Aegisborn clan. Representing the west were representatives of the Darkbliss clan and an independent shadow elemental mage who had sought refuge in Estonia City. When those unwilling to adapt to the Gordon clan's new leadership left the city, these three clans and the lone faction remained, offering their staunch support instead, though even the Coral clan also stayed behind; although loyal, they were a weaker faction since they had yet to produce a high-rank mage. A few months prior, the Grand Elder had approached these clans to ask if they would serve as enforcer clans under the Gordon clan. He initiated this proposal out of a firm belief that a fully united city would stand a far better chance of surviving the Blood Moon War, he never would have expected that he would be using them like this.“Geor

BOOM! BANG!After gathering power for several minutes, the second strike of the heavenly tribulation came crashing down upon Alec, and he had to admit, it was far from pleasant.He gritted his teeth against the searing agony, feeling every single arc of lightning trying to force its way through his pores in a relentless bid to invade his flesh.Blackness nearly claimed his senses, but at the absolute last second, he felt a soothing wave of aura radiated from the amulet resting against his chest, anchoring his mind and keeping him conscious.Alec knew all too well how disastrous passing out would be right now, and that waas because he was at a crucial juncture, splitting his focus across multiple fronts: one part of his mind was actively weaving together his innate spell runes and his total comprehension of them, while another part was delving deep into the fundamental nature of the surrounding flame domain.Finally, he dedicated another portion of his mind to enduring the crashing thu

The entire throne hall shook violently as Kaelus's army general, who is cladded in armor reminiscent of an ancient Japanese samurai, stepped inside, however even he was unable to advance any further when he saw the level of the attack being displayed, the general immediately thrust out his hand, as he was commanding the soldiers behind him to scatter before the devastating shockwaves of the battle crushed them.Bang!The two mages' attacks finally collided against each other, unleashing another wave of destruction through the hall. Though Lucas had unleashed his slashing Qi after Kaelus had already launched his cleave attack, however; when the two forces met head-on Kaelus's attack was only able to hold out for merely a few seconds before shattering completely, allowing the residual energy of Lucas's strike to continue surging forward toward Kaelus.Desperate to neutralize the incoming energy of a single slash from Lucas, Kaelus swiftly unleashed three additional waves of sword Qi o

Just contemplating the sheer range of bloodlines he could fuse at once and the bloodline combinations that would now be available to him was just exhilarating. He hadn't dared attempt merging with more than one bloodline before, as he knew his body couldn't withstand the raw power then. However, even though he hadn’t finished his breakthrough yet, he was already feeling that his improving physique is now capable of unleashing his full potential. Beyond that, his elemental mastery had expanded exponentially after there had been breakthroughs in the stages. Paired with his refined mana and reformed physique, Alec could help feeling that he now has vast options in his arsenal that he could choose from for his future battles.“I suppose you could call me a versatile battle mage,” Alec mused aloud, completely swept up in a wave of pure euphoria, as inside him, he could feel the runes were rapidly converging as he approached the threshold of becoming a Tier 7 human mage.“CRACK-BOOM!”A
