"What's your plan?" The System Spirit, who was now fully released in the absence of anyone else, asked Alec with a somber expression."Truth be told, I'm just as clueless." " I can only hope for a miracle, as always, If not, I'll have to buy us some time by deploying my golems and hope that With their help, it'll be much harder for the pursuers to track us down, since we'll always find them first thanks to Legions scanner" Alec replied."That sounds like a foolish plan," the system spirit retorted."Do you have a better plan?, If you do, please let me know right away, I am opened to new ideas and opinion " Alec challenged the spirit, who averted its gaze in embarrassment."Well, since we don't have any other plan, I guess we'll stick to this one, After all, a bad plan is still better than no plan," the system spirit grumbled reluctantly, agreeing to Alec's proposal."Master, that might not be necessary, as the pursuers seem to have split into smaller groups to cover more ground," L

A few seconds after Alec and his golem squad left, the other five mages that Legion mentioned finally located the barrier mage.Astrid cautiously approached the barrier mage and placed a hand on his neck, feeling the pulse still beating. Making him He let out a relieved sigh.If he had lost a member of his party on this mission without any clear benefits, Igor’s Chief Disciple, which was also Astrid's senior disciple , would not hesitate to give him a harsh beating."How did something like this happen?" Astrid asked, turning towards the Divination mage who stood at the edge."I picked up a faint divination signal of someone being close, a mage signal, but it was fluctuating at a very low level, like he was in the Tier 2 realm." " So, I figured he must be one of the ones we were prepared to capture," the Divination mage explained."I quickly informed my partner and asked him to call for backup, but he refused, saying it was just one mage and that we could handle it." " However, as

This time, Astrid was determined to uncover the reasons why they always seemed to be one step behind the culprit who kept targeting their group by knocking out the mages. Aware that they might have to make another move to confront this group of Mages , Astrid insisted that they refrain from splitting up. Instead, he believed it was crucial to fully utilize the divination Mage's abilities, so they don't fall for any scheme of the mages again.The Divination Mage had been the only one who consistently managed to locate or track down their elusive attacker in the darkness. And Astrid seems to have recognized the significance of his abilities which he never bothered with before. Kethra, in particular, was eager to capture Alec and uncover all the secrets he held. However, he couldn't help but grumble in frustration as he believed Astrid was wasting valuable time that could be spent in locating the sdete of Mages that was led by Alec.But Astrid's refusal to listen to Kethra's ideas o

The Blood Changdao and Kethra's Dual dagger clashed once again as Alec and Kethra stood face to face for the second time.However, this time Alec had grown significantly stronger since their last encounter. Not only had he gained control over his sword intent after watching Sword Saint, but he had also learned how to effectively harness his Blood killing intent beyond simply using it to manipulate his sword Intents to abide to his will.Kethra swung his leg towards Alec's head after they got locked in a standoff, But Alec swiftly released his left grip on the Blood Changdao and drew his Bone katana to defend himself. Hoping that Kethra would reconsider his attack upon seeing Alec armed with a blade, But Alec underestimated the force behind Kethra's leg strike.The impact of Kethra's legs ruthlessly colliding with the katana caused Alec to stumble back, the metallic sound of their clash accompanied by a gust of wind. Alec adjusted his neck uncomfortably before regaining his composur

After a few minutes of intense fighting, every mage and golems present found themselves writhing in pain on the ground.In Astrid's group, they had already lost five mages, leaving them with only seven mages left. Alec couldn't help but wonder how the Barrier Mage had managed to survive thus far.Beside him, Titan's right hand was completely destroyed, but he defiantly held a massive ice shield in his left hand, standing protectively in front of Alec. His unwavering determination to defend Alec was evident, even at the cost of sacrificing his own hand."I hate to admit it, but your little toys seem to be more useful than my team of mages, despite their lower realm," Astrid remarked, gripping a lightning bolt tightly, despite his hand being scalded by its power.He paid no attention to his injuries, his gaze fixed on the menacing Root that continued to glare at them. They had exhausted every strategy, but all their attempts had only resulted in failure. Alec snorted, disregarding A
