Legion, meanwhile, was still trading blows with the Mutated Tier 7 zombie, while all this was happening, a split second later, both Titan and Alec shot out of the crater.Even as dust still clouded the battlefield, obscuring the view of the few human mages fortunate enough to witness Alec’s fight, he and Titan emerged into sight the moment they soared upward.The Mutated Strength-type zombie, which had been pummelling Legion with relentless strikes around, was suddenly forced onto the defensive as Alec and Titan joined the fray, their attacks flowed seamlessly, as if they were moving in perfect sync.Yet, the strength-type zombie was not to be underestimated, it met their blows head-on, refusing to buckle under the relentless barrage, even as it was being overwhelmed from three directions, it held its ground, its skin seemingly hardening to withstand their strikes.The low-rank mages standing at the city gates could only watch in awe, their eyes struggled to track the rapid movements

From that moment onward, Alec and his golems were like tigers given wings after their first kill, especially Alec. Not only did he slay the next Tier 7 zombie alone, but he had done so effortlessly.This was largely because his bone katana had become significantly stronger after absorbing the bones of a Tier 7 strength-type zombie, combined with Alec coating the blade in his black flames, it gave him a distinct edge.The black flames burned through anything, and were nearly impossible to extinguish until it died out itself, and it also inflicted lasting damage even on high-rank mages, and it swiftly became Alec’s go-to enchantment, allowing him to wield his weapon mastery to its fullest. For a zombie facing a mage with such speed and intermediate weapon mastery, it was nothing short of a nightmare. As no matter how it attacked, Alec had his Earth element reinforcing his defences, and even as he fought, he maintained a Stone Skin spell, which assimilated into his body to guard again

Just thinking of sucking blood from a young lady like her was like a drug to them, but as the two Tier 6 noble vampires closed in within thirty meters, the eyes of the flaming swordsman, which had been dull, suddenly lit up with life. As Colour radiated back into his pupils as Beatrice tapped his shoulder, and a mana string appeared, linking them together.[> Mid-Tier Spell + Skill – Flaming Arc Slash <]In one smooth motion, the flaming swordsman unsheathed his sword and performed a swift, mesmerizing sword dance. As a surge of searing orange flames engulfed the vampires lunging toward him, in the next instant, he stood precisely thirty meters away from his previous position, his blade still ablaze.Those watching were stunned to see the Tier 6 noble vampires, no less beheaded in an instant with their bodies burning. They were formidable opponents, yet the flaming swordsman puppet had not only overpowered them but done so effortlessly with the speed they seemed so proud of, his

“I believe I made it quite clear that I wouldn’t allow your clan the opportunity to take the corpse, however, in light of your impressive performance in helping the city win, I’ll allow you to take only the corpses of the zombies your clan has slain,” the City Lord said, staring at George Gordon as if waiting for him to object.But it was Alec who spoke first, stepping out from behind before his grandfather could process what the city lord really wants.“But the city hall has no use for these corpses, so why go so far to keep us from taking them, especially if you’re all are just going to burn them anyway?” Alec asked.“Alec, don’t,” the Patriarch said, stepping forward and moving Alec behind him. Alec, who had dismissed his spirit equipment, stood bare-chested with his kimono draped around his waist not happy with his grandfather’s decision.“Well, for your information, Gordon’s cub, these corpses were requested by a city hall researcher who wants to experiment on them, so yes, I’

Everything had happened in an instant, so fast that many of the other mages atop the city gates couldn’t react in time to the Coral Clan mage’s transformation.Fortunately, Alec had been keeping an eye on him and, the moment he noticed the situation spiralling out of control, gave the immediate order to eliminate the threat.If they had allowed the transformation to complete, the mages atop the city walls would have been vulnerable to a surprise attack, though the creature would’ve eventually been taken down, but it would have had enough time to infect others, especially since most of the mages on the wall were only Tier 3. The only exception were the other three infected human mages, who were currently too weak to fight as they focused on gathering mana now that the virus in their bodies had been temporarily restricted.But after witnessing what happened to the Coral Clan mage, they quickly realized an important truth: although the healing pills could suppress the virus, they didn’
