It had been over two days since the Blood Moon Battle, though Estonia City had returned to a semblance of peace, but a heavy silence lingered for those who were still mourning and for those still infected by the zombie virus. Many of the infected hadn’t received the Gordons’ healing pills on that day, and now they stood at the edge of their limit, their only fate if untreated soon would be death by beheading.But before that grim sentence could be carried out, enforcers from the Gordons clan moved through the city as envoys, distributing healing pills according to each mage’s realm enough to last them for the next 9 days. They made it clear the debt would be forgiven entirely, as long as the recipients’ clans attended the upcoming Gordons clan auction.For the smaller clans, many of whom had been swayed by long-standing rumours about the Gordons, found this unexpected generosity from the Gordons as a shock, and it didn’t take long before they began comparing the Gordons’ benevolen

#City Hall’s MansionThe City Lord of Estonia could be seen pacing restlessly across his room as he waited for his son to bring in the head researcher.Despite his anxious pacing, it didn’t take long before the old man was brought in, The moment the head researcher stepped into the room, the City Lord appeared before him in an instant, wearing a small smile that made the old man uneasy, as he could sense something unsettling was about to be asked of him.“It’s been two days now, so tell me, what have your findings revealed?” the City Lord asked, waving Alistair away. His son left the room and locked the door behind him.“Erm... City Lord,” the researcher began cautiously, “as I said on the first day, there’s absolutely nothing beneficial about hoarding that many zombie corpses. In fact, the best course of action now is immediate incineration.”He took a deep breath and bowed slightly as he continued, “If we don’t act quickly, we risk a viral outbreak within the city hall walls, unl

With the addition of these three breaking into the Tier 6 realm, Alec now had five of his main golems at that level, leaving only three still stuck at Peak Tier 5 realm.He then ordered them to summon their minion golems and quickly noticed something, Oni no longer needed dead bodies to summon his Oni Shinigami army.However, there was still a minor issue, while Oni could call on his existing Shinigami, he definitely still needed fresh corpses to create new ones, and at the moment, he only had five subordinates, remnants of the old group, the difference this time was that every single one of them had advanced to Low Tier 5, as their limits of Peak Tier 4 realm had shattered the moment their leader stepped into Tier 6 realm. Though they were still recognizable as the red and blue Oni Shinigami reapers, they now wore proper body armour, and their spirit weapons seem to have been significantly upgraded to match their new realm.As for Butcher, his Storm Knights were a legion of iron go

With all that in mind, Alec moved toward the second branch, placing his hand against it, this one held a single, massive pod — housing the corpse of a Tier 7 mutated zombie.Because the branch was still at Level 2, it could only comfortably refine mid-rank lifeforms, anything beyond that would strain the branch’s capacity, trigger penalties, and limit it to refining a single corpse at a time. That was the only reason one body occupied a branch meant to hold twenty.[> Pay 100,000 System Points to harvest plant (Y/N) ]Alec, who had been bracing for an increase of at least another ten thousand points, blinked in surprise when the fee landed squarely at a hundred thousand, the thought of how much he was spending now made it feel like a headache was creeping into his skull, though in truth, he was fine. He just wasn’t used to parting with such a large number of System Points so casually.Despite the risk of overburdening the branch, Alec had made this decision for one simple reason,

The pain Alec was feeling refused to subside, stirring genuine concern within him, the pain of breaking through wasn’t meant to be this consistent, nor was it supposed to linger for so long. After all, this wasn’t his first time undergoing a breakthrough, it was meant to be more of a refreshing feeling and if there was one thing Alec understood, it was the clear signs when something wasn’t right. At this point, he was certain the pain wasn’t coming from his overflowing mana battering his muscles and flesh as it forced his physique to evolve.Without wasting another moment, Alec swiftly delved into his inner self, stepping into his microcosmic universe, the instant he arrived, the source of his problem became clear, at the very center of his microcosmic world was a small, radiant ball of light, steadily devouring specks of surrounding light that drifted near it. Orbiting around it were the three powers Alec had awakened, revolving like their own unique stars, though even among th
