Days passed after the Gordons’ auction, yet it remained the city’s hottest topic, as if it had only just happened. The buzz hadn’t died down, and with good reason, because thanks to the introduction of the Undead Purge pills, many infected mages that had been damn to die had been cured instead, and some clans chose to store their remaining pills, treating them as vital lifelines for the next Blood Moon battle after seeing how efficient it was.When the City Lord of the Estonia city finally heard the full account of what happened at the auction, he found himself completely at a loss, at first, he could hardly believe what his son told him about the quality of things that were auctioned off, but with nearly the entire city echoing the same story, he could no longer feign indifference. And one thing became crystal clear to him and that was the fact that he had gravely underestimated the Gordons Clan, every time he felt like he had overestimated them enough and they just come up with an

“Just hear me out. From what I’ve gathered, he’s Pale Zero, now one of the newly chosen of the Zero Clan. So, it makes sense that he’s reached the Tier 6 mage realm,” the mage began, pausing briefly as his friends shot him annoyed looks. Still, he could tell they saw some logic in what he was saying.“Even if he’s a Tier 6 mage, it’s obvious that he lacks real combat experience. He’s probably just one of those ancient clan mages stuffed with pills to push their realm higher, all Big Brother needs to do is defeat him before he consolidates his realm, think of the fame you’ll gain from it.”The Fourth quickly wrapped up his reasoning, throwing in a few flattering words to stroke the ego of the strongest among them.“Yeah, now that you put it that way, that makes sense, let me go teach these juniors a lesson, they should know to greet their seniors when they see them,” the leader replied, puffing up with pride after the timid fourth member’s praise.With a foolish sense of superiority

Apart from those three, Beatrice Marionette was the only other member of their team who had returned to the academy that day.Unlike Pale and Lucas which could hide their Tier 6, she was merely a low Tier 6 mage who had just broken through; and it was evident from her unstable aura that she hadn’t consolidated her realm yet or gained full control over her new strength to be able to hide her realm.Still, after Katie had thoroughly beaten the three mages who tried to block her and Pale, the number of challengers looking to test their strength against the top eleven dropped significantly. Most decided it was better to remain uninjured than to risk their pride all for ranking by underestimating someone they couldn’t gauge properly.Ironically, that made Katie the most challenged member of the team, being ranked eleventh, many saw her as a benchmark to test their strength against, but when the stream of challenges became relentless, Katie started responding with brutal counterattacks,

After eating the fish, they found out that not only was it incredibly delicious but also strangely addictive. Even Alec received a system notification awarding him a small amount of experience points, though negligible but that was enough to spark an idea. Despite not being a great cook himself, the quality of the fish elevated the meal to something exceptional. Sensing an opportunity, he called for a meeting, with his father away, he requested the clan elders to help him gather skilled Gordon ladies interested in managing a restaurant in the business district when he returned to the academy.And so, the Gordon Restaurant was born, with spirit fish as its signature dish. Alec discovered that the longer the fish stayed in the amulet world, the higher its cultivation realm became( the limit being Tier 5 due to the pools level), and with it, the benefits to anyone who consumed it. Higher-tier fish weren’t just more nutritious, they were also more flavourful and significantly larg

Just as Alec was still looking at his system screen, the kangaroo leader had already risen, it let out a roar toward the sky as its body surged with wind, lightning, and water elements, the cries that followed were laced with anguish—every one of its minions had been slaughtered, and it howled in grief, a cry meant to announce its location to the other overlords of nearby regions.It knew it owed them blood debts for their subordinates it had killed so its kind could devour their hearts to progress and assimilate with other affinity though they didn’t have time to learn how to use those affinity yet, before they met with the unlucky star Alec and his golems. Now, those debts would draw other overlords to this spot soon and that was exactly what it wanted. It no longer believed it could stand against Alec’s golems, so it intended to drag Alec down with him in a final stand.Despite everything, the kangaroo still clung to the belief that he could take Alec in a one-on-one fight, he co
