#Back to PresentThis was how the Gordons ended up with the entire Snow Lion Pride chasing after them. Alec and his group were dead set on reaching the city as fast as possible, all fully aware of the disaster that would unfold if the lion overlord king finally realised they were responsible for what happened at his mine and came for them. But what they hadn’t anticipated was that even before the lion king arrived, an entire horde—over five hundred lion-type demonic beasts—was already coming for them.“Aaaahhh! If I survive this, I swear I’ll place a proper curse on you, Alec!” Arthur shouted while sprinting for his life, he didn’t know what else to do with the overwhelming panic building inside him besides cursing to cope.Up ahead, the city loomed—still about three hundred meters away from the gates. Alec couldn’t help but wonder how the human outpost would handle the crisis they’d brought upon them, the three of them had single-handedly triggered a monster wave against a city th

Though it had been a while since the Snow Lion Pride began its retreat after the lion type demonic beasts realized there would be no war today, however the mages atop the city gates were still stunned. Old Man Alderic, in particular, felt numb from the shockwaves running through his mind. The black-armoured mage guards standing with them stared at the Gordon brothers with eyes full of reverence, as frontliners in the constant conflict against second-dimension creatures, these guards had built up a deep-seated hatred for the demonic beasts and orcs that ruled this region after lost battles against them in the past. But despite their resentment, they lacked the strength to do anything significant, this outpost had not gone to war in a long time, and the higher ups seem to have long since accepted their role as defenders in every attack—grateful just to hold onto this patch of land. And this was all because the mages from the academy, especially the mid and high ranks benefited f

The news of the Gordon boys stealing from an Overlord-ranked demonic beast had spread throughout the entire academy by nightfall.Those who had previously been beaten up by Arthur and Brandon felt a cold shiver run down their spines upon hearing it, they suddenly realized they had survived an encounter with a group of madmen—because no normal high-rank mage would dare provoke an Overlord-class demonic beast not to talk about a bunch of mid rank mages. In the Second Dimension, Overlords were not only leaders of their respective races in specific regions, but they also possessed the bloodline and strength to back their position, most Overlords existed at the peak of Tier 9, desperately seeking that final step to ascend into the Monarch realm.Once they succeeded in doing so, they would no longer be confined to one region but would join the ranks of their race’s rulers—assuming their race already had Monarch-level powerhouses, which was more common among humanoid abyss races.The ac

Alec’s mind drifted in that direction because he knew Terran’s problem was clearly linked to a soul-related issue, from the pill’s description, he had a strong premonition that it might just work. With that in mind, he reminded himself to discuss it with his master first and observe his reaction. If it truly had the potential to help, Alec wouldn’t hesitate to do everything in his power to restore Terran to his prime condition.He believed that if Terran’s injuries could be cured, then his breakthrough into the Tier 8 mage realm was just around the corner, after all Terran issues been dubbed the Prince of Earth, not just for show or out of respect, but because of his exceptional potential, even if he acted like a lazy ass.With that, Alec made a silent decision to reserve a place for Terran in his future plans—especially if the pill proved effective.Looking at the number of Tier 7 healing pills he had received, Alec muttered, “So petty .”It wasn’t entirely unjustified; as healing p

The lead wolf was visibly surprised when Alec summoned three more golems to his aid, but it didn’t waver, because despite the unexpected turn, his group still held the number advantage, and with a flick of its tongue, it began fantasizing about how much stronger it would become after devouring the human before it. .That confidence, however, began to crumble slightly the moment the five wolves charged into the defensive circle formed by the golems surrounding Alec, the formation held firm, but it was clear the golems were struggling to hold their own against the beasts. Just then, Alec summoned the rest of his golems into battle.As they emerged, each golem swiftly picked a target, piercing into the wolves already locked in combat with the first wave. Without wasting a second, Alec moved toward the wolf fighting Titan, as Titan was the only one without a second golem partner.Alec attempted to drive his bone katana through the wolf’s eye, but the beast quickly retreated, sensing the
