[> High Tier Skill – Phase <]

The voice of the Tier 7 mutated zombie rang out, just as it was on the verge of receiving a devastating attack from three different angles, its dark green eyes gleamed with an eerie brilliance, and in the next instant, its entire body twitched violently.

Alec watched in shock as the mutated zombie’s form blurred, its body vibrating at such an unnatural speed that it seemed to slip through the hundreds of web-like strings restraining it, and in a split second, it was free.

Three deafening bangs echoed through the battlefield.

A leg, a bladed arm, and a claw lashed out in three different directions, the next thing Alec knew, both he, Oni, and Tempest Butcher were sent hurtling backward from the location they came from, slamming into the ground hard.

Alec’s injury was the worst, the zombie’s bladed hand had carved a deep gash across his chest, leaving behind traces of toxic green flames that immediately sought to burrow into his wound.

    The zombie snickered, realizing that its attack had not only failed to kill Hive Queen it had also put it in a precarious position. As if she attempted to restrict its speed again with such an array formation , it might struggle to break free a second time.The Phase spell wasn’t something that could be used consecutively without a brief cool down, due to the immense strain it put on the caster’s body, those who hadn’t fully mastered it risked severe backlash if they used it consecutively, and that was exactly what troubled the agility-type zombie.Luckily for it, neither Alec nor his golems seemed aware of this critical weakness in its earlier spell, but even so, they weren’t about to let the zombie kill Hive Queen under any circumstances.“You pesky creation of mana...” the Type 3 zombie growled, glaring at Hunter, whose hooked left hand was still clamped tightly onto its bladed arm.The next second, a powerful force yanked it downward, as Hunter had summoned his own golem minion

    Ever since the battle began, Alec had been analyzing everything, testing his strength against the Tier 7 mutated zombie and understanding the gaps and advantages between them, but now, he felt he had learned enough.And It was time to go all out.He dashed forward, closing in on the Agility-type zombie, a move that caught the Mutated zombie completely off guard, as never in its wildest nightmares would it had imagined Alec would challenge it in a battle of speed.But it was happening, and reacting on instinct, the zombie tried to dash and meet Alec, but the moment it did, its right leg tightened Mid-motion, making it realise that the Hive Queen had made her move again.Snarling, the zombie turned its gaze toward her, only for the Hive Queen to screech defiantly back.It took every ounce of willpower for the mutated zombie not to abandon its orders and attack her instead, but this time, it had learned its lesson. Even though it couldn’t see the web strings due to the Hive Queen’s man

    “Ahhhhh!”The Type 3 Mental Zombie’s enraged scream was loud enough to jolt the still-dazed mages watching back to reality, they had all just witnessed Alec Gordon slay a Tier 7 mutated zombie, a feat that seemed almost unbelievable even though they had just witnessed it.Alec was still in the Tier 5 Mage Realm, yet he had just defeated a high-rank lifeform, even with the help of his golems, many onlookers struggled to comprehend what had just happened.“That guy… he—he actually slayed a Tier 7 mutated zombie, that’s a massive loss to the zombie army’s high-rank battle force…” Bryan Lanzt muttered, catching his breath now that he had successfully been able to position the Lanzt clan Tier 4 mages behind the Mid-Rank Gordon Mages, which means he could finally take a moment to process Alec’s battle.A few feet away, Alec pushed himself to his feet, wiping away the blood that still trickled from the corner of his mouth. But he didn’t care, as he could feel a refreshing sensation surging

    Alec already knew what he wanted, he had been saving up every available point he could get, never once bothering to use them, as he was waiting for the right moment, the moment he could push one of his three main stats past the 300 mark. Now, with enough points at his disposal, he had made his choice, and that was agility.“I already know what we’ll do! You all will reinforce the Tier 5 army of the Gordons clan, along the way, the rest of Legion and Titan Squad will join up with you,” Alec commanded, turning to Butcher, who had questioned him earlier.“What about you, Master? What will you do?” Hunter asked.“Me? I’ll be hunting down Tier 7 mutated zombies with Titan and Legion by my side, if I can take out the top generals and make that Type 3 mental zombie even more terrified, why waste time going after Tier 6 soldiers?” Alec replied as he instructed the system to allocate 53 points into his agility stat.[ Status Tab ]Name: Alec GordonsRace: Mid-Rank HumanLevel: 96Tier: 5 [Pea

    Alec might have dashed into the air first, but he wasn’t alone, a split second later, Titan and Legion followed, quickly catching up to him.The streaks of flames, ice, and jet propulsion cutting through the sky toward the high-rank battlefield left many watching in shock, no one could quite grasp Alec’s intentions.Below, Alec’s Tier 5 golems, along with those from Titan and Legion squads, surged forward to reinforce the Gordons’ mid-rank mages, increasing their Tier 5 numbers by a staggering twenty-six, the realization that Alec alone could provide the equivalent of twenty-six top-tier 5 realm combatants was a wake-up call for the other forces observing him for the first time. They were witnessing first-hand the rise of a mage who would soon earn the title One-Man Army.“Master sent me to deliver a message, he says you don’t have to hold back anymore, the battle is nearing its end, now is the time to unleash chaos.” Oni whispered stealthily beside Brandon.

    The two remaining zombies trembled as they stared at the mage before them, their instincts screamed at them to lunge forward, to sink their teeth into him, to obey the primal urge that drove all lower-level zombies toward the living.But unlike mindless undead, these two had evolved beyond mere hunger, at higher realms, certain zombies awakened consciousness and intelligence and with it, the fear of true death. Unlike their lower-tier counterparts, who threw themselves at prey without hesitation, these two understood that if they fell here, there would be no coming back, this was the difference between them and the normal undead skeletons that embrace with faith. Yet, hesitation would not save them, as Brandon had no intention of waiting.[> Mid-Tier Spell – Sand Prison <]Brandon’s fingers moved rapidly through a series of intricate hand signs, and the sand that had burst apart earlier from the sand cone spell now responded to his command, rising from the ground and wrapping aroun

  • The Golem Mage   Correction.

    NOTE: I made an error in the headcount of deaths, there have been eleven Tier 7 casualties on the Zombie side, I forgot to include the one Alec killed, as a result, one of the infected humans is facing only a single zombie instead. Apologies for the miscalculation.—The Mental-Type Zombie stood at a distance, now guarded only by the Peak Tier 7 Hunter-Type Zombie, it was still reeling from the shock of Alec slaying a Tier 7 mutated zombie.But now that it considered Alec’s rapid growth, it no longer felt secure with just the Hunter-Type Zombie protecting it. Common sense dictated that Alec shouldn’t be able to kill a Peak Tier 7 Hunter-Type Zombie, one of the strongest combatants on the battlefield. Yet something kept tugging at the back of its mind, making it uneasy. Mental-Type Zombies were prone to paranoia when things didn’t go their way, and with Alec being the reason its tactical strategy was falling apart, its judgment was growing more erratic.It didn’t even send another

  • The Golem Mage   Aura Pressure.

    Seeing Alec join the High-Rank battle, the Fourth and Third Elders of the Gordons clan could no longer afford to be lax, they grew more serious, their instincts urging them to move closer to him, so if something were to happen or if the Mental-type zombie devised a plan to target Alec, they would be within reach to support him.However, the zombies they faced were no fools, they too have received orders from the Mental Type Zombie and they wouldn’t allow the Gordons clan elders to break away so easily. The Peak Tier 7, Agility-type zombie was no longer the one on the desperate side; now, it was the Fourth Elder struggling to break free from the fighting, as the tide of battle kept shifting, the desperation passes back and forth between them.On the Third Elder’s side, the two Agility-type zombies avoided direct confrontation, fully aware they were no match for his power. They had observed his previous kills and were sticking to the Mental-type zombie’s orders, which was to wear hi

  • Final item 2.

    “How is that possible? We all know that the pill capable of curing the zombie virus can only be obtained from the royal palace itself, only the royal alchemist possesses the knowledge to create it, and even then, it’s said to be incredibly difficult to produce. ““That’s one of the reasons we rarely see it at all,” someone from the crowd exclaimed, sparking a wave of discussion among the mages, most still uncertain whether to believe Alec Gordon’s words.This time, Alistair couldn’t keep his composure, his mind was spinning as he tried to recall if there was any other way to contact the royal alchemists from the Capital city without a direct referral from the city hall, but he came up with nothing. That left only two possibilities: either the Gordons were involved in black market dealings with a Royal Alchemist in the capital, or they had a direct connection that allowed them to acquire rare items from there.Neither scenario sat well with him, as if it was the black market, it me

  • The Final Item.

    After two of the spirit equipment sets had been claimed by the Lanzt and Aegisborn clans, the competition for the remaining two rose to an entirely new level, of the last two, one stood out instantly—completely dark, as though it had swallowed the light around it. Its presence radiated an ominous charm, and the intricate craftsmanship made it clear this was no ordinary set.It was a four-piece spirit equipment set: a full body armour that extended to cover the hands like gloves, boots that reached the knees and merged seamlessly with the armour, a long, shadowy cape affixed to the back, and a broad sword as the final piece.This set was known as the Umbral Dread Regalia, and the bidding for it surged rapidly, led by the Darkbliss clan, who had long been waiting for something that matched their shadow affinity. The price escalated until it reached two hundred and thirty Tier 6 bodies, at which point no one dared to bid higher.With that, the Darkbliss clan finally secured a prize o

  • Auction 8.

    While many in the crowd were busy wondering why no bidding war had erupted over such a high-caliber Spirit equipment set, Alec only smiled, only the top clans and a few insightful mages in the audience had grasped what truly happened.Most of the clans hadn’t shown much interest in the Ivory Juggernaut Set simply because it lacked elemental affinity but was more biased towards Qi manipulation, making it a poor match for their mages. Alec had given a brief explanation to stir some enthusiasm, and while a few had indeed shown interest, they remained hesitant.The Aegisborn Patriarch, however, saw the armour as a perfect blessing, as its abilities seemed tailored to enhance his clan’s innate strengths, so when he noticed a few other Patriarchs preparing to bid, he acted swiftly, calling out a hundred Tier 6 bodies without hesitation. In truth, that was the full amount his clan had brought to the auction.His brother Orion had warned him not to allow too many parties to get swept up i

  • Auction 7.

    As Alec approached the stone pillar, he used his body to block the crowd’s view. Whispers and quiet conversations stirred as everyone waited for him to move aside, but Alec deliberately took his time. Eventually, he stepped away, revealing five pill bottles neatly arranged on top of the pillar, staring back at the eager crowd.“I’m glad to inform you all that we’ve reached the final round of today’s auction, and if you didn’t manage to acquire anything before the end of the auction, don’t worry there will be another opportunity in the next auction,” Alec said as he addressed the room once again. “I won’t bore you with talk about what’s to come, instead, let me introduce the final items of the night.”With that, Alec walked over to the spirit equipment set placed at the far right, the armour gleamed white with golden edges, seemingly lacking elemental affinity, but radiating a heavy flow of savage Qi. Alec ran his left hand along the smooth surface of the armour, which included

  • Auction 6.

    After the second round was won by the Lanzt clan, the previously bustling crowd fell silent again, waiting for the next big reveal.But Alec had already rolled out two rounds which were dominated by his own items, successfully building the excitement he had aimed for, now the crowd of mages was far too hooked to leave or get pissed if he brought out lesser items.At this point, Alec decided it was time to bring out the other items that didn’t belong to him, like the low-rank spirit armours crafted by the Gordons’ forgers who were still learning the art, although Alec didn’t want the Gordons mages using these armours themselves, it didn’t mean he thought they were useless, which was why he decided to auction them off on behalf of the mages who created them so they could at least get some joy seeing how sorted out their creation was.The way Alec structured it, they would collect magic crystals for these products, with the profits shared between the mages who forged them and the Gordon

  • Auction 5.

    Which was equivalent to at least another ten bodies if they were counting in Tier 5 terms; and now the pills’ value had reached the equivalent of twenty Tier 5 bodies which is the original realm Alec had placed the bid.As the two men stared toward each other’s booth, trying to anticipate each other’s next move and act as cautiously as possible, Alec stood with his hands behind his back, neither announcing nor acknowledging their bids.Everyone was so pumped about his heated bidding battle that the both Booth were probably the only ones being stared at, the crowd found the bidding battle far more interesting than expected, many realizing they even enjoyed watching such power plays.‘Yes! Fight! Bid and spend all your corpses here, in the end, I’ll still be the biggest winner, no matter how much you believe I’m taking a loss,’ Alec thought as he watched them close to breaking down, though he kept a nonchalant face, deep down he was almost jumping for joy seeing how much the pills were

  • Auction 4.

    “For the second round, I’ve prepared a batch of various items to speed things up,” Alec began as he walked towards the stone pillar and pulled off the black cloth that had been covering the items. “I have here three different items for the second round, and as you can see, there are three bottles, each holding cultivation pills, the first bottle contains ten Tier 3 cultivation pills.” “The second bottle holds another ten Tier 4 cultivation pills, while the third bottle contains five Tier 5 cultivation pills, and these three bottles will not be sold separately but as a joint sale, and the starting bid is six Tier 5 bodies.” Alec finally concluded his introduction of the second item, which happened to be a bundled sale, after his statement about the contents of the three pill bottles, the entire auction house fell silent. The breaths of many inside hitched as they could hardly believe their eyes, all this while, when they wanted to cultivate, they had relied on power stones harveste

  • Auction 3.

    The second female mage who had moved backstage earlier now rolled out another table, this time two tables interlocked together to prevent them from separating, one of the tables was empty, while the other was covered in a dark cloth, immediately making many in the crowd realize that was the second item of the day hidden beneath it.As the female mages reached the center, she and the first lady who had remained on stage with Alec began transferring the newly purchased armour, won by the black-clothed man onto the empty table. Once they were done, they placed the new item on the new empty stone pillar.Afterward, the first lady rolled the armour offstage while the crowd waited eagerly for the unveiling of the second item.“Well, in this situation, I’ll go straight to the point and not keep you all in suspense,” Alec said as he started walking toward the stone pillar. However, despite his words, there were many in the crowd who didn’t believe him.Because as he was observing some peop

  • Auction 2.

    While those interested in the armour were prepared and waiting for Alec to declare the starting bid, the others, who had no intention of bidding couldn’t help letting their imaginations run wild. As they felt If the opening item was already of mid-tier caliber, what else could possibly be in store?, Many silently prayed that something matching their desires would appear next so they could make use of the corpses they had brought in their space rings.As murmurs of speculation filled the hall, Alec stood calmly, a knowing smile on his face as he observed their expressions. This was all part of his plan, starting strong with a high-tier item to set the tone, even if the next few items didn’t match the first in quality, the excitement would remain. As the crowd had already been made to believe that treasures awaited them, and that momentum alone would keep their spirits high, as the eagerly awaited what’s next.This was the power of first impressions, and Alec knew how to wield it
