“You’d better not even think about sending someone else up here to face me, because I’ll tear anyone you send into shreds. Unless you’re planning on having one of your precious teammates suffer an injury that could impact their cultivation journey, I suggest you step onto this stage right now,” Dragov said, locking eyes with Alec.

He was trying to play the emotional game, trying to force Alec on stage since he knew how much Alec cared for his team mates, something Dragov saw as a sign of weakness.

“Seriously, is that what you have to resort to just to get me on stage? We could simply forfeit this match and give you the win without sending anyone up. It would still count as your victory, which means you’d have wasted your chance,” Alec replied with a small smile, shaking his head in disbelief at how Dragov could appear so composed and innocent while harbouring such a twisted mind-set.

As soon as Dragov heard Alec’s words, his expression changed instantly.

He turned to the referee, h

    With his increased power, Dragov wasted no time and dashed toward Alec, this sudden move snapped Alec out of his relaxed demeanour, forcing him to act swiftly. Alec pulled his right hand from his pocket and quickly cast three layers of earth shields, each reinforced with a repulsive gravity effect, stacking them in front of himself as a defensive barrier. However, Dragov was unfazed by this move, and after closing the distance in an instant, he swung his massive, weighted sword at the shields. The moment the blade struck, cracks spiderwebbed across the first earth shield. In a split second, Dragov shattered the first shield and then the second and by the time his sword collided with the third shield, Alec had already reversed the gravity repulsion spell, redirecting its force outward to himself when he saw the effort to bounce Dragov back as ineffective. When Dragov’s sword hit the final shield, the combined gravitational force sent Alec hurtling backward. He quickly dug h

    Dragov pushed himself off the debris he had created upon being slammed into the ground. He raised his gaze to Alec and Titan, who stood side by side, with Titan resting his hand on his massive mace that was resting on the stage ground, while Alec swung his Changdao as he walked.Feeling a liquid substance covering his face, Dragov used his right palm to wipe it away, only to realize it was his blood, this brought him a slight shock. The Azure dragon scales he so proudly wore had been pierced, and blood was seeping from the wound. He could hardly believe there was another mage capable of matching him in his second-stage transformation while still being a Tier 5 Mage.Though Alec had the assistance of his golem, Titan, who is a Tier 6 golem, but Dragov considered Titan merely an extension of Alec’s powers. But Dragov was not the type to be easily intimidated by a challenge, especially one that had pushed him so far that he was bleeding.Alec stared at Dragov in surprise as he sa

    Alec stood watching as Dragov’s body increased in height once more, but this time, it wasn’t just his stature that was changing; his aura had surged all the way to the Mid Tier 6 realm. But Dragov wasn’t finished yet, a massive pair of dragon wings extended from his back, and his two front dragon horns grew slightly longer with them curving backward a little.“Now we shall continue from where we left off,” Dragov said, locking his gaze onto Alec.“Why does everyone from the Bloodline Academy talk so much? Let’s just fight it out!” Alec replied, dashing forward. Beside him, Titan moved in front, manifesting a long rectangular shield on his arm to take the lead against the now-taller Dragov.“Come!” Dragov shouted as he drew his fist back, channelling Qi energy into it, a dragon fist image materialized around his hand, enveloping it as he punched toward Titan. Titan raised his shield to defend against the attack.The moment Dragov’s punch landed on the shield, the entire crowd fell

    “Give up and surrender; there’s no way you could ever defeat me,” Dragov declared, finally recovering from the shock of Alec possessing a specialized spirit equipment set made just for him. He wasn’t overly concerned about that; he was confident in his victory over Alec. His self assurance stemmed from the fact that his dragon scales provided protection on par with Tier 5 spirit equipment, and it was specifically tailored to his bloodline, in that regard, Alec was merely matching him by donning his Infernal Mantle Set. Furthermore, Dragov was emanating a Mid Tier 6 aura, while Alec was still a low Tier 5 mage. Despite this, Alec didn’t feel like he was battling someone of that caliber. Dragov was a genius, exceeding all expectations, capable of fighting above his rank, even though he projected a Mid Tier 6 aura, his battle prowess was dangerously close to that of a Tier 7 mage. Though he lacked the mental abilities tied to creating a domain that normal Tier 7 have but was

    After dissolving the second Katana blade, Alec didn’t stop there; instead, he conjured a one handed battle axe in his left hand, almost immediately, a system notification appeared. [> Equipped with an Axe-type weapon; Second Seal effects activated] [Axe Mastery: Intermediate Level 1] -Strength increased by 30%As soon as the axe materialized, Alec felt a slight surge in his strength, coupled with the weapon damage bonus he received from wielding blade-type weapons, he felt invincible. And that confidence surged even further as he sensed Dragov encroaching on the mana zone he had established around himself.“Die!” Dragov roared, swinging his great sword down toward Alec, but to Dragov’s surprise, Alec did not step back or retreat as he normally would; instead, he stepped forward to clash against him, rotating the axe in front of him.Alec expertly hooked the large sword with the axe’s hinge, temporarily neutralizing the weapon and drawing Dragov closer before thrusting his blade

    The attacks from both Dragov and Alec finally clashed, illuminating the battle stage with their distinct lights. Alec’s side glowed with a fierce bloodlust, accompanied by his blazing black and red flames that seemed to merge together, while Dragov’s side radiated an azure light that blended with the vibrant green of his mutated wind element, creating a storm of chaos in the air.Energy levels surged as the friction between them sparked bursts of electricity, the protective light shield around the arena trembled violently, prompting several High Tier rank mages on standby to appear from various angles and channel their mana to contain the destructive shockwave generated by their combined energy inside the light shield.Bang! After about thirty seconds of struggle, both combatants were sent sprawling backwards by the explosion of their attacks. Alec twisted mid-air, soaring off the light shield before repositioning himself to land in the center of the stadium.The resounding impact of

    # Estonia CityThe forces that had gathered to defend Estonia city were struggling against the zombies, though the city guards were accustomed to dealing with zombie threats, but due to the lack of competence from the supporting clans had turned the situation into a massacre. With each fallen or infected mage, the tide shifted further against them, as those who had fallen rose to fight against their former allies, a true nightmare for the defenders of Estonia City.Having lost more than half their forces in the low rank battlefield merely two hours into the battle, the fate of Estonia City was looking increasingly grim. In the Tier 7 battle, twenty unique type Tier 7 zombies faced off against twenty human mages, while the patriarch of the Darkbliss clan stood back, refusing to join the fray. The reason for his inaction was the peak Tier 7 Agility Type zombie, which closely monitored him, as if warning him not to interfere, if not it would also retaliate against him if he dared. Of

Due to his heightened senses he was able to detect the danger of the descending beam long before anyone else, since it was aimed directly at his position. All this was largely possible due to the steady growth of his mental stats, as Alec noticed the impending attack, he didn’t even hesitate, as he casted a large earthen dome that shielded not only himself but also his nearby teammates that had joined him in celebration . Even though new notifications flooded his system after he had defeated Dragov, he totally paid no attention to them; as an Abyss invasion was unfolding before him. His body was gradually healing as h

  • Advanced Business Scheme.

    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

  • It Comes To An End.

    After the incident with the Lanzt Clan’s Grand Elder being cured, Alec had been able to successfully assure each mages present that the Undead Purge pills truly worked against zombie Virus.Inside the five different bottles were Tier 1 to Tier 5 Undead Purge Pills, the Tier 1 bottle alone contained fifty pills. Though many clans were eager to bid, but Alec clearly stated that only clans with Tier 1-infected members still alive were eligible to participate. Those hoping to hoard the pills for the next Blood Moon War lost their chance like that, eventually, the bottle was sold in exchange for ten Tier 2 corpses.Alec even went as far as to say that if the winning clan cured their members and still had pills left, they were free to resell them to help other infected clans, however, he made it clear that he wouldn’t tolerate price gouging or exploitation.To prevent that, Alec set a fixed market price: ten thousand magic crystals for five Tier 1 Undead Purge Pills. The winning clan

  • New Status.

    But everything was happening so fast, the crowd watched in awe as a golden-coloured pill appeared in Alec’s hand, and he extended it toward Bailey Lanzt, it was obvious to many that Alec had just pulled it from his space ring, prompting a few to glance toward the fifth VIP booth.Their eyes locked onto the Gordons Patriarch, though no one said a word, But George could clearly read the unspoken message behind their stares:“How could you leave such a priceless treasure in the hands of your grandson? Look, he’s about to hand it to that smelly old man!”What they didn’t realize, however, was that even George himself had never seen such a pill of that realm before, just like them all, It was also his first time laying eyes on a Tier 7 healing pill, and the jealousy brewing inside him could have made him explode. He had this itch to rush down and snatch the pill from Alec’s hand, and lock it away forever in the Gordons Clan treasury, so it would never see the light of day again.But he

  • It Worked?

    Everyone had their eyes fixed on Bailey after he swallowed the pill, each person eager to witness what would truly happen to him, many in the room were genuinely hoping that, for the city’s future and its chances against the zombie horde, the cure would prove effective.However, there were a few, like the Raisa Clan who silently wished for the opposite, with all the recent success the Gordons Clan had enjoyed, from their pivotal role in the Blood Moon battle to the overwhelming impact of this auction, clans like theirs were desperate to see the Gordons fail at something—anything—that would drag their name through the mud for once.It stung that the Gordons were thriving even while other clans were still struggling to recover from the losses of the Blood Moon war during previous months’ battle, and naturally, this only intensified the resentment of those clans who had never been on good terms with the Gordons to begin with.Though Alec couldn’t read minds, he had a strong sense of wha

  • Handling Matters The Gentleman Way.

    Bang!A sharp sonic blast erupted, sending shockwaves rippling in all directions as the mage Alec had just scolded launched himself toward the stage, his right hand was outstretched, aiming for the five pill bottles placed atop the stone pillar. The move had been so sudden and explosive that those nearby couldn’t react in time.The newly appointed Patriarch of the Raiza Clan stood abruptly, ready to attack along with the high rank Mage as this was such a rare chance for disruption, but then he noticed something strange, the Gordons hadn’t moved. Not the side guards Alec had positioned around, nor the two female mages beside Alec at the top of the stage, even Alec himself just stared blankly making the Raisa Patriarch suspicious. From the corner of his eye, he could see that none of them so much as flinched, it was almost as if… they were waiting for this.The high-rank mage, unaware of the danger, let a smirk curl across his lips. His special ability is temporary invisibility,

  • 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
