The Golem Mage

Titan's strength.

"Move to the south gate quickly,"

the Patriarch instructed as the clan members closed in on the central gate.

The Gordons Clan members made a slight turn and hurried over, even Alec was surprised to see his grandfather waiting there for them.

Up until now, Alec hadn't realized that he wasn't the one leading the charge when they left the family compound.

But now, as he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that the old man must have been in a meeting with the City Lord and other powerful family leaders in the city,

And It seems they must have agreed upon having the Gordon family protecting the weaker South gate.

The Gordon family members arrived at the gate swiftly, climbing up and spreading around the walls to cover any gaps, ensuring that the zombies wouldn't exploit any openings.

They allowed the younger generation of the Gordon family to stay behind, watching their backs as they fought off the zombies.

The patriarch levitated in the air, observing, as some of the higher-ranking family members gave orders, He wasn't ready to interfere just yet.

As Alec looked ahead, he noticed a cloud of dust obscuring his vision, After a few minutes, the dust cleared, revealing a massive horde of zombies running toward the city gates .

A wave of fear washed over Alec as he had never seen so many zombies gathered in one place before, This was his first encounter with a zombie attack on a city.

Until now, their family had always been protected, shielded from such threats, But now, as they stepped onto the path of the mage, the responsibility of protecting the clan fell on their shoulders too.

When Alec glanced around, he saw that most of the younger generation children were trembling in fear, It was also their first time witnessing the horrifying faces of the zombies.

No matter how much they had been taught, it was still not enough to prepare them for the sight of these slow yet dreadfully menacing creatures, tainted by another dimension.

Alec steeled his resolve, reminding himself that as the leader of the younger generation, he couldn't afford to cower in fear when they were at war.

He pondered on how to motivate the younger generation and boost their decreasing morale.

Then, he recalled that acting like a showman and showcasing his strength would do the trick, After all, strength was highly respected in this world.

Tapping on his space pouch, he summoned his eight golems, with Titan standing proudly in the front.

"There's no need to despair, All we have to do is keep crushing their heads, just as we've been taught in our lessons," Alec declared.

"We are warriors of the Gordons clan!, These puny zombies won't be able to stop our charge!, ATTACK!"

he shouted at the top of his lungs, igniting a surge of enthusiasm among the members of the Gordons clan as he realised that the zombies were already close to reaching there line of defence, Even the older generation was impressed by his passionate speech.

"For the clan!" Alec exclaimed.

"For the clan!" echoed the rest of the clan members around him.

It didn't take long for the zombies to reach the walls, climbing through the cracks, However, the Gordons family wasn't just there to watch them climb without taking any action.

Those skilled in archery started raining down arrows on the zombies, not concerning themselves too much with precise aim.

There were too many zombies to completely intimidate them, as they knew no fear, pain, or fatigue.

"Here they come! Archers, fall back and assist the warriors!"

the patriarch commanded, acting as the commander from where he stood.

The archers quickly moved back, allowing those armed with weapons and trained in battle mage parth to step forward.

One of the clan members shouted as he activated a magic spell with his Tier 1 mana, causing particles of earth elements to form gloves on his hands.

With a powerful punch, he obliterated the head of an unlucky zombie attempting to climb up.

Similar scenes unfolded all along the walls, Even those wielding weapons had Tier 1 Magic Rock Armor protecting their bodies, allowing them to attack without hesitation while shielding themselves from any zombie strikes.

Things were going well for them, until a tier one zombie managed to burst out and leap over the other unclassified zombies that were being slaughtered.

Using its fallen comrades as a makeshift ladder, it jumped high enough to evade the warriors and headed straight for the archers at the back, who were assisting the younger generations of the Gordons family.

The Tier 1 zombie, known as a Speed Demon, had blue skin and sharp fangs, with long claws, It's red eyes glowed, and drool fell from its mouth.

It possessed a special trait of incredible speed, catching the warriors off guard with its timely jump.

"Shit, that's a Tier one Zombie Speed Demon!, How the hell did they let it slip through?, It's a known assassin of the zombie race," one of the archers exclaimed.

As soon as Alec heard this, he sent a command to Titan to intercept the zombie and protect the archers.

He realized that none of the archers were as strong as the battle path mages, leaving the seven level zero golems around him as additional defense.

If any zombie attacked him, at least he would have a meat shield to support him until reinforcements arrived or until he could eliminate the zombie himself.

As the claws of the Tier 1 speed demon aimed to strike the nearest archer, it was met with the presence of a sturdy stone shield.

The shield, provided by Titan, clashed with the speed demon's claws, sending tremors back to the zombie's hands.

The shield was thick, as Alec had been tempering the rare golem with earth elements while practicing his golems experiment.

The zombie took two steps back, acknowledging it's defeat in the strength battle against Titan.

However, that was its fatal mistake, What happened next not only surprised the zombie, but everyone on the south wall.

A spiky mace descended on the head of the speed demon zombie, crushing its brain and splattering its juices everywhere.

[Ding!]

[50 exp points gained,10 system points gained]

Even Alec was surprised by the quick battle reaction of his rare golem, He had created other level 0 golems and had them fight, but their performance had never been up to par.

He couldn't help but feel that Titan possessed a higher level of intelligence, being a rare golem, He now realized how wrong he had been.

Not only were the clan members shocked, but they became even more astonished as they witnessed Titan throw it's spiky mace immediately after killing the first speed demon , deeply embedding it in the neck of another Speed Demon.

This particular Speed Demon had been on the verge of clawing at the neck of a member of the Gordons Clan who had looked shocked.

[ 54 experience point gained, 10 system point gained]

Now, the family could rest assured that this golem could be compared to the battle prowess of the clan's veteran Tier 1 mages.

With just two simple strikes, it had successfully eliminated significant threats that could have resulted in the loss of lives.
