The Golem Mage

Chapter 24  Small Breakthrough

It has been five days since the small horde attack at the City gate occurred, and the whole city has returned to a state of peace as if the attack never happened in the first place.

However, the families and clan of the mages in the city can't stop talking about the details of the attack.

Everyone were well aware that the Gordon's Clan outperformed the other families, clans and was rewarded the highest prize for their participation in the hunt.

The hunt was initially organized as an exercise for the younger generations of the families, and clans as they believed the horde posed no significant threat.

But now, due to entrusting the younger generations with this task, two big secrets have been revealed.

First, it is widely gossiped that the Gordon's family's young master is a rare genius, a talent not seen in a thousand years.

People talk about how he was able to kill a Peak-Tier 1 zombie without even a scratch and how he already possesses two well known Tier 1 golems,

making him one of the most formidable Jumior mage in the city.

Rumors spread that no one can defeat him I the same realm, as his spear techniques are exceptional.

While many people remain skeptical, some of the younger generations from prominent clans still pay visits to the Lanzt family to gauge just how strong the Gordon's family's younger generation truly is. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, they were all taken aback when Bryan Lanzt, the supposed leader of the Lanzt younger generation, warned them, saying,

"Do not mess with the Gordon's younger generation, They have a monster in human skin."

Despite this warning, many young masters from different families and clans still pushed the cautionary words to the back of their minds.

They were genuinely curious to gauge Alec's strength.

Some even sent challenge invitations, only to be rejected by the Gordons clan, stating that Alec was in seclusion and would not be disturbed for trivial fights.

This rejection infuriated the group of young masters who sought to defeat Alec in order to gain fame and honor as the ones who took down the city's young hero.

But the second secret was an even more shocking revelation.

When they heard that the patriarch of the Gordons clan now possessed a tier 7 golem,

it attracted the attention of all the jealous and plotting families in the city, as their evil intentions grew stronger.

Even those who competed with them before all went low-key, as they were not interested in attracting the attention of the Gordons Clan at the moment.

"It seems like the Gordons Clan is on the rise now, We must be careful not to offend them," whispered one person.

"Definitely Alec is someone that assassins would have been sent after by now considering his talent, but the fact that his grandfather is a tier 7 has made all the assassins afraid to even make a move against Alec," another person remarked.

"Right now, I guess we'll never know the truth about his powers until the next blood moon, which is coming in the next few weeks," someone pondered.

The people in the streets gossiped fervently about the Gordons Clan's increasing power, while others decided to wait until the next blood moon to witness their true abilities.

Meanwhile, the whole Gordons Clan was on lockdown, refusing to respond to the countless questions from the curious city inhabitants.

"Hey boss, I've come, just as I promised," Arthur said,

stepping into Alec's courtyard, He was taken aback to find Alec meditating near the pond in the middle of the courtyard, with Titan and Legion standing on his right and left side, respectively.

A wave of excitement rushed over Arthur as he wanted to express his gratitude to Alec for being such a valuable investment.

However, the intense gaze from Titan and Legion served as a reminder that any unnecessary movements would not be beneficial.

So, he sat down and crossed his legs, patiently awaiting Alec's return from his trance.

also sitting down and crossing his legs into a meditative state.

Finally, Alec opened his eyes, revealing a small smile that appeared at the corners of his lips. Without holding back a beat, he released his full aura, screaming towards the sky.

As he sat there, someone else entered the courtyard.

Arthur turned to see the unexpected guest, Brandon.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Arthur exclaimed.

"The same reason you're here, as well," Brandon replied calmly,

also sitting down and crossing his legs into a meditative state.

Finally, Alec opened his eyes, revealing a small smile that appeared at the corners of his lips. Without holding back a beat, he released his full aura, screaming towards the sky.

"Arrrghhhhh!"

Feeling the overwhelming aura, Arthur and Brandon quickly stood up, startled by its suppressing power.

"I can't believe it, He has already advanced to the (Mid) Tier 1 mage realm," Arthur blurted out in shock.

"I always had a feeling that he was close to reaching the (Mid) Tier 1 Realm already. It's no surprise that he advanced so easily, considering his impressive martial prowess,"

Brandon commented, seeking affirmation from Arthur who was Still mesmerized by the scene unfolding before him, Arthur could only nod in agreement.

"I can't wait for the banquet, This time, we can exude our arrogance, while those mage clans with other Path and battle mage clans watch in awe," Arthur exclaimed, his excitement palpable.

Eager to assess his newfound strength, Alec quickly summoned the system to display his updated status.

The fact that all his basic attributes had increased by five points, without using his attribute points, surprised Alec.

It felt like the equivalent of five normal level-ups.

He could feel the raw power coursing through his veins as he clenched his fist, fantasizing about testing his newfound strength.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough, boss," Arthur eagerly congratulated, positioning himself as a loyal supporter.

Realizing he was a step behind, Brandon quickly joined in, saying, "Congratulations, Boss,"

although he had noticed Arthur's promptness, It was already too late, as Arthur had been the first to extend his congratulations.

Alec's eyes widened in astonishment when he saw the significant increase in his mana pool.

"Why do I have such a large mana pool?" Alec questioned the system In his mind.

[ X : For starters, as the system's host and the heir to a legacy, your mana has slightly improved above the normal range. However, what truly caused your abnormal mana levels is your excessive abuse of mana for experimenting on your golems.]

Alec couldn't help but laugh at the system's sarcastic voice.

"I guess some things just don't change," Alec said when he realized the system was deducting mana from him.

His eyes squinted when he noticed it was 20 mana more than the last time.

"And when did answering questions cost 40 mana?" Alec questioned the system in annoyance, momentarily forgetting that he had two people still waiting for him.

Simple, you advance, so the system advances with you.

This means it can provide more proper answers and talk for a few more seconds, but at a price ^o^, the system replied.

"What the fu*k!"

Alec was about to question the system again when he realized he was being played into a trap by the deceitful system.

"Hmmp, you're not getting what you want,"

Alec snorted, deciding to ignore the system for now.

He had many questions but wasn't ready to give the smug system the satisfaction it wanted.

Alec turned his head and looked at Arthur and Brandon, who were waiting for him.

However, the same couldn't be said for his two clansmen, who felt as though they were being watched by a beast that could devour them at any moment.

Their conviction of coming there more was resolved.

"What do both of you want?" Alec asked them.

"To become stronger!" they both blurted out at the same time.

"The power stones that were given to us after the last battle have been used up for cultivation , and we can already feel that we are close to the ( Mid) Tier 1 mage realm," Arthur was quick to explained.

"But we actually want something more, We want to be strong enough to follow behind you, not just behind you and your golems," Arthur said, sounding a bit confused about what he really wanted.

Alec couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I understand what you're trying to say, It must have been pretty embarrassing for both of you to be weaker than my main golems, but I think you'll have to bury those feelings."

"I'm glad you came to meet me, I'm sure you and Brandon came after hearing that Agnes and Night were undergoing special training, But mind you, I have no special training to offer."

" I only have a hellish training plan. Are you ready for it?" Alec asked with a smile on his face, though it didn't quite look like a smile at that moment.

"Yes, we would gladly train under you," they replied.

"Thanks for accepting us, boss!" they both expressed their gratitude.

"No need for thanks. Now, Titan, put them into shape fast," Alec ordered as he walked away.

"Try to survive one minute with Titan. I'll be back!" Alec snickered when he realized they were underestimating Titan.

He checked Titan's stats again before shaking his head.

"They are screwed if they have to fight that monster I created as he had leveled up."

[ Earth Golem ]

Level: 6 [can be upgraded (62/1000)]

Even though Titan was not an elite golem with Teenage intelligence, it was now as strong as Legion when it broke through to the (Mid) Tier 1 realm with its various skills.

It could probably wipe the floor with that ( Peak) Tier 1 zombie Alec had Legion face when it was just level 1.
