The Golem Mage

The atmosphere in the Grand Hall of the Gordons clan is charged with anticipation as every clan member’s attention is being drawn .

Gasps fill the air as the Grand Elder, the esteemed figure second only to the Patriarch of the Gordons clan, defies gravity, levitating high above the ground in front of everyone.

Beside him, the Patriarch also hovers, his katana tightly gripped in his hand, prepared to ward off any potential disruptors, ensuring the Grand Elder’s breakthrough proceeds undisturbed, the different earth elements particles in the air circulating around him forming some type of earth ring

As the Grand Elder continues to rise, the very environment trembles and quakes, a direct response to his ascension, The heavens started unleashing thunder tribulations, attempting to halt his progress, but determination shines in the Grand Elder’s eyes.

A mysterious phantom image of a siren slowly materializes behind him, ethereal and captivating, Its presence serves as a symbol of strength and guidance for the Grand Elder, it was his second awaken special ability allowing him to cast sound type skills as The ancient Siren race behind him, that seems to have gone extinct

With an unwavering focus, he harnesses the power of sound and also utilised some earth element spells to shield himself from the thunderous assault.

Waves of sound magic deflect the thunderbolts that was about to hit him creating a harmonious symphony of defiance and determination.

Even if he was facing such hardship the Patriarch never moved once to support him as this was his trial and only him was allowed to face it himself, as only after he passed the tribulation would he be able to become a Tier 7 Mage

The Patriarch’s main mission was only to protect him against anyone with evil intent that would want to move against them again.

Seven rounds of thunder tribulations crash upon the Grand Elder, each round with different colors and waves, challenging his will in a dazzling display of power.

He stands resolute, undeterred by the colorful and ferocious storms that assault him.

Amidst the onslaught, the final and seventh thunderbolt, deep blue in color, roars towards the Grand Elder, and even the Grand elder could feel that it had a type of connection with his newly awaken ability, With a surge of energy, he summons every ounce of his strength, redirecting the thunderous force with his sound magic, shattering it into fragments of light as the light fragments merged with his body

Finally, breaking free from the relentless tribulations, the Grand Elder descends gracefully to the ground, the phantom image of the siren behind him morphs and solidifies, becoming more vibrant, more alive, a testament to the power he has earned.

Taking a moment to catch his breath, the Grand Elder assesses the changes in his body, A surge of newfound energy courses through his veins, his senses heightened and attuned to the essence of magic itself, as he felt he became more closer to the essence of magic.

The once ethereal phantom image of the siren remains behind him, now a tangible entity, radiating power and grace, It stands as a testament to the Grand Elder’s incredible achievement and the strength of his spirit, though it had a sweet smile on it’s face now but the Elder’s of the clan who had seen it’s real appearance when it gets angry where sure it was still a two faced creature .

Though he had not been able to summon the creature properly before but the image have been forming behind him for a while since he was so close to becoming a Tier 7 Mage.

The clan members who have witnessed this extraordinary breakthrough were in awe, their eyes filled with admiration and reverence.

With a smile of satisfaction, the Grand Elder turns to face the Patriarch, he nodded to show his gratitude, and The Patriarch reciprocates with a proud nod of his own

acknowledging his brother’s incredible feat, The bond between them, a testament to the unity and support within the Gordons clan.

”Grand Elder, congratulations on your remarkable achievement, Your strength and perseverance inspire us all, I guess if there is anything we need we would have to rely on you for now” Alec quickly found his way to the front of the Grand Elder

The moment the Grand Elder heard the words of his brother’s shameless grandson he could feel his lips twitching, and his heighten senses where giving him a triggering feeling as if there was nothing good that would come out from staying closer to Alec for long

But no matter what The Grand Elder’s gaze still softens as he looks at Alec , as he tried his best to look sincere as possible.

” how about this since you just breakthrough, do a show of strength and go hunt your grandson a couple of Tier 7 demonic beast crystals for experiments! ”

Grand Elder : ”...”

Alec said with a very excited expression on his face, Though the rest of the elders saw Alec trying to outsmart the grand Elder but they all decided to stay out of it

The both men all behave like two scheming old fox and probably fit each other properly

” the fu*k..., pardon my manners but what do you mean hunt a couple of Tier 7 demonic beast, are you blind...

, pardon me again but I just stepped into the Tier 7 Mage realm, do you think am invincible?, it won’t take alot of efforts for those beast that have incredible foundation to smack the hell out of me a countless times not to add they always have such a robust physique and are really hard to kill ”

” such responsibility should fall on your Grand father’s shoulder, he’s more of the damage dealer and I am more of a control type of fighter, and I still don’t have a grandson. ”

Alec just pouted after he realised the grand elder shameless way of writing him off and trying to push this to the Patriarch, Alec was never gonna give up, his grandfather was still grieving trying to shop for benefits from him now might really risky, so he turned to the Grand Elder who needed his face now.

” what do you mean you don’t have a grandson, the grandson of your brother is your grandson also! ”

” grand elder : ”¬”

” Well about a couple of Tier 6 demonic beast crystal? ^_^. ”

The grand elder was having a hard time dealing with someone as shameless as him, every other clan member don’t even bother to argue with him that much and we’re quick to cave in but this younger blood was not giving him any face and he needed to drop some goodies so he doesn’t lose any face now he just breakthrough

He deeped his hand in his space pouch and removed two huge demonic beast power crystal and threw them to Alec which he gladly caught, and laughed like a maniac before dashing out of the area while thanking the grand elder, he was not ready to stay long there cause he already got what he wanted.

The Grand Elder seriously was close to spanking Alec just now but he restrained himself since he was in public, he felt that he have been scammed, he could not understand how he had just given a junior such valuable resources just so he could keep some face since he just broke through

Just as he looked around the crowd and he saw the eyes they were using to look at him, his body trembled

’ that boy Alec have set a bad example again for the youth of the clan, I better get out of here’

The grand elder wasted no much time as he materialise a sound note under his feet and stamping on it, as he was pushed to the air and quickly escaped

The elders and the Patriarch laughed cheerful for the first time after the third elder incident when they saw the Grand Elder losing to a kid today

” you raised a good kid George!”

The first elder complimented as he touched his beard with one hand and the other hand behind him as he was acting like some sort of immortal

” I am proud!” the Patriarch replied
