The Golem Mage

Alec Gordon, sat surrounded by all type of different materials and resources he had acquired, His mind raced with thoughts and strategies on his next step, Just as he was about to take a break and catch his breath, a voice resounded in his mind.

[ × : Congratulations, Alec! You successfully managed to scam two Tier 6 demonic beast Power crystals away from the Grand Elder, quite the achievement, if I may say so myself.]

Alec couldn’t help but smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment at his recent exploits.

He took a moment to appreciate the rarity and value of the crystals he managed to acquire, However, his joy quickly turned into an argument when the system made an unexpected request.

”Well, I must admit, it was quite a challenge, But hold on a minute there, system I am not sure I like where this is going, What’s with this sudden request?”

[ × : ”Oh, come on, Alec! Hear me out, I have this brilliant idea. Let’s use one of those powerful Tier 6 demonic beast Power crystals to create that golem body for me, just add a little rune drawing and Just imagine the possibilities!]

Alec raised an eyebrow, contemplating the seemingly outrageous proposition made by what he have come to know as the system spirit, While he trusted the system spirit and appreciated its assistance during all the time he had been using the system , Alec was still not too keen on giving away such a valuable crystal, even if it meant enhancing the system capabilities.

”Hmm, I understand your enthusiasm, but those crystals are extremely rare, and we could put them to better use. Besides, I’ve grown fond of our camaraderie, Do we really need to create a golem shell for you?”

[ ×: ”¬” is not like am running away it’s just a split consciousness that would be inside]

[ x : oh, Alec, I must admit, I never expected you to be so possessive over these crystals, But think about it – with a stronger physical presence, I could assist you during battles, protect you when necessary, and even take on some tasks independently, It would be a win-win situation as I would be finally getting my upgrade]

The system’s persuasive tone managed to sway Alec’s initial resistance, He couldn’t deny the advantages the golem shell could bring, but it still tugged at his heartstrings, almost like a betrayal.

” Fine, fine! You win, But I must say, I’m doing this reluctantly, Those crystals are precious, and parting with one feels like a personal loss to me.”

” But if it means enhancing our efficiency and ensuring our success, I suppose I can make an exception.”

The system spirit let out a cheerful laugh, sensing Alec’s bittersweet acceptance, It knew how hard it was for him to let go of something valuable, even if it was just an inanimate object.

Another week passed by and the whole Clan has been made aware that the younger generation and the others would be returning to the mages academy

While the younger generation would just be enrolling, and the one leading them this time is the fourth elder,

the group of elite young mages gathered at the clan gates, anticipation filled the air.

The First to arrive among the gang was Brandon Gordons, as he carried his dual slaughter saber and his Tranquility sword, He exuded confidence as he approached, his blades polished and gleaming.

His presence alone commanded attention, and the other mages couldn’t help but marvel at his unmatched presence.

Next came Agnes, adorned in her magnificent magical robes, with Knight walking alongside her, his imposing figure adding to their formidable duo.

Agne’s was giving out an aura of wisdom and power, and the other mages respected her greatly after her performance in the last war, cause clearly her barrier saved alot of lives.

Arthur’s arrival was met with surprise as a golden glow enveloped his body, it was because he had started the cultivation of forging bones, the others watched in awe as he confessed to breaking through to the Tier 2 Mage realm.

But they were all quick to throw a bucket of cold water on him as they all announced there breakthrough too because of his bragging and they started discussing about which spell runes they were able to create as they entered the Tier 2 Mage realm

Just when the group thought they had seen it all, their attention shifted towards Alec, the previous leader of the Tier 1 mages in the Blood Moon war

He appeared somewhat disheveled, and had this bright gleam in his eyes However, it was the presence of a new golem by his side that drew their focus, This golem, resembled the formidable executioner with its full iron body and a conspicuous power crystal embedded in its chest that seemed to absorb mana.

The group fell into silence, their gaze fixed on Alec and the golem

” is this a new Golem or one of your golem with an upgrade?” Arthur questioned

” ohhh it’s a new one and it’s called S2, I see that every one is prepared for the journey, I would be in all of you care”

” stop kidding though we can’t feel your aura, but you got to the peak of Tier 1 before us and with all the weeks you had alone there is no way you are not a Tier 2 Mage already” Agnes said with a smile

” OK, OK! You’ve gat me but I am not lieing when I said I would be in your care cause all of you seem to have gotten stronger mysteriously”

X : well don’t listen to what he says, you all are still trash when compared to him, I see you Agnes have only been able to form your water element rune which mean even your innate element earth have now become a supporting element, I think I know why you did it cause you feel it would be easier to raise the earth element when you have enough Foundation trust me it would be much more harder.

The whole gang looked at the iron golem that have just spoken in a metallic voice that didn’t sound neither male or female but the most surprising thing was the intelligence the golem showed

” The fuxk is this Boss, how were you able to create something soo intelligent, why do you get all the fun, my bronze Golem never talks and only follows me around when I summon it, it’s like someone who mirrors my movement and do all I do except we are in battle mode ” Arthur quickly complained as he expressed his jealousy

While Alec smiled nervously and chatted with the system spirit in his mind, as only a portion of the spirit system split consciousness was inserted in the golem

Which means even if it does dies it would only take few days for the system spirit to heal back, since the main soul was still in the system, it only wanted to have some fun and that was why it requested for a golem body.
