The Golem Mage

After James cast the wind barrage, countless razor-sharp wind projectiles shot out from the swirling orb rotating at his fingertip.

The Alpha wolf could only watch in horror as its body was shredded into pieces by the onslaught of projectiles, killing it instantly.

Exhausted, James dropped to his knees, gasping for breath after delivering such a powerful attack with the remnants of his mana.

It was sheer luck that Alec had already injured the wolf’s hind limbs, preventing it from evading at full speed and rendering James’s attack ineffective.

This was the reason James had hesitated to use the spell initially since his control over it was still lacking, having recently entered the Tier 4 Mage realm and just becoming familiar with the new Mid-Rank Spell, his confidence is not that high on the spell.

With the target defeated, the Blood Sword, formed from killing intent, returned to Alec before transforming back into a red cloak.

Alec smiled with excitement as he sheathed his Changdao and katana, causing the effects of the Blood killing intent, as well as the changes around him, including the glowing tattoo, to fade away.

”That was incredibly fun!” Continue your adventure with NovelFire.Côm

Alec exclaimed before collapsing onto the ground upon hearing the system notification of another level up.

Having finally reached the Mid Tier 2 Mage realm, Alec knew that others wouldn’t be able to discern his breakthrough since his mana was still sealed, and there were no visible signs or fluctuations.

Initially, he had doubted his ability to level up with restricted mana, unable to feel or cultivate it.

However, the system proved him wrong once again, allowing him to level up through killing.

Once he broke free from his sealed state, the waves of mana fluctuations would undoubtedly signify his breakthrough.

As he touched his iron bracers, Alec reminisced about how heavily they had weighed him down at the start, but Now, he rarely even felt their presence.

It was as if the bracers had become a natural extension of his body.

Despite being in the midst of a heated battle, he almost forgot he was wearing them.

His hands and legs felt heavier once again, but this time, it didn’t evoke the same feelings of helplessness.

As he lay on the ground, something felt off, like he was missing something important.

Then, he remembered, He had left his clan members and golems to deal with the remaining Tier 3 wolf pack, refusing to play the role of a babysitter and allowed them to grow on their own.

However, when he turned to look, he saw James standing frozen in place, giving Alec a sense of foreboding.

Reacting quickly, Alec pushed James out of way and witnessed something unbelievable.

The eight wolf bodies were already lying on the ground, lifeless.

The remaining members of the Gordons clan watched as James’s four companions demonstrated the proper way to skin the wolves.

Alec realized the importance of these wolf bodies, not only as a source of power stones but also for their monetary value, as he watched them removed the body parts they needed.

It was in that moment that he understood why James had stood rooted in place.

He marveled at the swift and efficient manner in which the wolves had been dispatched while they had still been struggling against the Alpha wolf.

He could relate to James’s concern and but he had feared something had gone wrong, hence his unmoving stance.

However, it seemed there was no need to worry anymore.

Brandon lifted his head and caught Alec’s gaze, nodding in acknowledgement.

Alec returned the nod with a light smile, Seeing Brandon’s confirmation, Arthur redirected his attention to where Brandon had nodded and realized that Alec had already taken care of the Alpha wolf.

”Hey, you guys are finished!, Bring the body over, let’s cut that alpha quickly!” Arthur shouted with visible delight on his face.

Though Agnes had the urge to playfully smack the back of Arthur’s head as she typically did, but they were all overjoyed by the progress they had made in taking down their enemies.

As Tier 3 lifeform opponents now seems not like a hard task again and this proved to be a boost to their egos.

Alec and James worked together to carry the massive wolf body, planning to take it directly to their group who was in the process of harvesting valuable materials from the other wolves, including their power stones.

However, as Alec’s hand made contact with the dead alpha wolf’s body, an unavoidable notification appeared.

[Mid Tier resource for crafting found]

[> Can be used to craft a (low) Tier 4 Spirit weapon (Locked)]

[> Can be used to craft a full armor and weapon set (Peak) Tier 3, add 4 dead wolves lower in rank as material]

[> (Low) Tier 4 Spirit Weapons cost 5000 System points (Locked)]

[> (Peak) full Armor and weapon set cost 5000 System points]”

Alec was stunned by this revelation.

He was witnessing yet another significant change brought on by the upgraded system.

He realized that the system evolved as he climbed to new realms.

Though he had known there was an option to use system points to fix flaws in his weapons, he hadn’t been inclined to purchase new equipment since he could still rely on the Red Salamander set until he reached the Tier 3 Mage realm.

However, the opportunity to create a full set of spirit armor for his clansmen presented itself, and Alec was more than willing to seize it.

After carefully placing the alpha wolf’s body on the ground, it was quickly dissected by Kelvin Gordons and the mages from James’s group.

They were highly skilled at the task, and Fortunately, they also stumbled upon another attribute stone, although its quality was inferior to the one Alec possessed.

Despite this, Alec insisted that James deserved it since he had been responsible for killing the Alpha wolf and he already had one of his own.

And After some back-and-forth arguing, James reluctantly accepted the new attribute stones along with the body items of the Alpha wolves.

In the meantime, Alec requested only four wolves, insisting that their bodies not be tampered with.

He stored them safely inside his space ring.

Although Arthur was curious to cut into the wolves body and learn from Kelvin, Alec asked him to hold off for the time being.

The group unquestioningly accepted Alec’s decisions as law, including how they split the rewards.

James’s group was thrilled to keep the remaining loot, and their smiles showed their satisfaction.

With the additional gains from the Orcs they had killed a few days prior, they were now wealthier than ever before.

This newfound wealth meant they wouldn’t have to venture into the Abyss Realm for long.

Instead, they could focus on secluding themselves and upgrading their realms.

but Alec’s next question caught James off guard.

”Where can we find these types of wolves again?” Alec inquired, making James wonder about his intentions.

However, considering the efficiency and lack of injuries they experienced while teaming up with Alec’s group, James saw no reason to decline.

Killing more wolves seemed like a profitable endeavor, especially since they were planning to move to the Abyss battlefield.

Taking the lead, James guided them to the region where the pack of giant wolves was known to hunt.

Alec, filled with anticipation, imagined equipping his entire Clansmen with Tier 3 weapons and armor sets.

He couldn’t wait to witness the incredible boost in their powers.
