The Golem Mage

769: Assassination Competition 2.

769: Assassination Competition 2.

That shout clearly came directly from the Type 3 mental zombie, shocking even the High-rank human mages with its sudden outburst.

They quickly noticed its eyes fixed on the left side of the battlefield, the area where the Low-rank human mages and the Low-rank zombie horde were supposed to clash.

Alec’s earlier feat of eliminating over a thousand zombies had been impressive, but most High-rank mages had already shifted their focus to the Mid-rank battlefield, where they felt the real danger lay.

However, this single reaction from the Type 3 mental zombie had now dragged everyone’s attention back to Alec’s group.

The Gordon elders, who had been observing the battle all along, couldn’t help but let their expressions darken.

“Do you remember when that boy said he might need to call on us soon, and we didn’t take his words seriously?” The Fourth Elder asked, having quickly deciphered Alec’s strategy.

“Yeah…” The Third Elder replied, dragging out the word as realization dawned on him.

“Well, I don’t think he’ll even have to call us.

We’ll probably have to step in before things spiral out of control,” the Fourth Elder remarked, sensing the growing grudge the Type 3 mental zombie now harboured against the Gordon mages above the hilltop.

The High-rank human mages were also quick to piece together what was happening, their eyes fell on the five dead Type 1 mental zombies, ranging from Tier 1 to Tier 3, that had been discreetly controlling the horde.

While they hadn’t known these mental zombies were hidden among the ranks, they now fully understood why the Type 3 mental zombie was enraged.

Alec had been effectively cutting off its extended limbs, its surveillance and control over that section of the battlefield.

And now, just as the last Tier 3 mental zombie in the Low-rank battlefield was about to be eliminated by the bullet and arrow Legion and Endrick had fired, a desperate shift occurred.

Various mutated zombies threw themselves into the line of fire, sacrificing their bodies in an attempt to shield their final commander chance of escape.

It was almost as if this was the Type 3 mental zombie’s last desperate effort to protect the last mental type zombie there, the last piece that was allowing it to keep its surveillance over the Low-rank horde.

As if Alec managed to eliminate this last mental zombie, the Type 3 would lose its ability to fully comprehend the battlefield through the eyes of its subordinate, worse still, it would no longer be able to issue commands effectively, given how far away it was from the Low-Tier zombies.

That final mental type 1 zombie was its only remaining link to the Low-rank horde, and it was fighting to keep it alive.

As several Peak Tier 3 Strength-type zombies had already sacrificed themselves to shield it, but now, a new wave of danger emerged for the Gordons mages, Speed-type zombies.

From within the chaotic swarm of mutated undead, these speed demons suddenly dashed forward, heading straight for the hilltop.

Alec’s lips curled into a smirk, the zombie army had officially marked him as their target.

The reason was clear: the mental type 1 zombie was trying to assassinate him.

“If you think just because your superiors saved you once, you’re safe… then you’re still just another brain-rotted fool.” Alec murmured, immediately recognizing the Type 1’s counterattack.

He raised his hands and turned to the sub-Tier 3 Mage leader.

“It’s time to hunt down the hunting dogs.

Tier 3 Mages, take the front!

Cast Earth Walls on both sides to trap the speed-types in a narrow corridor, forcing them to come straight at us!”

Alec’s voice carried authority, and the Tier 3 Mages immediately stepped forward as the Tier 1 Mages fell back, making space.

The battlefield shifted as over two hundred Tier 3 human mages and their golems took formation at the frontline, while they didn’t fill the space as completely as the Tier 1 mages had, the sheer aura of power they emitted was enough to send chills down the spines of those watching.

A moment later, the air hummed with magic.
