The Golem Mage

Chapter 271: Martial Prowess ( Part 4).

”Ohhh, so that’s the reason why”

” I truly appreciate your knowledge and insight,” Alec expressed, bowing towards James.

As he continued his contemplation, his eyes glistened with a newfound desire.

However, James simply stared at him and shook his head, determined not to speak.

In reality, James didn’t feel like he had done anything extraordinary.

He had merely shared what he knew in response to Alec’s inquiry, which he considered rather straightforward.

Nevertheless, Alec found James explanation to be profound as it shed light on a potential issue he was currently facing.

He had independently grasped the concept of Sword Qi and had the ability to summon and wield it at will.

This closeness to the Sword Qi felt similar to a parent-child relationship, as Alec had formed it himself.

On the other hand, the sword intent was different.

Alec had comprehended it through the Blood Changdao, making it a part of him, while simultaneously feeling disconnected.

He likened it to an adopted child who had not fully accepted him as their new father.

Whenever Alec attempted to merge the sword Qi with the sword intent, it felt as if he were forcing the two children to interact.

Consequently, the sword intent rebelled against the idea, except for a temporary merge when the Blood killing intent materialized as a robe and persuaded acceptance.

Due to the influence of the Blood Changdao’s aura, the sword intent felt more aligned with the killing intent, making it less resistant.

However, Alec truly desired complete control and ownership over the sword intent.

With James’ explanation, Alec now had a clear understanding of his next steps.

He needed to gradually work towards reducing the sword intent’s resistance and eventually refine it until it truly became his own.

This challenge only existed because of the system; he had inherited a sword intent that didn’t originate from his own Sword technique.

But Created from the Blood Changdao instead with the help of the system, Alec knew that the only way to make it truly his own was to refine it to suit his own fighting style.

A growl pierced through the air, causing their squad to halt in their tracks.

They looked around and realised they were Surrounded by dense bushes, they struggled to pinpoint the source of the sound until, suddenly, wolves emerged, snarling and growling with disdain.

Reacting swiftly, the remaining mages in James’ group unleashed their Tier 3 aura, hoping to intimidate the four wolves that had appeared.

However, their plan backfired as the wolves responded by unleashing their own wild and savage aura infused with killing intent.

The mages took a few steps back, their faces turning pale.

James stepped forward, releasing his formidable Tier 4 aura to reinforce the barrier and protect the members of the Gordons from the intense Tier pressure emitted by the savage beasts.

”Stay focused, everyone! We can handle this!”

James declared, confident in his own strength and Alec’s other methods to navigate through this situation smoothly.

As his companions regained their confidence, the clearing was filled with the booming sound of approaching footsteps.

All heads turned to witness the arrival of an immense alpha wolf, appearing seemingly out of nowhere.

With blood-red eyes and an aura of authority, the mere presence of the alpha wolf commanded respect from the other wolves, as he was also followed by another 4 wolves.

The alpha wolf emitted a powerful snarl, warning the mages of his dominance and superiority.

”That’s their alpha... He’s even stronger!, We’ll have to go all out,”

James said, his tone serious as he tightly gripped his sword, turning to Alec as he spoke.

It was his plan for the two of them, the stronger members, to take down the alpha wolf while the rest of the squad did their best to stay alive until they could eliminate the remaining wolves.

” All of you are crucial support for this battle, Your main aim should be to assist the golems and James’ colleagues, who have chosen to stand alongside us, We owe them that,” Alec stated as he walked forward, finally standing side by side with James.

”Are you ready?” Alec asked, unsheathing both of his blades as his aura underwent an instant transformation.

With both hands respectively holding the white bone katana and the Blood Changdao, the hidden tattoo reappeared in a magical display.

The blades glowed, as if engulfed in flames, while Alec’s sanguine crown rested upon his head and his red cloak billowed behind him, exuding an imposing presence.

When James turned to look at Alec, he was taken aback by the noticeable change that occurred after Alec drew the Blood sword from his waist.

James couldn’t help but attribute this transformation to the possibility that the sword might be a Bloodline treasure.

Otherwise, there was no explanation for how a weapon could have such a profound effect on a person.

In that moment, Alec’s brows turned red, and fiery patches appeared at the tips of his hair.

James, having known Alec’s real hair color, attributed this change to the sword.

But that was wrong red was Alec’s natural hair colour with brown patches, but Despite dyeing his hair black to conceal his Blaze Clan resemblance

Alec’s hair seems to change color whenever he unsheathed the Blood Changdao.

The changes became more pronounced and spread faster the more he used the sword.

Alec attempted to summon the sword’s intent and found that it responded effortlessly.

Gone was the casual appearance; now, Alec seemed like a prince from a flaming kingdom.

His sanguine crown, Blood cloak, Blood Changdao with flaming runes on the blade’s edges, the tips of his hair transformed into a fiery red shade, along with his eyebrows and the glowing red tattoo from the Salamander armor.

All these elements did little to help him blend in.

Even the female mage in James’ group, who had summoned her mount, couldn’t help but be captivated by Alec’s exposed upper body.

A howl echoed through the air, breaking the momentary silence.

The haunting howl of the Alpha wolf pierced through the air, causing the eight wolves to spring into action.

With a synchronized movement, they relentlessly pursued their prey, attempting to dismantle the barrier that the golems had erected.

”Summon your minions and fill every available space!”

Alec commanded his Golems, his voice laced with determination.

As him and James swiftly made their way towards the incoming Alpha wolf, preparing for yet another monumental battle that threatened there survival, even before they reached the Abyss battlefield.
