The Golem Mage

Chapter 468 468: The Chronomancer (Final B).

The Chronomancer was astonished by the turn of events, as Alec seems to be in an enlightened state as he flawlessly executed combo after combo of attacks.

Following the left jab he threw, Alec smoothly followed through with a powerful right cross punch, by utilizing the rotation of his body to unleash maximum power while staying closely to the Bloody Changdao.

However, the Chronomancer swiftly mounted a last-minute defense as he raised his hands up, keenly sensing the immense strength behind Alecʼs rotational attack.

This slight resistance pushed him back, prompting the Chronomancer to exert even more force into his hands to break the attack before swinging his sword, yet, Alec skillfully rolled backward, evading the strike, and immediately surged forward once more.

During Alecʼs advancement, the Chronomancer hastily retreated a few steps as Alec seized his Bloody Changdao from the ground and thrust it towards the Chronomancerʼs torso.

Capitalizing on the opening created by the Chronomancerʼs attempted retreat, Alec aimed directly at him, alas, the Chronomancer swiftly comprehended Alecʼs intentions, skillfully waving both hands to flick Alecʼs Changdao and neutralize the thrust.

Unfazed by this countermove, Alec seamlessly transitioned his attack. Advancing forward with his left foot, as he swiftly executed a forceful right roundhouse kick to the Chronomancerʼs side, striking him with considerable impact.

This blow caused the Chronomancerʼs left side to bend slightly and disrupted his balance.

Frustration welled within the Chronomancer as he longed to curse aloud, Alec had cleverly employed his gravity distortion on his legs before executing the attack, resulting in internal injuries, as the distortion attacks ravaged his insides upon impact, the Chronomancer felt the full force of their power.

Unlike the comparatively mild discomfort caused by the fiery and earth fists, these gravity-infused attacks were like critical blows, and Alecʼs control over this ability was impeccable, enabling him to unleash its force at will.

Swiftly dropping to the ground, Alec seamlessly followed through with his Changdao in a low sweeping motion, intentionally targeting the Chronomancerʼs still unbalanced left leg, causing him to stumble and fall.

Without a momentʼs hesitation, Alec drove the blade straight into the Chronomancerʼs heart, his eyes bulging in disbelief as the realization of his imminent demise hit him. In a cruel twist of fate, he found himself unable to cast the time reversal spell, as the anti-magic properties had already pierced into his heart through the Changdao , rendering him powerless to avert his own death.

It was a bitterly ironic moment for the Chronomancer who played with time spells , unable to perform even a single spell due to the overwhelming presence of anti-magic, despite his struggle, it took a grueling two minutes before his life finally slipped away.

Alec couldnʼt help but marvel at the Chronomancerʼs tenacity, his sheer determination to fight on even as his life force waned, it had truly been an unexpected turn of events, however, Alec had not aimed to kill him out of malice, but solely out of his duty.

Through information gleaned from the academy, they discovered that the Chronomancer had been directly involved in numerous deaths.

Although the precise details of how and when he had wrested control of the city eluded them, they knew one thing for certain: no mage above Tier 5 could enter the City of Time and those who did enter never live to tell the tale.

Those who had dared to defy this rule had met their demise, Alec remained unaware of Seleneʼs intentions to gamble with his life again, due to her unwavering faith in him that he would defy death once again.

With a fluid motion, Alec swung his Changdao to the side, the droplets of blood flung from the blade, leaving it gleaming in its pristine state.

He dragged the Changdao along the scabbard, each movement measured and solemn.

The blade traced the scabbardʼs opening slowly, almost reverently, before Alec slid it home with a soft click, in that moment, his spirit equipment set reverted back to tattoo form, his eyes closed, as he collapsed to the ground.

”I won,” he mumbled as consciousness slipped away.

Alec wasnʼt feeling arrogant, but the breakthrough had added 30 extra stat points to his physical attributes and increased his mentality by 5 this was enough to make him feel slightly invincible.
