The Golem Mage - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: He Finally Joins The Fight Chapter 42: He Finally Joins The Fight Brandon wasted no time as he jumped off the carriage, joining the other kids from the clan in preparing to defend themselves against the assassins.

However, he knew that if Alec woke up, this fight could be made much easier after he unleashed his golems.

€œHey Alec, wake up!€
Arthur tapped Alec, and his lazy eyes slowly opened as he stretched his body.

€œIs it my turn already?€
€œOh, we€™re not at the Banquet again, Boss, We actually need your help to fight off these assassins sent after us,€ Arthur explained.

Alec€™s eyes quickly regained their energy at the mention of assassins.

€œWhere is the seventh elder?€ Alec questioned, surprised that something like this could happen under the watch of a Tier 6 mage.

€œHe€™s currently fighting against two Tier 6 mages and hopes we€™ll be able to defeat these assailants quickly.

Or at least defend ourselves.€
€œAlright then, let€™s show these fuckers not to mess with the Gordons clan again,€ Alec declared, causing Arthur to wear a defeated expression.

€œCan you at least try to refrain from using such vulgar language?, You are the leader of the younger generation and the face of the Gordons Clan at the moment,€ Arthur pleaded.

€œForget manners, let€™s just kill these bastards,€ Alec responded before summoning his golems, Legion and Titan to join in the fight.

He charged forward while conjuring an earth spear.

Arthur stood nearby, surrounded by ten golden blades that created an Intimidating looking formation around him.

As Alec looked at the spear he created from the earth elements, he couldn€™t help but feel disappointed in its lack of attributes, since it was still at level one spear.

€œI should have just brought an already levelled up spear with me,€
Alec complained silently, but he didn€™t let it stop him as he ran towards the last carriage where the battle was taking place.

He could already spot Brandon from afar, his unique stature and skilful use of a great sword setting him apart.

He also noticed Agnes and Knight, who were struggling to keep up with the number of attackers while assisting the others.

Alec knew they wouldn€™t last much longer if the battle continued at this rate, as their stamina wouldn€™t be able to keep up.

Only Arthur and Brandon who had been fighting, eating, cultivating, all the time have the required stamina to continue.

Since Their stamina and endurance were on another level, having tempered themselves over hundreds of spars in just a couple of weeks.

€œMake way!€
Alec commanded as he arrived at the front lines, causing those present to quickly step aside upon recognizing him.

Alec€™s spear emitted a brilliant light as it levelled up to level 2, a result of his continuous infusion of mana to enhance its power.

Screams began to echo as Alec and his golems joined the ranks of the Gordons clan mages.

The battle that was once a close fight between both group now turned to a once sided massacre, as none of the black-clothed assassins were able to stop Alec€™s relentless charge or his golems€™ brutal onslaught, each of them Strike to deliver a swift kill.

Legion fought without his shield, each thrust and movement claiming a life with his basic yet effective spear skills.

Meanwhile, Titan€™s style remained as brutal as ever, striking fear into the hearts of the nearby assassins.

Only the presence of the third leader prevented them from deserting the battle, for Titan€™s mace resembled the scythe of a death reaper, drenched in blood.

With each swing of his hand, Titan€™s rotating mace turned into a deadly drill, impaling his opponents effortlessly.

It was like cutting through butter, and although Legion possessed more attributes,
Titan was the true killing machine with his formidable shield and mace.

Realizing that they might only hinder Alec and his golems, the other members of the Gordons family began withdrawing from the fight giving Alec more space to unleash his skills.

The only ones left standing alongside Alec and his golems were Brandon, Arthur, Knight, and Agnes.

€œAlec and the four generals,€ the Gordons clan mages whispered among themselves as they witnessed the fearsome display of their fighting Prowess not know the words they just said would be mentioned countless times in the future.

They had heard stories of how Alec and other four talented juniors had fought a horde of zombies to save the Lanzt younger generations.

But hearing and seeing were two different things as this was the first time they really saw him go wild on a battlefield.

Knight and Agnes were merely struggling to keep up with the speed at which Arthur and Brandon hunted down the assassins, realizing that their skills and battle experiences were not on par with theirs.

Knight resorted to using his shadow bind to immobilize a large number of assailants, while Agnes swiftly dispatched them with earth spears and stakes through their hearts.

Though it may have appeared impressive to others, they were casting spells from a safe distance, protected and unchallenged and this was only possible because Alec had decided to make Titan tank all the heavy damage.

The more the Gordons clan younger generation observed how Alec, Brandon and Arthur fought their blood boiled as they wish they could just be there with them doing the same.

Brandon wielded his great sword, using his Five Ton Sword skill to amass earth elements onto the blade, making it even heavier.

Despite its weight, he swung the sword effortlessly.

Each missed attack against his opponents created shockwaves that sent them flying, breaking bones upon impact.

He fought like a berserk warrior, having developed this fighting style through countless battles with Alec€™s Golems.

Meanwhile, Arthur strolled across the battlefield with his hands casually tucked in his pockets.

Anyone who dared to approach him met their demise at the hands of the array of metal swords he controlled.

Even when someone managed to bypass the defense of the flying swords and attacked him, Arthur effortlessly summoned an earth wall to halt their charge.

Then Five metal swords then pierced the attacker€™s body from different angles locking there retreat option, all while Arthur maintained his nonchalant posture.

Alec, on the other hand, exhibited the most ferocity among them.

He hunted down the assassins like a predator, almost salivating at the opportunity for combat.

What others viewed as a battle, he saw as an opportunity to gain free experience for his new upgrades.

It had been a while since he had encountered worthy adversaries, and cultivating to gain experience seemed dreadfully dull and slow to him.

He was even content that someone had sent surpluses of Tier 1 assassins after his Clan.

If any of the younger generation of the Gordons Clan knew what he was thinking, they might have joined in with the assassins to beat him up, while they were fighting for there lives he was seeing it as an opportunity to farm Exp points.

Alec€™s command over the fire element had exceeded his control over earth, despite his infrequent use of it.

This led him to question if his fire affinity was actually closer to its peak, even though it was officially labelled as high affinity.

It was evident that he was more accustomed to utilizing fire than earth even though he rarely tried to learn flame spells, but it didn€™t mean he disregarded his Flame abilities.

Realizing that he wouldn€™t be able to quickly upgrade his spear to level 6, Alec tossed it aside and opted to rely on his fists and dual elements.

He became a raging inferno, scorching anyone who dared to approach him.

The temperature surrounding him was not merely hot, but downright blistering.

Observing Alec€™s proficiency with fire, others began to doubt if he truly belonged to the Gordon Clan or if he had been stolen from a Flame based clan.

Agnes: €œ…€
Knight: €œ…€
Agnes and Knight found themselves astounded by Alec€™s newfound power.

They even imagined themselves as the black assassins, engaging in combat against Alec, Brandon, or even Arthur, until they quickly realized that victory would be impossible.

The thought of fighting against the Golems was also out of the question as well, considering they were even stronger than their creator and have become more dangerous than the previous time Agnes and Knight had seen them .

The members of the Gordon Clan finally found solace in their heroes€™ extraordinary strength, but the assassins cursed the one who had given them false information.

According to their intel, Alec only possessed one incredibly powerful Tier 1 golem, while the rest were supposedly weak.

Yet, here were two monstrous golems before their eyes.

The information had also claimed that they only needed to be concerned about Brandon, as Alec was merely a golem path mage with limited combat ability.

However, Alec was now leading the charge, chasing after them with the fervour of someone who had been deprived for far too long and had finally laid eyes upon a naked woman.

Instead of engaging in battle, the assassins found themselves doubting where the plan had gone awry.

They were the supposed assassins, yet they were the ones being relentlessly pursued.

– Author’s Note –
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, whenever you receive this message.

I wanted to address a common concern that has been following my book, Golem Mage, ever since it was contracted with webnovel.

When I started writing Golem Mage, it was purely for fun.

I’m not sure if any of the old readers from the previous platform followed me here, but grammar has never been my strong point.

I made a lot of mistakes, and people read without complaining because it was free.

I’m sure they read over the first hundred chapters for free back then.

Suddenly, I received a contract through an agency linked with webnovel, and my book was established on their platform.

Now, I have to release chapters every day while also going back and correcting my past mistakes.

Editing is not easy, and the fact that I am not contracted directly with webnovel means I can’t simply edit my errors and expect them to show instantly.

The revisions have to go through the agency I am contracted with.

Please bear with me as I work on editing each chapter, no matter how stressful it may be.

I am not the same author I was when I started.

I have developed and evolved.

My writing style has changed, and my errors have reduced.

I promise to give the book the quality it deserves.

This message is only directed to the true fans of my books, not those who criticized it while also secretly reading the same book they claim they can’t read.

Thank you for your understanding and continuous support.
