Chapter 475: Deadline Approaching (1).

From atop a crumbling building, a lone figure stared out at a deserted village, the once thriving community now lay in ruins, its buildings reduced to unrecognizable debris, and an eerie emptiness pervaded its streets, infested with countless sea demons.

This ill-fated village, situated near the sea, fell victim to a relentless horde of sea demon€™s that had attacked, unable to withstand the onslaught and lacking the support of any nearby city, the villagers were swiftly and easily defeated.

The sea demons descended upon the village, ravaging and devouring its inhabitants without mercy, sparing no one, not even the innocent children.

The devastating consequences extended beyond this village that the neighbouring villages, alarmed by the sea demons€™ rampage, chose to abandon their homes, seeking refuge in the safety of the cities nearby, left unchecked, the sea demons roamed the scant remaining village regions, establishing their reign of terror.

The cities, once disdainful of the sea demon horde, now trembled in fear, as the sea demons had proliferated to such an extent that the cities could only muster a passive defense when united now.

However, a glimmer of hope emerged as rumours spread of the mastermind behind these sea demon attack had come to the surface, it was believed that killing this leader would disperse the remaining sea demons, leaving them leaderless and vulnerable.

Yet, a daunting obstacle loomed before them, the leader of the sea demons was purportedly at the pinnacle of Tier 5 realm, a level beyond the reach of the low-level cities nearby, These cities, with their highest rank of Tier 4, were ill-prepared to venture into this sea demon-infested territory, and even if they did they found themselves paralyzed, unable to confront the mastermind as the mission to eliminate the sea demon leader seemed insurmountable to them.

They would have to face numerous sea demon commanders before reaching the ultimate mastermind, the challenge appeared almost impossible, however, amidst this bleak situation, the lone figure managed to infiltrate the heart of the sea demon stronghold.

He was Standing above the sea demons, with hands nonchalantly tucked into his pockets, Though his appearance had changed considerably €“ as he was taller, with his well-defined body, and the red Salamander spirit equipment tattooed design accentuating his rugged charm, while his hair cascaded in waves of red and brown, dancing freely with the wind.

The mage infiltrating the sea demons€™ base was none other than Alec Gordons, but he had undergone a remarkable transformation.

Notably, he had grown several inches taller, now boasting a stature of about six feet, he was beginning to resemble the epitome of a Prince Charming, flanked on either side by Titan and the system spirit golem.

€œWhat are your thoughts?€ Alec queried, directing his question to the system spirit golem.

€œIf we want to succeed, we must be quick and decisive, time is of the essence, for the longer we delay, the more difficult it becomes to eliminate the mastermind.

Once he escapes back into the sea, we will lose him,€ the system spirit golem explained, emphasizing the urgency of their mission.

€œSo, our best course of action would be to create a distraction substantial enough to provoke his intervention or escape, correct?€ Alec asked, his expression growing colder.

€œWell, I didn€™t explicitly state that, but when you frame it that way, who am I to disagree?

Just ensure that you are capable of apprehending him,€ the system spirit golem responded, its expression contorting into a twisted visage.

€œWell, I can assure you that won€™t pose a challenge, as if there€™s one thing I€™m confident about, it€™s that this bastard will regret ever setting foot on land and preying on humans,€ Alec retorted, a small smile gracing his face as he summoned all his golems.

The simultaneous emergence of the golems caused the air to grow slightly heavier, their presence creating a tangible synergy, and finally, the sea demons took notice.

At the forefront, one of the sea beasts unleashed a deafening roar, sending forth a powerful sound wave, However, Titan swiftly thrust his palm forward, causing the visible sound current to freeze and shatter in the following moment.

€œWhat are our orders, master?€ Titan inquired, his face void of emotion.

Adorned in a beautiful suit of ice armor, as his left hand still tightly gripped a menacing mace adorned with long spikes.

€œKill them all without mercy!€ Alec commanded.

In an instant, Oni disappeared, shrouded in shadows, and when he reappeared again he was already in the midst of the sea demons.

[> Low Tier skill €“ Reaper Sweep <]
Brandishing his Dark Reaper scythe, Oni unleashed a wide horizontal swing, targeting the sea demons before him, All they could see was a streak of black light passing through their necks.

There was no pain for the sea demons; they simply began to topple like dominoes, a line of blood tracing from their severed necks to their lifeless bodies.

Oni inhaled sharply, drawing the soul essence of the sea demons towards the vacant space within his mask, devouring their essence.

As he exhaled, ten grey mist emanated from him and dispersed, infiltrating the bodies of the fallen sea demons, causing them to undergo a transformation.

Fully aware of the attack against them, the sea demons swarmed towards Oni, who has made the first expression, but still yet he turned back with an eerie smile displayed on his mask, with scythe in hand.

He looked towards Alec, asking,
€œMaster, how did I do?€
Observing a golem wielding the power of soul and darkness acting so innocently seemed inherently wrong to the system spirit
€œHe is a pure monster born for war!€ the system spirit complimented, watching with awe as the ten Oni Shinigami golems rose and effortlessly started slaughtering the sea demons trying to crowd Oni, a wild smile adorning their faces.

Though Oni had disrupted the sequence, the rest of the main golems seemed unfazed as they levitated to their desired attack positions, releasing their realm of power.

They were all Tier 4 golems, with Titan emanating the widest Qi aura, showing his (high) Tier 4 golem realm, as he set foot on the ground, ice formed beneath his feet, spreading out in intricate ice runes.

As ten massive and muscular ice golems emerged from the ground, summoned by Titan€™s power, Moments later, they raised their weapons to clash with the sea demons.

The battle seemed relatively straightforward; the main golems summoned their minions, who took care of the sea demons and It appeared as though they were attempting to draw out the mastermind, but he remained elusive.

However, just then, a towering shark-like sea demon, standing at a formidable seven feet tall, emerged from the shadows.

With Dorsal fins spiked menacingly from its back, with five in total, Its mouths were filled with rows of sharp teeth, and it possessed neck fins that only heightened its distinctive appearance, despite retaining a humanoid form.

Accompanying this fearsome creature were ten other Tier 5 sea demon commanders.

€œWho the hell gave you the audacity to trespass into the domain of the almighty sea demon race?, Prepare to die!-€ The shark sea demon began to boast, but before it could finish its sentence, a thunderous shockwave erupted forward and as the lightning bolt dissipated, Butcher emerged from the aftermath, his hands tightly gripping an axe crackling with frenetic electrical currents, as Butcher prepared to bring the Axe down,
He had swiftly moved, causing it to appear as if a bolt of lightning surged forth, This impressive display was a result of his elemental body.

€œWhat do you all say?

,The golem who slays the most sea demons shall claim the title of top golem under master !€ Butcher shouted triumphantly as his strike connected with the shark sea demon, his message sent to the rest main golems .

The impact unleashed a tempest of lightning, propelling the wounded shark demon through the air, Butcher himself grimaced, black rocks crumbling from his hand due to the force of the blow.

Following closely behind, the other main golems of Alec surged forward.

The moment the commander sea demons appeared, they swiftly targeted their foes, however, Butcher€™s swiftness allowed him to reach his target first, seizing the advantage.

€œI will still win ,€ Titan€™s voice rang out expressionlessly.

With a calculated throw, he launched his mace, which soared through the air and ultimately pulverized the head of the very same shark demon that Butcher had engaged, with a pull of his hand, he retrieved the mace with the chains attached to his hands, Butcher couldn€™t help but feel as if the move was unfair.

€œCheat!€ he exclaimed angrily, as his foot landed upon the ground.

€œIt€™s almost the end of the two-month deadline, but any one of them could easily surpass my previous self, i suppose they are the ones who have benefited the most from the Amulet,€ Alec mused, gazing at the amulet dangling from his naked chest.

€œAren€™t you supposed to be more concerned about your team?

After all, you are their captain,€ the system spirit queried.

€œNah, they€™ll be fine, if there€™s any consolation, I believe they must have grown tremendously now that I€™m not there to lead the vanguard, they would have stepped up by now, i have hat much faith in my team,€ Alec replied with a weak smile, as he was still observing his golem in battle, his hands still tucked inside his pockets.
