The Golem Mage

Chapter 17: Time to get another tier one golem

Bryan scrutinized Alec, trying to figure out why he was so confident.

However, no matter how hard he tried to calculate Alec's actions, it became clear that Alec had a clear head and couldn't be manipulated.

"I don't know what you're placing your faith in, but I can assure you that if you don't have another golem as big as that guy here, you'll lose terribly,"

Bryan Lanzt said, pointing at Titan.

Alec was taken aback, He was certain that there was nothing that could match Titan's strength.

"Oh, and why is that?" Alec asked, genuinely surprised.

"There is a (Peak) Tier 1 speed demon zombie," Bryan replied.

Alec furrowed his brows as he learned that there was a Peak Tier 1 zombie silently lurking among the horde he was defending against.

The fact that it hadn't attacked yet meant it was intelligent enough to hide from there views waiting to ambush his siblings.

After all, it specialized in speed.

"Closing in on my siblings won't be difficult for the zombie," Alec stated coldly.

"This is another reason why I need you guys to cooperate with me, otherwise, I won't hesitate to leave you all here."

The members of the Lanzt clan shivered, feeling like they were being stared at by a dangerous beast rather than a human.

"I can assure you that my clansmen will cooperate with you," Bryan reassured Alec, hoping to ease the tension.

"Good, You can all stay here and blast your spells into the crowd of zombies, reducing our workload, At least show your strengths as mages,"

Alec scowled as he walked away from them.

Bryan was shocked by Alec's demeanor, It was clear that Alec held the Lanzt younger generation in disdain

Especially since they were quite arrogant towards him and the Gordons family despite them coming to their rescue

Bryan couldn't entirely blame them, as most of them had never left the family grounds, so they still believe the brainwashing that was done on them that they were the strongest family

Today was their first time being led out to defend the city, and their egos were shattered in the face of those horrifying zombies.

They soon realized that the "genius" title they had been given meant nothing on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the old retainers hired by their clan to serve as meat shields, they could have been killed multiple times.

While they cast their spells, they would have likely been the first to fall when the zombies breached the walls.

Thankfully, their retainers sacrificed their lives to ensure their escape, and that was the reason they were still alive when Alec arrived.

They only had a few retainers left standing by their side now.

Upon meeting with the Gordons family, Alec noticed that their Stone Bullet skill had reached level 3

while Agnes' was at level 4, She could unleash more stone bullets towards the zombies, and her accuracy was awe-inspiring.

Every time she cast the spell, she could conjure up to ten earth-element bullets, leaving the others pale in comparison.

Even she could recognize how much she had improved, despite hating that she had sought guidance from her supposed rival.

The thought of becoming stronger outweighed everything else.

"Hey, have you come to an agreement with them?"

Arthur asked, as he sent approximately five earth bullets straight into the horde.

Out of the five bullets, three found their target.

"Yes, I did, just wait for it," Alec reassured them.

It didn't take long before the Gordons' clan members witnessed a series of wind blades being launched at the zombies from behind.

It was like a reaper's scythe, claiming the lives of countless unclassified zombies before losing its power.

"Who would've thought those seemingly frail children had such immense firepower?" Arthur remarked.

"I feel like I might just die if one of those wind blades was aimed at me," Agnes admitted.

"Shut the fuck up, If a wind blade is aimed at you, slash back at it, and if that doesn't work, raise an earth wall while evading," Alec advised.

"Even if they are skilled with their spells, it doesn't matter, once we close the distance, the Lanzt family is nothing more than a sitting duck waiting to be killed," Alec declared confidently.

The eyes of the children sparkled with determination, even the usually quiet Brandon seemed to roar louder than ever before after Alec's motivating words.

Alec gazed at them and sighed inwardly, His family members were so young and easily influenced.

but as their leader, it was crucial that they followed his commands.

However, it was his own strength that had truly earned their respect.

In just a few hours of being with Alec, they could feel themselves improving more than they had in weeks of solitary cultivation and meditation.

His words of encouragement had almost addicted them to fighting recklessly, much like him.

Brandon, in particular, had started taking the initiative to counterattack instead of just defending and killing the zombies who got too close with a quick slash.

"Arthur, your mana is running low, Don't waste it on Stone Bullet, Condense a metal sword like before and take over for Brandon, His reckless fighting style is making him lose stamina," Alec advised.

"Yes, boss," Arthur responded promptly.

He swiftly used his metal element to create a sharp, compressed metallic sword, sustaining it with mana as he walked over to Brandon and instructed him to switch.

"Boss, I can still fight," Brandon tried to assure Alec as he approached.

Alec's eyebrows raised as he realized that even Brandon had started referring to him as "boss." He felt like scolding Arthur later, once this was all over.

"I know, but you're running low on stamina, I don't want you to get injured, even if it can be cured with purification water"

" It's better to avoid unnecessary risks since we're aiming for an overwhelming victory," Alec explained.

Another set of wind blades was unleashed, reducing the horde.

Alec knew his job was almost done, as he had prevented the zombies from the North Gate from attacking the civilians in the city.

All that was left was to either bait out the peak Tier One zombie or eliminate all the unclassified zombies until it became visible.

"Join up with the rest and give Stone Bullet a try, Before you say you're not good at it, just know that practice makes perfect"

" Keep attacking until you get the hang of it. We've got your back, Brandon, We Gordons don't leave a genius behind," Alec encouraged, patting Brandon on the back as he came to the rear lineb

Alec was convinced that with Brandon's peak Affinity, he would excel at using Stone Bullet once he grasped the spell properly.

By Alec's observations, Brandon had never attempted to use the spell, likely due to his fighting style.

Otherwise, it would have been evident in his skillset, even if it was at a level 1 range.

This was why Alec used his role as their leader to encourage Brandon to use it. They needed every able hand on deck, and even Alec himself was on guard.

Ever since he had learned about the existence of a (Peak) Tier 1 undead entity.

He had refrained from informing his clan members, not wanting to instill panic among them.

He couldn't help but think of the chaos that panic had caused for the Lanzt family.

Alec remembered the Level 0 golem that prompt a notification when they left the South Gates.

It had been on the verge of evolving into a Tier One golem, with sufficient mana to reach that realm.

The golem stood before Alec, appearing no different from the others, but he knew it was the strongest, besides Titan.

"Here goes nothing,".

Alec whispered as he reluctantly embraced the final option.

In that instant, it was as if a never-before-seen magic unfolded before his eyes, his mana flowing through his hands and into the golem's body.
