The Golem Mage

The Gordons Clan Mages eagerly followed Instructor Terran up to his peak, the magnificent War God Mage Academy nestled amidst towering mountains and peaks.

Within the academy, the direct disciples of the esteemed instructors were privileged to reside with their mentors in their own private peaks.

However, most mages from the Low Tier and Mid Tier clans often faced rejection from their instructors, believing they were not skilled enough, As a result, these mages were left to reside in the dormitories prepared for the remaining students.

This created a disparity, as these mages were not entitled to the private lectures offered by the assigned instructors, Instead, they could only attend the public classes that were occasionally held.

However, these lectures were not as detailed as the private lessons, causing those who struggled to understand the material to fall behind the exceptional students.

Unless these instructor less mages had impressive war merits or achieved something extraordinary, they could forget about catching the attention of any instructor.

The moment Alec reached the peak, he noticed the sparsity of the area and the overgrown bushes that veiled it, It became evident that no one had tended to their new master's peak for quite some time.

Alec and the group gazed at the closest peak, which was bustling with numerous mages, They were crammed together, and if Alec were to count, he estimated there would be around three hundred of them.

He also observed an instructor ushering in new disciples, introducing them to his existing students and familiarizing them with the routine, Alec recalled the warning he had heard about Terran's students having the highest casualty rate.

"Um, Master," Alec spoke up, curiosity brimming in his voice.

"Where are the rest of our seniors? Are you not going to introduce us to your other students?"

Terran sighed and replied,

"As you can see, I'm the only one residing in this peak, I only have one disciple alive, and he spends most of his time on the battlefield, as if his life depended on it, He rarely returns to the peak since he believes he has already learned all he needed to."

Alec furrowed his brow, the mention of battlefields and military rankings piquing his interest, he's been hearing about it since he entered the school like they were in some type of war with another faction, Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked another question.

"I apologize for my persistence, but I can't help but wonder about this battlefield that keeps being mentioned, Who exactly are we fighting? Are there still people foolish enough to engage in combat with fellow humans during such a treacherous period where everyone is in danger whenever the Blood Moon arrives?"

Alec's expression turned serious as he posed his questions, For the first time since they began their journey, his master turned to look at him, studying his eyes in an attempt to decipher his true feelings.

"From your expression, it's evident that you have experienced many battles and hold deep grudges against the creatures from the second dimension,"

Terran stated, his gaze unwavering.

"I appreciate that kind of spirit, However, if you believe that your enemies are only limited to the races from the second dimension, then you won't even know how you met your end."

As they flew towards the only castle on the peak, Terran instructed them to choose where they wanted to live, There were numerous unused houses within the peak, all available without any cost, providing them with comfort and no issues.

** Inside the Gordons Clan **

Aurora had finally found a way to blend into the Gordons clan, She had applied to become an enforcer for the clan, Initially, she was taken aback by how strict the clan's procedures were.

Given the Tier 5 Mage abilities she showed , she had assumed the clan would be more eager to recruit her, Talented lone mages like herself were usually highly respected by other clans, sometimes leading to marriage proposals in an attempt to establish a stronger connection.

However, since her acceptance into the clan, nothing of that sort had occurred, While the treatment she received was good, and the food satisfactory, there seemed to be no indication that she was favored above the rest.

While on guard duty near the clan gates, an overwhelming sense of danger washed over her.

Though she could detect someone appearing behind her, the unique Qi emanating from the person made her dead certain that he was a member of the Gordons clan.

After spending some time in the Gordons clan, Aurora had managed to learn a few things, She discovered that the entire clan was connected through Qi, so when someone lower in rank was injured, those higher up would be alerted.

She associated this state of connection with the basic cultivation that all clan members underwent, It had been tweaked in a way that concealed the fact that they were under surveillance.

However, Aurora understood that this was done with the intention of protection.

"So, tell me, which clan sent you? And what is your objective? Lastly, how has your treatment been so far?"

Aurora was taken aback when she turned around and saw who had discovered her, She let out a defeated sigh, realizing that she should have noticed someone probing her, The person in front of her had become incredibly stealthy since breaking through.

"For the first question, no clan sent me here, I came on my own, And as for the second question, I came to check on the well-being of my nephew, Lastly, I am grateful to your clan for the excellent treatment I've received as an enforcer," Aurora replied.

The Grand Elder of the Gordons clan, who had silently appeared beside Aurora, detected a hint of disdain in her tone at the end of her sentence, He could already piece together why her attitude had changed.

Based on how she spoke, he sensed that she came from a high-ranking clan, and being treated as an enforcer seemed to have dampened her mood, It was clear that someone as strong as her would be pampered like a princess in her own clan.

"And who might this nephew of yours be? Because I don't recall any of our clansmen having a connection with a clan of such standing,"

the Grand Elder asked trying to probe , his expression serious as he started to suspect her, Aurora looked at the Grand Elder and realized that if she ever wanted to get out of this predicament, she would have to come clean.

"My nephew is Alec Gordon, one of the rightful heirs of the Ancient Blaze Clan."

"Young lady, I can't help but argue with you on that, As far as I'm concerned, Alec is not interested in knowing anyone from that clan, and not only that, but you should be well aware that your clan has made attempts to assassinate him," the Grand Elder said with a grim expression.

"You have to understand that there are different factions within our clan due to its size, and this means not everyone is interested in seeing him dead, To some people, Alec is the person they have been waiting for to come and stir things up, I just need a moment with him, I need to clarify some matters that happened in the past," Aurora explained.

"I'm sorry, but that would not be possible, If I'm not mistaken, he should be at the War God Mage Academy now!" the Grand Elder responded.

Aurora became visibly upset upon hearing that Alec was attending the academy that the major clan was targeting, However, the Grand Elder seemed uninterested in explaining anything to her.

"Well, I guess I should go back then since there is nothing else for me to do here!"

Aurora said, feeling frustrated, But just as she began to move, a loud howl echoed through the air.

Both Aurora and the Grand Elder floated up into the sky and observed a massive wolf on a mountain hill, howling towards the heavens, and Different types of Wolf demonic beasts from the nearby forest were dashing towards Estonia city, and various experts began levitating into the sky.

Even the high-ranking members of the Gordons clan joined them.

Draco, upon spotting Aurora, looked surprised but chose not to question her presence, The Grand Elder turned towards her with a shrewd smile on his face.

"It seems you won't be going anywhere soon, with a wave of wolf monsters on the way, unless you have a death wish, why not join us enforcer " the Grand Elder remarked and Aurora silently wished she could wipe that smirk off his face with a punch.
