The Golem Mage

The first junior attendant, who had just managed to get up, heard a silent sound approaching him at an alarming speed.

And When he looked up, he saw the body of the second junior attendant hurtling towards him.

Realizing he couldn't dodge it he could only stand as they crashed into each other, tumbling to the ground.

"Fuck, could you not have fallen on top of me?" the first attendant grumbled.

"Well, tell that to our master who's waiting for you!" the second attendant replied, lying exhausted on the ground.

"That old man is getting crazier by the day, tell me What made him send you flying too ?" the first attendant asked.

But before the second could reply, he noticed that his senior appeared to be buried Into the ground from the neck down, with only his head visible.

Before he could react, a sand snake emerged from the ground and stared at the first attendant with a sharp glare.

"So, I'm the one who's getting crazier, right?, Well, then I'll show you just what a tiny bit of crazy is, You shall stay like that for another 24 hours; that is your punishment,"

The Sand snake hissed before disintegrating back into the sand.

The first attendant remained perplexed at how the old man had been able to eavesdrop on their conversation and attack him from such a far distance.

He wondered if their manager was some kind of genius in disguise.

"So, Alec, where are we heading this time?, We definitely don't want to clash with the Orcs or plants. Not that we would even dare to try that , as we don't have all those Tier 4 mage cards up our sleeves again," Agnes said to Alec.

"And that is why we shall avoid their territories. The Crazy Root is furious about it losses and is trying to harm the interim leader of the Orcs, and since the main chief's health is still unknown at the moment he is at an advantage," Alec explained.

"As for now, we know that there are five regions in the outer range, and we are already not accepted in two of them – the Divine Tree region and the nearby Orc region, that alone is crazy record for just two visit to the Abyss " Agnes added.

"That leaves us open to the remaining three regions. Agnes, who rules those regions?" Alec inquired, prompting Agnes to bring out the map and lay it down as they examined the overlords of the remaining three regions.

In each of the five regions, an overlord reigns, typically represented by the dominant race that inhabits that particular territory.

However, it doesn't mean that other races cannot be found there.

Weaker members of a race often seek refuge under the protection of the strong ones of there race, leading to an abundant population in these regions.

As these weaker members reach higher realms, they become a valuable asset to the overlord, who no longer needs to oversee the region's affairs personally.

" Two more of the regions are controlled by High Orc village Chiefs, which means there are countless Orc villages in those regions, resulting in more enemies and battles."

" But here's the interesting part: the last region is ruled by a Beast king, and the species of that king is still unknown to this day," Agnes explained.

"All we know is that the beast king possesses control over the elements of fog and flames, and his region serves as a gathering place for all kinds of powerful beasts, whether in packs or hordes," Agnes continued.

"Furthermore, his region is divided by three circular lines. The first line represents low-ranking beasts, which we can face as long as we avoid detection from too many of them," Agnes elaborated.

"The second line consists of mid-tier demonic beasts, and only teams of mid-ranked mages should even attempt to contend with them, assuming they survive, as these beasts are said to possess intelligence,"

"And they are more dangerous than your average Demonic beasts, Only a few confident teams even dare to enter this part of the Beast King Region, The third circle represents the beasts just below the Beast King," Agnes continued.

"Each of these beasts holds a title and is able to speak human language, They can even morph into their humanoid form to some extent, They are the High-Level Beast Lords."

" And at the very core of the Beast Forest, where the overlord rests at the highest peak, That's where the overlord sleeps," Agnes explained, wrapping up her explanation of the Beast King region.

"So, what do you think?" Agnes asked, eager to hear Alec's thoughts.

"First of all, thank you for gathering all this information. But I believe we already have our answer regarding which region we should be heading to," Alec replied.

"Firstly, we can't be certain that the other two Orc regions are unaware of our previous actions. They would likely be on high alert and cautious against any potential attack."

" Secondly, our capabilities only allow us to threaten low-tier villages. These two regions have more Orcs than the region we were just exposed in and We would have to face multiple sub-captains and Orc shamans once again," Alec elaborated.

"If we encounter a formidable Orc squad, it's clear that we might not make it out alive, I don't think we're ready for that level of danger just yet, However, I promise you that we will eventually reach a point where we can storm into their regions without any resistance," Alec assured his team.

"For now, our main focus should be the Beast King Region, as Not only is it a prime hunting ground for experience, but it's also a place where we can acquire dead beast carcasses and Demonic beast power crystals, which can help us obtain new spirit equipment,"

Alec proposed, igniting a spark of anticipation in the eyes of every team member.

"Then what the hell are we waiting for?! Let's head to the Beast Forest!" Arthur shouted with excitement, raising his hands in the air.

He had learned his lesson from missing out on the opportunity to obtain a spirit equipment last time, due to him not having a primary weapon.

In fact, when Alec had advised him to find a weapon that truly suited him, initially, he considered getting a sword.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that a sword was not really what he desired.

He only relied on it because most of his chosen metal element spells were suited for that type of weapon and he could keep on using metal swords anyway, he saw no reasons why to make it his man weapon.

As truthfully, he had always been someone who preferred to fight with his fists.

Therefore, when Terran presented him with the dual golden gauntlet, he instantly recognized it as his ideal primary weapon.

Now, as he listened to Alec discussing the acquisition of another spirit equipment, he couldn't contain his excitement. He was certain that he might be among the first to receive one if the opportunity presented itself.

Even Brandon, who rarely spoke, seemed remarkably intrigued by the topic.

He too had realized just how beneficial spirit equipment could be, from watching Knight newly upgraded powers despite his lower realm.

Though he desired it and would love to ask Alec for one, he was not the type to shamelessly request something he hadn't earned.

Just as Arthur was eagerly approaching Alec.
