He realized he was close to level four and would have an extra three attribute points; he had been contemplating where to put his accessible attribute points.
He had left his attribute point untouched, hoping that there would come a time when he would need it.
Ever since his agility passed the ten mark, he discovered that not even the zombies could scratch him.
He was untouchable to the unclassified and (low) Tier 1 zombies because his agility stats improved his foot speed, battle awareness, and reaction speed.
It made him realize things were much more accessible. Now that he was sure how to improve his following stats, he planned to increase his strength and endurance stats to reach the ten mark and see what might happen.
But before that, he had something much better to do; He planned to officially evolve one of his level 0 golems to enter the (low) Tier 1 realm.
This would give it the same power as a (low) Tier 1 mage; with the equipment, Alec would craft for the new golem, it wouldn't even have a hard time exchanging blows with a (mid) Tier 1 mage.
Alec spread his golems out in a semicircle as they kept killing zombies and acting as vanguards. Meanwhile, he turned and faced the Lanzt clan members.
" You all are required to shoot at least one wind blade every minute to relieve the stress on my golems and clansmen," Alec said.
"Not only that, but it will help you recover your mana much faster; after all, someone is helping you keep them at a distance."
"And why should we listen to Gordon's family members about what to do?" one of the arrogant Lanzt family members shouted from behind, not brave enough to show his face.
The white-haired boy leading them felt his lips tremble as he cursed the person who talked in his mind.
"Well, I don't mind breaking out of here again and waiting for your men to run out of mana while the zombies make you their meal," Alec retorted.
"After all, our mission was just to kill all the zombies in this area to the point they are no longer a threat. We never received any orders to protect some arrogant second-generation children who can't handle their battles."
Alec said harshly as he looked at the zombies, almost overwhelming his golems with their sheer numbers.
"Hey, assist the golems with your stone bullets! Don't just stand here and look like an observer; if I lose even one of those stone golems, you'll have a handful from me; after all, I spent a lot to raise them to this level,"
Alec said, facing his clan members who broke through the zombie encirclement with him.
Agnes's lips trembled, but she listened to his orders like the rest and released stone bullets.
Most of them might think Alec was talking about the materials and techniques he used in cultivating the golems, but they needed to be corrected.
Alec could make another golem to replace one that spoiled, but they would have a different battle awareness than those who learned the spear techniques.
They definitely wouldn't be close to killing 100 zombies and being eligible for evolution, so Alec made sure not to lose any of his golems as they were already close to the Tier 1 golem realm.
The stone bullet was one of Earth's most valuable spells as it required less mana and had almost instant casting, making it easy to learn and use.
They might always have mana if they kept their circulation technique on while using stone bullets.
But it was only helpful against unclassified zombies; higher-level zombies had more problematic skin, and the stone bullets of Agnes and the rest wouldn't be able to penetrate their muscular armor, let alone hurt them.
However, if someone has cultivated the stone bullet magic skill to a high level, it might threaten tier 2 life forms.
"Errm, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Brandon asked Alec as he nervously moved closer to him.
Alec wrapped his hands around Brandon's shoulders and looked into his eyes.
"We are family; I don't think you should have any problems telling me what you want to talk about,” Alec reassured him as he drew him closer for a brotherly hug.
"I'm not good with the stone bullet spell; even my casting takes time. I'm more of a vanguard type of mage, just like your golems," Bradon said.
"Whoa, you're one of the few mages I know who are interested in wanting to throw their life away instead of just raining down spells from a distance,"
Another Lantz family member said. Alec looked at him with such cold eyes that he shut up instantly in defeat, not daring to say anything more.
He waited to hear what Alec would tell Brandon from his group from their group.
Alec used his inspection skills on Bradon after hearing what he said.
[Gordon Bradon]
Level : (Low) Tier 1 ( 70/100 )till the next realm
Race: Human
Battle Power: 75
Affinity: Earth (peak)
[ Specialized skills ]
-Earth spear (lvl 4)
- Earth compression (level 2)
Alec was surprised to see Bradon's affinity for the earth element at its peak.
It was an eye-opener for Alec, as he had been unaware of a level beyond high affinity; clearly, there would also be others in the outside world with peak affinity.
"Kid, you're talented; you can stand at the front with the golems. I'll make sure they give you space so you can join up near Titan," Alec said.
"That way, you can be protected. I don't want to lose a golem, but I would hate myself even more if I lost a clan member," he added.
Bradon's eyes welled up with tears as Alec's words touched him deeply.
"Don't hesitate to use your earth spear spell; after all, it's the spell you're best at," Alec exclaimed.
"How did you know..."
Bradon began to ask, wanting to know how Alec knew about his best spell, But Alec cut him off, not giving him a chance to speak, realizing he had revealed something from the information provided by the system.
"As the leader, I must know about all my future partners,"
Alec quickly replied, using his lying skills.
"Now go demonstrate the power of the Gordon's younger generation,"
Alec patted Bradon's back as he sent him away; he looked at the others and noticed that despite being vastly outnumbered by the zombies, his group could still hold their own.
Their killing rate increased with Bradon joining them, wielding a large sword made from earth elements.
Meanwhile, most of the zombies were being slaughtered by Titan. It couldn't even be called killing, as he could take down multiple zombies with a swing of his mace or a dash forward with his shield.
[ Earth Golem ]
Name: Titan
Level: 5 [ can be upgraded (740/1000)]
Realm : (Low) Tier 1
Rank: rare
Strength: 25
Agility: 14
Endurance: 22.
[ Skills]
× Mace mastery level 3
× Blocking mastery lvl 4
× spearmanship mastery level 5 ( does not belong to Titan. Must use a spear constantly to assimilate properly with this skill)
The improvement Titan witnessed was shocking; he was even more potent than Alec.
Leaving his master in the dust, Alec didn't know much about the level system, but he was sure that Titan was close to being a mid-tier golem.
With the attributes of his crafted earth weapon, Titan might even be able to go head-to-head against a peak-tier zombie.
In this moment, Alec finally witnessed the power of having a higher-ranking golem; It was like a genius among other golems, capable of jumping realms to fight those stronger than itself.
Alec was okay with his spear skills since he witnessed their improvement. Titan already excelled in mace mastery and blocking mastery, so there was no need to make him drop his mace for spearmanship.
Turning to the Lanzt family, Alec was finally ready to confront them.
"Now, are you all ready to listen to me, or should I turn my back and wait for you all to die so my boys and I can take all the credit for wiping out the zombies you must have weakened further?" Alec threatened them.
Before any of the Lanzt family's younger generation could show their ugly attitude again, a guy at the front walked out and extended his hand for a handshake.
"Hi, my name is Bryan Lanzt," the white-haired boy introduced himself.
"I'm Alec Gordon. Are you sure your guys are ready to cooperate?" Alec shook his hand.
"Yes, we can only survive this by working together," Bryan replied.
"Don't be too sure of that," Alec said, smirking, which gave Bryan the feeling that he wasn't bluffing.
