The Golem Mage

a swirling portal of darkness engulfed them, enabling their escape after they crushed the void space stone.

The Third Elder watched as the assassin mages vanished into the void, his body throbbing with pain from his wounds.

Yet, despite his injuries and the toll the battle had taken on him, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that his clansmen were safe, even after being attacked by a Tier 8 mage.

” The Gordons clans are invincible!!!” he shouted at the top of his voice before collapsing on the ground his eyes closed shut, he was already at the end of his road, He was just pushing forward with the little will power he had

With a deep breath, the Patriarch called upon his Mana strength flinging the Third Elder away before resuming flight towards the escaping mages.

The Patriarch of the Gordons clan,showed that he was a figure of authority and power for the first time, he soared through the sky with grace, his eyes fixed on his target,for the first time he was not bothered with hiding his power .

He closed the distance quickly and he channeled his remaining Mana into the potent Earth elements in the air, shaping it into a swirling tempest of blades.

With a mighty swing of his Black katana that mysterious appeared , he summoned forth a tempest of sharp, Golden Earth projectiles that soared towards the void portal.

The projectiles tore through the void, creating a deafening roar as they rent the fabric of darkness.

Blinded by the sudden assault, the mages were caught off guard and struggled to maintain the portal’s stability.

The relentless barrage forced them to retreat further into the void, their escape plans shattered.

Feeling a surge of determination, the Patriarch summoned more of his energy to propel himself forward at an incredible speed.

With each passing moment, he grew closer to his prey, The mages, panicked and realized the gravity of their situation, frantically attempted to repair the crumbling portal.

With a final burst of power, George reached the mages just as their portal began to falter,He lunged towards them, his Katana glowing with a pulsating energy, ready to strike a decisive blow.

” Leave your life” he said his voice producing a chilling feeling to the two mages skin as he creeps them out, the mental image of the black golem appeared again behind him

However, in a final desperate act, the mages managed to stabilize the portal just long enough to slip through and vanish into the void.

Frustration and disappointment washed over the Patriarch, as he watched his targets escape, disappearing beyond his reach.

he hovered in the air for a moment, catching his breath and reflecting on the battle, Despite not achieving a total victory, he knew he had done everything in his power to stop the ambushers, he was just unlucky that they had space stones but it still made him mad when he remembered the state his brother is in.

” Ahhhhjhhh!!!!!” His voice travelled throw the void spreading towards the clan mages nearby that have already escaped the battlefield as they were suprised at the Gordons patriarch show of strength

With a heavy heart, the Patriarch descended back to the ground, where his injured Brother collapse.

But as he was checking the Third Elder’s condition he noticed another wave of energy moving towards his Grandson, his face changed instantly

The blood colored battlefield lay silent, only the distant echoes spel being casted reverberating through the air.

One of the three Tier 8 Mage who was responsible for sealing the city decided to move and kill Alec, since killing Alec was actually there main mission and he was willing to risk the fact that the Patriarch was far away to make his move and complete the main mission before going as he does not want to leave empty handed

He held his blade high, ready to deliver the final blow to Alec Gordons, The air was thick with tension and fear as Alec prepared to Run, the Red Salamander tattoos shining as he summoned the Armor set since he was sure he would not survive even an attack from the mage

But just as the Tier 8 mage was about to strike, a rumble shook the ground behind him, causing him to falter for a split second.

With lightning agility and reflexes, he swiftly turned around, narrowing his eyes to identify the source of the disturbance.

”gat you”

To his shock, the silhouette of the Gordons clan Patriarch emerged from the gaping cavity in the earth after he had used the Earth escaped skill of his, the assassin Mage cursed at his bad luck, he totally forgot about the Gordons Patriarch special skill , George raised his katana glinting ominously in his hand.

The Earth elements hummed and twisted around the him, amplifying his power and determination.

He had sensed the impending danger to Alec and had wasted no time in intervening.

As a master of earth elements, the Patriarch’s arrival disrupted the Tier 8 mage’s plan entirely, turning the tables of favors

Alec’s heart soared with gratitude, seeing his grandfather come to his rescue, he have always seen his old man as someone unreliable but for the first time He knew that his chances of survival increased exponentially because of his grandfather’s presence.

” Get out of here fast, leave this to me” the Patriarch Cold voice reached Alec’s ears and waking him up from his daze state

------

The Tier 8 mage, though caught off guard, was no pushover, since the Patriarch only had a Tier 7 mage aura he quickly regained his composure and engaged in a fierce battle with the Patriarch.

Clang!! Swish!!!

The clash of sword against sword reverberated through the battlefield, each strike sending powerful shockwaves in every direction.

Despite his best efforts, the Tier 8 mage found himself out matched, he was suprised that he was being outmatched by A Tier 7 mage

He really felt that there is something wrong with the Gordons clan bloodline, the Patriarch’s years of experience and immense power proved to be too much for him to handle alone.

Blow after blow, the Tier 8 mage’s defenses crumbled, his body battered and bloodied from the relentless assault, though the Patriarch too had injuries on him but he still fought valiantly like he didn’t care about his life and this type of fighting style scared the assassin Mage as he was not ready to fight to the death with the Gordons clan Mage.

The gap in strength between them was visible to all, and the Gordons clan’s determination to protect their own fueled their fierce resolve.

Powerless against the Patriarch’s might, the Tier 8 mage’s comrades, realizing the futility of the situation and activated a void space stone and disappeared as the black portal covered them

Leaving their companion at the mercy of the relentless assault, They cared only about their own survival.

”Leave your life here” the patriarch said as he swung his katana sideways before using the hilt to hit the mage hand as he was about to cast a spell disrupting the process

”Arggghh!!!” the mage scream as his injuries escalated and his internal organs was in disarray, he had not given up hope of escaping as he quickly removed his void stone and was about to break it but a brown coloured slash passed by and sliced his hands off

” dammn ”

The Mage cried out in pains

” I said leave your life behind don’t think of even escaping, I won’t make the same mistakes I made with you colleagues”

The patriarch said as he raised his sword up high and was about to slash down

” don’t you dare kill him George, we need information and from the look of things he is the only one valuable enough to really know the inner details of the attack against us this time , we need him alive to get all those information, killing him would solve anything ”

The Grand Elder’s voice travelled to the Patriarch who still had his hand high in the sky, after contemplating on the grands Elder’s words he later returned his Black katana back to it’s sheath

The Mage sighed in relief, only to see the scabbard moved towards his head but it was too late for him to dodge as it knocked him unconscious

” There you go you can have him, clear up all this, I would go check up on old Third I think his injuries are serious this Time” the Patriarch said as he moved back toward the Third Elder

While the Grand Elder sighed in relief that even when the Patriarch switch off his emotions and changed to the cold personality he was still able to keep a rational mind.
