The Golem Mage

A week has passed after the last Blood Moon Battle and while the whole city have already fallen into a peaceful one, the Clan House of the Gordons clan was different as they still seems to have not recovered from the previous war

The air of the whole clan was heavy as the Patriarch that was know to always play around and make fun of the clan members with a smile on his face have not been seen since after that day

He had been cooped up in the same room as his brother the Third Elder not bothering to come out, he blamed himself for what have happened.

Draco had gone back into close door cultivation and Alec have thrown himself into training and crafting till he was drained

Not only does he perform the daily mission of the Blood Reaper but he also make sure to take extra training as he performs his grandfather’s katana techniques also,

He was practically pushing him body to the limit, and he had not even thought of checking up on his Golems that have reach the evolution stage.

Neither did he bother to even breakthrough to the Tier 2 Mage realm, he totally forgot himself in training and crafting

He had made sure to attend the burial ceremony of the Gordons clan this time, since he was aware of there loses and was not clueless to think that they came out unscathed just because he performed beautiful in the Tier 1 battlefield

Knight and Agnes really wanted to stop Alec and tell him that all would be alright but the moment they got close to him and they heard the words that came out of his mouth they could only

Helplessly leave his courtyard

” am so weak!!!, I could not do anything!!!, if only I was stronger, I would kill all there leaders and make the smaller ranking goblins run in fear !!! ”

His obsession to become stronger was not something they could interfere with and the Patriarch was not even around to talk some senses into him

But while Alec was still striving to become stronger there was unexpected revelation that happened to another member of the group

Arthur finally found out that he still had family relations in the clan and the Third Elder was his Grandfather, when the Grand Elder had delivered the message to him he was unaware

Of how he was supposed to feel, he was conflicted on if he should be mad at the old man or strive to get revenge for him, all the time he had spent in the castle of the Third Elder when he was trying to learn his basic golem techniques

He had thought the man hated him, there were countless times when he had been spanked by a mysterious golden sword and he was the one that never got any compliments even if he performed better

Now that he thought about it, the main reason he had been picked on the most was probably because he was the man’s blood relative

He was not even given the time to take in all that have happened to him and have been asked to come over to the Third Elder’s Castle as there where things left there for him to inherit

It was said that the third elder have probably left alot of goodies for him incase anything ever happens to him, he was Hellbent in not letting his legacy die there and even if he had alot disciples over the years

None of them have been able to reach the Golden Golem crafting, the most exceptional ones have only been able to reach the silver golem level, there talent couldn’t match to the Third Elder that used countless years to bring his techniques to the peak of the golden refining

And it has been confirmed that his bloodline would have an easier time crafting a Golden Golem since before he even married he had forge golden bones and gaining a Golden body constitution

This is another rare body constitution among the Gordons clan that only few have been able to awake and that was why he had a very acute control over his power and a mad physical power to go with it

His body constitution has been what had made his Metal Element manipulation to reach the very peak even better than his innate earth element , so his child had inherit part a half forged golden bone when he was born which made his own forging of the golden bones more effective than the those who just started after they got the Advance Cultivation Technique from TheThird Elder as being the child of the third Elder itself seems to come with some benefits .

Now Arthur has been brought back to the Third Elder castle as his heir and the Elder’s main cultivation techniques of Golden bone forging have been passed to him as they hope he would continue the old man’s legacy

since he was still in a coma state so they had to prepare for anything, if it was before Arthur became aware of the fact that the Third Elder was his Grandfather he might have been happy to have such a top level cultivation technique that have been created by such a genuis land on his lap

But instead he felt a big emptyness inside of him and a very large feeling of sadness welled up inside him as he became the successor of the Third castle like that.

While Alec and Arthur seems to be tied up with there personal activities, Brandon wasted no time to returning to his father to continue his training as he wanted to breakthrough and consolidate his realm fast before the next time Alec called for them again

He finally realised that ever since they started getting stronger it seems they were spending less time together, and he felt if he fell behind then he might not even be able to walk with them again so he put more pressure on himself.

The atmosphere in the Grand Hall of the Gordons Clan was heavy with anticipation and concern, it was the place where The Third Elder, who had been in a comatose state for a week now stayed , he lay still on the bed, surrounded by anxious Patriach and two other elder of the clan

The First elder gently tugged on the patriarch’s sleeve to get his attention.

” The Grand Elder asked for you, should I inform him that you’re occupied with the Third Elder?

” No Please, let him in ”

The First Elder nodded and walked towards the entrance, and he guided the Grand Elder of the clan, inside the hall.

The level of seriousness on the Grand Elder’s face sent a shiver through the room.

” George , I have come to speak with you.”

”What is the matter, Why such urgency?” the Patriarch asked with a concerned look on his face

The Grand Elder took a deep breath, his eyes determined before he continued

” I have decided that I will no longer suppress my cultivation, I wouldn break through and become a Tier 7 Mage, entering the realm of high-ranking mages, so that they would be one more high rank mages to protect the clan in the future”

Silence filled the room as all eyes turned towards the patriarch, expecting him to dissuade his brother from this risky decision.

But to everyone’s surprise, the patriarch simply nodded his head in acceptance.

” I understand” for the first time since the third Elder’s incident they saw the Patriarch smiled slowly

The Grand Elder’s eyes widened, his anticipation quickly replaced by confusion.

” I thought you would try to talk me out of it, just like you did with our other brothers, Why the sudden acceptance?” the Grand Elder was baffled at George’s decision

He had always said that too much high ranking mages in the clan would lead to too much attention and the Gordons clan was really persistent in avoiding attention, but they just always seems to be caught up in it.

The patriarch’s smile faded slightly as he spoke, revealing a mixture of sorrow and determination.

” I cannot bear to witness another brother of mine fall into a coma or, worse, lose their life.”
