The Golem Mage

”Finally, he has left the academy, Now, what should our next move be?”

The lightning Mage, tasked with informing Terran of his deployment, turned to the other Mage beside him, This Mage, also wearing a sky blue robe with an instructor badge on his waist, replied with confidence.

”Let’s wait for him to fully leave the academy first, because my next move in this chess game will be Incredibly ruthlessly ”

The Mage in the sky blue robe said, his face covered by a mysterious blue mist, The lightning Mage stood there, stunned by his companion’s statement.

”Wait!, Do you think Terran has always been our main target?, No, he is merely a pawn in the bigger game, These moves we’re making are just meant to eliminate obstacles like Terran, My true target is the Mad Dog!”

the Mage continued, dismissing Terran as a mere stepping stone.

”Now that Terran is out of the way, I will make plans to rid ourselves of all the Mad Dog’s loyalists,” the Mage with the mist-covered face declared, But the lightning Mage still had concerns.

”Sorry, but we also need to do something about Terran’s disciples, He has about ten of them, although his top disciple is never present in the academy and always in the second Dimension,” the lightning Mage explained.

”We can arrange for an assassination on him, while taking care of the other nine students here at the academy, The news of their deaths at their peak will bring me great joy,” the lightning Mage said with a fierce glint in his eyes.

”You shall not do anything of the sort!”

the Mage with the mist-covered face suddenly interjected.

”Hmm!”

The lightning Mage was taken aback by this unexpected statement, This other Mage, the one shrouded in the sky blue fog, was usually the one insisting on eliminating all loose ends and leaving no tiger cub alive while striking down its parents.

”We will still deal with them, Just not with your approach, You’ve tried to kill Terran Top disciple before, and I’m sure you’ve failed, He has become resilient and has escaped almost every time,”

the Mage in the sky blue robe responded, emphasizing the need for a different strategy.

”I think we can afford to leave him for now, But if you insist on attacking him, then you should only send several people from the top fifty of the Earth Board ranking,”

the Mage with the concealed face suggested, leaving the lightning Mage shocked, He had already thought that sending a mage from the top hundred was generous enough for Terran’s number one disciple, but now his superior was suggesting multiple mages from the top fifty.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have mages in the top 50 under their command, but sending more than one posed risks.

If anything were to go wrong during the attack, their unknown faction could be exposed, However, when he imagined over three top 50 mages in the Earth Board ranking going after a mage who was said to be on par with Orion, who had just entered the lower rankings of the top 100, he felt reassured that nothing would go wrong.

He could only assume that Terran’s number one disciple would meet his demise.

”But what about the rest of Terran’s disciples?, We can’t leave them alive, If we do, I fear that Mad Dog might recruit them if they lose their master and senior,”

the lightning Mage voiced his concerns, The Mage with the concealed appearance put a hand to his chin, deep in thought.

”Send them to the second Dimension and ensure they encounter an attacking squad, Find a way to make them lost there, so they become sitting ducks waiting to be killed,”

the concealed Mage suggested. The lightning Mage’s face showed shock as he looked at the hidden figure.

”But... But... They are only Tier 2 mages and haven’t even received special lessons about the space passage, If I’m not mistaken, the minimum recommended realm has always been Tier 3 peak mages,” the lightning Mage protested.

”Don’t worry about all the protocols, Just do what you’re meant to do and help me pass them through the space passage leading to the orc cities’ coordinates, I will ensure that you face no obstacles in getting them through,”

the concealed Mage affirmed, assuring the lightning Mage that everything would be taken care of.

The concealed Mage stated, and the lightning Mage let out a defeated sigh, All he had to do was follow orders, even though he knew that this Mage he had been assigned to by his father’s faction had many connections in the academy, However, he never expected that this Mage would be so powerful as to send a batch of Tier 2 mages through a forbidden space passage.

Just one day after Terran left the academy, Arthur had finally gained a small mastery over the skill tome that his master had given him.

However, Knight still faced a few challenges, Nevertheless, he was getting closer to having a basic mastery over his own skill tome, Alec wasted no time in using the iron bracers on both his arms and feet.

Even with the lowest weight setting on the iron bracers, Alec felt an immense amount of pressure, equivalent to experiencing ten times gravity, Although wearing the iron bracers caused him extreme discomfort, his master had assured him that it would help resolve his power control problems, so he decided to give it a try.

The whole group was on their way to the announcement board, hoping that Instructor Walter had returned and would continue his last class.

Normally, Agnes would easily gather such information, but Alec was being extra cautious now that his master wasn’t around.

Alec had warned them about leaving the peak, emphasizing that if they were ever going to leave, they should all leave together.

In fact, they made it a point to have their meals together in the food sector, While others might not understand why Alec insisted on this, it was because he still felt on edge.

Although it wasn’t intense, he had a premonition that something was about to happen to them, and he preferred for them to face it together.

And so, they all walked down the peak together, heading towards the announcement board in the hopes of receiving good news. However, while they were on their way down, anticipating positive updates, there was someone else approaching them with the intention of delivering bad news.
