The Golem Mage

The appearance of the Minotaur was a surprising twist for all the mages present.

Normally, the city had been regularly sieged by Orcs, so the sudden appearance of a different race caught everyone off guard.

The War God Mage Academy had received coordinates indicating an increase in energy from the space gate.

Initially, they had assumed it was one of the generals from the Orc villages being deployed.

So When the opposing faction of mad dog requested the deployment of Terran a key disciple of Mad Dog , renowned for his expertise in killing orcs, there was no hesitation in approving it.

Terran never backed down from a challenge, especially when it came to fighting orcs.

In fact, he had dispatched so many of them that he was wanted by numerous Orc villages, much to the Academy’s awareness.

However, there seemed to be a slight management mix-up, as the race that emerged was one with similar battle power to the orcs.

Yet, the Minotaurs were feared for a different reason.

They belonged to the demi-human race of the second dimension and had multiple races subservient to them.

Every battle they engaged in always escalated into a large-scale conflict, but the orcs were a different story.

They had difficulty getting along with most other races, except for goblins, ogres, and their subordinates, the kobolds.

This lack of camaraderie proved to be a weakness for their race.

The Orcs had an abundance of chieftains, leading to conflicting orders and a disjointed army.

But Before the newly emerged Minotaur even had a chance to make a move, Terran took the initiative.

He urged his mount forward, a brown-furred wolf creature that let out a mighty Howl as Terran swung his sword towards the Minotaur.

Like a group of dolphins leaping from a pool, shards of earth of varying sizes and sharpness shot out from the ground, soaring towards the Minotaur.

However, the Minotaur effortlessly deflected each shard by rotating his Massive War Hammer generating a powerful force.

The Minotaur extended his left hand, creating a grabbing motion that resulted in a transparent, energy-like substance moving towards Terran.

The force was strong, causing Terran to feel a powerful tug.

The force directed towards him was so powerful that even Terran’s wolf mount struggled to maintain its ground.

Slowly, it inched closer to the direction of the minotaur, indicating the immense strength behind the force.

”Hmmp!”

Terran snorted as he swung his sword towards the ground, activating his gravity force field and breaking free from the Minotaur’s influence.

”Minotaurs are creatures who thrive on direct combat,”

Instructor Walter remarked beside Terran.

”Despite their affinity for flame and metal elements, their raw strength gives rise to a distinct energy called force, that’s different from either Mana or Qi, It is domineering and overbearing.”

” The stronger the Minotaur, the stronger their thirst for a worthy battle, Even though they expend so much energy, they do not send out weaklings to gain ground, Instead, one of their leaders steps forward to fight, This shows just how warlike these creatures are, much like orcs and their love for battle.”

Instructor Walter shared all the basic knowledge he possessed about minotaurs, but what still puzzled him was the fact that the orcs allowed someone to use the primary space gate used for invading the Earth realm.

Had there been any conflict between the two races before, the academy would have discovered it much sooner in the second Dimension.

This suggested that the Minotaurs must have paid a great price to gain the orcs’ permission to use the gate, The involvement of the orcs puzzled Walter.

He couldn’t fathom how long they would be allowing the Minotaurs to use the gate or what reasons they had for such cooperation, especially considering the vast number of subordinate races the minotaurs had under their command.

Unlike the orcs, the Minotaurs didn’t even need to attack to obtain resources.

Tribute was given to them willingly by their subordinates who led the invasions on the Earth realm.

As Walter thought about all that had happened since they reached the city of Latvia, and Instructor Walter couldn’t shake off his growing suspicions.

First, the city lord’s silent death due to poisoning after a prolonged illness.

Though the old man must have detected the poison at its final stage, there was nothing he could do.

And now, the change in ownership of the space gate, which had remained in the same hands for over a hundred years, Walter was starting to trust Terran’s intuition.

”If you are done testing the waters, why not come closer and see if you can strike me down, human?”

The Minotaur taunted, stepping forward, His heated breath emitted from his nostrils, and a visible domain appeared around him as he continued to advance.

The sight sent a shiver of fear through the mages present in the city, as they finally realized the Tier of creature they were facing.

Even Maze, with a serious expression on his face, had already summoned his wand, prepared to cast spells to protect his clan members behind him.

His intention to make his clan retreat was evident from the hand signs he began to make.

Terran, who had already suspected Maze’s motives, noticed his actions were far too quick.

”That Minotaur is a (Mid) Tier 8, and it has a fully formed domain, I swear on my life, it might even be on the verge of becoming a (High) Tier 8 lifeform soon,” Terran quietly informed his comrades.

Keith, the second leader of the city mages, observed the worried expressions on the faces of the city guardians and the city guards leaders.

It was apparent that the entire city lacked a Tier 8 mage capable of facing the enemy.

The city lord, who typically handled such situations, hadn’t been seen for about a week now(they were unaware he is dead) .

They were certain that no matter how many of them attempted to confront the Tier 8 Minotaur, they would still be unable to bring it down.

The power gap between Tiers was just too immense.

”Walter, I would leave the mages from our academy in your capable hands,” Terran spoke with a sense of trust.

”You have more experience than me in leading a group of mages and controlling a battlefield, As for me, I’ve always been a fighter, and that’s what I’ll continue to be.”

”take care of any other beings that come out of that gate,I will handle that bull.” Terran added.

Keith’s face reflected shock as he heard Terran’s statement.

He even felt that Terran was willingly sacrificing himself at this moment.

Though Terran had a record of defeating (low) Tier 8 lifeforms, if he were to fight a mid Tier 8 mage who had awakened a domain, Keith couldn’t envision anything other than death awaiting him.

However, Maze, for once , showed no change in his facial expressions; it was as if he was eagerly anticipating Terran throwing himself at the creature.
