The Golem Mage

Chapter 245: Danger (4)(Spying).

It was already night time, and everyone was expected to be asleep except for those on lookout duty.

However, a part of the Wild Adventurer Group, now led by Kethra, was closing in on the area where the Gordons clan had set up their tents.

”I can’t hear any sounds coming from their tents, They should be sound asleep now, If we want to attack, we should do it now,”

one of the High Tier 3 Mages supporting Kethra said, He was someone who was very sensitive to sound, and he had been trying to listen for any signs of movement from the tent.

When he couldn’t hear anything, he felt confident that they were asleep.

”Hehehe, these newbies, Hopping around the Abyss without knowing the golden rule of the wilderness, which is always watching out for sneak attacks, What do you say we teach them how cruel the wilderness can be?” Kethra said with a sinister laugh.

All the mages around him began casting their strongest spells, including Kethra.

”Blast them to pieces!” he commanded.

Various spells flew towards the tents of the Gordons clan, obliterating them.

”Now all we have to do is wait for them to burn and then reap the benefits,”

Kethra laughed out loud.

”Damn you, you coward! You couldn’t even face them properly, You had to attack them like a coward!, in there sleep.”

James shouted at the top of his lungs, his anger rapidly building, He unsheathed his sword, preparing to charge at Kethra.

However, Kethra merely glanced at him, a smirk playing on his lips as his eyes gleamed with evil intent.

Bang!

James’ body was sent flying back, crashing into his tent and the tents of those who still followed him.

As he stood back up, rubbing his head in pain, he looked up to see an advanced-looking rune dome imprisoning them.

If he hadn’t rushed out just then, he wouldn’t have realized that they had been trapped.

”What the hell is this? ,wait!, Are you messing with me?, Where did you even find a Mid Rank Orb of Captivity to trap me?”

James demanded, his vision growing dim as a sense of foreboding washed over him.

He realised for Kethra to have the orb it was clear The Orb must have been prepared to use against him at a later time, but it seemed that the crystal power stone in Alec’s hand had some kind of special allure for Kethra, who didn’t hesitate to reveal one of his trump cards.

”Don’t even think for a second that I would let you wander free, especially knowing about my plans to eliminate your little buddies whom you’ve become so attached to since they saved your pitiful life ” Kethra taunted.

”I had a feeling you would want to help them, I’m not one to take risks if there was even a one percent chance of you supporting them, It would jeopardize everything I’ve planned,” Kethra explained.

”And that’s why you’re being imprisoned, rest assured that was my last Orb of captivity, I was lucky to acquire it in a bonus deal from my instructor, So, those people are my main priority,” Kethra stated confidently as he pointed at the burning tents.

”Why are you so obsessed with that attribute stone?, It’s not like you can use it, And what kind of payment could make you endure so many losses?”

James questioned, still perplexed by Kethra’s behavior.

”Tsk! My dear old leader, you’re as naive as ever, You don’t know much about attribute stones, Let me enlighten you.”

”They not only strengthen your awakened affinity elements that have the same affinity with them but also have the potential to awaken another element or special ability through continuous absorption,” Kethra explained impatiently.

”And let me tell you, the attribute stone our friend has is the best I’ve seen so far, It’s powers are so concentrated that I have no doubt I’ll be able to awaken a new power soon,” Kethra revealed.

”How can you be so sure that you’ll be able to awaken another ability if you use it?, There’s a high chance you’re just bluffing,” James gritted his teeth, skeptical of Kethra’s claims.

Kethra smirked in response before turning back to face James.

”You know me better than that, old buddy, I never take risks unless I’m absolutely certain, I don’t bluff, And even if I can’t awaken the power now, I’ll embark on an Orc Shaman hunt until I complete the process and unlock a new power, I won’t rest until then!”

Kethra explained confidently, it was clear that the allure of the attributed stone had drove his greed to higher level.

”Although it’s said to be a challenging method, it has been confirmed as valid. I’m willing to take such a risk if that’s what’s needed,”

Kethra continued, shocking James in the process, He had never been aware of such information, realizing just how much he lacked compared to Kethra in knowledge of the academy and why he had lost control of his group.

”Oh, so that’s the reason why?”

a familiar voice spoke, causing a variety of expressions among the group, James’ group, still trapped in the Mid Rank Orb of Captivity, showed joy and excitement, while Kethra’s group wore expressions of disappointment and frustration.

Just a few meters behind them, the younger generation of the Gordons clan from the War God Mage Academy watched from above a tree , some sitting, some standing, and some leaning against a nearby tree branch.

Alec rested his chin on his hand, lost in deep thought, which only served to further infuriate Kethra.

”How is it that all of you are supposed to be dead?, I had two separate surveillance measures in place., You didn’t escape through the front tents or any other tents” Kethra furrowed his brow, perplexed.

But Knight grinned and replied, ”Someone was spying on us, I suppose.”
