The Golem Mage

Chapter 481 481: Ability???.

The reason Alec no longer referred to it as a Mana pool again was straightforward: he had obliterated it countless times while practicing the latest technique from the book passed down by the patriarch of the Gordons clan and now his body is no longer restricted to a small pool but now his hole body was acting as his Mana pool.

But he did have the systemʼs assistance which was why he had survived such an experience,

But the reason Alecʼs had been quick to catch on was largely due to his deep familiarity with the two particular runes, the earth rune, in the middle had a sign shaped like a bullet, and that is when he realised ; these runes were the manifestation of his innate spells when he advanced to Tier 2.

When he had broken through to Tier 3, instead of discarding them to create new Tier 3 innate spells, they evolved, sparing Alec the need to replace his innate abilities, and he was quite content with this; as he didnʼt often use the flaming aura, but he was fond of the Terra bullet, perhaps because it gave him the sensation of firing a gun.

At that moment, the runes disintegrated into countless particles of elemental light and separated from each other, although the system spirit had explained the process to him, and he had read about it in books, but witnessing an element or power evolve to the Mid-rank with his own eyes was an unparalleled experience.

All this time, as he had entered the Tier 4 Mage Realm, but only his body had received the baptism of the breakthrough, not his elements.

This was because he had been delaying his awakening, but now, it could be said that he was truly stepping into the Mid-rank, as not only his body but also his spirit and energy was crossing the threshold.

Alec watched the two particles of elemental energy, representing both fire and earth, as they began to take shape, On one side, the earth element started to form what looked like a small mountain, surrounded by countless gemstones and crystals orbiting it, he guessed the reason for the orbiting stones where because of his gravity Manipulation that was linked to the earth element.

On the other side, Alec observed a massive orb of flames pulsating, it left him wondering if the ball of flame was merely fire, as it gave him the impression of a beating heart. He pushed that thought aside, not wanting to jump to conclusions.

Alec began to sense that something was amiss when the stars in the sky started to shoot countless elemental particles of fire and earth straight at the two projections representing his affinities.

The projections greedily absorbed these elemental particles as if they had been starved for a long time, although the sensation was new to him, Alec could feel a surge of power at that very moment, as the projections of his affinity elements voraciously consumed the energy directed at them.

It took about a minute before Alec witnessed a bolt of flame and a long bolt of earth essence being shot from both projections toward him, who was positioned at the center of the space.

Initially, he thought it was an attack on his soul, but when the stream of earth essence and the bolt of flames touched him, he closed his eyes, realizing it was not an attack but an enlightenment an advanced understanding of his elements and the extent to which he could now manipulate them.

As the projections of his two elements devoured the particles of energy, Alecʼs body was providing them to ascend to the next realm, they ensured that some type of docile, refined elemental energy was returned to Alec, enhancing his control and execution of them.

While Alec was immersed in his microcosmic universe, absorbing the influx of elemental knowledge being imprinted upon him, his physical body was levitating in the inn. His golems and the system spirit, were now watching him with grim expressions, as they clearly understood the gravity of the situation.

Alecʼs body was at the center of a tremendous internal struggle, as a vast black hole formed above his head, drawing in all the fire and earth elemental particles in the air.

However, that wasnʼt sufficient; so it began to pull in energy particles from the surrounding atmosphere, resulting in a massive influx of elemental particles being drawn into the room.

And Alec had not anticipated such a dramatic event, as he believed that his awakening would be a minor occurrence, since he had already had his breakthrough.

It was clear that Alec had miscalculated, as there was no way that he would have predicted that every one within the nearest five hundred meters could notice the extraordinary events unfolding around the inn.

As the major elemental particles of earth and flame were being drawn toward the inn, depleting the mana in the air.

Inside Alecʼs microcosmic universe

Alec could sense that both his elements were solidifying, and he was nearing the end of his awakening, as he had gained a wealth of new information about how his elements had evolved, but as he anticipated being expelled from the space, he suddenly felt a deep connection.

Not just one connection, but two strands of mana were leading him into the dark space, he gazed at the two solidified elements before he began flying toward the source of the beckoning call.

After what seemed like an hour of flight, Alec finally reached the first entity that had drawn him in— it was a shining star adorned with countless demonic beast faces.

He could almost swear he had seen something similar before, perhaps the scroll of the Beast Forest and Alec couldnʼt comprehend how a power related to the Beast Forest could manifest within his space, but the more he observed the star, the more agitated it became, until it collided with Alec, propelling him back to the original location he came from.

As he hurtled through space at the speed of sound, he noticed a black flame dashing toward him, and then he realized the source of the second pull. It was the black flame, despite not frequently using his flame element, his affinity for flame was evidently so strong that even a powerful black flame had sought him out.

The shining star, with its myriad beast faces, and the colossal black flame seemed to reach some form of agreement as they dragged Alec back to the main space.

When Alec was thrown back to the center of his microcosmic universe, he witnessed the black flame merging with the huge red ball of flame that was beating like a heart. As they intertwined, one part of the huge fireball emitted scorching red flames, while the other side exuded an eerie dark presence.

Alec smiled as he observed the new elements, now voraciously consuming more energy, but It still took another hour before Alec regained consciousness in his inn room.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was greeted with numerous notifications and a worried expression from the system spirit.

”If you truly do not like attention, I think itʼs time we disappear from this city and regroup with the rest of your team ,” the system spirit golem suggested, peering outside the windows to see a legion of city guard mages surrounding the inn.

”Oni, itʼs up to you!” Alec commanded without even asking what happened as he could feel the heavy presence of the elemental particles in the air, as closed his system interface in the hope of making a swift escape.

Oni then summoned the shadow in the room to engulf them all, and they vanished from the room like they were never there.
