The Golem Mage

Chapter 544 544: Damage.

”Young lady Selene, I am but a humble mercenary unworthy of your attention, my services were hired to kidnap both Alec and Pale without any disturbances, but little did I anticipate the sensitivity and perceptiveness of the little mages under you,” the skeleton masked figure confessed.

”The moment our harmless group of mercenaries entered, we were immediately attacked, we had no choice but to defend ourselves,” he continued, causing both Selene and Alec to be taken aback by his smooth and eloquent words.

If Alec hadnʼt been present during the incident, he might have questioned the truth of what occurred, thatʼs how convincing the skeleton masked figure portrayed himself.

”Humph! Donʼt you dare use your disgusting abilities against me! Who do you think you are, calling yourselves mercenaries?, You Dark Guild mages are the ones I despise the most, it seems like your group only assumes the title of ʼmercenariesʼ when things arenʼt going your way,” Selene retorted, with the skeleton masked figure playful demeanour quickly fading.

”Well, you already know who I am, regardless, both Pale and Alec are invaluable to my client, and I have received a substantial payment, guaranteeing their delivery,” stated the skeleton masked figure confidently.

”Iʼd love to see you try,” Selene challenged as she assumed a defensive stance.

The water bubbles surrounding her moved in sync with her every motion, and her palms radiated a captivating blue water-like energy.

”You arrogant brats!” exclaimed one of the Tier 6 Enforcers from the Ancient Zero Clan, growing fed up with being overlooked by Selene and the skeleton masked figure, despite their holding of Pale captive.

He felt they deserved a higher ranking in the situation, but Selene and the masked figure made them feel utterly insignificant.

Feeling his pride as a Tier 6 Mage being insulted, he charged towards the skeleton masked figure, intentionally avoiding Selene due to her unknown strength.

Their mission was clear: take Pale, eliminate Alec, and minimize conflict with the coordinator, any interference from the other students should result in their demise.

However, his attack wasnʼt solely driven by the need to avoid Selene.

He believed that the Dark Guildʼs involvement was the reason for their mission becoming chaotic, it was frustrating for him to see that the dark guild had not only been exposed during their infiltration but had also caused disruptions during the zero clan enforcers attempt to secure Pale, ultimately wasting their time and leading to Selene confronting them before their escape.

”Idiot! While we both may be Tier 6 mages, we are not on the same level,” the masked figure retorted, glancing at the mid-ranked enforcer who clenched his fist, launching a barrage of ice swords towards him.
