The Golem Mage

Chapter 34  Knight " the shadow mage"

The Gordon Clan finally arrived at the banquet location, which was held at the city lord's house.

And Draco wasted no time and immediately descended from the carriage, not bothering to give any speeches to the kids as he deemed it unnecessary.

"Let's go in,"

Agnes took the lead and moved to the front, positioning herself as the leader, since Draco seems unconcerned with them.

This angered Arthur, as he was certain she was only doing it to prove she was better than Alec as always.

And Now that she had finally broken through to the Mid Tier 1 realm , she saw herself as superior, especially since Alec Promised not to use his golems here in the pretense of fighting fair .

That was probably why she had been acting so arrogant the whole time believing she won't lose to Alec if he didn't have the support of his Golems.

Before Arthur could confront her, Alec tugged on his hand and shook his head, signaling that it wasn't worth it.

"It ain't worth it,"

Alec Silently whispered as they followed behind the younger generation of the Gordon Clan, as they made their way towards the banquet meeting.

A Middle age man led the Gordon Clan to the backyard of the mansion, where a stage had already been set up.

It stood firmly, as if nothing could move it.

"This is the spot for the Gordon Clan" the man said, pointing to an area with many chairs, enough to accommodate all the younger Gordon members.

Just as before, without hesitation, Agnes went straight to sit in the middle seat at the front.

She turned back and looked at Alec, waiting for him to say something or become angry.

Alec simply shook his head and smiled sadly, surprised by her childish mentality, even though she was older.

"Let's go,"

Alec said, unwilling to give her the reaction she desired.

Agnes snorted when she saw Alec and his group moving to the back seats.

"Hmmm, losers," Agnes sneered.

"It would be better if you stopped underestimating their strength," Knight said to Agnes.

After all, they were able to detect his presence, indicating that they were not the weaklings she believed them to be, that was what he believed.

After a few minutes, other families and Clans started to arrive, passing by them.

Different entrances led to prepared seats for each group.

All they had to do was enter and take their seats.

Once all the disciples and descendants from the city clans and families had filled their designated areas, an Old man that still stood upright walked out onto the main stage, capturing the attention of all the younger generations mages present.

"I want to welcome all the young heroes who have journeyed far and wide to be here, Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Marcus Dragonmir, the city lord of this city," the man on the stage announced, causing gasps to escape the mouths of many attendees.

"Why does everyone seem so surprised?" Alec asked Arthur beside him.

"Boss, I think you should stop secluding yourself all the time, Just wait and listen to what he has to say," Arthur replied with a sigh, and Alec decided to heed his advice.

"Yes, I am from the Dragonmir Clan, but today we are not here to talk about me, We are here to find out who the elites among the younger generation's disciples are, So, don't hesitate to challenge anyone, even if you have a grudge, The only rule is not to kill," the city lord continued.

The city lord gracefully bent his legs and jumped high, gliding straight to a platform at the top of the hall.

"It seems that's where all the family and clan elders are seated, watching the banquet,"

Arthur whispered to Alec, nudging him with his elbow.

"Let the banquet begin!" the city lord's voice echoed from the top platform.

Immediately, a young man climbed the stage and challenged a member of the Lantzt family, as he himself hailed from the Heather family.

Both families consisted of wind mages, making them rivals in the city, competing for supremacy as the better wind mage family.

In the end, they had similar power levels, but the Heather family member emerged victorious, albeit with numerous injuries.

Just as the victorious young man was about to leave the stage, Sheila Lantzt entered and challenged him to a duel, which he accepted. However, he ended up losing heavily.

"Whoa, she's already a Mid-tier 1 mage," one of the other clans' younger generation members exclaimed.

"Hmph, there's no way she could have advanced that fast without the resources from her family," another member expressed their dissatisfaction at the sight of Sheila's rapid power increase.

It was evident that she had recently advanced, considering that she had struggled to contain her energy through the fight showing her still unstable realm.

The reaction from the Lantzt family members was smug, knowing their own resources likely played a role, this was all from there last gain in the Blood Moon war.

"I want to challenge the Gordon Clan mages," Sheila Lantzt declared, pointing towards where the Gordon Clan members were seated.

"Hahaha, that bitch finally can't hide her eagerness to challenge us after losing face at the south wall,"

Arthur taunted from the back, not bothered to hide his presence.

This only enraged Sheila further.

Arthur wasn't too concerned, though.

He knew that Knight and Agnes would be quick to accept the challenge, as they were always eager for the spotlight. New chapters are publɪshed on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

The rest of the Gordons Mage Younger generation also thought the same, anticipating that Knight or Agnes would step forward, since Sheila had not specified any names, and ordinary members couldn't defeat her considering her realm.

"I'll take you on," Knight declared, standing up from beside Agnes and making his way to the stage.

He intended to defend the honor of the Gordon Clan.

Not knowing if Alec and his gang had advanced to the next realm, Knight wanted to take the stage before any of them.

"You're not my match," Sheila confidently claimed as Knight climbed onto the fighting platform.

She released her cultivation aura to its fullest, hoping to embarrass him by sending him off the stage.

"Oh, are you so sure about that?" Knight countered as he also released his aura.

Even though they were just standing there, their auras alone were enough to knock back low-tier 1 mages.

Green and black elemental colors clashed against each other.

"Oh, that guy has also advanced to the Mid-Tier 1 Mage realm," the crowd observed.

"Why does it feel like us Low-Tier 1 mages are trash?, When did advancing to the next realm become so easy?" others murmured in disbelief.

"I know, right?, Seeing two Mid-Tier 1 mages right at the beginning of the banquet is a rare sight," someone remarked, acknowledging the uncommon occurrence.

The gasps continued as everyone realized that yet another Mid-Tier 1 mage had emerged, and at such a fast pace.

It was difficult for them to grasp the fact that there were others in their generation who were progressing so rapidly.

It made them feel as if all the effort they had put into cultivation all this time had been a waste.

"I have been waiting for you to attack first, since you're a lady. But since you don't seem to be taking my invitation seriously, then you should not blame me when I attack first,"

Knight said, fetching two short daggers from his waist as a black aura enveloped them.

"Bring it on," Sheila replied, positioning herself as the wind around her intensified.

[< Low Tier Spell - Sinking Shadows >]

Knight cast a shadow spell, causing his entire body to sink into the ground until he completely disappeared.

Waves of astonishment washed over the spectators' faces, but Sheila's, instead of being surprised, her expression turned really serious.

She quickly noticed a black shadow approaching her at high speed and began channeling her mana to unleash her magic.

However, before she could cast her spell, another shadow disrupted her incantation, wrapping around her legs.

[< Low Tier Spell - Shadow Bindings >]

It was yet another shadow magic that Knight swiftly cast, showcasing his superiority over Sheila, at how fast he could cast his spells.

She couldn't even break free from the binds, and Knight emerged from her shadow, placing his blade at her neck.

"You lose," Knight declared in a domineering tone, showcasing his cool demeanor further.

"Wow, that's so cool!"

"Knight totally dominated her! What a match!"

The younger generation of the Gordon Clan couldn't contain their joy as they celebrated their first victory.

In contrast, the atmosphere among the Lantzt family members was gloomy.

"It seems it's time for me to make an appearance," Bryan Lantzt finally said, leaping onto the stage with a skillful landing.

"Brother!" Sheila exclaimed, surprised to see her brother appear so quickly to join the fight.

Losing to a member of the Gordon Clan must have made him unable to sit idly by and wait for someone else to take down Knight.

He decided to take care of this Gordon talent himself before things escalated further and more Lantzt family members found themselves defeated by this formidable shadow mage.

"It seems you are walking the path of an Assassin mage," Bryan remarked, trying to strike up a conversation with Knight.

"Less talking, more fighting. Get ready, I'm about to attack," Knight replied, warning his opponent as he cast his favorite spell.

[< Low Tier Spell - Sinking Shadows >]

Bryan smirked in response. "Got you."

[< Low Tier Spell - Multiple Wind Blade >]

Bryan directed the wind blades towards the moving shadow, but they had no effect.

Knight couldn't be affected by magic while he was in the sinking shadows, and his speed remained unaffected.

[< Low Tier Spell - Shadow Binds >]

Knight attempted to cast the same spell he had used before to restrict Bryan's movements.

However, Bryan seemed to have been expecting it, and he easily bypassed the spell by casting another wind spell instead.

[< Low Tier Spell - Wind Trails >]

Bryan quickly dashed, deftly evading the shadowy hands that emerged from the ground, and Finally emerging from the shadows, Knight faced Bryan.

"I had a feeling you had a time limit on how long you could stay in the shadows, and it seems I was right. Now it's my turn,"

Bryan declared, with multiple wind blades hovering around him.
