The Golem Mage-Chapter 12: Improving

[Ding!]

[2 EXP gained from defeating the level 0 zombie]

[Learned Basic Spear Techniques]

Alec's panel displayed a series of notifications as the golems grew more adept at killing zombies with their stone spears.

It was clear that the introduction of the basic spearmanship skill had greatly improved their abilities.

[Basic Spearmanship Level 1]

>Enhances your ability to wield the spear with speed and strength, increasing the likelihood of delivering a fatal strike, It also accelerates your understanding of spear techniques, depending on the skill level.

"Ohhh, so that's what's been helping them, I can't help but think they've become as skilled as ancient Chinese spearman soldiers" Alec remarked, a sense of awe in his voice.

Curiously, Alec turned to Titan and asked,

"Can you use a spear like them too?"

He immediately face-palmed himself for asking such an obvious question, After all, Titan was a golem who could wield anything Alec asked him to.

To his surprise, Titan nodded in response.

"Woah," Alec muttered as his attention was drawn to another extraordinary sight of intellectual shown by Titan.

The level 0 golems continued to slaughter the zombies atop the wall, appearing as agents of death.

The zombies barely had a chance to approach before they were impaled by the golems spears, The golems aimed for the head or chest, ensuring deep penetration and finishing the attack in a single swift motion.

Any zombies foolish enough to attempt biting or clawing at the golems quickly regretted their decision.

The golems lacked flesh or blood, preventing any possibility of reanimation.

[Skill level up!]

[Basic Spearmanship Level 2]

As the skill leveled up, Alec noticed a change in the golems attack method, Previously, they had only been stabbing, but now they were capable of performing sweeping attacks with the spearhead.

It was for those zombies they had missed the first time, and attempting to close the gap between them, then the golem would swiftly perform a swipe, uprooting the entire head of the zombie.

This ensured that those stubborn undead creatures wouldn't rise again to pester them, Witnessing the golems employ the spear in such a manner sent shockwaves through the Gordon Clan watching.

To see one person's summon performing the work of seven individuals so flawlessly left everyone wondering what Alec must have done for his golem to possess such expertise in spear usage.

Many believed that this knowledge had been imparted, similar to how renowned Golem Masters passed down their weapon techniques to their specialized golems, granting them increased battle power.

No one had anticipated Alec reaching this level of golem creation, especially considering he had only recently become a mage. "Genius!" some exclaimed, admiring Alec's abilities.

Agnes snorted at the shocked expression of the other young Gordon clan member beside her.

"What do you all expect?, He's the leader of the younger generation of the Gordons, He undoubtedly possesses the power and talent to back it up, or else he wouldn't have been chosen."

The fact that Alec could participate in such a high-level battle, while they, the other new mages, were merely there to spectate, amazed and invigorated the younger generations, Alec's remarkable performance ignited their passion.

Alec could feel the gaze of the younger generation fixated on him, filled with fanatical worship.

He sighed, knowing that in this world, strength was the ruling factor, He knew from now on that his presence in the clan would bring immense joy to these aspiring mages, who admired, were curious about him, It was evident that they adored him.

As Alec noticed his grandfather nodding toward him, appearing relaxed but unable to hide the shock on his face, Alec felt an urge to craft another spear and observe if Titan could truly wield it as skillfully as the level 0 golems.

But Alec had exhausted his mana while creating those mana spears for the golems, He had been trying to recover his mana, which was why he had kept Titan close, knowing it was his strongest golem.

Suddenly, a scream echoed through the air as the line was breached from another angle, Alec turned to see another Tier 1 zombie, but this one seemed different from the speed demons.

It had Red skin and it's well-defined muscles made it resemble a bodybuilder.

Alec activated his inspect ability to gather information on the new zombie.

[Inspect]

[Claw type - Strength zombie]

Level: (Low) Tier 1

Battle power: 57

As Alec assessed the battle power of the formidable claw type zombie, he realized that it could potentially cause significant losses to the clan members before they could handle it.

Losing a family member was something he wasn't prepared to witness at the moment.

"Stop him, Titan," Alec instructed his most trusted golem.

Titan turned towards the new target, emitting a slight mechanical sound as its red eyes gleamed brighter.

With slow speed, Titan charged forward, appearing almost indistinguishable from a real being.

With concern in his voice, Alec turned to Arthur.

"I hope you can deliver on your words as my new guard, Arthur."

"Of course, I am strong enough to protect you,"

Arthur replied, thumping his chest with confidence, as He activated his Tier 1 Mana Pool and casted a "Rock Armour" spell upon himself.

"Woah, yours looks even shinier, What did you do to the spell model to modify your Rock Armour like this?" Alec asked, intrigued by the enhanced appearance.

"Well, that's simply because I have the metal element as well, It makes it easier for me to integrate some of my metal elements into the Tier 1 spell Rock Armour," Arthur explained.

"It makes the spell stronger and more aligned with my personality somewhat of a mutated type of spell , However, I can only combine my two elements for this specific spell, and it's still not a complete integration of both elements."

With his attention fixed on Titan, Arthur didn't bother to divert his gaze towards Alec, He was wholly focused on observing how Titan would handle this new challenge.

They finally came face to face, the powerful swing of Titan's mace met with the ferocious swipe of the new Tier 1 zombie's claws, creating a clash of sound.

Despite being pushed back, Titan stood his ground, his trusty shield protecting him from any frontal attacks.

The zombie appeared confused for a moment before succumbing to its feral instincts, recklessly swiping its claws in a fit of rage.

"Clang!"

Each of the zombie's claw attacks were skillfully intercepted by Titan's shield, as if he could predict it's every move.

[A new skill has been learned: Block Mastery]

[Block Mastery Level 1]

Alec noticed the message but chose to ignore it for now, his focus solely on watching Titan's impressive fight, He couldn't help but wonder if his own golems had awakened similar skills.

Perhaps it had something to do with how often they had used their respective weapons in battle, The thought was giving him a headache, as he had never encountered anything like Titan's mastery of the mace before.

Lost in his thoughts, Alec watched as Titan finally brought down the Tier 1 zombie, smashing its head and causing blood to splatter all over its smooth brown body.

It gave off an aura of a war god, looking incredibly threatening.
