The Golem Mage-Chapter 20: Prelude to the Final Fight

"Wow, no wonder we never got attacked by Tier 1 zombies, It must have been because they were protecting something or someone," Arthur exclaime

pointing out to the seven approaching zombies.

As the mixed group of strength type, agility type, and defense type zombies ran towards Legion, they tried to intercept his charge towards whatever it was they were protecting.

Alec pondered to himself,

"Hmm, it seems this (Peak) Tier 1 zombie can control those weaker than itselt, It looks like that old man, wasn't lying when he said hierarchy is strictly followed among zombies."

The Lanzt family watched in awe as Legion finally dashed forward to face the seven Tier 1 zombies that were rushing towards him.

"How can it be so strong?, Am I hallucinating? ,Please, guys, tell me I'm the only one seeing what's happening at the moment," Sheila Lanzt asked in disbelief.

"Unfortunately, I can see it too, This is one of the reasons I never wanted to be enemies with that guy, I still feel like he's hiding something, His golems are incredibly unusual. "

" Golems usually have restrictions when it comes to zombies, since they don't have flesh and blood for the zombies to feast on and recover," explained Bryan.

" But That still doesn't explain why they have such an overwhelming advantage against zombies, His golems are like geniuses among golems, especially when comparing them to others we've seen so far. "

" Just look at how that new Golem maneuver his spears, It's not just about physical power, but also precise techniques that give them an edge against zombies," Bryan whispered, feeling frustrated that he had caused this mess.

It became clear to them why they were so scared of the golem's aura.

It was because its strength was far beyond their comprehension.

"Scary," one of the Lanzt family members muttered in awe.

As the seven Tier 1 zombies entered Legion's five-meter range, he changed his grip on the spear and started rotating it with one hand, while keeping his shield in front of him.

He looked increasingly serious as the seven zombies formed a semi-circle around him.

He discarded the nonchalant attitude he had displayed against the unclassified zombies and assumed a determined stance.

"Watching is so much better than having to get my own hands dirty,"

Alec exclaimed to himself, enjoying witnessing the new abilities his golem had to offer, as he stayed behind and gave out commands.

The first zombie to charge at Legion was a low-tier, strength type zombie.

It couldn't wait any longer and roared as it attacked Legion with its claws.

However, before it could even enter the 5-meter death zone, its head exploded like a smashed watermelon on the floor.

"Isn't that the same technique Titan uses?" Arthur questioned, not directing his question to anyone in particular, as he saw Alec confidently stepping back into the front line with his stone spear.

"Yeah, it is, But don't ask me how to perform it with a sword too, because I can't," Alec responded.

He was certain that Legion had incorporated Titan's mace techniques into his attack, causing his spear to function like a mace, Instead of the spiky mace, though, Legion used the sharp part of his spear."

This was only possible because Legion and his golems could share each other's skills but needed to practice to truly master them.

Legion swiftly slashed straight through the middle of the zombie's head, splitting it into two halves. However, it seemed that Legion had underestimated his own strength, as both parts of the head were blasted away after the attack was completed.

Legion still held his hand outstretched, gripping his punisher spear at the very end.

Alec couldn't help but shake his head.

"Get rid of the remaining zombies wandering around here, The leader of this horde will soon be taken care of, This hunt is almost over," Alec commanded.

"Yes, boss,"

the four Gordon family members replied in unison.

At that moment, the shade of Alec's eyes darkened, and he felt an urge to throw up.

"Why the hell are you calling me boss?, I should let Titan take care of Arthur's ass for this," Alec muttered in his mind, already planning the intense training he would subject Arthur to with Titan

But it would be under the disguised of Titan brutal beating Arthur for making everyone call him boss.

Each time he was called boss, it made him feel like some kind of underground leader.

But his clan members didn't see it that way; they wanted to show Alec respect for his strength.

Seeing Arthur call him boss made them think it was appropriate.

and calling him boss sounded more than fine to them, The only one they accepted as their leader was the patriarch.

And Alec was merely the leader of the younger generation, not a legitimate leader, and since most of them like Agnes was still not willing to accept him as leader, they left it at Boss.

Arthur could feel someone's intense gaze on him.

When he searched for the source with his heightened sensitivity, he found Alec staring at him with malicious intent.

A chill ran down his spine as he could already envision the trouble he would soon be in.

"What the fuck did I do to offend this devil?, I'm still trying to catch up to Titan, and now there's another Golem even stronger than me, I'm just an insignificant person"

" How the hell did I catch the attention of such an evil boss?" Arthur lamented internally.

He could already picture himself being mercilessly trashed around by that new powerful golem,

Just as he was consumed by these thoughts, he heard a gasp from the Lanzt family behind him.

Fueled by his anger, Arthur unleashed his fury on the Lanzt family.

"Why the fuck are you all down here?, The boss clearly told you to stay up there and obediently shoot wind blades!"

However, they didn't even spare him a glance; they kept staring straight ahead.

Curiosity getting the best of him, Arthur turned to see what had captivated their attention, only to witness an incredibly shocking scene.

All seven tier one zombies surrounding Legion were dead, their heads split apart in the middle.

Only the first one had its head completely blasted away; the others still had their heads intact.

"That thing is way stronger than a newly promoted Tier 1 lifeform, It's an absolute monster, As long as it's still around, I don't even think you qualify to be Alec's rival,"

Knight said to Agnes beside him, voicing everyone's amazement and disbelief.

" You think I don't see all this?, I will train even harder and try my best to catch up to him," Agnes told Knight as she gritted her teeth in determination.

"Well, that's why he is our boss, He is meant to be someone we look up to," Bradon said, shocking both Agnes and Knight since he rarely spoke to anyone.

They looked at the guy standing at the front with Arthur, who seemed to embody strength.

As the other golems and Titan cleared any zombies that came closer to him, the scene was both impressive and awe-inspiring.

"Yeah, he is the boss," Knight said, finding the sight cool.

If only Alec heard this, he would surely increase the intensity of Arthur's training.

"Roaaaaaaarrrrr...." a long roar resonated as a massive zombie got out from its hiding spot.

It stood imposing tall, easily surpassing Legion in height.

Its body looked incredibly hideous, with long claws and sharp teeth that sent shivers down the spines of the Lanzt family members.

Even Bryan, who had previously been confident enough to kill the zombie, felt uncertain after seeing it in its full length for the first time.

Rumors circulated among the retainers who protected them, mentioning a Peak Tier 1 among the attacking force, explaining why the wall was breached so easily.

The zombie's chest muscles almost resembled armor, catching Alec's attention.

He quickly used his system to check its stats.

[Inspect]

[ speed demon zombie]

Specialty: speed and claw

Level : (peak) Tier one

Battle power : 200

"Hmmm, seems the inspect skill has leveled up again.

Maybe I should use it a couple more times to make sure it levels up faster.

After all, it has helped me reach this level," Alec mused to himself.

"Now for the final fight," Arthur said, running his hand in ecstasy.

No one even paid attention to the unclassified zombies as they would soon be wiped out by the efforts of Alec's level 0 golems.
