The Golem Mage

Chapter 530 530: Plan And Schemes (2).

Alec had dispatched his golems alongside his teammates as backup in case they encountered any members of the Royal Mage Academy, however, that wasnʼt his primary motive for sending them out.

Alec was able to communicate freely with all his golems as long as they werenʼt too far from him.

So when he sensed something off about the individual claiming to be Lucas, he knew it wasnʼt the Lucas because he had been in mental contact with Legion.

And Legion had sent a message to him mentally confirming that he was still with the real Lucas, and that was the moment Alec realized something was amiss, yet, even when questioned, he didnʼt reveal how he found out, he only twisted his other findings and explained, that way keeping his secret safe.

Explaining how he had discerned that Luis was an imposter would expose another of his abilities—the fact that he could communicate with his golems.

Alec didnʼt consider himself an almighty figure; he recognized that there were various unique powers, and he believed that the more cards he kept hidden, the better his chances of survival.

So he was aware that if his enemies discovered he had the ability to communicate with his golems, they would do everything in their power to disrupt the connection, rendering his golems a slight liability with his instructions.

But by keeping certain powers concealed, he had managed to send a message to Legion to retreat with Lucas back to the flag castle, instead of going after the opposing teamʼs flag, since he had set what he called the perfect trap for the three members of the Royal Mage Academy.

Alec was confident that all he needed to do was now was take care of the captain and vice-captain of the Royal Mage Academy, secure their flag, and his academy would be declared the winner.

...

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Beatrice, who had been advancing cautiously, finally came face to face with someone.

She looked at Albert Blaze with such a nonchalant expression that it infuriated him, though he managed to keep his irritation hidden.

Due to being from the Blaze Clan, Albert was accustomed to having a multitude of fan girls swooning over him, showering him with adoration.

So, when he set his sights on Beatrice, whom he considered the beautiful vice captain of the War God Academy, he expected some sort of reaction from her.

Perhaps she would be in awe or show some level of infatuation, however, to his surprise, she simply looked at him with an expression of indifference, as if he were some unknown entity.

”Itʼs not often that the vice captains of both academy teams meet each other, tell me, why donʼt we go on a date once this match is over,” Albert suggested acting like he already won the fight, but Beatrice furrowed her brows in disgust and replied,

”There is someone else Iʼm interested in, if you can break his unbeaten streak, then I might consider you.”

”Wrong answer!” Albert responded angrily, with flames flaring around him.

”Iʼve researched your time in the capital, and it seems youʼre the loner type, even if you have someone you fancy, it should either be the Bladeʼs boy or your captain, and you should know neither of them is a match for me, which means, youʼre just rejecting me.”

”I thought you were here to fight, not talk too much,” Beatrice remarked as her human puppet moved toward Albert.

However, Albert shook his head and pushed out his palm, as a tremendous burst of flames erupted and engulfed the puppet, shrouding it completely until its figure was no longer visible.

Satisfied with his display, Albert was about to turn back towards Beatrice direction, but suddenly the human puppet emerged from the flames, its body scorching as the red armor it wore glowed with increased intensity.

It launched a right fist towards Albert, catching him off guard, nevertheless, Albert swiftly reacted, slapping the fist away with his left palm and redirecting it to his right side, then, with his right hand enveloped in flames up to his elbow, he delivered an uppercut, executing the flaming fist spell.

Bang!

The impact of the punch didnʼt stop there, as a hand made of flames materialized and lifted the human puppet into the air.
