<h4>Chapter 9: Horde Attacks</h4>
Two weeks had passed since Alec''s grandfather discovered his mage abilities, He was now hailed as the prodigy of the Gordon family, surpassing the other dual element kids who had taken a whole week to reach Tier 1 mage status.
The younger generation of the family was showing promise, with numerous young mages emerging.
While some of the new mages grewcent, taking a break from their training, Alec remained diligent.
Not a single day went by where he did not dedicate himself to hisbat training during the day and honing his golem-making skills at night.
To acknowledge his achievements, his grandfather bestowed upon him a space pouch as a gift, though Alec suspected it was just another indulgence from the old man.
Alec''s hard work and dedication during training paid off handsomely, His basicbat skills soared to level five, a remarkable aplishment in such a short span of time.
[Basicbat skills -lvl 5( 45/500)]
He also improved his golem creation skill and was now able to create seven other golems apart from Titan.
Even though there wasn''t a level indicator to showcase his progress, he could feel a significant improvement in his ability to craft sturdy golemspared to when he first started as a mage.
Furthermore, he discovered that the system had the capacity tomunicate, but it seemed reluctant to reach out due to the energy it consumed.
The system informed him that every question he asked would cost him 20 mana, regardless of whether or not it could provide an answer.
This revtion left Alec feeling uncertain about trusting the system, but he ultimately decided to take advantage of the system''s rapid power growth and asked a few questions that had been lingering in his mind.
With a determined mind, he opened his status tab and began to inquire about his burning questions.

He had leveled up to level 2 , thanks to all the training and dedicated meditation he had been practicing.
"What is your purpose?" Alec asked, curiosity filling his voice.
[ X : To make the host the strongest mage alive, that''s my main purpose. ]
the system responded, its words resonating in Alec''s mind.

Alec checked his mana, only to realize that it had reduced by 20.
"Hmm, it seems the system wasn''t lying about the 20 mana per question," Alec thought to himself.
"Who created you?"
Alec asked the question that had been bothering him, He believed that he might be a ything of some God, someone who was just watching him like an experiment.
[×: Question invalid!!!, All you need to know is that I have transferred with you to help you be the strongest mage.]
"Hmm, another waste of 20 mana,"
Alec said to himself when he realized that his mana had reduced to 60 from 80, as the system still failed to answer his question.
"Well, I guess that solves all I need to know about the system, I''ll have to level up quickly and see if it finally answers my questions," Alec said to himself.
"It''s an attack! All mages, report for duty at the gates!"
a middle-aged man shouted as he rushed towards the family gates.
"Hmm, it seems my first battle is about to start," Alec said to himself.
He quickly allocated his avable points into agility to improve his running speed.

The moment he started running straight towards the gates, he noticed that he was much faster than normal, He caught up with the rest of the family members who were also making their way to the city gates.
"Alec!" He turned back to see Arthur and the rest of the younger generationsgging behind.
He slowed down a little so they could catch up.
"What is it?" Alec asked immediately.
"Have you heard any information about the attack?"
Arthur asked, but Alec shook his head to indicate that he had no idea about the attack.
"Even better, I have some information," Arthur said with a smirk.
"Just spill it, dumbass," Alec said impatiently.
"Okay! I got a little info from an older guard passing by, It was said that a level 5 zombie horde is heading straight for our city," Arthur exined.
"But how is that possible? I thought zombie hordes only urred during a Blood Moon, and it''s definitely not nighttime, let alone a blood moon," Alec questioned.
"Now, that''s where you''re mistaken, man, Not all zombies are able to return to their dimensions after an attack, So those who are left gather around the highest-level zombie, waiting for the next blood moon to join the next attacking force," Arthur rified.
"However, urrences like this are very rare since most high-level zombies escape quickly when they realize the portal is closing, But this time, a level 5 zombie wasn''t able to escape when the city lord cut off its right arm, leaving itgging behind, Now that it has recovered its strength, it''s seeking revenge," Arthur exined all the details to Alec.
"Hmm, so we''re up against a Tier 5 zombie Commander ?" Alec asked.
"No, it''s not a zombiemander. It''s a Tier 5 zombie brain monster, a mental type," Arthur rified with augh.
"Hahaha, what did you think? That a zombiemander can lead a horde that would make the city lord call on the family n mages? Don''t make meugh." Arthur said.
