The Golem Mage

40  the Darkbliss family acts

"I can't believe you are the guys who wanted to challenge Alec, Were you even in your right minds?, You could hardly pose a challenge to me,"

Brandon questioned with a raised eyebrow.

He was disappointed in the caliber of experts who had pointed their fingers at Alec, when they had no real strength to back it up.

Brandon was like a fanboy who admired Alec and didn't want anyone tarnishing his name.

"I ask again, is there anyone still interested in challenging Alec?"

Brandon questioned, determined to defeat them all until they were satisfied with the result of their defeat.

"I will take him on!"

a voice suddenly spoke up, causing everyone to stretch their necks and look at the brave soul who had decided to deliver them from this series of shame.

To their surprise, a girl walked out from the Darkbliss clan seating area.

It shocked most of the audience, as no one was expecting the Darkbliss Clan to make a move.

Once a High -Tier family in a Tier 2 city, they had been chased out after offending the top clan there.

Although they now resided in theTier 3 Estonia city, no one doubted their powers, even if they always acted mysteriously.

Everyone knew that the Darkbliss family was proficient in the use of dark and curse magic, which made them eerily scary.

The fact that the most talented of them had a double innate talent for two elements only added to their progress as mages.

"My name is Clarisa Darkbliss, the leader of the young generation here today," the girl introduced herself.

"Oh, I'm Brandon Gordons, the weakest general of Alec Gordons. Honored to spar with you,"

Brandon said in a playful manner, as he tried to act along with Clarisa.

It was common knowledge that the Darkbliss clan was more competitive than most families, often having multiple younger generation leaders who competed with each other until a final winner was acknowledged by the family elders.

So, it was not surprising that Clarisa was trying to take advantage of Brandon's offer.

Exhausted and determined to fight, Clarisa saw an opportunity for herself to defeat the drained Brandon.

If she managed to defeat Brandon, it would be an accomplishment that none of her siblings had achieved.

It had the potential to elevate her status within the clan "I'm ready whenever you are," Clarisa confidently declared.

"Well, I am... Awk!"

Brandon began to respond but realized too late that he had been sneak attacked.

Clarisa had emerged from his shadow and struck him from behind, catching him off guard.

The speed at which she executed the sinking shadows spell was even better than Knight, causing Knight to blush in embarrassment.

It was now clear to everyone that he was still a novice when it came to using the shadow element.

Reacting swiftly, Brandon evaded Clarisa's second combo attack, his eyes squinting in concentration.

His hands moved quickly, forming hand signs.

[< Low Tier Spell - Earth grappling hands >]

Brandon unleashing his special skill And large hands made of earth elements emerged from the ground, attempting to capture Clarisa.

However, just as they were about to grasp her, she escaped using the shadows created by the hands.

This gave Brandon a chance to retrieve his sword.

As Clarisa emerged from the shadows, she sensed a looming threat and swiftly dodged, narrowly avoiding Brandon's powerful and timely sword slash.

She couldn't help but wonder how he had known where she would reappear.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a sharp pain in her ribs as Brandon delivered a forceful kick with his legs, sending her flying.

[< Low Tier Skill - Five ton sword >]

Brandon activated his special skill once again, encasing his sword in earth elements like a scabbard.

He effortlessly carried the weight of the massive weapon as he dashed towards Clarisa.

It amazed those watching to see him handle such a heavy sword with ease.

But Brandon focused solely on finishing the fight swiftly, without humiliating his opponent.

He had intentionally held back on the strength of his earlier kick to avoid causing serious injury to her since she was a female.

Suddenly, numerous shadow elements condensed into the shape of domineering chains, aggressively wrapping around Brandon, as if attempting to trap him

[< Low Tier Spell - Shadow bindings >]

Clarisa executed her own technique, aiming to imprison Brandon in their clutches.

The chains formed from shadow elements appeared more formidable than the smaller shadow binds that Knight was capable of using to restrain his adversaries.

This made Knight feel even more embarrassed, as he was not even slightly inferior to Clarisa in terms of his shadow element skills.

From what they had witnessed, she was a far superior shadow element user than he was.

"Why are you all looking at me? Don't you know that the Gordons Clans specializes in earth elements?, Don't compare my shadow element with hers; it's only my secondary element,"

Knight complained, a hint of blush gracing his face.

As Brandon shouted and struggled to break free from the tightly bound shadow chains, Clarisa warned him,

"Don't even think about escaping from that." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a swift motion, Clarisa revealed the two hidden daggers she had been concealing and slashed out, sending a dark and powerful wave of corrosive shadow elements hurtling towards Brandon.

[< Low Tier spell - Dark slash >]

Crack! The chains made of shadow elements shattered under the force of Brandon's strength.

Once free, he wasted no time and counterattacked by sending an earth slash towards Clarisa's dark slash.

Although his attack came later, it effortlessly sliced through the shadows, heading straight for Clarisa.

In a quick reflex, he stretched out his hand, allowing the remnant dark slash to hit his palm.

Surprisingly, it had no effect on his body except for a slight tremor.

Brandon stood his ground, smirking confidently.

"You're finished, girl," Brandon proclaimed with a smile.

Clarisa positioned her two daggers in front of her, preparing to defend herself against the earth slash that was still flying towards her in fast speed.

However, as the attack drew closer, she swiftly employed the sinking shadow skill she had been saving, using it to escape the incoming assault, as she felt there was no way she would come out clean after being hit by that attack.

She gritted her teeth in frustration, knowing that she had wanted to use that skill to counterattack, but it had now gone into cooldown due to its usage.

Emerging from the shadows once more, Clarisa felt a heightened sense of danger, stronger than before and knew Brandon had closed down on her again.

"Why does he keep finding me?" she ranted in her mind.

But with no other options available, she focused on defending herself against the latest Earth slash that Brandon sent her way, since she was all out of option and the sinking shadows could not be used that fast.

"Boom!!!"

Brandon exclaimed triumphantly as Clarisa was sent flying off the stage by the force of his earth slash.

It was evident that she had been unable to defend herself against his powerful attack.

Despite both of them utilizing the same concept to unleash their magic, it was clear that Brandon's earth slash possessed a greater level of destructiveness and effectiveness.
