Chapter 13: Team of spearmanship experts
[Basic spearmanship leveled up]
[Basic spearmanship lvl 3]
[Mace mastery learnt lvl 1]
After seeing the series of messages on his screen, Alec felt a surge of happiness, and he saw Titan blasting the head of the Tier 1 zombie away.
Finally, he understood how they could awaken their mastery of weapons, All it took was continuous usage of the weapon in battle, eventually leading to the awakening of the weapon mastery.
In the case of Spearmanship, Alec attributed their quick progress to the fact that many golems were already using it.
This gave them an advantage over Titan, who had previously used a different weapon, However, this didn't matter much since Titan had already learned the skill.
As long as he continued using his mace, he would keep improving himself.
Alec decided to test his theory, With a mana pool of around 40 points, he created two new spears and focused on improving their strength and agility.
As he prepared to upgrade the level of the spears, Arthur approached him, asking if he could have one since he didn't have a weapon yet.
Alec replied ruthlessly, without holding back any words. He stated that Arthur would have to either craft one himself or remember to buy a weapon of his choice next time.
Alec didn't want his crafted stone weapons to fall into the wrong hands and reveal their quality, He even thought of saying that only he and his golems could use them, just in case his family asked him to craft weapons and put him in an awkward position.
Arthur, understanding Alec's point, replied,
"Well, not everybody can craft weapons with earth elements like you, Our control is lacking."
"Well, it takes a toll on me to keep using my mana to craft weapons, so don't ask me for one again, And remember to get yourself a weapon."
"After all, you were told we were coming to a battlefield, I don't know how you can be comfortable leaving your life in the hands of others," Alec said firmly.
After that harsh talk-down that Arthur received, Titan returned.
Arthur backed off, feeling a lot of pressure just by looking into Titan's eyes.
He didn't want to test Titan's resolve to protect Alec now that they were in a battlefield, However, he couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw Alec giving the other spear to Titan to wield.
"God, he already has that scary weapon,"
Arthur thought to himself, unable to comprehend why Alec was changing Titan's weapon in the middle of the fight.
But when he thought about it, nobody in the family really understood the way Alec thinks.
They just loved him because he had shown his talent.
As soon as Titan saw Alec offering him the spear, he put his mace on his back.
The mace seemed to assimilate with his back as if it was returning to its scabbard, resembling a sword.
The younger generation watched in amazement as Titan skillfully brandished the spear, It quickly caught their attention that he was much better with the spear.
"Can you see that?, It's like Alec is incredibly skilled with the spear," Knight said to Agnes.
"And how can you be sure about that?" Agnes asked.
"It's extremely hard to transfer a technique you don't know to a golem., Considering Alec's level, he must have imparted his own knowledge of spear to his golems ," Knight explained.
"Why do you seem to know a lot about golems?" Agnes asked.
"My sister is majorly following the golem mage path, so I have some insight into how things work," Knight explained.
"Look, it's like he's about to join his golem in the fun," Agnes exclaimed, playfully nudging Knight with her elbow before giving him a nod of approval.
Finally securing the last spear, Alec could feel his mind being flooded with knowledge about spear techniques he had never practiced before in his life.
Simply by holding the spear, it felt as if he had been training with it for an eternity, He was overcome with the urge to shout in exhilaration.
But his mental strength was so high that he swiftly calmed himself down and cast a Tier 1 spell on himself.
[< Tier 1 Spell 'Rock Armour >]
Alec said and a spell circle formed around him in an instant, A rugged stone armor materialized, giving him a slightly more robust appearance.
Using his mana, Alec began to refine the armor, shaping it to his desired form until it fit him perfectly, covering every part of his body except for his head and hands, he was only able to do this due to his increase mana control.
[ Rock Armour]
Level : 5 (...)
+10 endurance
+4 speed
+1 strength
Durability : (25/25)
Alec wasn't particularly surprised by this, as he had been diligently practicing all the Tier one spells he could get his hands on.
He would spend hours perfecting each spell, only stopping when his mana ran out, and then meditating to recover before continuing.
It was a grueling training regimen that would make most lazy members of the younger generation pull their hair out, but Alec persevered because he could see the progress he was making, as evidenced by his growing experience.
"Damn it, why did I have to boast about my achievement in Rock Armour to this guy, when his own easily overshadowed mine,"
Arthur muttered to himself, filled with regret, He couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as he remembered bragging to Alec about his rock armor.
After all, it wasn't every day they came across someone who could shrink their armor to their size.
Only the experts who had reached Tier 2 mage realm and with better control of there mana were able to master that skill, And now, Alec had once again surprised them all.
"Clear a path!"
Alec shouted to the seven tier 0 zombies who were diligently carrying out their job of killing other zombies like machines.
They obediently moved aside to allow one zombie to pass through, which lunged for Alec, drawn in by the scent of his blood.
But before it could get any closer, Alec's body moved on instinct, He swiftly stabbed forward, easily piercing the zombie's head in a fluid motion that seemed almost effortless.
Despite it being his first time taking a life, Alec remained calm and composed, not even flinching.
The archers watched Alec, concerned that something might be wrong with him as he stood there, momentarily dazed.
Little did they know, his excitement was just beginning to kick in, He relished in the satisfaction of using the spear to pierce through the zombie's head with such precision, a feeling that sent shivers of exhilaration down his spine.

"Ah, this battlefield shall become my stepping stone," Alec declared, a newfound sense of strength coursing through his veins.
He couldn't help but notice that he was growing stronger from the intense battles he faced here, much more so than from his two weeks of meditation alone.
