The Golem Mage Chapter 995: Back Story : Takeda

Imdiately Takeda finished speaking and Aeron finally processed what he truly ant, his head felt like it was about to explode, just staring at the mage in front of him was giving him a migraine.

No matter how he tried to rationalize it, he just couldn’t understand how one person could possess such a ridiculous, and outright fraudulent ability.

Then Takeda glanced up toward where Kaelus was and said,

“Looks like playti’s over. Sweet dreams, Shadow Prince of the Blade Clan. I enjoyed fighting you.” he said before tapping the katana’s hilt against Aeron’s head.

Thud.

Aeron’s vision snapped dark as his body went limp entering the sleep mode his body seems to have been craving all this while.

In the VIP section, those who had been praising the Blade elders earlier, when Aeron had revealed his Qi manifestation, had now turned their attention toward the Kage of the School of Silent Night.

Questions hung in the air, but the man had been silent since the mont he arrived, even the Grand Dean of Shinsei Academy and the Dean of Crimson Dawn, who had co with him hadn’t exchanged a single word with him, making the silence feel even heavier.

Still, where so feared to speak to him, others didn’t, others like the Blades clan elder.

“If you don’t mind asking, I’d like to understand... is that what I think it is?” the Grand Elder of the Blades said carefully, but clearly the Kage showed no intention of helping him finish his statent, so the Grand Elder forced the words out himself.

“The Five Elent Bodies.”

Imdiately these words ca out a few of them gasped, and it was those who truly understood or had an idea about the five elent constitution, while the rest of them only stared in confusion, hoping soone would explain what that title truly ant.

However, the Kage remained completely quiet.

But eventually soone spoke, and this ti, the one who spoke was the Grand Dean of Shinsei Academy.

“It’s true,” he said.

“Takeda is a mage with the Five-Elent Constitution, he was born into a clan that revolves around clone arts, where the talent of their younger generation is asured by how many clones they can produce, and what percentage of the original’s power each clone can sustain.”

As he spoke, every head in the VIP section turned toward him, listening with intense focus.

“Unfortunately, that ignorant clan never truly understood Takeda, even after he awakened and they poured resources into him just like they do at the beginning with the rest of the younger generation, but since he still couldn’t step into the Tier 1 Mage realm, and he couldn’t summon a single clone.”

“To them, it was an outrageous waste, the amount they spent to raise a ‘re Tier 1’... they believed that if they had invested the sa resources into a Tier 2 mage, it would’ve pushed that person through a minor realm breakthrough, and because they couldn’t comprehend his condition, they branded him a weakling—an unworthy bastard.”

“They called him that even though Takeda was the only son of their late Patriarch, that was how they treated a child, terrorizing and maltreating him—especially since the new Patriarch had no interest in helping his brother’s son... after all the way he claid his position was already suspicious enough.”

“Fortunately for the young Takeda, the Kage happened to be soone who despised such cruelty, so during one of his visits to the clans under Silent Night’s protection, he ca across Takeda, and adopted him on the spot, giving him his own surna Ryunosuke.”

“At first, it seed like the Kage had simply taken pity on a suffering child, after all he does that often, but who would’ve expected he’d struck a jackpot? He continued supporting the boy in the cultivating journey, because as the leader of such a massive institution, Tier 1 cultivation resources ant almost nothing to him.”

“But the real surprise ca after Takeda finally entered Tier 1 and he finally understood what he had truly awakened, with the Five-Elent Constitution, it ant he needed five tis the resources a normal mage would require to advance, and that was because he was no longer one mage, but five in one.”

“So before Tier 1, he couldn’t understand why he was ‘stuck.’ But after stepping into Tier 1 mage realm, he could switch between five personalities and draw on their different powers.

And the Kage, being the knowledgeable man he was, dedicated himself to training Takeda properly, teaching him how to wield that constitution the right way.”

“And that... is why he’s where he is today.”

“As soon as he stepped into the Mid Ranks, he could split all five personalities out of himself, so whether people liked it or not, all five of them still made up Ryunosuke Takeda, who is the main entity, the future Kage of the Silent Night,” the Grand Dean of the Shinsei Academy concluded.

But the mont he finished, they realized sothing.

There weren’t five bodies like the katana-wielding Takeda had claid—there were six.

Yeah , the five were the core bodies, the powers and personalities that ford Takeda’s true foundation, which could only an one thing: there was a sixth... the one that sat above them all, the controller of the five.

The thought alone made the room sink into uneasy silence, so exhaled in fear, while others despite the dread took secret comfort in one saving flaw of his: the sheer cost of his growth.

They were glad that it took that much ti and resources for him to advance, at least that perverse power he had ca with restrictions, and clearly it wasn’t sothing the whole clan could awaken on command.

And with how rare it was, many believed it might take countless years after Takeda’s death before any descendant of his could ever awaken such a monstrous constitution again, even so, that didn’t stop the great clans of the Eastern Kingdom from trying to match their daughters to him.

Takeda carried that much presence, overwhelming talent, terrifying potential, and the clear markings of a man destined to stand at the peak of his era if he was allowed to grow properly.

And more than that, he was the Kage’s publicly proclaid heir, aning any marriage tied to him was a direct alliance with the School of Silent Night.
