The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 102 Humans of Another World! II

The Priestess had a difficult expression as the battle fully unfolded before them.

She had communed with the Covenant of Faith- the trace amounts of it that she could commune with anyways, and she saw that even though it would be difficult, winning was possible!

And if they could take down these foreign humans and sacrifice them under the banner of the Covenant of Faith, she may just be able to get the last pieces of the puzzle and attain the state of a Ruler.

Faith was born in blood.

Through blood, she would attain the precipice of Faith and fully become a Ruler!

But now...

BOOM!

Terrifying glacial winds gushed down from above as an unruly Undead creature actually tried to defile her.

To the sides, Sir Jura and Sir Nala were being besieged by more Undead and Beasts, and to top it all off- a forest filled with dreadful vines arose to entangle the rest of her forces!

She saw that these reinforced vines were under the control of the young devil whose blood would be the most appetizing to offer.

Now, when she communed with the Covenant of Faith, the results were no longer so clear.

Such a result was not ideal for her. She was very pragmatic as when faced with it...she harrumphed and pulled on the dazzling Gem on her chest!

"These vile enemies are proving to be defiant under the eyes of the White Mistress. Retreat!"

...!

The idea of fighting to the death was never in her mind. She only fought when she could win.

BOOM!

A storm of white Flames erupted all around, the rising forest being burnt as the vines howled, while the Night Walker and others looked on in surprise as their enemies instantly pulled back.

What the hell?

To begin a battle so abruptly and retreat just as quickly?

They hadn't faced such enemies before as while observing such a scene, Alexander's eyes were cold as he uttered out.

"Chase."

...!

Threaten to kill them all and then run away that quickly?

Alexander wouldn't have it as, at this moment, his forces gave chase while delving deeper into the Sacred Mountain!

Ephesus.

It had undergone changes that many had no idea about, and it had brought together entities of varying levels of power.

Some clusters of human populations were faced with freezing Temperatures or scorching Heat as millions perished on the first day.

Other clusters were lucky and had a large number of entities survive.

But it was just the beginning.

And amidst all this chaos, nobody knew who would come out on top!

At the top of the food chain, Tier 9 Gem Emperors could not be considered unshakable anymore.

Depending on one's luck, meeting the wrong entity at the wrong time would mean certain death.

The Skypeak Ascendant Stronghold of Galanis alone was now over three thousand miles away from what used to be the City of Anan, and even further away from Carthage.

A common world had a diameter of 6,000 to 9,000 miles.

Such a number...seemed to only be a fraction for Ephesus as there were even more vast landscapes where the other Human Lineages used to be!

Moderately, the world of Ephesus seemed to now be the size equivalent to that of ten worlds.

Moderately.

And the changes were not done as this truly only seemed like the beginning!

—

BOOM!

On a certain Sacred Mountain.

A woman followed by Knights in Golden Armors was being chased by Undead and Beasts- a young man and woman following close behind them as, at this moment, she was driven to desperation.

So she grit her teeth with a sense of madness as she stopped going up the mountain.

And she voiced out commandingly.

"Burrow in!"

...!

She made a decisive choice that she knew would be even more dangerous.

But what else could she do?!
