The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 130 Carving Out One's Domain! I

The arguments between Dragons were slowly brought to a close as Alexander looked at them sternly.

Alexander had already given commands as the bodies of the three dead Dragon Rulers were dragged from where they fell and toward the depths of the Sacred Gold Mountain.

His Father and other key figures of the past City of Carthage felt a sense of despondency and weakness from not being able to change anything.

This weakness...could always be changed and turned into strength as what if they underwent a ritual that transferred the Nine Linked Sockets of a Ruler?

Alexander had to also take a look at the Ruler's Gems that condensed after the deaths of those Rulers- with their boons supposedly capable of increasing the rate of understanding of Covenant of Nature.

So far, no Covenant Gems had been condensed as Alexander guessed they may do so from the dead bodies of Sky Rulers and Void Rulers.

He put many things together as he sighed while talking to the two Dragons, Balasa and Polet.

"This Sky Ruler that has begun amassing and directing other Dragon Rulers...what do you know of their power?"

The bickering dragons looked at him before Polet spoke.

"He is known as the Silver Ruler of Space. Having fully understood the high tier Covenant of Space, he has begun assimilating it as he wields terrifying power."

Polet stated such words as Balasa nodded and continued.

"He has a Mythical Tier Ability Gem related to Space that allows him to freely teleport Great distances and release attacks with the Spatial Attribute. Even other Sky Rulers steer clear of him due to his combat abilities. It is why he can easily command us- those below him."

"..."

They spoke freely as a threat of high value was made clear!

Alexander looked between the two of them as he focused on Polet, the one who was sent forth by the orders of the Sky Ruler.

"Is there a chance other Dragons could come in the direction you were told to scour and arrive here if you do not return and report?"

...!

He asked a question that these two Dragons didn't think of at all.

"Uhh...I don't know."

Polet replied while retreating her head down.

A somber atmosphere settled as in the distance, Ryanara came over with a flash of brilliance and spoke in a heavy tone.

[Ruler's Gem(Land)]:: An accumulation of the lifeforce and Covenant of Nature within a Ruler that was on a path of understanding. It does not yet have an identity of a specific Covenant Gem, but the accumulated life force and basal authority of a Covenant is useful in increasing the understanding of a chosen Covenant of Nature by 2%.

...!

A single Ruler's Gem made it so that one could advance the percentage of understanding of their Covenant of Nature by a whole 2%.

Alexander gained about 3 or 4 Ruler's Gems from the deaths of each of the 3 Dragons as currently he had 12 in total!

This was the extent of the life force and accumulation of the Covenant of Nature that was mixed in for these beings.

If there was a more powerful Ruler, there would be more Ruler's Gems condensed at the time of their deaths, and as he theorized, maybe only Sky Rulers and Void Rulers who were either beginning their assimilation of Covenants of Nature or entirely completed with an assimilation- they were the ones who could condense the rarer Covenant Gems.

As he grasped the Covenant Gem in his hands, he spoke softly.

"Put it all on Gold."

...!

The starry black Gem began to pulse and crack as tendrils of light leaked from it and into his body, his already clear mind under the effects of the Core Feature of The Reformer gaining luminosity over gold as his percentage of understanding began to increase!

2% Increased understanding for each Gem.

He had 12 of them as this was an instant 24% increase on the Covenant of Gold!

Or so he thought.

...!

His eyes opened wide in astonishment as he saw that on his panel, the understanding of the Covenant of Gold rapidly jumped by a percentage, then an additional percentage, and then another percentage, and it continued!

He was not given only a 2% increase in understanding.

The Core Feature of The Reformer of the Enneagram once more exerted the ridiculous effects of a 300% increase, as even this number was actually inflated!

In the blink of an eye, his understanding of the Covenant of Gold jumped from 10% to 16%.

"..."

He had no words.

A process that took others an unknown number of years.

It seemed that he may just be able to complete it in a single day!
