The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 52: The Elven Beasts of Corruption! II

The Shrine of Life.

Advanced Gem Masters who had many Sockets to work with always sought the most optimum Gem Recipe, and the one that Elder Dadarius had chosen was naturally what benefitted him the most.

It could defend, and it could attack.

The Gem Recipe was known as the Templar of the Shrine, and the Main Ability Gem was the Shrine of Life!

A rare ability gem that when cast, a glorious Shrine would be enacted that could withstand damage equivalent to quintuple one’s Energeia.

And allow one’s Vigor to regenerate thrice as fast.

And from this temple, The Vines of the Templar could be released to bind and attack an enemy as those bound could have their lifeforce drained to keep powering up this Shrine of Life!

If one paired such an Ability Gem with support abilities that further multiplied the effects, duration, and potency...the terrifying product that Elder Dadarius had just cast would unfold.

"Daring, but not knowing how vast the skies are!"

BOOM!

Elder Dadarius bellowed out as lightning crackled around him.

His bow was raised as a crimson arrow billowing with flames was already formed, and it shot straight toward the young man who actually thought he had some standing!

CAA!

The young man who stared forth coldly as the Caladrius Aerial Beast under it cried out, hundreds of vines instantly erupting from this bird as they covered the incoming arrow and even billowed towards the Shrine of Life like verdant waves.

"Hmph!"

Elder Dadarius harrumphed as more of his Energeia was drawn out, dense vines also forming from the Shrine of Life as he called out to the Tier 4 Elven Beasts beside him.

"Pure output of damage on this stupid bird first, I will take care of-"

CRACK!

...!

Elder Dadarius raised his head up as he heard and felt something that shouldn’t be possible.

It was...

It cost them absolutely nothing to keep on.

So when they released an active Ability...disaster would unfold.

From the Golden Flame Lion, its jaws opened wide as scorching golden flames erupted out like waves of a golden sea, burning any green vines and smashing into the newly formed Shrine of Life that broke down as if it were paper.

"Ah...!"

The Elven Beasts of Corruption watched in disbelief and horror as the golden flames swept over them, their defenses instantly becoming broken as their fair skins burned!

Thick green vines controlled by Nueire then rained down from above and wrapped around the three figures that were wreathed in golden flames- binding them tightly as they were carried across the skies.

They screamed painfully from the heavy burns, Elder Dadarius being the only one still capable of stopping his screams as he gazed out defiantly toward the direction they were being brought to.

There, a Young man sat on a white green feathered bird as he didn’t even make a move, his eyes filled with veiled anger as he looked towards the bound and heavily injured Elven Beasts of Corruption.

His voice was tinged with controlled rage as it rang out.

"Why would I care about the agreement between Beasts?"

...!

Elder Dadarius’ eyes trembled.

Yes. This whole time, he was under the misconception that these Beasts were powerful combatants stemming from the Beast Clans.

But at this moment, as he was surrounded by them and as only this young man spoke authoritatively, a terrifying conclusion was reached.

He controlled all of them.

The massive Caladrius.

The regal Golden Flame Lion.

All the terrifying Beasts here seemed bent to his will.

Beasts with enough power to bring him down under a minute!

Elder Dadarius looked at this young man again as he grit his teeth with pain and rage.

"Who are you?!"

...!
