The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 58: Insurmountable! IV

On top of a Tier 5 Peacock that had wide spanning wings and shimmering with multi colored radiance.

Elder Commander Lidar stared ahead toward the magnetic Beast Lord, as well as the other Elder Beast Commanders standing behind her on this massive beast crossing the skies.

"Beast Lord Vishpala...for you to come with us is more than we could ever ask."

Lidar ingratiated himself as he spoke towards this powerful Beast Lord who chose to bring their main forces towards the City of Anan instead of just allowing the Elven Beast Commanders to take the detour and eradicate the one who took down Elder Dadarius.

At his words, Beast Lord Vishpala smiled and waved her hand dismissively, waves of charm radiating from her.

"Since we are all nearby, let's do things thoroughly. Sometimes, even if it is an ant, there is no harm in bringing millions of elephants to crush it."

...!

Her words were resonant atop the Aerial Beast as soon, the outline of the City of Anan became clear to them.

And...

"Oh?"

The gorgeous brows of the Beast Lord rose as she squinted her eyes at the outline of a massive Lightning Sparrow above the walls of this city- its aura bright as its power was not something to ignore!

"Interesting, what may that be?"

Her body had tendrils of multicolored light rise from her feet as the Aerial Beast below her became ever faster, her chest shining brilliantly with the Seven Gem Sockers that held rings of white, blue, and red each!

As they came forward, the earth behind them trembled as tides of Beasts followed their lead.

Alexander flew atop the Caladrius, Nueire, as this Minion spoke out jubilantly.

"Ascendant Master...just what is that dazzling star above you and all of us? With it, I feel like I have gained multiple more lives, with my power...oh!"

The excitement on the Caladrius was palpable.

It was worried when it heard of the army containing Elven Beasts, Orc Beasts, and the regal Peacock Beasts that may make their way here, but now...it truly felt like it could do anything.

Its sensation of joy was passed through its connection to Alexander as he felt it, too.

At this moment, as he actually went towards powerful Beasts that were intent on assaulting an Ascendant Branch. A Stronghold filled with Ascendant Gem Masters!

He should feel a sense of fear.

He should even possibly feel dread.

But this...

What exactly was this sensation he felt right now?

Was it...excitement? No.

It was too contained.

Too logical.

This was...

[The Eye of the Enneagram has begun to open after a critical level of lifeforce has been absorbed.]

From his chest.

A hazy white glow spread out and went to bathe his whole body, but the vast majority of it clustered itself in his head.

Something he didn't wish to entertain in his mind in the last day.

His Minion King Gem Recipe could dominate...any Life Form that submitted to make them a Minion.

It never stated that it only had to be Beasts.

But even the idea alone of making another Human being, much less a Gem Master he considered an Uncle as he saw him growing up...it was too difficult in Alexander's mind before!

But now?

His mind was looking at things from an entirely different perspective. For better or for worse.

Uncle Azazel's eyes shook as he seemed to think ever so briefly.

And then, he gazed towards the shaking earth in the distance, as well as the terrifying auras they could already feel in the distance.

He breathed out a sigh as he knew his own limitations.

If there truly were Tier 6 Beasts, and even a Beast King- a Tier 7 Beast...even the Ascendant Gem Masters of the Strongholds of the Asmodeus Bloodline would have to siege such beings with hundreds of their Tier 5 Gem Masters and their topmost Tier 6 and 7 Legends!

How could he be confident before them?

So...

"I trust you, Young Master."

The old Gem Master breathed out and released his sense of control.

At the forefront of the Caladrius, there were absolutely no mental reservations within Alexander as a Golden light shot from his chest and moments after.

HUUM!

A dominating light shot towards a human being as towards it, Azazel simply closed his eyes and allowed it to freely enter the depths of his being.

The scene was shocking for others to see as, beside Alexander, Claire felt her heartbeat getting ever faster as she looked towards Alexander.

Then, with great courage and hesitation...

"Alex...me too. I will...!"

She seemed to be gathering her will.

She also didn't want to be left behind nor feel helpless to help!

Even in his new state of mind, Alexander turned towards her and stared into her blue eyes.

His calm and analytical eyes smiled just a little as he asked.

"Are you sure?"

...!

Even though his mind looked at everything differently under [Meta Comprehension], this was still his childhood friend. Someone he had grown up playing with, the attachment being much greater!

Her blue eyes locked with his as the lightning within them became even more decisive.

Her fair face, which held traces of beauty, seemed to become more mature at this moment as she nodded with conviction.

And Alexander...moved his hand to pat her head as he had done many times since they were young.

On his chest, another blast of golden light flourished before it sank into Claire's chest, their eyes locked onto each other as a shocking transformation began!

A distance away, terrifying Beasts were about to come knocking!
