The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 69: Lords, Kings, and Emperors! III

Green gold feathers lay scattered all around as they were mixed with blood.

Vishpala lay there defeated as she felt a tight and unbreakable golden line bind her very being, rage and resignation coursing through her as she couldn't even resist.

But in the next moment...

BOOM!

A flood of inexplicable power coursed through the established connection as her extremely low life force felt like it was ignited into a fiery flame!

Her life! Her energy!

It all exploded upwards rapidly from the inexplicable golden connection binding her as her rage turned into utter shock.

Her injuries rapidly healed.

And she could swear that her mind saw two twinkling stars flash ever so brightly.

And then...a thin blue membrane began to cover her feathers that shone more lustrously than ever before.

Not to mention her very body feeling the coursing tendrils of crimson lightning that felt like a part of her!

This...this...!

BOOM!

From the crater she was in, her figure exploded out with magnificence and glory.

Green and gold brilliance permeated, but the allure of red also arose as behind her already vibrant feathered wings, crimson wings made of pure light formed from her back.

Two pairs.

Four wings.

It was akin to a Phoenix undergoing rebirth and coming out the other side indescribably stronger- but in this case, it was a Peacock.

"YAA!"

Her cry reverberated out across the battlefield as it caused sharp winds to form.

The Beasts who heard this cry felt their souls shudder as they bowed down in fear- not a single Beast rushing out or escaping anymore!

What was a Beast Lord?

This was a Beast Lord!

In the skies, a vibrant Peacock with green, gold, and red feathers floated with pristine majesty, the bejeweled Gem Armament in the form of a crown she had never gotten the chance to use currently spinning above her head.

Her eyes cleared up from the euphoria of it all as sheer incredulity descended in her mind.

She looked at herself.

Her body that she knew she could enlarge to be multiple times larger than it was right now.

...!

The question was a simple one, but it caused the distant figures of Azazel and Claire to open their eyes in shock.

As for Alexander, he floated towards the radiant Peacock while beckoning with his hands as he replied.

"Why do you ask that?"

He was beckoning, but Beast Lord Vishpala turned her head sideways in confusion as she replied.

"That's the only way your power can be explained. And even then, it still doesn't make sense. There are some truly terrifying Variant Gem Masters, especially within the Royal Beast Clans and Mythical Beast Clans, but no Variant Gem Socket that would have an enhancement effect as terrifying as this. And...what are you beckoning for?"

...!

Variant Gem Masters!

Azazel and Claire Asmodeus looked at each other in shock.

Were those the same Gem Masters that they considered to have Defective Life Sockets?

That they themselves were defective?

Of course, they never asked Alexander himself how exactly his Gem Sockets were, simply trusting him.

But from the words of the Beast Lord, Variant Life Sockets were actually unique and powerful, and this seemed to apply greatly to Alexander!

Alexander who at this moment pointed to the crown above the Beast Lord as he answered her as to why he was beckoning towards her.

"It seems we have lots to talk about, but first- hand that over."

...!

The eyes of the Beast Lord constricted.

Her Gem Armament?

This...

She wanted to say that this was her prized possession. That she was given under strict instructions to never lose it!

She hadn't even gotten the chance to use it as she was getting pummeled, and now...

She spoke to herself with resignation as the crown on her floated away and shrunk in size, going towards her new master.

"What use will this be to you when you already have so much power..."

She whispered this to herself, but she felt like the terrifying man ahead of her heard it as he raised his calm eyes towards her.

She hurriedly gave away the crown as she began to worry.

She began to worry about her brother...and her Peacock Beast Lineage if ever they had to face this terrifying being.

How many of them will end up like her today, or even worse?
