Gacha Sovereign

Chapter 527: Situation

527 Situation

In Alex's Special Realm,

The training rooms were fully occupied by Alex and the others, while Anya made a battle plan for the raid.

Sherry and Kyle were trying to at least reach the 6-Star Martial Emperor stage within five months. On the other hand, Stina needed to reach 10-Star Martial Emperor to become equal against their sect master since Leoz needed to take care of the mysterious Martial Monarch.

As for Alex, he had more objectives than them as not only did he need to reach 4-Star Martial Emperor, but he also needed to progress to Emperor Stage for both weapons. From all the calculations he made, it was possible if he did not do anything other than practices, including the hot steamy night's activity.

Anna was away, so she did not really care, while Anya understood the circumstances. She rather left him alone for years than seeing him die. After all, a few years was short compared to thousands of years of waiting, so it was not a big deal for her.

His system did not say a single thing even though he got 350 Gacha Tickets and 3 Gacha Cards, giving him precious time to focus. In the first month, Alex advanced to 2-Star Martial Emperor.

Without any rest, Alex quickly strove for the 3-Star Martial Emperor. Luckily, it only took him a month and a half for a stage with his Spirit Gems and Gathering Array,?allowing him to reach 4-Star Martial Emperor within four months. In the last month, Alex stopped cultivating, focusing on becoming a Sword Emperor and Spear Emperor.

Alex pondered what kind of original technique he would create. Considering he could only make one for each weapon, he needed to think carefully about this. He had a few concepts ready, but only a few seemed powerful.

In the end, he decided the first Sword Art he would create. He called it Triple Draws.

Although it was not a sword draw technique, it took the concept of that. He noticed that his three usual Sword Arts were powerful, but they lacked speed, allowing the first elder of Joyful Union Sect almost killed him previously.

This technique emphasized speed from the Sword Drawing Technique, creating three powerful slashes in a split second. The technique might not be considered a Heaven Tier Sword Art as there was no nature part of this technique. However, it was at this time where the Triple Draws showed superiority.

He could combine all his techniques with his Triple Draws. In other words, if he used his Blade of Conquest with Triple Draws, he could send three Sword Waves almost simultaneously, making this technique very powerful. And if Alex decided to use it along with his spear, he could easily create six Sword Waves, turning into a far more powerful attack.

Unfortunately, the limit was three swings, and he even had stretched it out to reach three swings somehow. If a normal person created this technique, it would only be a normal Sword Drawing Technique, while a genius might come up with Dual Draws. It was only because of his Sword Mastery and unique Sword Intent giving him the chance to create this powerful Original Technique.

It took him three weeks to create this technique and stepped on the uncharted territory. Still, he officially reached the Sword Emperor Stage.

At first, Alex was a bit unsure whether to make his Spear Technique right after or not, considering he only had one week left. Ultimately, Alex decided to give up. Unlike his Sword Technique, he did not have any picture of what kind of Spear Technique he would make, so thinking about it would take a long time.

He came out of the training room, walking straight to the main room where he found Anya with a troubled expression.

"Anya? Why do you have such expressions?" Alex looked at her with a worried expression, wondering if something big had happened when he cultivated.

"Hmm... I have a few good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Anya asked, letting out a long sigh.

Alex pondered for a moment, recalling when his system usually gave him good things first before pummeling his mood, so he said, "Good news then."

[Thank you for thinking about me, Host.]

"Shut up." Alex chuckled.

"Alright." Anya ignored their conversation and proceeded with the good news. "First of all, almost all spirits have somehow managed to reach 7-Star Martial Emperors with Jeanne reaching 9-Star and Leoz to 4-Star. Only me, Greg, Vera, and Jean have yet to reach 7-Star, but considering your Gacha Tickets now, you can easily use EXP Cards to raise our level."

"Oh, I forgot about it. I got 350 Gacha Tickets and 3 Gacha Cards back then." Alex nodded, imagining that his spirits were killing machines. He could feel he had at least 800 Gacha Tickets at this moment. In any case, he would raise Leoz to 4-Star Martial Monarch and Jeanne to 10-Star Martial Emperor or 1-Star Martial Monarch, depending on how many EXP Cards he could get in the next Gacha session. "What is the second good news?"

"The second news is about the Blackwade Clan, they have agreed with our terms and don't sell anything to the Joyful Union Sect. At the very least, Nicole did not find any elders smuggling pills to them."

"Good, we don't have a reason to attack them then." Alex nodded.

"Yeah. Besides that, Song Yu has raised her own force within these months. Though Nicole has yet to get the exact number, we can assume they have five thousand Blackwade Clan disciples."

"Oh? Five thousand?" Alex looked down, thinking it should not be possible to gather all those people without being noticed by the Fire God Clan. "Any movement from Fire God Clan?"

"No. They have not noticed it."

"What?!" Alex was dumbfounded. He did not know if it was because the Fire God Clan was incompetent or Blackwade Clan was that amazing. Either way, this was a good thing for him. At the start, he thought there would only be one thousand people from the Blackwade Clan, but with this, the chance to destroy the Joyful Union Sect increased.

"Yeah. You won't believe what we found. It's not Song Yu alone that raises the force, but three people. I don't know why but it seems the former head of Blackwade Clan also joins the fray, helping Song Yu in this matter. Here is the report." She handed a paper, containing the date of the people and how many they had gathered at the moment.

Alex took the paper and read it, dropping his jaw the moment he saw the third person. "Seriously..."

"Yes." Anna smiled. "In any case, according to our speculation, they at least have five thousand people, consisting of two hundred Martial Emperors, one thousand Martial Kings and three thousand Martial Lords."

Alex nodded. "Actually, I have come up with a plan to deal a great blow on the Joyful Union Sect in the big war. From my prediction, I should be able to stop at least fifteen thousand people, allowing us to gain a big advantage."

"Oh, A trap? I like it." She smirked, realizing Alex's plan.

"Yeah. It seems the good news ends here," Alex said, wondering if he had another good thing to know.

"Actually, there is one good news, but it's linked to bad news." She looked at Alex with a troubled look.

"Oh?" Alex nodded, thinking, 'Here it comes.'

"Yeah. Evelyn became Martial King two months ago and reached this continent two months ago."

"..." He furrowed his eyebrows. If that was the good news, the bad news should be related to Evelyn. A bad feeling rose in his heart.

"She has been captured by the Joyful Union Sect."

"!!!" Alex opened his eyes wide. "What?!"

"Yeah. I will explain the chronology process according to the N squad. After becoming a Martial King, the Thiveapia Kingdom and Heavenly Sword Sect threw a party. Unfortunately, the hype died down as soon as she announced she was going to this continent.

"Despite many oppositions, especially coming from the Thiveapia Kingdom, no one could stop her from going to this continent. Do you remember when you used both weapons a few months ago? I think that leads them to find out your identity.

"Though they might not have the courage to venture to the Willow Continent because of your master, they still have that useless young master who is bothering our Rose right now. By knowing Evelyn's schedule from him, they captured her. In fact, this might be the perfect time to do it, considering we are too occupied with this war thingy and believed that Evelyn would reach the Blackwade Clan.

"I'm sorry, Alex. If only I had predicted this would happen, I would ask Rose to make her stay on the Willow Continent until this storm passes... Only Ngina on the Willow Continent anyway, and he is protecting Rose, not Evelyn."

Alex pinched his eyebrows, closing his eyes. "How is her situation?"

He feared that she would get inhuman treatments from them since they were an R-18 Sect. Fortunately, his answer came in the form of shaking his head.

"Because of the preparation of this war, they can't do anything to Evelyn. After all, she is their current weapon against you. According to the N squad, she is locked down in their basement."

"I see. That's good then." He felt relieved. "I could not... no, I don't want to imagine what kind of inhuman treatment she would get in there. Luckily, since she has yet to serve her purpose, she is safe. In that way, I will rescue her by myself. Just ask the exact position from the N Squad, and I will go there with my teleportation array."

"I will. There is actually one more thing. I feel this is a good setback to Evelyn. From our little black cat, Evelyn's aura has changed from childish to mature. Just like when you decide to get rid of your low self-esteem after sealing Alicia. I feel she can achieve far. Rose is still the best though, at least in terms of potential." Anya smiled.

"I see..." Alex fell into silence, not knowing what to say. It could be said he was also at fault here, considering she was captured because of him. However, even after reminding her again and again, Evelyn decided to stick with him. Maybe after this time, he needed to talk about it to her, whether they should sever this relationship or not. After all, he was like a pseudo mentor, which was not a really great status.

"How is Rose?"

"She is a 7-Star Martial Lord right now. I plan to give her a lightning gem to enhance her lightning power after reaching Martial King, though with some trial. She also avenged her parents by destroying 'that' family. After knowing how bad that family is, she kills them all instead of their young master alone.

"As for her pursuer, he is still persistent despite being rejected hundreds of times. She does not want to trouble you, so she has yet to kill him."

"Hmm... After destroying the Joyful Union Sect, I will kill that family." He nodded.

"Sure." She nodded, recalling something. "Ah, one last thing. It seems the Joyful Union Sect is pretty daring by sending one of their elders to participate in the auction."

"Ho..." Alex was astonished. "Then, we shall use that head as a war declaration."

"Yeah. That's what I am planning to do." She nodded.

"What about the first elder and that person?"

"Much to my dismay, they are still alive. Though they will die in this war." She said with killing intent.

"Is that all?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I believe so."

"Then, I am going to open my Gacha first. Tell the others to stand by since I am going to summon them around the time I finish the auction."

"That's right. You are planning to attack them right after the auction ends..." Anya nodded. "Don't worry, I will prepare everything for you, though you need a few things from the Blackwade Clan for your plan."

"Yeah. I know." Alex nodded. "Just proceed with what you can do at the moment and leave the rest to me."
