The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 61: Disastrous! I

As if a star had fallen!

And truly, the Gem Constellation, Endless Glacial Dream, had its fantastical Glacial Armor of the Deep destroyed around the Lightning Sparrow.

This action released the Rage of the Ice King, which was the equivalent of three times the Energeia Values of this Sparrow!

Its Energeia Values had already exceeded 6,000 after the most recent boosts for the Minion King Gem Recipe.

Its damage…was actually equivalent to the strike that the Beast Lord had released which had shattered the Glacial Armor of the Deep itself.

But the Rage of the Ice King was wide.

It was vast.

BOOOM!

As earthen earth and skies had entered a new age.

An ice age!

Deep waves of ice spread out and froze everything, heavy winds picking up where ice wasn't present as even glacial swirls of sharp cutting winds whipped around dangerously.

|OOOH!|

The roars of powerful Beasts could be heard as the Elder Commander Orcs shone with a dark light, the Elder Commander Elves shone with verdant lights, and the Elder Commander Peacock radiated a terrifying multicolored light that shattered!

The terrifying Beast Lord…was nowhere to be found.

But the most shocking thing was that amidst the glacial storms pulsing in the background, on the bodies of the Tier 6 Beasts…jagged injuries from the blasts of glacial ice could be seen.

Their expressions were immeasurably sour as none of them came out unscathed!

Behind them, the towering army led by Tier 5 and Tier 4 Beast Commanders came to a halt as they felt the chilling air and the massive glacier that extended its chill towards them, their eyes full of shock as they called out to their Commanders!

At the same time, the Lightning Sparrow that had done all of this was called backwards, its protection now having been shattered as after a minute, the light of the Gem Constellation would shine on it again.

At this time, Alexander sent his gaze up to the furthest point in the skies.

There, a gorgeous entity looked down coldly as the dress she adorned had a rip, with a portion of her fair leg frozen as the ice on it was broken.

She floated in the skies without any wings, a transparent Spatial light buzzing around her with extreme danger as she gazed towards Azazel with an extremely cold gaze at this moment.

They still believed him to be the Leader, and how could they ever think differently when Alexander gave no aura or indication of having tremendous waves of power?

Yet at this time, his thoughts flowed toward Claire and Azazel.

'Gang up on the Beast Lord and expose more of her power; if your Glacial Armor of the Deep breaks, she will be further weakened as you can pull back.'

…!

SAA!

Claire's small body lit up with cerulean lightning the moment this was uttered as she crossed the skies speedily towards the Beast Lord.

"OOW!" Azazel let out a roar of earth shaking power as tendrils of blood formed into rivers of blood beneath his feet, his figure being raised upwards as in his hands, spears of blood appeared.

The blood of the Barbarian burned brightly as he flung the spears of blood as if they were shot out of a massive bow, the figure of the Beast Lord teleporting away from her position multiple times to evade them as her gaze became colder, but this was when Claire arrived!

She brought with her a region of lightning.

And her own hands crackled with even deeper waves of lightning.

YAA!

Fearlessly, she did something she couldn't have imagined herself doing even hours ago.

She blatantly went against a Tier 7 Beast Lord!

Azazel and Claire cornered a terrifying Beast Lord in the skies, and the Caladrius Alexander was on cried out while the Golden Lion, Flame Hound and other Minions shot out Elemental attacks from a distance towards the injured Beast Commander.

Seeing the shocking scene unfolding, these Beast Commanders gritted their teeth and broke the ice around them to pull back.

"Use the forces of our armies! Pull back and let them wear down the enemy!"

They had an army of a few hundred thousand behind them.

Why take the brunt of the attacks themselves if they could wear down the Vigor and Energeia of their enemies?!

So instead, they would send their forces first in waves.

They would let them die in their stead while their enemies became more worn down!

'But…I do not wish to let you do that.'

Alexander's eyes observed the whole battlefield as well as the retreating Commanders.

This whole time, his mind was theorizing how he could act to end the battle with no casualties on his side, all the while obtaining new terrifying Minions and even getting his hands on rare Gems.

To achieve this, he had a few possible Gem Recipes ready, but when he actually analyzed everything…

'My greatest strength is currently the Minions.'

Yes.

He came to understand that his power, at its best, was being expressed through these Minions.

He was still too young, with his Vigor and Energeia not having grown to the point where his enemies were at!

Even at this moment, the levels of Vigor of the Lightning Sparrow or Nueire were a few thousand higher than his due to the Minion King Gem Recipe.

So, he came to a terrifying conclusion.

'Further increased the power of Minions.'

Make them even more terrifying.

As he looked at the Tier 6 Beasts pulling back while healing themselves with skills or pulling out Gems filled with Life force, Alexander gave the command towards his Enneagram.

'Sacrifice the Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe for another Gem Constellation.'

…!

[The Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe is now unusable and archived.]

[The passive effects of any abilities augmenting you are retained.]

[The Support Ability Gems within the sacrificed Corrupted Lightning King Gem Recipe are archived and selectable as Support Ability Gems for any future Recipes.]

[The Gem Constellation, Light of the Void, has been born.]

…!

His Enneagram spun with brilliance.

Yes.

He had seen how terrifying a Gem Constellation was in supporting currently existing recipes.

If one already made things this fantastical, why not two?

HUUM!

On the Enneagram, a second faint twinkling star appeared near its center, its color a deep shade of red.

The Gem Constellation, Light of the Void. Explore new worlds at M V L

It shone on Alexander's chest.

He then raised his head as only he could sense that in the distant skies, far past them, a second genuine star appeared and connected to him.

The moment this happened, everything went utterly nuts!
