The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 38: A Terror! II



His voice held a hint of undeniable power in it.

Remembering the fate of its Master and even what the Golden Flame Lion had done, the Arctic Wolf also whimpered and bowed its head as…

A golden hue flowed from Alexander and into the Arctic Wolf as another connection was formed!

[The Tier 4 Arctic Wolf has been successfully bound into the Enhanced Minion Lifeforce Support Gem.]

…!

The voice of the Enneagram rang out in his mind as his entrance entirely changed the state of the battlefield.

GRRR…

He rose up, his feet domineeringly stepping over the white-blue fur of the Arctic Wolf as the Golden Flame Lion also came to stand beside it.

It was an utterly unfathomable scene that Branch Leader Julius and all other Gem Masters, and even the Beasts of Corruption looked at in a stupor!

This unknown Gem Master...just came and killed one of the most powerful Tier 4 Ascendant Gem Masters on the battlefield, killing two of his Minions before he seemingly proceeded to put the other 2 in his control.

Did this actually make sense?

What could possibly make such a thing possible?!

Nobody knew.

Nobody could even guess.

But in his head, Alexander heard the monotone voice continue.

[The Support Ability Gem- Size Enhancement Support, has been added to the Minion King Gem Recipe.]

…!

The name of a new Gem Recipe came out.

And a second Support Ability Gem was added as four more remained!

The moment this support Gem was placed within Alexander’s Enneagram…

AWOO!

The Arctic Wolf he stood on howled as it began to get bigger.

It used to be over 10 Meters large, but its size continued to expand as the Golden Flame Lion was the same!

Their bones and musculature creaked and became reinforced with a brilliant light as they grew to be twice their original sizes, each one seeming larger than a mid-sized house with multiple floors at this moment.

[Size Enhancement Support] had a simple definition.

It stated that [...the resultant product(s) of the linked Ability Gem will have the area of effect or size enhanced by a factor of two.]

A simple enough definition.

But the results were powerful ones as when applied to Minions, they were considered the products of the Minion Manipulation Ability Gem as their sheer size doubled!

And size equated to power.

But this wasn’t all.

The Enneagram was not done as it hand-picked fantastical Support Ability Gems that had shocking compatibility and efficacy among those that Alexander currently had on hand.

[The Support Ability Gem- Lightning Grounds Support, has been added to the Minion King Gem Recipe.]

Another simple-sounding Support Ability Gem was added.

And yet the moment it came to be, around the enlarged bodies of the Arctic Wolf and Golden Flame Lion…tendrils of blue lightning began to crash around them as even they looked around with eyes that showed they didn’t completely understand!

But the tendrils of lightning crashing around them felt connected to them, as if they were an extension of their own limbs.

It was powerful, but also temporary.

The definition of this Support Ability Gem was also a simple one.

[...The effect of Lightning Grounds is temporarily applied to the output of the supported Ability, lasting for 10 seconds and dealing 200% of the maximum possible damage. It requires 30 minutes before it can be activated again.]

A support ability whose effects only lasted 10 seconds as it even had a limitation of a cool down.

It didn’t seem like a good choice at first glance, but Alexander was slowly beginning to develop trust with his Enneagram as he knew this monotone wonder in his chest was far more calculative than him.

And just as this thought came, the next dazzling addition of a Support Gem confirmed it.

[The Support Ability Gem- Unlimited Duration Support, has been added to the Minion King Gem Recipe.]

…!

[Unlimited Duration Support]:: …Any linked Gem that produces Auras, Buffs, Debuffs, Curses, or Temporary Elemental Effects will have its duration extended infinitely at the cost of reducing its effects by 75%.

The momentary tendrils of lightning flashing around the bodies of his Minions became a permanent effect.

They were slightly weaker, but they still deal half of their maximum damage output around them at all times from here on out!

And this…would be applicable not just to these two Minions, but any other Minions that Alexander added.

It was a genuine usage of support ability Gems that he wasn’t even thinking about, and his Enneagram wasn’t even done!

There were still three more Sockets to fill up as he was curious just how deadly this Minion King Gem Recipe was about to become.

But in his musings, the enemies from afar arrived. Your next chapter awaits on freewebnovel

The Beasts that had been pushing forward now felt an aura of fear from the unknown appearance of a Gem Master that eradicated their commander and took control of his minions soon after, only for these same Minions to become larger and begin to unleash a storm of lighting around them soon after.

So the enemies slightly pulled back from the Walls of Carthage as Alexander’s mere appearance was that much of a menace!

But they still circled Carthage.

Because behind them, the powerful auras of multiple Tier 4 Beasts arrived at this moment- and they seemed of the same creed as the other Beasts of Corruption that had made their appearance here!

Another Four-Link Water Bison.

Two Four-Link Flame Crows in addition to the one attacking Branch Leader Axel in the skies.

Behind them, clouds of Three-Link and Two-Link Flame Crows followed.

Another two Four-Link Flame Hounds who were followed by a dense tide of weaker Tiers of Flame Hounds!

And lastly…Another golden haired Galanis Bloodline Branch Leader who stood on a unique Aerial Beast that had white and green feathers.

His gaze was currently livid as he looked towards Alexander with eyes of bloody murder.

Five Tier 4 Beasts came with him, and he stood on a unique unknown Aerial Beast himself!

This being looked towards Alexander as he voiced out with pain while looking around him.

"You killed my Brother. You actually...killed my Brother. Do you understand what you have done?!"

…!

His life force was vigorous.

He was not reliant on Minions like Branch Leader Neiman.

His presence as a Tier 4 Ascendant Gem Master showed itself through his anger freely as his capabilities were robust!

"All this Incursion was bound to be was the retrieval of a weak Five-Link Gem Blueprint in a backwater place that had no equivalent Tier 5 Gem Masters to be a contender! That was all. Your people would have been spared. Your families would have been left alone. But now…you actually spilled the blood of a Tier 4 Ascendant Galanis Bloodline Gem Master- my own family!

For this…you have doomed yourself and this entire City Fortress to death!"

HUUM!

His words boomed out like bells of the end.

And Alexander did not interrupt him whatsoever as he wanted the time- his Enneagram finishing the optimization and adding of the last three Support Ability Gems in his new Gem Recipe.

He only listened coldly as this being continued.

"Do you think this Beast Tide led by Tier 4 Beasts is anything? Do you think this is terrifying? You have stepped on the path of something you do not even understand. Your city was only the first among many others. You would have been witness to the glory of the Galanis Bloodline as this whole world changed. But now…just die."

He was angry.

He was mourning.

He was filled with rage as he waved his hands forward, and the thousands of hesitant Beasts surged forth like an endless tide!
