The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 66: Between Life and Death! II

Just how much different was a Tier 6 Orc Commander after becoming Alexander's Minion?

The answer was truly a terrifying one as there were Support Gems multiplying the Vigor and Energeia values of Minions, their size, as well as an all around increase of parameters from the Gem Constellation, Endless Glacial Dream!

The difficult expression on the Tier 6 Orc Minion explained this as in his eyes, immense shock coursed through him while he sensed his own power.

This was possible? One could actually do this?

With the connection from the Ascendant Master, he even had a gauge of the quantity of the level of power he currently held.

When he sensed it.

When he felt its heavy oppression.

He found himself questioning…was this not the overabundance of Life Force that could only be found within the bodies of the Dragon Beast Lineage and the other Rare Royal Beast Clans?!

[Tier 6 Orc Beast Minion]:: 6 Gem Sockets with a Main Ability relating to the element of Earth.

[Vigor]:: 23,555/23,555 > 105,998/105,998 (+529,990/529,990 Glacial Armor of the Deep)

[Energeia]:: 11,333/11,390 > 51,001/51,255

"..."

The values of power reached were astonishing and completely eclipsed anything else on this current battlefield!

The effect of the Glacial Armor of the Deep on low values of Vigor that were in the hundreds or a few thousands was negligible.

But when they reached tens or even a hundred thousand?

The thin transparent layer of frost around the obsidian Tier 6 Orc made him akin to an impenetrable moving Fortress that far outclassed anything on this battlefield.

The Tier 6 Orc sighed and shook his head while he stared at the ashen and wrathful Beast Lord Vishpala before him.

"You…you…!"

He knew what she wanted to say.

That he was rebelling. How dare he rebel and join the enemy.

But he also knew Vishpala was smart.

She could see the bright crimson wings of Lightning behind him and the swirl of a lightning storm reminiscent of all enemy Beasts she had been facing.

She knew what this naturally meant.

She knew that the Tier 6 Orc Commander was subjugated and turned into an enemy force!

But her mind seemed to be utterly defiant at the fact that his power…seemed to cause her senses to pulse with such deafening danger at this moment.

The crown above her, filled with Gems, began to spin rapidly as she bellowed out with fury.

"Dishonorable humans!"

…!

Dishonorable!

The moment the massive Orc appeared before her, her heart shuddered as this was one of the few things repeating in her head.

How it was impossible, and how dishonorable they were by saying they would do one thing and then proceed to do the direct opposite.

Her bestial eyes turned around and gazed at the battlefield behind her where the retreating Tier 6 Peacocks and remaining Tier 6 Orcs were surrounded by titanic Beasts with crimson wings, and even the figures of Azazel and Claire who were facing her.

But now, they didn't even pay attention to her.

Her heart lurched as she instantly understood.

Her eyes searched the skies.

And she didn't have to seek for a long time as there, past the Walls of Anan, she found the floating figure of a young man who seemed to be sitting in the very skies.

As if there was a clear platform nobody could see, he sat in the skies while looking towards her with eyes that didn't seem entirely human!

Eyes that seemed to be calculating and analyzing everything coldly, with emotion flashing within them every now and then.

Especially when she called them dishonorable.

She looked at this young man and his calm gaze that stared directly at her as it subconsciously caused her to shudder.

"You…are the true master of these forces?"

She asked a question she already knew the answer to.

The young man floating in the skies didn't even answer her as she instead made an undeniable statement.

"In the next few minutes, you will either go through a great deal of pain and possibly die. Or…you can skip all of that and be like your Orc friend there. Submit. Otherwise, your long lives come to an end here."

…!

The words were said not just to her, with the eyes of this terrifying young man gazing towards the remaining Tier 6 Beasts as well.

Submission, or Death.

The choice they were given was a clear one, as when Beast Lord Vishpala heard it, she closed her eyes.

Eyes that then opened with vibrant defiance!

Who was she?

She was a fucking Beast Lord!

She-...!

BOOM!

As if her defiance was seen, Alexander, in the distant skies, made a dismissive motion as an instant later, the towering Tier 6 Orc Minion flashed above her and swung his obsidian fist down.

Its size alone covered the whole surface area of the sizable Peacock form of the Beast Lord.

It was utterly terrifying!

The obsidian fist, moving at a speed of a millionth the speed of light, smashed into the dazzling bejeweled crown first, its force being so devastating that this crown that pushed down sank into the head of Vishpala before a horrific force smashed her from the skies.

….!

As if she were a green meteor, she was flung towards the glacial ground that met her within a matter of seconds.

BOOM!

Tens of thousands of weaker Beasts of the army down below were pulverized into blood and gore by the massive body falling from the skies, a crater being formed below as green and gold tendrils of light sought to protect a single beast lord!

But…

BOOM!

The earth quaked and trembled once more as the even more massive figure of the Orc Minion also touched down, his legs that were like black mountains smashing another few thousand Beasts to actual pulp.

After he landed, he didn't even give Beast Lord Vishpala the chance to recover, or to even use the terrifying light of the Gem Armament crown to its full potential.

The Orc Minion only raised his hands, which were akin to ancient obsidian mountains…and brought them smashing down onto the crater.

BOOM!

Once.

BOOM!

Twice.

…!

The earth trembled rhythmically as a Beast Lord was being smashed to oblivion!
