The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 48: Into the Breach! I

It was a new dawn on Carthage!

At this moment, drops of rain still continued to fall over the City Fortress as people within still felt like they could hear the distinct roars of Beasts.

Families held each other close, whether it was those closest to the walls and heard the roars of beasts the most, or those in the depths of the city that were more well off.

All faced an equally terrifying fear ever so briefly on this day.

A few hours had passed since the heavy and shocking battle outside the Walls of Carthage, with stories beginning to spread about a mysterious Gem Master from the Ascendant Branch of the Asmodeus Bloodline coming down to push back the Beasts that were invading their city.

Very few knew that one of the Mortal Branch Leaders of the Galanis Bloodline was killed, and one was captured.

Even fewer understood the titanic Beasts that had taken the Tides of Beasts back into the Den of Corruption, nor what would happen next!

Within the City of Carthage.

Near the Walls, there was a Command Center surrounded by Barracks where ready to deploy Gem Masters would be stationed.

Inside the Command Center, which looked like a dome-shaped black building made of reinforced bricks, Alexander stared out of the glass windows as rain continued to fall on them ceaselessly.

Beside him, the Caladrius Minion was doing its best to suck up to its new master, perched on a table to his right as it also looked out.

"Have you decided?"

Behind him, his Father’s voice took him out of his reverie as Alexander turned around and nodded with affirmation.

His voice was low as he looked at his father and spoke.

"We can’t sit back and do nothing. If we will all be killed by powerful Beasts so long as our power doesn’t match up...then I will do what I can to increase our power. And there are still the Elven Beasts of Corruption for me to pay back what they have done!"

...!

His revenge.

His survival.

He only saw him as the powerful and distant father of the childhood friend who was always around him.

But now, their roles seemed very different.

He looked towards the figure of Claire coming to stand in front of him as he reached out to pat her head while speaking.

"She’ll be safer next to me than anyone else. I have seven massive Beasts that can eradicate even Tier 4 Beasts within seconds, and that’s not even counting myself."

"...!"

His words made it so that not s single possible argument could be given, Branch Leader Axel adopting a weathered look of defeat as he slumped down on the chair behind the desk that Alexander’s father was just on.

"Just...keep her safe. Please. I cannot lose her too."

A father earnestly pleaded for his daughter’s safety.

Alexander nodded as he looked out into the ongoing rain, gazing into the distant skies as there...

CAA!

The cry of a Flame Crow whose flames were not extinguished by ongoing rain appeared near the Walls of Carthage, turning its ferocious face and staring out protectively towards the direction of the Den of Corruption.

"I’ll leave one of the Titan Beasts here just in case anything comes. But for now, we will set off towards the Den of Corruption...and then into the gateway leading towards the lands of the Mortal Branch of the Galanis Bloodline."

The plan had already been refined and gone over a few times as they broke down the knowledge that the Caladrius let out.

Alexander’s father nodded as he spoke out.

"Take Azazel and a few others. As of right now, you are their Commanding Gem Master as they will follow your orders."

...!

Plans were made.

Now, they would be carried out!
