The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 71: A Small Beast Lord Army ! I

Past the walls of the City of Anan.

The sheer aura of power radiating from Beast, Lord Vishpala was pressing down on all of the Beasts of Corruption within her army as every single one bent their head in terror

Alongside this show of power, the golden light radiating from Alexander had gone ahead to bind two Peacock Beast Commanders and another Orc Commander.

After the terrifying boons of the Gem Constellation, Endless Glacial Dream- the number of minions under Alexander had been raised to fourteen.

The induction of Azazel and Claire took two spots, with the first dominated Orc Minion taking the third as Beast Lord Vishpala was the fourth!

Now, adding two Tier 6 Peacocks and another Tier 6 Orc made it so that all 7 slots were taken!

"OOOH!"

A roar came from the second Orc Commander to be made a Minion as the same profound changes occurred within him and the Peacocks, their power stretching upwards and approaching the level of a Beast Lord with surety.

Their Vigor and Energeia Values would even come to exceed Beast Lords as they were much higher than the values that Beast Lord Vishpala had before her transformation!

But where was she now?

As many thoughts and calculations flashed in his mind, Alexander glanced at Beast Lord Vishpala- his Enneagram spinning calmly as her life force was analyzed.

[Tier 7 Peacock Beast Lord- Vishpala]:: 7 Gem Sockets with a Main Ability relating to the rare element of Space.

[Vigor]:: 38,581/38,581 > 179,652 (+898,260 Glacial Armor of the Deep)

[Energeia]:: 38,333/38,339 > 178,991

"..."

The values of Vishpala alone were utterly unreal.

They were over ten times greater than even Alexander's own values of Vigor and Energeia as of course, his already rapidly rising Values were no match for entities who had been alive for much longer than him and enjoyed the boons of their Gems much more.

But observing her values and the values of the Tier 6 Minions he was currently gaining made him look at two things.

So...

"Take down all Tier 4 and Tier 5 Elven Beasts and bring me their Ascendant Life Gems."

...!

Beginning Tier 4 and higher, one would have Ascendant Life Gems that accumulate life force.

One could use these to raise their Vigor and Energeia ever higher, and Alexander could even use them to complete the assimilation of Gem Recipes within his Enneagram!

Naturally, they had to be obtained en masse as this was another path to elevating his own values.

The hearts of his Beast Minions clenched at the command, but the Orc Minions moved the fastest as the crimson wings behind them flapped, their hands clenched as the blue and red tendrils of lightning formed into chains that they grasped and flung towards the subdued Elven Armies!

The chains were like scorching beams from hell that scorched anything they touched, Elven Beasts beginning to be razed down en masse as roars and agonizing yells boomed out.

Azazel and Claire moved to do the same as well- Azazel especially as he had been a Gem Master for decades.

He had seen friends die to Beasts again and again.

He knew how entire City Fortresses were overrun and millions killed over the years.

He held absolutely no sympathy for them as he crackled with lightning and used his own body to fly across the battlefield like a bomb that pulverized the Elven Beasts he came across!

It was bloody.

It was devastating.

It was....

"War..."

Alexander said this single word as he didn't turn his eyes away from it.

He commanded it. He would not turn away from it!
