The Empyreal Gem Master

Humanoid auras.

This feeling was starkly different from Beasts that held wild auras of savagery!

In no time, from the direction where one of Jujugan's glacial spears had smashed a Tier 8 Mutated Gem Chimera towards.

The tall trees shimmered and actually bent sideways as if a terrifying force was coming out, and in the next moment- the auras they felt became clear.

And the faces of Vishpala and other Minions became stern.

Even the face of the Vigor Flayer Lich who had begun to move around busily had the flames in its sockets flickering radiantly as it also gave a few glances over!

Because there, between the cloudy mist covering the trees, the figures of multiple human entities came out with a burst of radiance.

What was maddening was the fact that among them, three terrifying auras radiated nine points of light on their chests.

Tier 9 Human Emperors.

Two were adorned in golden full-body armor as only their eyes could be seen, while the third was behind them- sitting serenely on top of a small white cloud that was surrounded by nine Tier 8 Human Kings!

Their gazes were filled with care and suspicion as the two sides looked at each other.

"Priestess, these are…?"

One of the Tier 9 Emperors adorned in golden plated armor inlaid with gems asked sternly towards the white-haired woman that he and all the others surrounded.

Priestess, she was called.

Her white hair pulsed with a crimson-gold light as she spoke out calmly.

"Heretics that will stand against us. Look at their defiling life itself? Demons and Beasts within their ranks, as well as unholy undead. They are here to deter us from achieving our aims on this Sacred Mountain. Kill them all."

…!

Shocking words were uttered out by her loudly as her gorgeous face was filled with distaste while she gazed towards The Night Walker and the Vigor Flayer Lich especially!

Alexander gazed towards these beings with a cold light after hearing the words of the one known as Priestess.

Behind him, the Vigor Flayer Lich was making himself busy with the massive body of the Tier 9 Nine Tailed Emperor- and it had dragged it and the other bodies of Tier 8 Mutated Gem Chimeras that were decimated by the spears of Jujugan towards the black earth of death where its Legion was rising.

These corpses would soon join its Legion!

The Night Walker stood beside Alexander as he voiced out with warning and caution.

"They hold a unique different signature compared to you, Young Master. They should be from another World aside from Ephesus. That woman in the middle...seems to be infinitely close to a Ruler. As for their animosity towards us…hmph!"

The Night Walker was proactive as his voice boomed out towards these new forces.

"You all…instead of sharing information during this time when the reality of our worlds seems to be shifting, you would rather wage war?"

…!

He spoke towards them.

Towards the Priestess more than anyone else.

And yet...his words fell on deaf ears as the Priestess rose up from her cloud with a stern face.

"Do not even let the words of the Undead be heard as they beguile and destroy. Let the Faith of the White Mistress protect you all to empower them!"

HUUM!

The body of the Priestess radiated a dazzling gold light.

A light that covered the two Tier 9 Human Emperors and the nine Tier 8 Human Kings- the pressure they radiated becoming that much more oppressive as golden tendrils of lightning began to coalesce around them!

"Young Master, this will be just a little dangerous."

Waves of freezing water had begun to gather around him.

Further behind, the Vigor Flayer Lich had begun to infuse the Energeia of Death into the previously defeated combatants as they would be ready soon!

But before the battle could begin…the eyes of the Priestess pulsed with golden light as she spoke clearly once more as she looked between Alexander and his forces.

"The greatest enemy is that young devil there. Disrupt his state of heart by killing that woman inside the bone dragon first. After that use the chaos to kill him before anything else."

…!

Words that caused Alexander's mind to buzz echoed out.

His expression became utterly livid.

The young woman that the Priestess pointed to was naturally Claire!

Kill her first?

His anger burned with calmness as he burnt more of the Mutated Gems to replenish his Energeia.

He then spoke commandingly towards Jujugan as he sought for more Energeia to summon another Undead!

"Focus everything you have on that distasteful woman. Leave everything else to others."

…!

He spoke commandingly as Jujugan wanted to place his input, but he listened to the command of his Master as he shot out like a pulled arrow!

At the same time, behind Alexander, another dazzling rift opened as tens of thousands of Energeia were used for a third Undead Summon.

WU! WU!

A piercing and cruel cry echoed out as rapidly, the figure of an Undead whose body seemed forged from crystalline obsidian steel emerged.

An Abyss Knight!

He had four hands and two heads- broadswords filled with death grasped in each hand as he seemed like a dominating force of pure destruction.

On its chest, nine dazzling obsidian gems radiated a light of terror as they pulsed!

"Awaiting. Your. Orders."

Its voice was like grating knives as sadly, its tier was more so closer towards the Vigor Flayer Lich than the enlightened Night Walker.

But this was okay for Alexander.

He spoke commandingly as he directed both this Abyss Knight and Vigor Flayer Lich, along with its budding Legion, towards a single target.

"Take down that Tier 9 Emperor there- you both can handle this?"

He pointed towards the golden armored Tier 9 Emperor on the right.

The Abyss Knight and Vigor Flayer Lich both affirmed as they also shot out, and what remained…

"The rest of you…can you not handle a single Tier 9 Emperor?"

He spoke towards Vishpala, Anastasia, and other Minions.

Their eyes blazed with light as Anastasia was the first to rise up, her cry valiant as she shot out!

As for the nine Tier 8 Human Kings protecting the Priestess that had called for the death of Claire?

"I will take care of the rest."

…!

His Enneagram was spinning rapidly as it devoured more and more energy from the mutated ability gems to recover Energeia.

At the same time…

[The progress of the fusion of the soul with the Gem Constellation, Endless Glacial Dream is currently 0.01%.]

Rapid advancement was being made as parts of his soul were taken away and regenerated just as quickly.

At the same time, a verdant star shone far above as he pulled upon Limited Nature Manipulation.

And instantly.

Around the nine Tier 8 Human Kings and even the Priestess standing on a cloud with a cold gaze, a terrifying forest bloomed!
