The Empyreal Gem Master

Chapter 122 Change! II

The Alfanian, Thasana, kept his valiant demeanor as he spoke out in a deep voice- his voice being tinged with a bit of authority from Ryanara to ensure that he could be understood. Read latest chapters at empire

"After our bodies were teleported into these lands, we found ourselves surrounded by the gray mist that isolates your vision and hearing tightly. There were dozens of us- dozens! But we appeared in the same place as Beasts who attacked with wild abandon soon after. It was too chaotic- only half of us managed to survive. But from that half..."

His face turned sour.

He looked at the bloodied remnants of those who followed him as he continued.

"Our remaining forces were further scattered when suddenly, the space around became turbulent with spatial Energeia, massive rifts forming that instantly swept up many others towards a different location. That is all that is currently out there- darkness, beasts, and massive rifts that can sweep you away at any moment!"

...!

A light of ferociousness crossed his eyes as he turned his head down.

"Great Princess, I am sorry that I couldn't save more. I..."

He kept his head lowered apologetically as he clenched his fists, but Ryanara only waved her hands with a somber expression as she walked towards Alexander.

[It's okay. This Ephesusian Human Ruler, Alexander, has graced us refuge on his Mountain. We will gather more information and begin rescue efforts soon to save as many as we can.]

She naturally came to stand before Alexander as the valiant Alfanian Warrior, Thasana, frowned once more while he looked towards Alexander up and down.

Alexander seemed younger than any of them here, but he was truly a genuine Ruler? One that even the Great Princess treated cordially? Did he not know her status as a Great Princess? That even Rulers of the World of Alfana treated her with decorum?!

Seeing the gaze of conflict and veiled envy in the eyes of Thasana, Ryanara became stern as her authority coalesced around her eyes and smashed into him.

[You will treat those above you with respect! We are no longer in the World of Alfana, nor do we have the positions we used to. Understand?!]

She didn't think she had to say this out loud for her people to understand, but such actions couldn't continue any further as towards such an outburst, the Tier 9 Emperor, Thasana, held his head down and kneeled as he apologized.

"Forgive me, Great Princess!"

...!

Alexander watched this melodrama play out while shaking his head nonchalantly towards Ryanara who was looking at him with an apologetic expression.

[Forget about it. Check on your injured and get ready for any more surprises.]

She had only just heard Jujugan mention this topic not too long ago- this being a stage that the strongest of the Human Lineages would seek for.

And yet...she just had it so easily?

She didn't explode in front of others, but in private, she hugged Alexander closely while trying to figure out just how the hell it was possible.

But he didn't give any answers as he only smiled while pointing to the corpse of the dead dragon.

"That's the least of your worries right now. We have to prepare for your increase in gem sockets."

...!

Her eyes opened wide.

She looked at the corpse of the dragon, and then to herself.

And her mind went blank with shock while in front of her, tendrils of Covenant of Gold began to leak from Alexander and snake towards the corpse of a Tier 9 Emperor, other tendrils sinking into Claire as she came to and blushed when she felt his waves of energy entering her chest!

A distance away from the Sacred Gold Mountain- at least a few hundred miles.

[Are you sure it's this direction, Lupiso? We've been going in circles this whole fuckin time looking for some gold mountain.]

A massive serpentine Dragon without wings spoke out in a threatening tone as it looked towards a Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon wasn't the only other Ruler here as around it, four other dazzling auras of Rulers, including the Wingless One-Eyed Serpent, blared!

Five Rulers in total.

Each of them was a titanic behemoth of a beast as at the forefront, the Black Dragon licked its lips while replying.

[It should be. I can smell it! A gold mountain filled with an austere authority, and puny, weak Rulers actually gaining control of it. I wouldn't have gone around searching for others if I could have taken it myself...]

...!

Unbeknownst to those on the Sacred Gold Mountain, a heavy surprise was already heading towards them!
