The Empyreal Gem Master

He had 7 total remaining Ruler’s Covenant Authority points, and three went towards the Gem Constellation, Light of the Void.

It was only a matter of which Gem Constellation would be first, as Alexander already knew Endless Glacial Dream and Yggdrasil would follow, but at this particular moment, he needed Light of the Void more than anything else.

He only looked coldly towards the crazed Priestess emanating a deadly light of power as behind him, his crimson wings of lightning began to burn with a golden hue.

…!

On the back of his hand, the tattoos of three more golden leaves appeared as the stigmata on his hand became more and more pronounced.

He could feel the brightness of the Gem Constellation.

At this moment, he felt like compared to others, it was pulled down all that much closer to him- or his status simply went higher.

No matter which was the actual reality, the crimson lightning that bathed him and his forces became absolutely maddening.

|The Speed that can be achieved with the Wings of Crimson Light is Half a Millionth the Speed of Light.]

[Under the Nature Defiance inherent ability, Limited Vacuum Adaptation has been attained. For a brief period of time, you can overcome the bindings of your Physiology and be capable of surviving in the vacuum of space and other domains that lower level life forms cannot inhabit.]

…!

Brilliance.

Behind his back.

Behind Claire.

Behind Vishpala and Anastasia.

Behind Jujugan and other Tier 9 Emperor Undead!

The allure of gold bloomed amidst the crimson radiance of their wings as at this moment, the speed of Half a Millionth the Speed of Light erupted with fervor.

SAA!

Jujugan was instantly to the side of the Priestess, her eyes not even being able to follow such speed as her power activated innately.

White gold brilliance erupted around her to form a shield that clashed and vibrated with the terrifying frost filled hands of Jujugan, but he was not alone!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Anastasia and Vishpala smashed onto her white gold shield as it buzzed with defiance, the eyes of the Priestess within turning mad as she bellowed out.

"I have faith on my side! Defiance of faith is not an option!"

She had spent 4 Ruler’s Covenant Authority points just like Alexander.

She didn’t have a Gem Constellation, but she could have enhanced a single part of her twice, or four parts of her once.

Whichever it was….

BOOM!

Allowed her to wield a tremendous sense of power as Pillars of white gold light bloomed from above and smashed into Jujugan and others surrounding her.

At this same time, they also crushed through the trees to arrive on the golden sands of this last Sacred Mound.

The hair of the Priestess weaved with maddened rage and fervor as when she looked around, the figure of Alexander wasn’t even anywhere to be seen.

She looked towards a distant land as in that direction…

A Dullahan and an Ancient Vampire appeared, their terrifying bodies turning into streaks of crimson gold light she could barely grasp!

Her eyes turned absolutely maddened as she bellowed out, feeling like something she almost had in her hands was about to be taken away!

"O YE UNFAITHFUL!"

White gold Pillars of light materialized around her and smashed towards the enemies rapidly swirling all over this area.

Her last remaining defenders were being picked off one by one as with seconds passing, more and more Undead and Beasts circled around her while resisting the Pillars of Faith she conjured!

"No."

Her skin became painted gold, and on her forehead, a slit appeared as a third eye bloomed.

"I heard the voice of the Mistress. I am Chosen of the Mistress. I will have my way!"

A golden eye blasted open in her forehead as a terrifying pressure that knocked Vishpala and all Tier 8 equivalent Kings radiated outwards.

Only Jujugan and the Tier 9 Undead remained to resist this terrifying pressure as the Night Walker, Jujugan, currently felt a terrifying calling.

The Covenant he was so close to this whole time.

He felt like he could hear its bells.

Its bells were ringing as he was infinitely close to it!

After all the boosts that came through from the connection through his Master, his life force became increasingly vigorous as he freely gave himself away to his Ability Gem.

WHOOSH!

Around this Undead, a dazzling blue sea with raging waves unfurled, a thing of beauty that in the next moment raged to become frozen glacial waves that circled around the Priestess- constricting her white gold Pillars as this allowed others to rush in.

Bloody good spears moving at Half a Millionth the Speed of Light thundered towards the Priestess as she truly could barely see them- her power only activating innately to defend her as even under the influence of four Ruler’s Covenant Authority points…she still faced a disastrous and outclassed match against this many terrifying Emperors!

Her gaze became crazed as tears fell from her eyes, the golden eye on her forehead becoming wider and wider as it bled gold blood.

"I…am a follower of the Mistress herself…"

She spoke dazedly as more and more white gold pillars bloomed to protect her, but it felt like her very life force was paying the price for it as her eyes became unfocused.

At this moment, everything she knew and believed in was crumbling as she couldn’t help but become dazed.

In her dazed state, wrath began to rise as she looked around and was about to bellow out when…

SAA!

A crimson gold spear of blood from an Ancient Vampire flickered past the glacial waves of a small sea and the Pillars of white gold light protecting her.

It fluttered past the gaps and smashed straight into her chest, the speed and lethality being so potent that it passed through cleanly! Your journey continues at empire

Her figure wasn’t flung back whatsoever.

Her feet remained entrenched in the golden sand.

And yet where her chest used to be, a clear hole could be seen.

90% of her heart, gone. Her lungs and a myriad of other organs, gone!

She looked dazedly at the hole in her chest that white gold light bloomed and tried to heal, but the damage was far too extensive.

At such a time, a crimson gold light flashed as from above, Alexander reappeared.

In his hands, there now lay 9 radiant golden rings as he had already obtained the Sacred Key on this floating landmass.

Beside him, Claire gazed coldly at the woman who proclaimed her to die, her hand rising up and falling as in the skies, a blue blade of lightning formed that swung down on the right hand of the Priestess.

Cleanly and without resistance, the hand was bisected at the shoulder level as an instant later, vines erupted from the ground and raised his cut off lime towards Alexander- the four golden rings on this limb regaining their brilliance as if they had lost their previous owner!

It was the reality of a single being attaining all 13 Keys of the Sacred Gold Mountain!
