The Empyreal Gem Master

A drastic acceptance of a shocking reality!

The young human before them truly was the one controlling such powerful Beasts as even then, Elder Dadarius growled his words while looking towards him.

Bound and humiliated, when had a Tier 5 Beast like him forced to be in such a situation?

Around them, Lightning continued to crackle as they left this region free momentarily, but the Beasts surrounding them could unleash it all back at any moment they wished.

Even then, Elder Dadarius looked defiantly towards Alexander who asked once more.

"The Tier 5 Breach of Yendell where the Elven Beasts stemmed from…are you all still clustered there or spread out?" Stay updated with NovelBin.Côm

His question was filled with malice and killing intent.

He made it clear of his hatred towards them as receiving such a question, and Elder Dadarius actually laughed in anger.

"You stupid, ignorant thing. Are we still there? You think this is a question that matters? What, so you can try to hunt us down? No, human, we aren’t all still there! A gateway is just that, a place to pass through.

Our Legions have joined the armies of the Beast Clans Alliance as we raze down and take over your Human Fortresses. Whatever ignorant dream of revenge you have…will remain just that. A dream!"

His words were poisonous even while bound, Claire’s gaze changing beside Alexander as Azazel and others on the far back of the Caladrius listened with heavy expressions.

Yet Alexander only listened and nodded as he replied.

"And where are the armies of this Alliance where you all are clustered within?"

…!

"You’re serious?" Elder Dadarius sneered in anger as the bindings around him became even more constrictive.

"You dumb shit, you’re actually serious? What exactly do you think a single Human like you will be able to do? What do you even know? You have no grasp of the power and depth of our forces. You humans…never stood a chance."

Lightning crackled all around.

Yet the Elven Beast remained defiant, his gaze passing from Alexander and towards Claire and all others here.

"You dirty humans are too different from us. You know nothing even about your world. You have no ambition. You have no power. No backbone for the future! Your Mortal Fortresses are already falling, and your Ascendant Fortresses will follow.

This, I promise you."

…!

Insult after insult echoed out as the words of the Elven Beast of Corruption caused Azazel and other Gem Masters to turn grim.

At the same time, a light shone within Alexander’s eyes as he was thoughtful.

Ambition.

He heard similar words from the Caladrius about seeking power and conquering.

Did he have an ambition?

Apart from seeking revenge for what they did to his mother, and now to gain more strength to survive the powerful Beasts making their way into Ephesus…did he really have any ambition?

He looked at the Elven Beast of Corruption as he nodded.

"You’re right."

…!

"I did not have any strong ambition. I just had a few things that I wanted. These things that I want…I will make them the base of my ambition. "

WAA!

His eyes began to flash with crimson lightning.

"I want to live in a world where my mother was not mowed down by Beasts."

His eyes became brighter and brighter as he rose from the feathers of the Caladrius Nueire and walked towards the Beast of Corruption.

"I want to live in a world where I and those around me aren’t treated like animals to slaughter."

…!

"I want to live in a world where there isn’t a constant threat of death from beasts I have never met."

The dark clouds that had been gathering above this city became even more potent.

In no time, drizzles of rain also began to fall here.

Rain.

Alexander raised his head up as the raindrops fell, his words small and yet heavy at the same time.

"I…want to be free."

Freedom.

Freedom to not fear for his life or his loved ones!

He clenched his fists as he turned towards the defiant figure of the Tier 5 Elven Beast of Corruption.

"I will make this the base of my ambition as it seems like in order to achieve this freedom…I need to become someone else."

…!

"My little bird here said I need to be a Conqueror. What do you think?"

He was inches away from the bound Elven Beast of Corruption.

He could see the green of his pupils.

The defeated breath from his lips formed into a sneer.

"You? A Conqueror? You are not made for it, human. But you want to know where the armies of the Elven Beasts are moving within? I’ll make it easy for you. I was sent here to gather more Tier 4 Beasts into such an army.

Its target was an Ascendant Fortress under you humans, as I think…they can make a little detour."

…!

CRACK!

On the bound body of Elder Dadarius.

A crystal shattered on his chest as it seemed to have received a small infusion of Energeia.

He smiled devilishly.

"A little crystal to you. But breaking it means I have found something worthy of the attention of the Battalion I belong to, and that my power isn’t enough for it. Do not worry, Human seeking to be a Conqueror. I will bring an army to raze everything down right here! Haha…haha!"

"..."

Alexander felt the coldness and apathy of the Beast up close as he nodded.

Ambition.

Power.

He looked deeply into the eyes of the Beast as he voiced out.

"For what I want…I will become just a little more like your Beasts. Starting off with you."

…!

Elder Dadarius’ face became vile.

"Oh yeah? And what will you d-"

BOOM!

Crimson lightning cracked.

Blood spattered.

Bound and unable to put up any resistance, where the head of the Tier 5 Elven Beast of Corruption used to be…was smoking blood and brain matter.

Off to the side, the two Tier 4 Elven Beasts of Corruption trembled.

Behind him, Claire’s face showed a sad expression!

Alexander felt the crimson blood on his cheeks as he wiped it down calmly, his eyes firm as he came to a decision.

"I will become a Conqueror."

…!

For his freedom.

For what he wanted to achieve!

For being happy later on, he would be more Beast like now!
