The Empyreal Gem Master

The analysis of a single creature.

Yet it was enough to give a small glimpse that contained shocking information.

A Mutated Gem Chimera.

And under it…the Blessing of Ephesus!

Ephesus!

"ROAR!"

The Mutated Gem Chimera roared out with such heavy hatred in its eyes- hatred that seemed to express its backer as its stinger struck out once more.

This time, it caused over a hundred poisonous green spears to form along with its thrust!

"Stay back, Master!"

Vishpala roared out as she and other Minions went to the forefront, their bodies lighting up as storms of lightning erupted around them.

Alexander pulled back Claire as his gaze carried immense seriousness, his chest beginning to light up as he actually came across a terrifying Beast that could even contend with his Minions!

So…it seemed that he needed more Minions.

"Summon…Undead."

He called out lightly!

While he called out such words, the description of the Summon Undead Gem that had changed slightly after 8 Support Ability Gems were added to it flashed before his eyes.

[...The type of Undead Minion summoned is heavily dependent on what initial Vigor Values they will have. If 40% of your Vigor Values are below 3,750, Average Tier Undead(Skeleton Knights, Wraiths, Zombies) will be summoned. At the demarcation of 22,500 Vigor, Lord Tier Undead(Dullahans, Vampires, Draugrs) will be summoned. At the demarcation of 67,500 Vigor, King Tier Undead(Lich, Death Knight, Undead Dragon) will be summoned. At the demarcation of 202,500 Vigor, Emperor Tier Undead(Night Walkers, Vigor Flayer Lich, Abyss Knight) will be summoned.]

…!

Yes.

The base Vigor that the Undead would have was improved to 40% of his own Vigor from 30%, and the demarcation values were reduced by 25% across the board!

For the capability to summon Emperor Tier Undead, there was a reduction from 270,000 Vigor Values to 202,500.

Alexander's own Vigor Values after the ridiculous add-on of 200,000 from Yggdrasil made this aspect of his life force tip a total of 350,000.

40% of this was 140,000, and when adding the Parameter multiplier of 2 that stemmed from the Gem Constellation, Endless Glacial Dream, which applied towards all parameters of those he was connected to Gem Recipes with...the base Vigor of any Undead that Alexander summoned became 280,000!

"..."

This was before the newest boon of the Gem Constellation, Yggdrasil, was applied to them.

Yggdrasil granted Alexander 200,000 Vigor and 100,000 Energeia, while those connected to him gained half of this.

It meant another 100,000 was added to anything summoned by the Summon Undead Ability Gem as the approximate Vigor Value…was actually 380,000.

Far, far in excess of the requirement of 202,500 to summon the highest-tier undead.

And so, when he called out so simply…

HUUM!

Above him, under the shrouding of the massive trees, an intricate silver magic circle bloomed as it spilled out heavy clouds of obsidian light.

Alexander's gaze flickered as shockingly, he felt 90,000 Values of Energeia instantly sapped away- the highest usage of Energeia at one moment he had ever gone through.

Even the massive Nurtured Tree he constructed that ate up over 100,000 Energeia was gradual!

But at such a high cost…

"Ka Ka Ka!"

A cackling laugh echoed out from the silver magic circle as a terrifying aura spilled out from it, the dark smoke billowing out and causing the heavy winds to become even rougher!

BOOM!

The magic circle then cracked as from its center, massive white bony hands emerged- along with a figure shrouded in a dark robe that carried the wails of thousands of souls within it.

In no time, at the center of the shattered magic circle, a robed skeletal creature emerged as its right hand grasped a bony staff with a cackling skull on top, dark smoke constantly leaking out of its extremities as its head…was a shining silver white skull.

Silver flames burned in its eye sockets, and on its skull, a bony crown burning with silver flames hung to the side as if to show it was of utmost royalty!

On its back, tendrils of crimson lightning formed glorious wings as another effect of a Gem Constellation was applied to it just like Alexander's other minions, along with a thin blue glacial armor covering its skeletal body.

Its sockets, burning with silver flames, gained clarity at this moment as this creature moved rapidly like a streak of light.

Towering over 15 meters, nearly seven times larger than Alexander himself, this creature appeared before him instantly and bowed with respect, its voice eerie.

"This lowly servant, Xebun, greets the Undead Master. Which poor souls shall I torment for you today?"

…!

[Tier 9 Vigor Flayer Lich- Xebun]

[Vigor]:: 450,000 (+2,250,000 Glacial Armor of the Deep) ( -/- Life Vessel)

[Energeia]:: 690,000

Terrifying values showed themselves for an entity distinguished as an Emperor.

An Emperor!

Alexander nodded with bright eyes at this creature as he replied.

"Torment any and all that stand before me as my enemies. Just bring me their Gems."

…!

A devilish smile twisted itself on the skull of the Vigor Flayer Lich.

"As the Undead Master wishes."

BOOM!

Its figure then disappeared once more, appearing on the earth below as its bony staff smashed into the earth, and it called out lightly, a sense of longing and reverie filling his words.

"Rise once more, my Legion!"

…!

The ground trembled as dark smoke began to cover everything nearby, an energy of death becoming pervasive!

At this time, the robes of Xebun fluttered.

Underneath, 9 deathly gems were barely observed on its skeletal structure as its gaze rose up and landed on the Mutated Gem Chimera, its chilling voice continuing to ring out as it raised its staff with its eyes flickering with flames of tyranny and majesty!

"Debilitating Curse of Life."

"Energeia Suppression."

"Bony Prison of Heresy."

…!

ROAR!

Dense spikes of bones instantly rose around the Scorpiowolf that isolated it, terrifying debuffs landing on it at the same time as its aura became weakened!

Vigor Flayer Lich.

Just what did such a distinction mean?

The silver flames within the Lich became cruel as after cursing the Mutated Gem Chimera that was contending with even Vishpala and outer Minions, it called out coldly.

"Life Vessel Generation- Vigor Drain."

From the bony prison surrounding the Scorpiowolf, spears erupted out and sank into its hard defenses.

The curses imposed on it greatly lowered its power and defenses as the bony spears skewered its body, its roars booming out filled with pain as its life force began to visibly leak out!

But its roars were akin to a signal as a few miles away, the tall trees began to shake.

The Vigor Flayer Lich paid no attention to this as its bony jaws smiled with unfettered joy, the energy of death leaking around it madly as on the earth it stood on, the outline of a titanic bony…dragon began to rise.

It was a heart-shaking scene as Anastasia and others under Alexander's banner looked at this with pure shock!

Their eyes turned from the terrifying Lich to Alexander as they wondered.

Just…what exactly was his actual Gem Recipe?!
