The Empyreal Gem Master

Its gaze was ferocious as it captured every single detail nearby.

Alexander.

The three dragons near him, and the dead dragon held up by a spear of gold!

Every single thing fell under its gaze as the pressure that the Silver Ruler of Space radiated was terrifying!

It was.

And yet, Alexander remained floating in the skies with sharp eyes as he did not stumble before this pressure.

Within him, five authorities of Covenants of Nature swirled as they acted like a pillar of defense for him.

The Covenant of Gold, The Covenant of Fire, the Covenant of Lightning, the Covenant of Earth, and the Covenant of Nobility.

Only a single one was assimilated with him as it bore fruit to a Covenant Gem that allowed his whole being to burn with a terrifying density of authority as even against this Sky Ruler ahead of him, he felt free and unfettered!

[What an interesting little thing.]

The silver scales of the Sky Ruler of Space glistened as it floated valiantly, other Dragons moving in formation behind it.

A cruel smile was forming on the draconic jaws of this creature as its words continued.

[You are an interesting one, but let me ask you something. Do you have someone that you love, someone that you care for? I know that humans tend to group together and form truly strong attachments. So I theorized that the first time some of my dragons were killed, it may have been when they stumbled on your home, perhaps even your Sacred Mountain. So while setting out, I went ahead and sent 2 parties separate from the one that I led to go to the two areas where I last felt dragons to have been killed. Since you are here, I can assume that in one of these areas, your people would be left behind.]

…!

His smile became deeper.

His eyes released a devilish glow of brutality as if he was just waiting for the rapid change in expression on Alexander!

[It may be a mother, maybe a father, or even a lover. I say all of this to let you know that the instructions I gave to the dragons I sent out… were to very painfully and very slowly butcher the humans that they found. I wanted them to suffer, and I then wanted to tell you and let you know just how much your actions caused them to suffer. Was this not such an exemplary plan?]

The words of the Silver Ruler of Space were utterly terrifying as if he was bent on causing as much misery as he could, as if he wanted to destabilize and offset the state of mind of Alexander even before they fought!

And yet he did not get the reaction that he expected.

Alexander did not become enraged, nor did he show eyes of hopelessness.

Instead, he retained his calmness as he breathed out and said.

[It is interesting that I never truly had bloodlust or the need to kill, but somehow you dragons find a way to push forward this need very, very easily.]

WAA!

The space around him began to tremble.

He looked like he was about to release a heavy oppression of power as he started fighting back, but in the next moment, the massive silver-scaled dragon in the distance flashed and disappeared speedily, silver brilliance erupting out behind Alexander as an extremely sharp pointed dragon's tail thundered forward to pierce and decimate his small body!

[I'm glad I can evoke such an emotion in a soon-to-be-dead creature.]

Merciless.

Quick!

That was how this Silver Ruler of Space was!

And yet…

BOOM!

His sharp tail was stopped in place as Alexander didn't even turn around.

He only placed his hand backwards as currently, it was entirely gold in color and makeup.

As if the arm itself was made of pure gold!

It was enough to oppose and hold at bay the terrifying tail of the Silver Ruler of Space that vibrated with the Covenant of Space!

At the same time, a Support Gem was used silently.

Golden Ruler's Amplification Support.

It was the first support ability gem bound to the Bonds of the Gold Ruler, and it made it so that through the Vessel of the Heart of the Ruler, Alexander could fuse the qualities, bloodlines, and Abilities of 7 Followers under him!

The fused form was called the Enlightened Gold Ruler, and it could be maintained for a maximum of 5 minutes.

Alexander utilized this for the first time when he fought the party Balasa and Polet belonged to.

Now, 4 of the 7 slots on who he was fusing with the strongest qualities of were selected to be the newly bound 4 Dragons!

The qualities of the Three Headed Red Dragon, Balasa, the Blue Dragon, Polet, the Purple Dragon, Emiliana, and the Earth Dragon, Marcuso!

The other slots were filled up with the qualities of Claire, Jujugan, and the Ancient Vampire as the body of Alexander- of his Enneagram Clone, began to swell.

He held the buzzing tip of the tail of the Silver Ruler of Space, the roars of dragons echoing out in the surroundings as over a dozen of them circled him and were ready to attack.

And yet he was calm as his voice was steady.

[The dignity of the Dragon Lineage is spoken about a great deal…so let me have a taste of it.]

…!

BOOM!

A maddening aura and concentration of power emerged from him, the dragon's tail being knocked back while Alexander rapidly enlarged in size and power!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Stellar crimson blue scales appeared over his skin, their brightness being utterly blinding.

Two pairs of wings, four wings in total, bloomed behind his back as two were burning with red flames, while two cracked with pure lightning!

On his crimson blue claws, a platform of bronze earth formed as if anywhere he stepped on the skies, he would always have a pillar of earthen support.

The scales going towards his head changed color to become entirely gold, his entire head being that of a regal dragon as his golden eyes burned with flames!

Behind him, a tail crackling with gold thunder flashed dangerously as the whole body in this form…came to tower a bit over 110 meters.

Slightly bigger than the Silver Ruler of Space himself.

Alexander looked at himself and felt the unfathomable power contained in every muscle.

In every organ.

It felt multiple times grander than his own body as he couldn't help but nod!

[The body of a Dragon…why don't you show me its full regality?]

He spoke mockingly towards the Silver Rule of Space who was gazing over with increased rage.

[You dare to mock the lineage of Dragons? To imitate our forms? Let me show you what Dragons truly are!]

He gave a signal.

Above and all around, the circling Dragons stopped in place, their jaws opening like gates as an instant later, they all breathed out terrifying Dragon's Breath towards a single enemy!
